"The hostage that's worth ransoming"
Mitch McConnell said this about the 2011 debt ceiling crisis. Not behind closed doors - he said it publicly.
This one quote explains 30 years of American politics.

This is not helpful right now. We are in triage, folks. We need to get the fascists and narcissists out of politics. I would vote, across the board, for any Democratic candidate for any conceivable position in our government at this moment. Because the alternative is unconscionable.
Face it,the Democratic party is compromised by corporate interests.
Time to do a deep cleaning and pay attention to who you send to congress.
That is, of course, considering we are even able to vote in elections or even elections that aren't corrupted by the facsist agenda.

For all those who kept insisting that everyone was overreacting, comparing the abortion fight to the Handmaid's Tale, saying that it was becoming real..... well, here you go. This is literally how the story starts.
Join NFHA & @warren.senate.gov in sounding the alarm on the Trump Admin's plan to gut the law that gave women access to credit without the need of a male co-signer. This Admin is trying to set us back generations. We only have until 12/15 to act. Make your voice heard: bit.ly/4pwy1aD.

Does.....does he think there are still cowboys driving cattle across the plains? And, of course, the cows are diseased because they're from South America. The racism never stops.
Scott Bessent’s claim that beef prices are high because immigrants from South America are bringing their cattle with them across the border, and those cattle are “infected with diseases”isn’t just false. It isn’t just ignorant.
‘Can’t Be Serious’: Trump Official Roasted for Bizarre Take That Migrants Bringing Cattle With Them Are to Blame for Higher Beef Prices
Scott Bessent made a bizarre claim on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo that proved to be a head-scratcher for some on social media.

Once again, leadership blinked. Eight Democrats crossed the line and handed Republicans the leverage they engineered through crisis.
This isn’t compromise. It’s hostage politics masquerading as governance.

The Senate on Sunday night took the first step toward ending the longest shutdown in U.S. history, after a group of Democrats broke their party’s blockade and voted with Republicans to advance legislation to reopen the government.
Senate Moves Toward Ending Shutdown After Democratic Defectors Relent
A small but critical group of Democrats backed legislation to fund the government, providing the votes to move forward with a spending package that would end the shutdown in coming days.

Only 6 months? I think you're underestimating conspiracy brain.
So are Republicans in Congress going to finally wake the fuck up to reality or are we going to have to listen to them lie about voter fraud for the next six months?

Forcing leaders to resign over disagreement undermines military strength. True honor is exercising judgment and raising concerns-not blindly following orders. Silencing dissent erodes trust, morale, and readiness.
