Gas on the fire; tar and feathers…tomaytoe/tomahtoe.

Part of me wants it to continue, if that’s what it takes to break up the cult.

I hear ya. We probably have to hit rock bottom before we can heal and leave it behind forever.

Thanks for reminding me to call Russia Ron again on the slim chance he's not in on the coup.🤷🏻‍♂️

fbaranow.bsky.social•5 days ago

Agreed.
Call your US Representative and/or Senators and demand that Congress do their duty to the US Constitution by taking their power back and checking Tяump on his damaging tariffs.
An (-11.72%) drop in the US Markets in 5 days is unacceptable.
Let’s go people!!!

👍 done

We only need 4 !!

Especially since I am reading Mikey is trying to pass ... the budget that would turn this into Great Depression 2.0 from the Senate (and apparently there are screaming matches inside the caucus room) ...

My congressman had a telephone town hall last night and the only way to ask a question was to have it approved by his staff. And there was a delay so no sneaking in questions. He's super happy with how things are going. That's Cory Mills, the guy who beats up his mistress.

brewtowne.bsky.social•5 days ago

Profiles in cowardice...🤦🏻‍♂️

seawitch1031.bsky.social•5 days ago

My 22 yo daughter wanted to ask a question and as we listened to the rules she was so furious she hung up the phone. The one question I heard was from someone who did nothing but praise Trump and his policies.

brewtowne.bsky.social•5 days ago

Kudos for trying and involving your kiddo... we'll need them.✌🏻

brewtowne.bsky.social•5 days ago

Preety sure those calls are pre-screened to appease the rubes.✌🏻

IMHO, SCREAM at them! Tell them you're losing your savings and our democracy. Don't lay the blame on Trump and Musk, put it on THEM! When they fear us more than MAGA, only then will they take action.

I tried calling both the Washington and local offices of my Republican representative earlier today. Just filled voicemail box messages on both numbers. Maybe the office staff was busy buying stocks before the announcement of the 90 day pause?

mangycoyote.bsky.social•5 days ago

You mean this guy?

colettect.bsky.social•5 days ago

You will always get his voicemail. I have every time I've called since 2013. Get your thoughts on record!

mangycoyote.bsky.social•5 days ago

Algorithms control much of this now and bots are making calls, too.
The protests are way more effective.

colettect.bsky.social•5 days ago

I had no idea! Anything to make protests more effective is excellent news, thanks!

kevinmkruse.bsky.social•5 days ago

He's already come out denouncing the tariffs! Tell him to keep at it

3fecta.bsky.social•5 days ago

Thom Tillis was threatening to choke people out and strangle them over tariffs. So yup some of them can be moved on this issue.

mangycoyote.bsky.social•5 days ago

He is still a coward and a fool.
“He added that he does not believe that blame would fall on Trump or Vice President JD Vance for the decision.”

This Janus? He is for the tariffs and against them. He mentions the Big 3 auto makers without discussing the impact on Toyota who has a massive plant in San Antonio and corporate headquarters in Plano.

They ceded power over tarriffs. They've fully signed off on all of this.

Pretty sure Rick Scott is taking full advantage of this situation for his own personal benefit, because committing fraud and theft is the only reason he’s in office to begin with.

Ashley Moody, Florida’s biggest disappointment, is waiting for her Republican daddies to tell her what to do.

celeste088.bsky.social•4 days ago

it's so frustrating to have these two as senators - and elections not until 2028. Scott's going to ride off into the sunset after collecting his share of the loot.

In Ohio they don’t answer the phone & most of them have full mailboxes or just don’t take messages. They’ll gladly show up to plated dinner fundraisers with their affluent flunkies though.

feduprepublican.bsky.social•5 days ago

Called mine this morning. Apologized to Tom Cole's aide who answered the phone, telling him I had a rant coming.

Calls to Mullin and Lankford went to voicemail.

annala2.bsky.social•5 days ago

Every day. Usually multiple times. For the past two months.

stuckyparty.bsky.social•4 days ago

That was literally my sign at the protest last weekend, the polite man at my rep's office is sick of hearing from me

incandenzak.bsky.social•4 days ago

Apparently they can't, and will make it illegal to try
