The announcement comes the same day a White House official told NBC News that President Donald Trump would be attending the game.

    I agree, what’s that timeline look like for you though? 4 years? 8 years? The “wait” is gonna fuckin’ suck.

    Crossing my fingers for the first trans president, though.

      2 years. Think positively, act positively, make it happen.

      2/3 control of the House and a clear majority in the Senate. Not enough to make an impeachment stick, but more than enough to stop the madness.

        2026 could be a great year for the Dems in the Senate. The Republicans currently hold 22 of the 33 seats up for election. Depending on how much Trump fucks the economy, it’s mathematically possible for the Dems to hold 67 Senate seats in 2027.

        That’s enough to simultaneously impeach and remove Trump and Vance and elevate a Democratic Speaker of the House to the Presidency.

        The odds of it happening are almost zero. They won’t win all 33 elections - but they could conceivably get to 60 seats - enough to block GOP fillibusters. They managed it in 2008, and that’s the same Senate cycle up for election in 2026.

      Frankly I couldn’t tell you, but whatever the timeline is, I expect it will be much faster than before, as everything is.

      There are a few very young politicians and new media commentators that know what’s up, and I think we should rally around them.

      In the meantime, boycott as best as possible, build, develop and protect your community and funk up the authoritarian machinery at every turn possible.

      The revolution will be federated.

        “Funk up the authoritarian machinery at every turn possible.”

        I’ll bring the drums 😎

        Jokes aside, that sentence is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. “How can I cause the most disruption with the least harm?” lmfao No good answers yet, but I’ll keep pondering 🤔🫡
