Good morning friends.

I don’t think we have to choose. It’s both.

Exactly what I’ve been saying. The narrative on health care once the hikes hit that the Dems caved, not Republicans taking it away. People hate cowards who abandon them more than they hate their direct tormentors. Terrible unforced error by the Dems but then what’s new?

Old Jack Burton ‘ll tell ya it ain’t always the most popular guy who gets the job done.

I feel dumb saying it but honestly surprised and disappointed with Kaine. The other seven are either back benchers or proven dead weight but I really would not have predicted this level of cowardice and incompetence from him.
November 11, 2025 at 1:57 AM
What I’m saying about is I don’t give a shit about that as long as he stands firm and gets the job done. Which he has been.

The Senate is a failed institution and was just a bad idea, a miss by the founders. Thomas Jefferson didn’t think we needed a Senate. He was right.

Yeah?? I don’t. The only way out of this is through it with constant sand in the gears opposition. There is no such thing as “bipartisanship” with an authoritarian movement. And anybody not explicitly anti-Trump will become useful to Trump. Like this.

Exactly. It’s no coincidence that all eight of these gutless wonders are not up for reelection in 2026. It’s purposely naive to believe that there wasn’t coordination between them, Schumer, and the other mediocrities as to who would be public facing for this cave in.

Flippant Hakeem is the best Hakeem.
November 10, 2025 at 5:26 PM
Yeah Roberts is still a fraud. Playing the long con as usual.
November 10, 2025 at 3:55 PM
It is vital that the masses not give these people any more respect than Trump does.
November 10, 2025 at 3:52 PM
No they didn’t. They put Trump in office a second time with his cronies in Congress. Having said that Schumer is no kind of oppo leader and he needs to go.
November 10, 2025 at 2:29 PM
Exactly. Really not seeing the risk in a primary when these seats don’t do us a whole lot of good at this point anyway.
November 10, 2025 at 2:14 PM
Yeah Jeffries may not be the most gifted rhetorically but he’s kept his caucus together twice now whereas Schumer has failed twice
November 10, 2025 at 2:06 PM
What makes this even worse political malpractice is that when the premium hikes do go into effect, the story is going to be how the Dems caved, not the GOP taking away healthcare. People hate cowards who betray worse than their clear tormentors.
November 10, 2025 at 1:33 PM
Exactly, the rot is far deeper than those eight . Schumer needs to go.
November 10, 2025 at 1:10 PM
I believe this rot is far more pervasive than these eight mediocrities. They just fell on the sword because they aren’t up for reelection. Until the voters come to terms with the disdain these people have for them and start taking scalps with primaries nothing will change.
November 10, 2025 at 1:01 PM
I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t even get the vote. Whig is worthless symbolism already.
November 10, 2025 at 12:33 PM
Yep. And honestly, I see very little upside in even having those seats given that we are already in the minority, and they are completely unwilling to use what little leverage we have anyway.
