Would she have called Trump “President Hot Wheels”? No. It’s clearly an ableist insult. Fuck her.

Sure, MAGA are raging hypocrites, but that’s not news. And it certainly doesn’t take away from the fact that Crockett is an ableist piece of shit.

Jeanne Shaheen already announced that she’s not running for reelection…and she STILL voted for the CR. Not to mention that 4 of the other Dems are from the bluest of states.

What fucking bullshit.

The best argument I’ve heard against Dems filibustering the CR is that a filibuster would mean that they would - in the eyes of the public - take responsibility for the shutdown, and that the public would blame them for EVERYTHING wrong with the country now, including all of the Trump/Musk messes.

Which is insane to me. Allowing the CR to go through would cause much more direct harm, show that the Dems don’t really care about opposing this insanity, and - if we’re worried about PR - allow the GOP to blame future problems on Biden since they’re marketing the CR as a continuation of Biden’s budget when it’s really nothing of the sort.

This is precisely the time to use the filibuster. If the GOP wants to remove it, let them. They’ll own it, and if the Dems ever get back into power, it’ll help them tremendously.

I mean, it’s the logical consequence of their argument that abortion is murder. This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, and it’s why Dobbs was so disturbing.

Unfortunately, most people just didn’t give a damn.

Hillbilly Hypocrite

Susan Collins is very concerned.

Good thing egg prices are down!

Implying he had a spine in the first place.

Absolutely disgusting, and an utter disgrace. And, sadly, not surprising in the slightest.

Bastards.

If only there was someone who was running for President who was on a major party ticket and had an agenda that - for the most part - was supported by the majority of Americans.

Yes, but Joe Biden had a raspy voice, and Kamala laughs weird.

Normally I’d be OK with the leopards eating their faces. But the problem is that these anti-vax fuckers are going to condemn ALL of us to a disease-ridden dystopian future if they fuck with our herd immunity.

After ruining the country and leaving the future in darkness. What a legacy!

It’s not just Trump and Musk. Remember, there are two supposedly co-equal branches of government that could step in here.

The entire Republican party is complicit in this.

It’s worrying that this isn’t as high on Lemmy (or Reddit) as it should be. We all knew this was going to happen, but still, isn’t this more important than articles about Trump’s humiliation?

I mean, I get it, there’s some serious schadenfreude there, but as with last time around, Trump’s clown antics are distracting from the serious damage that’s going on directly behind him.

She is very concerned.

The Art of the Deal!

Reminds me of that All In The Family episode where Archie Bunker gets pissed after church because the sermon was “socialist propaganda.”
