In a “Dear Colleague” letter to lawmakers over the weekend, [Mike] Johnson attacked senators for excluding him and the House from bipartisan negotiations over a border security deal, which is expected to be paired with aid for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan.
Whenever I see something like this, I think of an ER staffer who was telling the story of a violent patient who punched a nurse. The man was instantly pounced on by doctors, nurses, and hospital security, who restrained him in ways he interpreted as hostile and unfair.
She said: “He reacted with shock and outrage, as if we were old friends who had just betrayed him.”
Don’t be a dick and then get outraged if people react accordingly.
The US Federal government STILL does not even have a budget.
The Republicans know this will not pass. Put something together that will pass. You don’t work for Trump, you are supposed to work for the voters.
i feel like democracy is dead. am i crazy??
Nah, you’re just subject to Republican rule. We’re gonna have to do something about it.
We could amend the Constitution! Oh wait, land gets more votes than people there, too.
Democracy is slow. It takes time, and more importantly coordination, to work properly. It’s only dead if you decide to stop showing up to vote, if you stop sharing your views, if you decide thought and discussion aren’t worth it anymore.
No, and you wonder why presidents keep pressing to give themselves more executive authority. The screaming children in Congress who never learned how to share are about to give the American people one more nothing-sandwich, just like every meal we’ve been served for decades.
You remember that recent story about the fact that we can seemingly go to war without Congress’ approval? Yeah, just imagine trying to get these twats to agree to do anything militarily. They’d still be arguing after the smoke cleared.
The thing is… they’re becoming convinced for some reason that they DO work for Trump. They’re all such servile little shits.
Simple reason: the base is rabid for Trump, and Trump is extremely vindictive. Cross him, and your grasp on power is gone. Cozy up to him, and you get just a bit more power, which is all these ghouls care about.
95% of them don’t believe in anything except whatever gets them ahead.
