      Could you imagine having any amount of real power in this world, and the extent to which you are willing to exercise it, is by whining?

        He’s literally investigating Thomas while also trying to pass binding ethics rules on SCOTUS. The article is him saying that Thomas’ sudden late disclosures aren’t going to stop his investigation or attempts to impose ethics requirements.

      Ah yes but my audience responds to nothing but rage any more, so here we are. What’s an author to do?

        I was going to correct you and say Republican propaganda, but upon further consideration, I remembered they’re the same thing

          He’s just a troll bashing out in all directions. Mildly interesting a month ago he posted ‘how do I get followers?’. I will assume he is still wondering why no one follows with his clever comments.

            No I am not and both sides take large sums of money from large corporations. So am not wrong. I am 100% a Bernie Sanders Democrat so definitely not no Republican.

            Yall want to vote blue no matter who and think the Democrats will save you go ahead. My eyes are open and until we get rank choice voting so we can have more than one conservative party this shit going just get worse.

            Biden isn’t a leftist. He fit right in with the Republicans of Regans era.

              What would you like democrats to do? I’m asking honestly. They have a minority in the house and the slimmest of slim majorities in the Senate. I agree they won’t do anything, because politically they cannot. Your remarks come off as if they are too pussy to do anything, and that’s not the case in my opinion.

                So guess they should just sit on their hands that apparently ok to you. Republicans have fucking minority and they still get shit done. That a cop out and you know it.

              I’m not American so not in the y’all you are referring to. The American political system is broken and I can’t see how it can be repaired. It’s fascinating from the outside and I imagine tragic if you have to live with it. I read through your history and you are a troll whether you realize it or not. If you have something to say and for whatever reason wants followers then clean up your language, have some consistency in you posts and comments and an understandable message. Even better, if your eyes are open present your solutions, right know you just sound as the ‘do your own research’ crowd.

              Bernie Sanders isn’t a Democrat, except for a few months every 4 years when he pretends he is and acts confused why the rest of the party doesn’t buy it

        Do what? They called him out oh I didn’t know that was fixing the issue/s.

        Please until I see them putting forth a bill to vote on (doesn’t matter if all Republicans vote against) long as all Democrats vote to remove him and the rest of courptiion then its all just talk.

        Actions speak louder than words.

          They can’t even get a bill like what you are suggesting through Committee let alone to a vote on the floor. I commented earlier to you, but my question is the same. What do you really expect given the current makeup of Congress? About all Democrats can do right now is speak out against it and try to sway public opinion.

        So is a few other progressive but the key Democrats that hold real power are right leaning conservative when it comes to the working class and most of Washington is corrupt from large corporations making them wealthy.
