Durbin and Peters aren’t running for reelection. They’re about to sell us out and skip towards retirement without ever experiencing the consequences.

Senator Durbin’s offices don’t allow voicemail. He will not take our calls but perhaps he’ll take yours, governor?

The NFL really made a choice to show grandpa‘s asshole and his dumb nephew during a prime time football game in which both city’s teams hate their guts.

Oh, I did. My irritation is that the telephone remains the most direct way to reach our elected officials and how older folks prefer to do it. Disabling that option is a show of contempt whether intentional or not.

Durbin and Peters, two of his colleagues supposedly working on folding, aren’t running for reelection. They will suffer no consequences. Ugh. And for my Illinois peeps don’t bother trying to call Durbin. Neither of his offices will allow voicemails.

Durbin isn’t running for reelection, so he doesn‘t 1) give a damn about selling us out nor 2) allow voters to leave a goddamned voice mail with his offices.

I can tell everyone what a specific senator is NOT doing tonight: allowing Illinois voters to leave a goddamn voicemail!

Senators Durbin and Peters aren’t even running for reelection. They could sell us out and skip away towards retirement.

Also, of the two Democratic senators supposedly looking to fold to Republicans, two of them aren’t seeking reelection: Durbin and Peters. So no they do not fear an angry mob.

If I can call both of Dick Durbin’s offices from a fucking weight bench at the gym, then his shit should function at the barest minimum by letting me leave a voicemail. Business hours my ass. ARRGH.

Yeah. Target executives might have seen the new show “Pluribus” and thought that their employees behaving like aliens was exactly the right corporate strategy.
