They could have voted to impeach recently, instead they chose to normalize the president not needing approval to do acts of war.

And before that there was the budget.

And before that they censured Al Green.

And before that they approved Trump’s nominees.

But yeah, Democrats are totally powerless to do anything. I’m sure that will convince people they’re worth their time.

Live by the sword, die by the sword. We let Gazan children die because of who their parents voted for. I’m not saying two wrong make a right but that doing what is right starts with us.

I wonder how much of it is vibe coded at this point…

My children are 22, 25, and 27. I will literally fight ANYONE for their future

Translation: promote them out of harms way and MTG will fall in line.

File this under: never expect someone who is misled to learn the right lesson, ever.

It kind of does though? It is like the inverse of the Nazis at a table story. If a Nazi stands at the door to keep Jews out and liberals are inside dining but don’t ever talk about the Jews or invite a Jewish person in then it really does call into question what they are against the Nazis for.

I’m more concerned about actual effects on the world right now, legality has been irrelevant for 50+ years.

And you don’t see the two as connected? A fucking mazing.

The context was us asking for Palestinian or queer voices to be part of the campaign, and we got a neocon instead. We could have had “all of the above” but they were only interested in inviting those further on the right.

Then Congress should declare war per the constitution. Or do we not care about due process as long as it hurts the people we think are evil?

What, they couldn’t get Liz Cheney’s endorsement? These people are so out of touch…

Who gets to say what is a fringe issue though? Is Gaza a fringe issue? What about universal healthcare? When we let corporations frame the debate, they will always ask us to sacrifice our own to save ourselves but never the billionaire class.

I wonder what was his price.

Thank you for saying this. You have people telling you the leadership is turning people off and your response is to blame those people for why your party is so unpopular. I think I better understand why Gen Z is actually more conservative than us millennials.

The Roman empire was putting to death many prophets and god incarnates. The innovation of the Jesus story was that he didn’t stay dead, but he also conveniently didn’t stick around.

There are about ~3000 billionaires. Or a billionaire every minute.

It’s not like we have taxes to pay for such things (at least anymore thx to Doge)

All that talk of businesses getting him to pullback was just wishful thinking?

I mean churches should be anticapitalist and before the turn of the last century they often were. But then property got expensive and churches would need loans… Now we have prosperity gospel and mega churches. The internet ran the same course but in just a couple decades.

Last century: whistling tones into the phone to get a free call

This century: faking an accent to get the police to respond

Wait, that sounds like the last century as well…
