Of course.

I see a "worse than Fetterman" here. And that's saying something.

This strikes me as the kind of illegal order our military personnel should be refusing.

It's a fucking Red Wedding at sea.

Why doesn't he just come out and say he loves killing children and torturing civilians, FFS.

I agree it should be abolished. But "what they want for the future" needs to be made a lot more clear, and that takes time and work. Otherwise it just becomes another "defund the police" slogan that no one understands and we never get the chance to do anything.

And you're an idiot. Bye.

Yeah, I mean as much as Ioathe Cuellar, Golden et al, I'd rather have someone with a D in front of their name than anyone with an R. Get the seat, then make them irrelevant. Period.

They've asked for a lot more than that.

Because they're realistic about what they can and cannot accomplish right now. It's supremely annoying to see all the little foot-stompers squawk about how NotHIng ELse IS aCCeptTaBle when, guess what, we're going to HAVE to accept something else rn if we want at least some of the bad stuff to stop.

Wait 'til he finds out it's too late for any of that.

05.03.2026 22:21 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It's not. I'd so much rather be arguing with the stupid people on their side than the stupid people on ours.

Tell us all how they can do this from their position in the minority.

She got dirtied up in the Senate the day before. Senator Welch and his "special advisor" air quotes was a joy to watch. I, too, want more of this, but I'm not going to overlook the good stuff when it happens.

They got Kristi Noem ousted from her post today. It was pretty shrewd to expose the one thing they knew would irk Trump the most - her showboating herself instead of him. It was a good day. I'm going to enjoy it.

Exactly. And those sTrOnGLy WoRdEd LeTteRs create a historical record and paper trail that memorialize every lie, every Constitutional violation, and every crime for all time.

He should be blocked regardless. The man is an idiot.

Into the cornfield they go!

Too late. She's been ousted. Sadly, she still has a job with the administration.

That's....a really, really good idea.

I'm pretty sure he had left by then.

All of the above, but she's also really, really dumb.

Please, I beg you, never use the word "naked" in such close proximity to "Trump" ever again.

Yeah she's good!

In fairness, that's happened a lot in our history. This guy just happens to be the worst.

04.03.2026 18:37 ๐Ÿ‘ 4 ๐Ÿ” 1 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

You have it exactly backward. And he wasn't the one who gerrymandered her, so your insinuation is really unfair.

It's all good. Whitehouse was ๐Ÿ”ฅas well!

It was actually Peter Welch who did the air quotes, but it was glorious.

lol, I knew what you meant!
