I know it‘s silly, naive and a bit Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, particularly from one who worked on the Hill & in politics for decades. But, it truly upsets me that every cabinet secretary & department has a primary goal of promoting & protecting Trump, not the country. Unpatriotic and just wrong.🍸

What a strange (and somewhat revolting) hill to die on. Not sure where your definition comes from. Luckily, most of the world disagrees with you. Morally, definitionally and legally (internationally, as well) you are incorrect. I attached a few examples. Best of luck to you.🍸

Moulton and Tlaib. Imagine my surprise. Two of the loudest voices to remove Speaker Pelosi. Moulton in 2018 right *after* Pelosi and the DCCC led the charge flipping 40+ seats red to blue thus winning back the House.🤣🤣

AOC was *never* up for Jeffries’ position. Best I can believe is that you are confusing it with Oversight. Which has zero to do with Jeffries. The GND rollout was awful. Early draft accidentally released with jokes about farting cows, lol. And it was a toothless resolution, not even a bill. Also:

Who said that? Hillary warned people directly. Biden warned us. MVP and her campaign warned us in every stump speech. Hell, her campaign literally flew planes with banners over football stadiums tying Trump to Project 2025. Trump *told* us what he planned. Yet certain factions still ignored it.

I was not thrilled with her during the Biden/MVP decision process, but I believe she was the most effective Speaker of all time & her skills at fundraising, vote counting, controlling the caucus, willingness to take the hits & be boogeyman for both the GOP and her own party will never be matched.🍸

Good God, you are arguing with bumper sticker level nonsense. Almost all candidates supported, and even sponsored, *multiple* plans. An example from 2020.

As an added note, my Rep has been doing this for months.He also helped organize a job/health/food assistance fair for fed workers months ago. I know people focus on the very online show ponies, but the Dems also have a deep bench of workhorses who aren’t big on internet clapback.😇

I think enough people have addressed the tattoo issue, but some of the posts made that disturbed me the most are attached. Looking at the dates, these are made from a grown man in his late 20s and 30s, not some, trying to be edgy, teen.

This was supposedly one of the questions from the “poll”. So, I am not going to place any weight on its validity.🤣

Not sure what this is, because birds freak me out, but I woke up to this looking down at me from my skylight recently.😳

Good Lord on the responses. He has been hammering Trump for months, doing interviews and press conferences constantly, he did what he said he was going to do on schedule for what he said, held together the caucus, yet people are *still* complaining. Almost like they never actually cared.🤣🤣

I don’t disagree. But, what does that have to do with a huge tattoo this man (and military history buff) has? His own political director resigned over it.

An exchange requires things to be…exchanged. Oddly, the things do not have to happen at the exact same time. It was a deal. You are simply not being honest about this. Why?

It was absolutely an exchange. Not sure why you are burying it. i get disagreeing with the decision, but sticking with facts matters.

Ok, I am not going to relitigate this, but let’s be clear that Lamb was not supporting *single payer* notably M4All. Just as many countries use hybrid versions of universal care, so do many, even progressive, Dems. That is not far right, at all. Best of luck to you.🍸

I fear that once baseball season is over, I might get even crabbier…if that is possible. In Broadway terms, although I am younger than both, I think I have moved beyond La LuPone snark straight into my Elaine Stritch years.🍸🍸🍸

No clue how this addresses what I asked or said or what i was addressing. I can give you hundreds of charts backing this up. But, I do take full issue with comments about MVP shitting on or ignoring the “base” because she did a few events with Cheney. Just silly.
