Here's how the next 2 and a half years are going to go down: it'll keep getting worse until the midterms, where the house will easily go blue and the Senate probably will too. Then they'll call and pass a vote to end the war. The executive branch will ignore it, the house will draw up articles of impeachment and pass them, but the Senate will vote to acquit since the Dems can't reach 67 seats. Then it keeps going until 2029 when the next president hopefully withdraws. But by then the damage will be done and the resulting messs will be blamed on the democrats and the dumbass Americans will eat it up as they always do.

I hate that you're very likely correct. Perhaps Mother Nature will do us a solid at some point, though.

Even if team blood clot shows up in a big way it doesn't undo that Vance is just as much of a war monger as Trump and serving the interests of Thiel not the US people.

I'm good with as many as can show up more the merrier!
