53. I'm amazed how many on here react to fake news as if it were true
Sun Nov 9, 2025, 10:32 PM
Sunday

Jon Ossoff (up next year, not 2028) and Mark Kelly voted no, but were immediately savaged on this thread for voting yes. No apologies or corrections from the ones with the angriest comments against them. I have mentioned DU to both of them. No wonder they stay away.

Anyone can make a mistake, but the difference between us and the Foxsuckers should be that we rectify and apologize, where they do not.
