    We cannot have another Biden or Ford type who comes in and is like “let’s just let bygones be bygones and move forward productively.”

    We need someone who’s going to be there holding a press conference, passing out champagne to folks as the workers rip those letters down and throw them in a dumpster. Not just this, but every other thing he’s tarnished and destroyed. Fix it loudly, fix it proudly.

      Absolutely. The next Dem prez needs to be a warrior, who will come away from his inauguration saying “Round up all those MAGA motherfuckers and send them to Gitmo.” We’ll sort them out over the next few months. Immediately revoke ALL MAGA executive orders and legislation.

      Confiscate the entire Trump estate, and start investigations of the estates of ALL of his Sociopathic Oligarch associates, starting with Musk, Theil, Ellison, etc. beginning with full freezes on their entire estates. Their passports are suspended, and their international travel assets frozen, no planes or yachts. They will remain on America, while their alleged crimes are fully investigated.

      MAGA must be declared a domestic terror organization, and a serious national security threat, and crushed mercilessly and ruthlessly. They need to be removed from our government and society, prohibited from existing, and their followers prohibited from ever running for elected office under 14A/S3.

          You are 100% correct about the past elected Dems, and most of the current ones.

          But there is a new breed of Dem rising, like AOC, Frost, Crockett, Smallwell, etc. They are the sorts of courageous warrior Democrats that we need as leaders. We have to get rid of the virtuosically mediocre losers like Schmuck Schumer and Jeffries who have partnered with MAGA to hand America over to the worst predators in the world, so they can exploit us ruthlessly.

          The 2026 Midterms is almost certainly going to be a turning point for Progressive and Socialist Democrats, and give them a solid coalition of power in Congress. If they use that opportunity to act boldly and decisively, then they can increase their representation in 2028, and get even more powerful.

          The opportunity is ahead of us, if they don’t squander it the way Biden did so irresponsibly. I’ll never forgive him for that.

      We can and we will. That’s the only kind of politician Wall Street will bankroll for the job

      Fix it loudly, fix it proudly.

      “We put up a bill to fund a committee to begin discussing a name change, but the Republicans blocked it. There’s nothing we can do”

          I am excited by an administration that is the exception to the rule. We have a County Judge down in Houston who is a similar exception. After eight years in office during which she has been at war with the state nearly continuously, sued, harassed, slandered, and threatened with deportation, she’s done little to change Harris County in no small part thanks to opposition from within her own party.

          A great politician, an amazing bureaucrat, a wonderful person, but entirely without the institutional support enjoyed by Corrupt-o-crats like Henry Cueller and John Whitmire.

      I had this thought on “if I was president” and in theory the executive order would be legal and “generic enough” to not be seen as a targeted thing.

      “Any Federally Name entity should have their name reverted back to how it was named at conception or its last Congressional approved name.”

      Gulf of Mexico comes back, Trump’s name gets just eradicated from existence, DoD is back.

      I am sure there are some things I obviously missed the history of name changes on, but still probably an overall positive to just removing that shitstain “legacy” from our history.
