Yeah, and removing that property from IHGs reservation system has to be a violation of the franchise agreement, unless it was at the franchisee’s request. This could get interesting.

Agree Venezuela would be the right priority. It would be nice, though, to include all his abuses of international relations in the name of national security… tariffs, breaking international agreements, renting international torture prisons, rendition and deportation of immigrants regardless of legal status.
And a massive investigation and cataloguing of all the instances of corruption and self-dealing by Trump, his family and his cronies in government. Disclosure is a form of accountability.

It’s what we need to do, but even if we get the wave election I hope and pray for it won’t happen. Congressional districts in too many states are too gerrymandered to permit that, and the Senate is even more gerrymandered than the House is, albeit via GOP shenanigans in post-Civil War admission of states rather by redistricting.
That’s why one of the early actions when Democrats have a trifecta in 2029 should be expanding the House to 900 (?) members and admitting Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. (outside the Federal District) as states. This is my Job 2–Job 1 has to be Court reform.

Another day at TPM, where a bunch of high school students eagerly report the political news to nobodies making sarcastic comments protected behind the safety of their keyboards. What is the fucking point of constantly pointing out what’s wrong if no one is willing to actually do anything?
We do? Okay what are YOU doing to make that happen? Or is this post the sum total of your efforts?

Sure. Just like Impeachment I: The “Perfect” Phone Call. Harp and harp and harp for a week or two on that One Big Thing to where the citizenry turns off the hearings in disgust… and then have Presideing Judge Roberts rule that it was totally A-OK for Trump to have done that.
No, impeachment requires a whole basket or boxcar of deplorables.

“Right-wing hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman got involved and the hotel was removed from Hilton’s channels.”
Thanks for naming this fascist. He was one I didn’t know about. I see he’s complaining about the proposed wealth tax in California. I suggest we turn it up on him until the SOB is screaming. Make him and the rest of the billionaire class assist in paying for all the damage the RW has done to this country.

I’m wondering how much damage/chaos these ICE agents create while staying at a Hampton Inn. I mean they’re armed, they’re not really professional, and some of them need to be large and in charge 24/7.
Or there’s the economic part where regular folks finding out that there are ICE agents in the hotel that they are booked might not feel comfortable with that much mayhem around them.

This should be one of the primary articles of impeachment. The level of corruption cannot be ignored.

Hilton hotels include Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, LXR, Hilton, Signia, Curio, DoubleTree, Tapestry, Embassy Suites, Tempo, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton, Tru, Home2 Suites, LivSmart Studios, Spark, Canopy, Motto, NoMad, Graduate, and Hilton Grand Vacations. Boycott all of them.

Wow. That’s a lot of brands. Never liked Hilton’s anyway.
EZ though, haven’t traveled since the CoVid mess started and not planning tp any time soon.
Way back in the 60s, when Mom and I were going to Louisiana to visit her grandmother (August. No AC. Ugh) we were traveling on discount tickets since Dad flew for PanAm and they had a deal with Delta. But!
Tickets were called SubLo - Subject to Load - so if the plane was full, we waited for the next one. Getting from NY to ATL was easy. Then we had to take the SE local,
ATL to Montgomery, AL, to Birmingham, to Jackson, MS to finally our destination was the thriving metropolis of Monroe, LA.
We could get bumped at any of these, wait around and once the last flight out left, we would go to the airport Hilton then be up at the crack of dawn for the first flight out - usually pretty empty
I would be inclined to believe that he’d welcome another conviction-proof impeachment (given the spineless Rs in the Senate) to distract from all his other disasters and the Epstein blowback and to allow him to reprise his role as the universe’s biggest victim. (Having associated with a pedophile long before becoming president is probably not impeachable under any view of “high crimes and misdemeanors.”). He should be more worried about the 25th Amendment; at some point his mental deterioration will be too evident for even his biggest sycophants, who are seemingly unable to keep him away from the cameras that document it.

“I’ll get impeached,” he continued, before claiming that the reason “we” don’t impeach Democratic presidents is because Democrats are “meaner than we are.”
That’s not the reason we don’t impeach Democratic presidents dolt, but we do impeach them when they break laws. Only Willy Clinton comes to mind. As for republicans only you and Nixon come to mind.
As for Democrats being meaner I keep hoping.

That makes sense that he’s just doing the pre-whining and laying out the campaign argument to get sympathy among the MAGA voters to “save him” from those mean Democrats.
