Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer: “maybe if we’re nice to the Republicans and give them what they want for the 100th time, they won’t be selfish pricks steamrolling convention when it comes to what they want the next time!”

You would think that Nancy Pelosi would have learned by now that when it comes to the republicans turning the other cheek will only get you slapped in the other cheek.
I once believed that people would not willingly commit seppuku on the alter of wanton hedonistic self-serving greed and morally corrupt blatantly obvious racism, xenophobia, misogyny and bigotry by supporting a narcissistic asshat. That narcissistic asshat, who at the time I called Herr Asshat cause he had not yet…
Food for thought. This might be the one night every two years to consider watching Fox News. Only if the House looks like it’s going to flip.
Honestly, watching the GOP spend the last decade doing its best to disenfranchise voters and subvert the democratic process it’s pretty clear that these last several election cycles are illegitimate.
This is not a functioning democracy or democratic republic. Until voting access is easy and not done with the intent to…
I need to be a better citizen and getting there means I’ll listen and consider candidates I haven’t in the past.
If nobody has made a band called “Homo Scoutmasters” yet, it’s an opportunity lost.
It’d be nice if poor or lower-income people could actually run for or hold office. My choice of governors in Illinois this cycle is a billionaire that is actively ruining the state or a billionaire with his family name slapped on half of Chicago seeking to further enrich himself in office. Great choices, Illinois! At…
I’m firmly anti-deity, so that Ohio one makes a lot of good sense to me.
I voted against Pelosi, in CA both options were Democrats and De Leon is a better option I believe. So I’m with you on that.
The rich will fight us tooth and nail to maintain their grip on power. They’ll change allegiances, support the take down of anyone not part of the elite. But there are a hell of a lot more of us than them. Solidarity now and forever.
I’m trying, but the Democratic Socialists of America didn’t run a soil and water conservation district supervisor this year
They only ever pretender to be the party of the former. They’ve been the latter since at least the Southern Strategy
At least we’re not alone in agreeing that it’s a massively expensive waste of time used solely for the political purpose of firing up the Trumpenproletariat prior to the midterms... seems most of the Pentagon has filed this stunt to “Christ, What An Asshole” too,
Don’t forget a much more valid use of government budget than things like helping veterans or funding healthcare/welfare.
The same country that brought you such hits as Security Theatre now presents Military Theatre! Sure, dictatorships worldside have done it before, but now it comes with its own American twist!
They’re... helping install barbed wire & move sandbags around. To block ~1400 people who won’t be here for months. It’s a really effective use of American military resources, don’t you think?
And ISIS. Like, the next time militant terrorists from the Middle East attack America, they’re going to be like, “Well, we got the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, what’s next...How about the Arby’s in Missoula?”
So not only have they been sent there weeks before the “caravan” will even arrive, they’re basically doing fuck all? Based on what Dunford said, the soldiers wouldn’t even need to be armed. There definitely wouldn’t need to be up to 15,000 troops, at a potential cost of up to $300 million.
I love how ‘Mericans in places like Montana and South Carolina are so concerned about the southern border.
