Is someone maintaining a database of the democrats who are fellating the fascists?
I know the other day, Clyburn suggested Biden should pardon trump. Fetterman recently claimed the trump hush money case was BS... Now we have this gem from Blumenthal.
Well now why am I not surprised to see a Democrat standing next to a Republican making like they agree on something. This smacks of something out of wack and smells even worse.
Normally we could wonder if he is in dementia but he is not the only one recently that has leaned in like this since the election. Trump is putting pressure on the Dem senators to confirm his cabinet picks.
All roads lead to Putin. I can t say it any other way because it is a fact and it is a massive one at that. I do hope that it s reveal comes soon even it if it going to be painful to hear. Biden needs to step up to the plate and declare a National Emergency.
The only thing I miss about Twitter is not being able to tell senators like this what I think of them. I know my comments probably only got to the social media intern, but it made me feel better
WTF? Just yesterday I was praising him for standing up to the MAGA cabinet nominees and now he’s standing there with this fascist and drug dealer praising Elmo? I would certainly like to know what tactics orange maga is using to “persuade” these senators
To @SenBlumenthal @SenSchumer @SenateDems @ChrisVanHollen
Has Mr. Blumenthal lost his damn mind?
Musk spent $300 MILLION to buy the 2024 Election
Free speech?
Where? On twitter?
STOP OBEYING IN ADVANCE ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
And here is the problem ALL of them are only concerned with the right now. Blumenthal and brownie points just in case the F Elon wants to cut some of his interests. Goddamn it do what's right and make a stand you pussies.
Um, spearheaded the PACT Act, introduced the Women’s Health Protection Act, has passed bills for veterans mental health, has taken on big pharma, big oil, sued GM for faulty ignitions and has gotten continuous F’s from the NRA. I don’t know why he’s a bootlicking asshole now, you’re wrong otherwise
Never heard that before. I feel my husband who is the same age as I missed out on the civil rights and peace movements. We did graduate from high school in 1976 and that was wonderful.
Is Blumenthal thinking? Does he have a clue?
Clyburn calling on Biden to pardon TRUMP(tm) is beyond the pale.
Schumer the enabler now Minority Leader.
FBI director Wray preemptively steps down.
Spineless and abject toadies buckling under when there's no pressure to do so. The Dems are doomed
Nothing to see here…. Just Dems being Dems. It’s time for those of us that have supported them and carried the water to walk away. I’m sick of being betrayed by cowering Dems.
The Senator should understand the Constitutional definition of "free speech." Private platform owners have the right to (or not) limit what they might deem as disinformation or hate speech.
Elon is for free speech as long as you don't piss him off, or anyone else he likes.
Too many people have been kicked off of X for making fun of him. He's as thin skinned as Trump.
I think this cements my hypothesis that far too many Democrats in Federal office are not capitulating or "obeying in advance", but eagerly falling in line.
I kinda thought Blumenthal was trolling Musk. Maybe my predisposition to be shocked that a Democratic Senator from New England would praise Musk, blocked me from seeing Dick give in to a weird kind of go along to get along
Sure, we don’t have to believe every idea he has is a good idea but if it means keeping a seat blue then I could care less if I disagree with this particular stance.
Kids online safety + Elon Musk = bizarro world - I opted out of reproduction but if I had kids they sure would not be anywhere near Musk or X - that is for sure
The dems are more comfortable revealing their role as authoritarian enablers and democracy sinks now that its all over and the party leaders will never have to contend for power again due to unelectability. Its been like this the whole time except now the mask is no longer needed.
Obviously he was paid a lot of money to say these things. Bought and paid for. They are all going to rob our country bare. The dems are starting to openly chime in now on the heist.
Something very very strange is going on in this country!! Something is not right. I feel like we are living in the Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie.
Fetterman and now this.
Gag. With Dems like this, no wonder it's so difficult for rationality to get traction. (Add Manchin and Synema, who totally screwed the country re: NLRB to the list of folks who harm rather than help. Synema just helps herself; I've never understood Manchin.)
I think he's subtly pushing Elon (The Felon Whisperer) to support a bill by reminding him of his stated positions. Blumenthal probably realizes the Elon is a hypocrite, but is calling him out in public.
I was about to go off in righteous rage but then I looked into it. He’s trying to get a bill passed and is strategically cutting off first amendment naysayers by pointing out that the asshole in question supports the bill
The political system is in rich hands and they are taking this opportunity. The politicians see the gravy boat leaving and are jumping to the side they think will win. These are the weak men we were warned about. Do not despair, get angry and show them who you believe yourself to be by fighting.
When people say “both sides do it” I have argued with them until I’m blue in the face. I see what they mean now. Our Dems (some of them) are following the money. We need new ideas and representatives. This old thinking is going to get us killed.
A working class country being controlled by old stingy rich men who refuse to step down. You guys shouldn’t have 80 year old senators and presidents who are stuck in 1975.
Never thought I would agree with you. Time to rebrand and find common ground like healthcare is a human right, we shouldn’t pay more in taxes than billionaires, and China is not our friend.
We are so screwed! I hope there is a grass roots movement to elect Democrats who will stand up for democracy and truth no matter what comes against it. This ain't it!
What happens when a Dem wins the presidency? The GOP holds a meeting and vow to obstruct every damned thing that Dem president does. They lock arms and never back down.
Their base is overjoyed. Dems could take a lesson.
What a fucking sellout. WTF is going on with all these Democrats? I believe, personally, that Elon Musk is paying all of them off big time. Fuck Musk too.
I always voted for him. He is saying that free speech means that is your right to tell lies. Like when Blumenthal said he that he fought in Vietnam. Lies and 100 approved by him.

I'm sick and stunned.
He's my senator and i thought he was on the right path. Now he's on a slippery slope and I told him so in a letter and a call.
It does make one feel better to do such.
This was when I figured him out.
Look into who exactly he backed and where she got most of her money from.
It ain't from only "dems".

The Democrats are going to back down from everything
Looks like he OD’d
K, my senator needs to disclose where he gets his weed (MA or NY) ... cuz there is NO way he's getting the REALLY potent stuff in CT.
Methinks I need think twice before supporting him in the next election ...
Too many people have been kicked off of X for making fun of him. He's as thin skinned as Trump.
Rich MAGA says, “ I just bought your representative.”
Sure does, it is the way musk can operate a ventriloquist dummy.
If Fetterman being on Truth social means he wins reelection then I say go for it.
The attitude that the if a Dem isn’t left enough we primary is why Dems lose.
Fetterman and now this.
My subject line read: Elon MUSK is NO CHAMPION OF FREE SPEECH.

There's a man with a gun over there.
Telling me I've got to beware.

WHAT A MORON.
I just called and wrote to Blumenthal.
Sick and stunned.

These fucking cowards, obeying in advance, make me want to puke.
The old party is turning it's back on us.
Full stop.
Now this nightmare
What happened?
Billionaires infusing money into the trump campaign and implanting digital fascism
Their base is overjoyed. Dems could take a lesson.
