   @judgedread Indeed. Credit where it is due: tangerine tubbo has come out swinging and demanding that whoever gets the job allow him to make recess appointments (blocking this ability was one of the many ways Turtle Boy impeded his agenda in 2016-2017)
   
   Very good US political analysis here:

     @TrevorGoodchild @judgedread Should be interesting, maybe the rouge retard does have some shred of a soul left he hasn't yet sacrificed the synagogue of Satan and will actually try to do something for us in the process of serving his owners, let's hope! But Mitch is doing his best to screw him before he even gets in.. hopefully the process to remove a senate majority leader isn't as much of a pain in the ass as speaker of the house, just a party issue? Don't have to involve the Bolshevik wing?

     @HonkHonkBoom McConnell is trying to sabotage fat orange retard out of pure spite and as a gift to his donors on his way out. Fat orange man has maybe 10 actual, true allies in the Senate (out of 53-54 Republicucks overall). His only leverage with the rest is how much he can make them fear him
     
     Cornyn is a shitty choice as a majority leader but he is up for re-election in 2026, so he can be pressured somewhat. Thune is safe until 2028, and he really despises cheeto man
     
     Oh, well :akkoShrug:

     @TrevorGoodchild @HonkHonkBoom cautious optimism is always warranted
     
     that being said, dread's team b theory does have explanatory power here
     
     the cheeto fuhrer's first term was a running gunfight with team a and b
     
     thune/mcconnell et al are errand boys. they'll do what they're told
     
     team be seems to have gotten the memo: it's support trump or face masada 2.0. and none of these guys are heros. hat tip to the para-glider brigade for this one.
     
     it does appear that the trump-waffen were not idle during the 4 year down time as the recent election indicates
     
     i have a laundry list of things i'd like to see, but operation wetback/warpspeed is a great move in the right direction
     
     i could be completely off base here, but the constant feed of black pills for the last 4 years is draining
     
     ironically, the primary reason i check on trevor and dread's feeds is the whitepills they deliver. maybe abrasive. maybe caustic, but a ton of fun with clarity and insight as well
