It’s dry. Use the powder. It’s dry. Use the powder. It’s dry. Use the powder. It’s dry. Use the powder. It’s dry. Use the powder. It’s dry. Use the powder. It’s dry. Use the powder. It’s dry. Use the powder. Until chucklenuts is out of office and in jail, where traitors now go.

It has been weaponized against deep blue strongholds across the country while the MAGA base cheers. To Jeffries and Schumer, explain to us why we’re supposed to fund a party that is not committing to doing the utmost to protect its own voters?

Shooting themselves in the foot every step of the way.

Thanks Kentuck for saying what needs to be said loud and clear.

I cackle at the posters who continually defend what's happened and the lack of response. Some seem to have a specific agenda, and it shows.

Whatever? I posted a clip of Jeffries non answer to a direct question from a reporter to support my contention. I don't know if he just totally missed the point or his intention was to disrupt. I never engage in these situations.

n/t

Do your fucking jobs!

and then there are the others. But I'm glad to see at least a few Repugs (although they are the ones leaving) standing up and saying "Enough!"

They would renounce their Republican affiliation and caucus with us giving us control of both houses to whip this shit in order.

that republicans in congress will agree to?

I can't stand when "congress" gets blamed for specifically republican failures. The blame goes to republicans and voters who elect them.

AOC and Crocket are doing this. If leadership decided to lead, there would be a lot more narrative framing. There isn’t. “Oh but the media…”. Bullshit. Make noise. Tour the country. Campaign mode permanently on.

what else that will actually accomplish something?

..and there was no one there...

and not do anything that’s actually effective.

It's called knowing how to communicate with integrity, conviction and moral clarity. Schumer and Jeffries don't have it in them.

with effective actions. Performance act just for the sake of performance act is just a feel good exercise that actually doesn't help anyone.

THAT doesn't help anything except maintain the status quo, which is, at this point, unacceptable and inexcusable.

I just prefer actions that actually help people than feel good performance art that helps no one

Keep on making them, and we'll remain in the shit that we're in.

There is more to resistance than just shouting louder than the other side.

But it still needs to be combined with effective actions. Otherwise it's just a feel good exercise.

when one demands that the Dems do something. Leadership may want to take a page out of Sen. Chris Murphy's book. He knows how to communicate with passion. Schumer and Jeffries do not. They are terribly weak.

“Step up, or step aside!”

Simple message, five words. Very direct, and to the point.

Where is the COORDINATED message - the coordinated press conferences - the coordinated plan? I see some governors directly affected speaking out. I see some Democratic senators and some Democratic representatives. I see zero coordinated effort by the DNC, the DGA, the DCC etc.

value is that they firmly believe in shirking their duties and avoiding responsibility for anything. They could have stopped Cheeto any day. Executive orders are daily occurrence but that was never meant to be the norm. The GOP is in charge of the legislative branch but passing laws requires votes and sticking one’s head out. They will never do that because it will involve the GOP being responsible. They LIKE what Trump is doing and they get the policy without any cost to them. He is the perfect GOP President.

Don’t look for a profile in courage because, in the words of Harrison Ford to Mark Hamill “Hey kid, it ain't that kind of movie.”

They aren't "not doing their job". This is EXACTLY what the GQP intended. They don't now, and never have given a crap about an oath. The Democrats can scream until their heads explode, but as long as the GQP owns Congress, the WH and the SCOTUS, they are not going to change path.

WE are the ones WE are looking for. General strike now.

And boy-oh-boy is THAT ever true.

We can wait around for who-knows-how-long for someone or something to come and rescue us.

OR we can focus together and rescue OURSELVES.

Nothing more than a purity test.

What the hell is going on? It's their job to keep us safe. If they can't do their job, then fire them and bring in the National Guard.

Spot on. Absolutely correct. No excuse for it not happening. Enough of the bullshit. End of understanding. Now or never.

...but to the traitorous Republicans in Washington.

However, the oath does apply to all of them. They all are responsible for defending our Constitution.

But, I think we can all agree, it is not the Democrats that are threatening our rights and freedoms, and our lives, at this time in our history.

If you look at the decisions being made by our current administration and compare to the surviving diaries of those in charge in Berlin in late April of 1945 there are some surprising similarities. History may not repeat itself but it does ryme, they say. Of course taking into account the current TACO factor we may be in for an extended final chapter. I hope the article I people are paying attention.

And they don't want us to do it for them.

The oath is the most important of the Constitution.

and they are doing nothing to show leadership.

A dead woman was called a fucking bitch after she was shot in the face three times by a government employee. They are entering homes without warrants and tasing people.

Police are turning their backs on people begging for help.

Instead of striking while the iron is hot, our leaders again are pouring cold water on our outrage.

Jeffries and Schumer will not step aside but they need to stand back and let the rank file dems take their place on the talk shows.

If your Democratic (or Republican) representative is not on this list, then we should give them a piece of our mind!

Or AOC and Jerry Nadler?

....in addition to posting here, then they won't know what you've got to say.

And I’m confounded and disappointed more of them fail to become inspired.

Is AOC the only one in Congress with the guts to speak out?

on the list of reps calling for noem's impeachment.

the congress critters and Senators are gonna be out of jobs anyway........(There is NO Legislative Branch of Government in a Dictatorship)

(AND, you Supreme Court Justices, there is no Judicial Branch of Government needed in a Dictatorship, you idiots)

Respect it!

Honor your oath!

WE THE PEOPLE are doing our part. We are in the streets. We write and call your offices. We are tired. DO YOUR JOB!

Due to the "defund" fear card. The blow back is coming but it will be too little too late. This shit is historic.

They think it shows strength. So what if people are murdered and lives destroyed?
It’s not THEIR lives. Not THEIR families. That’s all that matters.
To bully, murder and destroy other people is something to hold with great pride.
