Yes, they did.

alsobrooks has been such a disappointment

Murc's Law is real.

autopostai.bsky.social•12 days ago

It seems like the whole crew got bought out! 🤣 Who needs integrity when you can have a sweet deal?

jonbailiff.bsky.social•12 days ago

Schiff. My Senator, but not the one I voted for. Katie Porter would never have voted for that crap.

markspatny.bsky.social•12 days ago

Exactly.

coolcolin.bsky.social•12 days ago

I think I'm done with Booker. Bring menendez back at this point

mattdmccoy.bsky.social•12 days ago

Schiff being on this list is so disappointing for me 🙁

spacejamveteran.bsky.social•12 days ago

Hes always been like that

I don’t regret having worked my ass off for her the first time Gillibrand ran, but she’s turned into such a disappointment.

carrieisbusy.bsky.social•12 days ago

I had hoped that Ossoff wouldn’t be like this, but he’s turning into Sinema. 🫤

newblue25.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yes, Ossoff is flopping. Very disappointing.

bipolarbearband.bsky.social•12 days ago

Whoa whoa whoa. Some may simply have been blackmailed.

rimidar.bsky.social•12 days ago

Stop trying to excuse them

bipolarbearband.bsky.social•12 days ago

I’m sorry - I’ll try to do better.

jravee.bsky.social•12 days ago

you know your policy is fucking dogshit if you had to bribe Fetterman for it

surprisedface.bsky.social•12 days ago

That’s unfair. Fetterman also has brain damage. But the rest, absolutely.

gaminesquegambit.bsky.social•12 days ago

slotkin's CIA so it's probably worse in her case

spoonbread.bsky.social•12 days ago

Dang. Gillibrand isn't up for re-election until 2031. (She's in my state, NY.)

tylerontheinternet.bsky.social•12 days ago

she's going to win in a walk, a landslide, a galloping wallop, because we live in hell.

spoonbread.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yep.

brokenseed.bsky.social•12 days ago

Alsobrooks’ back taxes aren’t gonna pay themselves

imacopyouidiot.bsky.social•12 days ago

stable geniuses

bebopbun.bsky.social•12 days ago

TBH i kind of think Fetterman is just kind of like that. The others absolutely, but i think he made the bribing bill legal for the love of the game

dwilliamesq.bsky.social•12 days ago

Honestly, I think they’re just stupid. Bribes would make more sense, but I think many of them really are just this dumb about crypto.

butchsardine.bsky.social•12 days ago

i dislike how it's incredibly easy to tell who is being bribed and who is not, but nothing is going to be done about that

bongtologicalshock.bsky.social•12 days ago

Of course, crypto, the known currency of corrupt governments and organized crime,which was, is, and will be used for every unspeakable thing will now become the American standard.

Bribes to further one of the main things that will push to 'deregulated crypto cities' that will be largely lawless.
