A senior House Democrat reportedly told Axios that many in Congress have resigned themselves to a second Trump term following an assassination attempt on the former president’s life this weekend.
While most lawmakers who spoke to Axios said that they could not make any proper predictions until after the Democratic National Convention, at least one senior leader believed that former President Donald Trump will win the election.
“We’ve all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency,” the lawmaker was quoted as saying.
This anonymous quote sparked numerous reactions on social media.
“If you’re a ‘senior Democrat’ that feels this way, you should absolutely retire and make space for true leadership that refuses to resign themselves to fascism. This kind of leadership is functionally useless to the American people. Retire,” said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
“Beyond pathetic,” said Never Trump Republican Bill Kristol.
Aside from Trump, other congressional Democrats told Axios that the move to replace President Joe Biden as the nominee has likely ended due to the attempted assassination.
“Congressional Democrats’ all-consuming angst over President Biden’s candidacy has taken an abrupt backseat in lawmakers’ minds in the wake of an assassination attempt against former President Trump,” reported Axios.
Democrat lawmakers said in private they will be shifting priorities to their own security and that of their staff as opposed to settling political scores in the hopes of bringing the country to a calm.
“We’re all just focused on expressi....

Democrat diversity in the face of the Biden catastrophe has yielded a total absence of meaningful leadership.
There is no Democrat “Leader”
Losing power, control, and Ukraine $$$$$$.
Democrats never surrender power voluntarily. They have horrible things planned in the coming weeks/months designed to maintain their grip over this country.
I wonder if there's going to be a shortage of criminal lawyers in DC.. (?)
They continue to incite the assassination of Trump.
That would make it impossible for the Trump Administration to undo a ton of the regulations implemented by Biden and the Democrats. Courts would continue to enforce them because they'd still be part of the Code of Federal Regulations. And trying to remove them one at a time by legislation would be stopped by a Dem filibuster.
If this were a movie, Biden would insist on a staged, unsuccessful assassination attempt on himself, and the Dems would take the opportunity to make it happen for real.
The Admirals and Generals need to be cleaned out. For example, Admiral Brett Mietus, the Navy’s DEI Admiral for the past few years has done nothing but destroy the morale and morals and traditions in the U.S. Navy but has just been promoted by Biden for being a good little soldier. This is the type of guy that should be drummed out.
Yep, they won’t even try to cheat this time. But their plan is to destroy everything so Trump gets the blame.
Would that include no more attempts to jail or shoot your political opponent?
I'm just objecting to the idea of firing everyone in the administrative agencies and not replacing them, because that would make it impossible to undo those regulations except by legislation.
I have detailed in the past TrumpII must include the KNOW Your Federal Employee Act, which would be an invasive 10-page questionnaire to build a permanent database. And will be preceded by a Return To Work order! No more remoting in from NoVa or Miami or Aruba! Back to the copper mines, bitches!
I'm just objecting to the idea of firing everyone in the administrative agencies and not replacing them, because that would make it impossible to undo those regulations except by legislation. It's giving up voluntarily one of the biggest powers of the Presidency.

“I’m sure the people who matter don’t buy this“
Exactly. They are nowhere near giving up. At the moment they see this “unity” scam as a way back. MSM is pushing Biden’s new found BS narrative as calming the nation
Well, just darn. Democrats realize they can no longer campaign against Hitler, so they have nothing left to campaign on.
They do best when there is poverty, division, wars or some combination thereof. Compare and contrast what America went through when THEIR greatest icon (FDR) was in charge versus when his antithesis (Reagan) was in charge.
Kinda sucks, that was their ONLY campaign message, demonize Trump/Hitler.
Oh yeah, my comment was somewhat rhetorical. It’s what I ask people who make hyperbolic statements about Trump being “a threat to democracy.”
When I bring up those questions, they tend to clam right up.
