As posted in a different thread:
I don’t care if it’s cloture or the actual bill itself…
There should be zero Dems voting “yes” on any-fucking-thing these MAGAt bastards want.
Blatant and complete obstruction is the only way to play this hand for the foreseeable future.
Those Dems that do vote yes… 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕
Fetterman was a given, since he’s been cozying up with the GOP as of late
Well no, when MAGA wants something that’s actually good, there’s no reason to oppose it.
The Republican leadership just instructed the DOJ to put LGBTQ+ activist groups on a fuckin’ watch-list like they’re goddamn terrorists (and they’re gonna fuckin’ do it). The Trump Administration is doing everything possible to break the US Constitution when it comes to the freedom of expression, the freedom of and from religion, the Presidential Term Limit, and birthright citizenship which regardless how you personally feel about it is baked into the US Constitution.
So why don’t you tell me what they’re doing that you find so goddamn appealing. Because I just don’t get it. Maybe I’m too fucking stupid, but I just don’t see it.

I agree with you what is being done to freedom of expression is outrageous. I’m not aware of changes with freedom of religion, nor presidential term limits. There’s a case for arguing birthright citizenship doesn’t apply to people born here with illegal parents, it will be debated in court.
To answer your question, Trump during his first term passed legislation to enhance protection of animals. Recently he brokered a ceasefire deal in Gaza. A reasonable person can oppose most of his actions and also acknowledge when he does good ones.
And just when do you truly think any MAGAt will propose something “good”…???
Don’t be daft.
🙄
No income tax on people earning less than $150k for example.
Trump has also passed animal protection laws during his first term.
Yes, the rich fucking love no-income-tax schemes. Because that’s always followed by more-sales-tax-to-replace-lost-revenue schemes, which is demonstrably proven to move the tax burden from the obscenely wealthy to the other end of the economic spectrum.
Our $800 billion war machine isn’t going to stop just because 80% of Americans don’t pay taxes anymore.
You realize the rich would still be paying income taxes, as they make more than $150k… and they would be paying those sales taxes too.
The rich don’t pay income taxes already.
The top 1% pay 40% of all federal income taxes.
Pfft…
Anyone looking seriously/hopefully/longingly at those pitiful distractions is simply missing the bigger MAGAt picture/goal of entirely subverting US democracy.
That’s just bread and circuses.
🙄
You asked for good policies, I gave you good policies. You want to pretend everything MAGA does is bad? Go for it, I’m not stopping you if you don’t care about being accurate.
Yes.
In my world, the preponderance of MAGAt goals are bad so they are ultimately and entirely bad.
You’re simply attempting: “Look, here’s a couple of good things in a big bucket of bad. So obviously they can’t be all bad”.
Definition of bread and circuses.
You might want to leave your world and join the real world back, where not everything is black and white.
Traitors. Remember their names and primary them as soon as possible!
There have been some discussions this week about AOC running for Senate to take Schumer’s seat, however 2028 is a long time away.
We won’t make it to then.
Maybe there will be enough support to replace Schumer as the Democratic Senate leader?
Hopefully. But the damage is still done.
There will be another budget vote in September
I don’t think you realize what this “CR” codifies, this pretty much eliminates congressional oversight of the executive, the future of US democracy now lies with the judiciary.
Anyone who has been relying on guardrails to save us, well the guardrails are gone. Any sliver of ambiguity has vanished, you ARE watching a coup take place in real time.
Did they even ask for anything? Not that they would have gotten it, I just bet they didn’t even ask for anything
No, they didn’t.
Anything I would have to say would get me permanently banned from the site for advocating violence.
Remember, as Napoleon Bonaparte said to Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, “Violence never solved anything.”
I don’t think it’s time for violence. It’s time for new leadership.
Of course it’s not time for violence; violence have never solved anything. Asking nicely and remembering to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ will surely convince them to step down.
You dropped this: “/s”
Oh, no, I would never be sarcastic about that. Being sarcastic would mean that I was condoning violence directed at democratically elected officials that are surely doing what the people want and expect them to do, and are fulfilling their duty to the country and constitution.
Don’t forget to say “pwease” and “tank you”! At this point, I’m shocked but not surprised that the Democrats are just rolling over.
Big GOP win.
Big
GOPcorporate sex worker win.That’s an insult to sex workers.
