I just wonder if there is any intention behind this lack of resistance, awaiting the failure and demise of these new appointees, so that the stupid half of the American electorate will come to realize that putting buffoons in power hurts everyone.
there are some procedural steps they could take but at the end of the day, the american people gave trump a trifecta and are bearing the consequences of that
People not realizing that Tuberville's infamous Senate hold was a specific tactic that is only applicable when the body is trying to move hundreds of items at once has done a non-negligible amount of damage to the online discourse surrounding cabinet appointments.
Democrats could have done the dance of the seven veils for 24 hours straight and the same "they should have" social media harpies will still bitch and moan. It's what they do because it's all they do.
This is an absolute disaster for America, and for Americans, and it sucks that we can't do anything to stop it. There's a party that is animated by the death drive and they got voted into power.
Remember when they said the ACA would create death panels? I think about it every day and they dismantle the entire structure that keeps people from dying from preventable diseases.
Yeah I mean we're ALL reeling a bit. There was a brief optimistic moment after Gaetz faceplanted out of the gate. I really didn't think they could get ALL of Hegseth/Gabbard/Patel/Kennedy through.
But since it looks like it's happening, you can't help wanting to scream about how SURELY THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE STOPPED THIS because whatever we tried didn't work. But the bitter truth is there probably wasn't really anything.

If there can't be practical action, I would still want spectacle to gather support.

All those people who stayed home because of Gaza really screwed the rest of us.
