Boycotting them since Jan. 1. 😎

Mmm, this Freedom Water tastes amazing

Dems can capitalize on Republican cowardice by holding their own town halls in nearby districts where R politicians can’t be bothered to show up. Bernie and a few others have already started doing this.

As a thin-skinned narcissist, Trump is emotionally dependent on admiration. He looks at authoritarians like Putin, Xi, and Kim, and he desperately wants what they have. How better to meet the need for admiration than to be a dictator that people must love and praise or else face the consequences?

By appeasing and palling around with these brutal authoritarians, he thinks they’ll help him become one of them.

Can’t lose what you never had.

Trump never planned to make an agreement with Ukraine. The agreement, as one-sided as it was in the US’ favor, was getting close to becoming reality, so Trump torpedoed it in order to appease Putin.

Or if you want to avoid Big Tech altogether, there’s DigitalOcean, Akamai, Linode, IBM, Cloudflare, and a handful of other point providers.

They’ve been doing as much as they can, such as stalling votes and filing lawsuits. They have literally no power, so there isn’t much they can do short of committing violence.

HOWEVER, one thing they could be doing is more attention-grabbing stunts. The octogenarians in party leadership don’t understand that attention is the most valuable commodity these days. If they formed a human shield to block people getting into the Senate chambers to further delay Trump’s nominees, they’d get heaps of attention and far fewer people would be asking what they’re doing to stop the fascist takeover. At least their objections would be visibly plastered all over TV and social media rather than confined to the vote tallies in the Senate.

Down the road, when (or if) Trump needs to have actual legislation passed, he’s going to have a major problem in the House. The House Republican caucus can’t agree on what to order for lunch, so they’ll likely need Democratic votes to get any legislation passed. This is the only area where Dems have a modicum of power.

The Gaza stuff is particularly troubling. I suspect he’s trying to provoke a terrorist incident in the US so that he can somehow set himself up as dictator for life. There’s of course no precedent or allowance for it in the law, but he’s been making it clear that neither of those things are going to stop him.

Lil Marco is such a pathetic bootlicking weenie.

MAGAts put pipe bombs all over DC on January 6, 2021

This is completely fucking shocking. I hope all the Uncommitted folks are proud of themselves.

AOC and others who are prepared to fight this bullshit need to spin off their own political party. I figure it would only take the departures of a handful of high-profile progressives to make the whole house of cards fall. The country is being pillaged, and the Dems’ response has been completely fucking impotent. Time to build a new party that isn’t run by geriatric milquetoasts.

No fucking shit

Time for the Democrats to filibuster. I hope they can get their heads out of their asses long enough.

Hopefully Sheinbaum told Trump that she’d send the troops to the border ahorita.
