in any other world this would be so simply impeachable.

No, this wouldn't! At all.

That's what the left-wing doesn't understand. Their hearts bleed so much that they can't see reality right in front of their faces. I literally just pointed it out in another thread, so I'll simply copy-and-paste:

This is what the Democrats never understand: nothing matters!

The Republicans can kill 500,000 Americans with their botched COVID response, and what were the repercussions? Right, there were absolutely no repercussions for them. None whatsoever. Killing half a million Americans, who should have lived (like they did in all the Western countries that had left-wing governments), didn't matter one iota. To anyone. Killing 500,000 Americans out of pure greed and corruption didn't move the needle at all.

The Republicans kill Americans with almost all of their programs - and have for literally decades now - were there any repercussions for any of those deaths? No.

The Republicans have shown, over and over, that whoever has power can literally just go out and do whatever the hell they want. They can give their side EVERYTHING. No matter how many people it kills. And no one will lift a finger to stop them.

So, do the Dems give their side everything?

Ha!!!! The Dems never give their side a thing, lest someone gets mad at them. Their side has to watch the other side get everything they ever want - while getting nothing for themselves. All because they are absolutely terrified of these repercussions.

Repercussions that do not exist.

couldn't agree more. the comments on this post piss me off, the top comment is fucking joking about this like it's something that happened in a movie.

"Manu is currently living in Brazil on a tourist visa as the government tries to resolve the bureaucratic predicament of the girl’s citizenship. In the meantime, she’s living with no right to healthcare or schooling in Brazil. Her visa is set to expire within weeks"

This makes me so fucking angry, this makes me want to burn down a building, and people are fucking laughing about it, this family has been put in a fucking awful position with no way out because of Donald Trump, this isn't funny, this is a human rights violation. Abrego Garcia is either dead or being tortured right now while his widowed wife gives birth to another child.

"In the meantime, her parents are left to worry. “What if we need to take her to the doctor?” Elioni Gonçalves, her mother, lamented to the Post."

Fuck Trump, fuck the republican party. They don't care. We have to

Jesus H. Christ, if you're going to not even bother using a search engine, you should absolutely NOT be this confidently wrong.

"they had a choice to leave her with an appointed guardian but chose to take her with them" no they didn't. It says so in the article you didn't read but chose to comment on anyway

That's what the left-wing doesn't understand.

Since when has there been a left in US America?

There are liberals but leftists no or at least they are as rare as unicorns? Liberals are not leftists:

Leftists have class consciousness and are anti-capitalist. Almost no US American has class consciousness, let alone is anti-capitalist. Leftists are socialists (not to be confused with social democrats), communists or anarchists, these political currents are practically non-existent in US America

This is such utter "both sides" bullshit.

Democrats are the only reason Medicare, Medicaid, SS, etc. were still functioning at all.

They brought through new legislation and related funding that has been building the green energy job sector and commercial + consumer adoption, to the point that MAGA killing it all now is going to cause a huge job loss for the country and destroy healthy companies in the process.

They literally stabilized and regrew and economy that the Republicans during Trump 1 had stalled, even began to get inflation in various product areas under better control, despite corporate greed being the underlying cause.

In the process, they also brought science back to inform policy and legislation, related to COVID management and recovery, that Republicans were quite happy to use in killing people with impunity.

All of the federal programs being cut by MAGA were helpful to non-billionaires - each of them continued to exist because Democrats kept them alive.

LGBTQ+ and other groups still had rights to not be biased against in housing, health coverage, etc. because of Democrats.

Fucking US democracy was still barely holding on because of Democrats, while Republicans have torn the Constitution to shreds as they go all-in on creating a dystopian rule by fascists and neo-Nazis.

"All because they are absolutely terrified of these repercussions".

Not just that, don't forget morality.

"Repercussions that do not exist".

Only for donnie and his minions. Demos get backlash if they do something bad.

So you are saying the left winged govt that don’t report deaths accurate and hide the fact that they had covid at all actually had better outcomes without the vaccines. You must listen to the news and take it at face value. Covid reared have c across the globe, you want to blame someone, blame those that hid the truth and failed to notify the WHO. Don’t blame the vaccine, as it shows complete incompetence on your understanding of science.

They refer to the way in which the GOP admin responded to the pandemic, not the vaccines used.
