I feel like they’ve stolen an opportunity from us to act as our better selves to those in need. But, what the hell—do it anyway. WITHOUT them.

People are going to be hurting and struggling because of what the Dems just did. Please consider stepping up like it’s the 1930s and we’re pulling together.

I think I finally know what’s pissed me off so much. Yes, it was sucking with the shutdown and the naked cruelty, but America had started to move & pull together like we did during the darkest days of the Great Depression. We were starting to work together WITHOUT them. They stole that from us.

One of Durbin’s best friends in Congress was the late, great Rep. John Dingell. I think Dingell’s courage gave Durbin courage. A reminder to @durbin.senate.gov —John died on his feet fighting for public lands, seniors, & all of us. While cancer was killing him. To the end. He would be so ashamed.

It’s a Beltway thing. These clowns have no idea how angry people outside the Beltway are.

It’s Roger “Teeth” Marshall. Kansas should come pick up their trash.

And Mel Brooks was really on to something:

Even a quarter-wit would know that Johnson will never bring it up in the House first. Sweet cheeses—was there a gas leak in there—or do they not remember how the legislative process works because they’re all so fucking old???

But this would be an awesome opportunity for a smooth talker to convince him single payer is the way to go.

My people!

Because her fuck buddy is there. He’s married so I won’t insult his wife by calling him her boyfriend.

The coming crash will make the Great Depression and the 2008 Mortgage Crisis look like cake walks.

The rich will not survive it. A Huey Long style progressive will rise and wipe them out. They’ll be begging for an FDR.
