Well of course, because everyone (except Donald Trump*) absolutely loves puppies!

*NBC reality show TV star; adjudicated rapist; convicted felon; twice elected POTUS

Gazpacho police have been notified, and naked pictures of the last Democratic president's children will be shown by the GOP until the "wOkE SoCiALisT RaDiCaL lEfT dEeP sTaTe" complies.

Well, "suckers and losers" and all that...

Again, not "CoLLaBoRaTeD." 🙄
Dem. senators simply voted to keep the U.S.A. functional & to retain public oversight.
Had the GOP majority failed in the lower chamber, the situation would have been quite different.
GOP wants to "dRoWn gOvT iN tHe BaThTuB"
Schumer prevented that.
It was the right call.

Executive Orders *are* technically "Law," (in a legal sense) but you're right that they don't carry the same weight as Legislation passed by Congress.
The difference between "EOs" and "Laws" is nuanced.
Legal battles over Trump's silly P2025 EOs (not even written by him) are really just beginning.

Knock yourself out. 🙂
George, along with many others,*IS* being hyperbolic.
Calling Democratic U.S. representatives "traitor" or "conspirator" literally for attempting to do their job publicly & in good faith is hyperbole.

If you want to take pointless, arbitrary offense from that... you do you.

Not remotely that simple. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
And y'know... all this sudden social media yelling to shut the U.S.A. down entirely (thereby giving ALL current power over to Elon Musk) is suspiciously in line with current Russian influence.

Россия без Путина. Ответьте или поставьте лайк, если согласны!

No, he didn't.
You're simply CLAIMING he did -- and you're doing so without actually acknowledging *any* nuance, *any* other actors, or *any* intent.

But yes, you can be angry at everything that lives and breathes if you like...
Go ahead.
Call everyone "evil."
¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
There.
Did it help?

People's hyperbole is out of hand.
There's a very real chance Schumer just saved America.
Regardless, people's rage and ire should not be directed at Schumer for TRYING to keep Govt. functioning...
The GOP's been trying to "drown it in the bathtub" for 50+ years.
Maybe be mad at THEM for a change?

I expect Schumer is right.
As for explaining...
The people who really need it explained are primarily conspiracy nuts who helped elect Trump in the first place because "ScReW tHe DeMoCrATiC eStAbLiShMeNt" or "OuR rEvOLuTiOn" and "bErNiE wAs SeCrEtLy RoBbEd" etc.
It's tough.
They tend not to learn.

Coincidentally, this is also the difference between *ANY* era (at least in the last fifty years) of Republicans and Democrats.

(And pointed risk-aversion looks a lot more sensible when you compare "random acts of violent domestic terrorism" with "simply trying to not catch mutated-SARS again"...)

Seriously, if you want to go complain to Steve Buscemi that he isn't dOiNg EnOuGh To StOp TrUmP, be my guest - but understand that makes **JUST** as much sense as blaming Socialists, Greens, Black Panthers, or Democrats.

Stop whining.
Your beef is with the GOP.
(And leave Steve Buscemi alone.)

No, they can't, and anyway - that's purely the *Republican* goal.
Shutting Govt. down ("drowning it in the bathtub") is literally the whole Republican Party agenda.

All this being mad at Democrats for "nOt bEiNg GOP eNoUgH" is like being mad at librarians for not burning down the library.

A lot of people here apparently just not understanding that the Democratic Party was voted entirely out of power.

Democrats do not currently have any majority.
They don't control *any* part of Federal Government.

Whining that "tHe DeMoCrATs ArEn'T dOiNg AnYtHiNg" is as stupid as it is pointless.

A good portion of America *DID* see it coming.
The American Democratic Party's 2016 Nominee for President certainly saw it coming, and tried to warn everyone.
(She's due an apology. Especially from anyone who bought into the disingenuous ratfuckery conspiracy-nonsense about her candidacy.)

He shoved (technically assaulted) a world leader from behind...
youtu.be/vIdrTSjzGKY?...
He snapped and threw his food...
youtu.be/jFYZkkPaM5A?...
And he's an adjudicated rapist:
youtu.be/Z8CmBcr1ock?...
He's not a "pacifist," he's an impulsive and violence-prone hothead.

We're supposed to call them "fReEdOm fRiEs" though.
Remember, the GOP insisted on that -- also in complete sincerity.
