The fuck is happening in the us? It is getting worse and worse.
We are just returning to normal. The last 40 or so odd years were an anomaly in our 250 year span.
Should we start sending food and medical aid to you across the ocean?
Can you send bombs instead to a specific location? The aid can go to other places
Go on, Ted.
Fair request, might be more cost effective as well. First ones towards a particular house of very light color perhaps?
There was a bridge that needed to be rebuilt and the locality actually lobbied I think Russia to pay for it since the federal government wouldn't. It was funded shortly after that.
Countries should absolute send aid if I only to embarrass us.
I'd say it's the consequence of a lack of consequences.
Frankly, it's getting better, by getting worse. They are losing in court on literally everything. He lost so much this week, that they literally gave him a consolation win: they codified the name change to "The Department of War." That was his big win this week.
There is strong feeling that the momentum is now with the Democrats, and they are slowly, but inexorably grinding way at MAGA. Approval rates are steadily declining, and are close to dropping below the 30 percent mark. MAGA politicians are starting to push back against Trump, some even losing their protected status. He will really bleed support after the bloodbath Midterms, as the survivors look forward to 2028. A LOT of them are not going to want to be remembered as MAGA traitors when the Dems fully take over in 2028, so they will be whistling a different tune after the Midterms.
There is a definite feeling of a political shift in the country, and it's not just on the left. MAGA is in deep trouble, and they know it. They are fighting for their literal lives now, and they're going to get rough. But the rest of us know it, and we're ready. We aren't afraid of them, and we're looking forward to punishing them for their CRIMES.
There will be a big change in America after the Midterms.
We aren't afraid of them, and we're looking forward to punishing them for their CRIMES.
I'd like to suggest any punishment involves a cauldron of boiling oil.
The four Democrats who voted with most Republicans to approve the measure were Reps. Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Adam Gray (Calif.), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), and Don Davis (NC).
And also 209 GOP, let's not forget about that.
Vicente already won the primary for his seat, however the other three are up for reelection NEXT YEAR so we should be focused on replacing them as soon as the midterms end. Anybody capable of challenging them should already be applying.
Somebody is going to say that they are in competitive seats, so they had to vote with MAGA, but that's for when you're going to win the vote anyway, so you let a few vote against it to save face - but you don't lose the vote.
These are just four traitors who are too stupid to read their memos. The DNC is no longer in charge, we are. The Dems are where the Tea Party was in 2010 - we're taking over the party, and we don't care what the establishment Corporate Dems want. They are nearly as responsible for this mess as MAGA, and the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries is big part of the problem.
I'm hearing calls for Schmuck's removal as Senate leader,but Jeffries has got his people praising his piss poor leadership. They're saying that he's been able to balance the growing progressive movement, but that's about to explode in the House after the Midterms. The Progressive wing will not only be larger than ever, they will be highly MOTIVATED to collect MAGA scalps, and Jeffries better cooperate, or he'll be gone, too.
I'm not even for giving him a shot. He had his shot during the Biden administration, and he was more than willing to follow the Biden Administrations slow walk on punishing Trump. Just replace him with someone who is willing to fight for us.
4 out of 212, I want to be real clear that we need to remove every single one of the GOP at all costs come November.
With people who don’t take AIPAC money
Reps. Vicente Gonzalez (Texas) Adam Gray (Calif.), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), and Don Davis (NC).
hope yall making alist of all this shit. one slash or whip lash for each kid and women who went hungry. you sobs
Having useless eaters consume fruits and vegetables is very elitist, and is just (repeat it with me, kids!) waste, fraud, and abuse. Also, it's DEI and woke.
-- Kevin Hassett, probably (or Russell Vought. Or Stephen Miller. Or Steve Bannon. or any of a slew of right wing shitheads trying to ruin this country)
But both parties are the same!
I wish the US would collapse already..
Right, that way they lose their social security, medicaid, and snap as well?
Yeah, to hell with those 299,995,000 people. Small price to pay to get rid of the relatively minute government clan.
Small price to pay to rid the world of a virus
Except it isn't proven to do that at all.
Collapse would be a lot of short term pain and chaos but that's where this train goes anyway. Sooner the better. Rebuilding might be possible
