The phrase "irresponsible" gets thrown around a lot these days. Also "self-destructive." "Politically inept." "What if this thisisfine.gif dog got a taxpayer salary."

Reposted from Brad Johnson

This evening, every Democrat on the Senate Agriculture Committee backed the nomination of MAGA wingnut climate denier Brooke Rollins for Secretary of Agriculture, who admitted to a lack of basic knowledge of the department's workings. Every. Single. One.

I wish I understood what political goal this serves. Are maybe all the ag. Dems afraid they’ll look bad in MAGA country if they step out of line?

brokeshealds.bsky.social•19 days ago

There is no principal they aren't willing to compromise.

bakerblue.bsky.social•19 days ago

Seems so, until the last few weeks, I held a shred of hope-but now, I understand neither the political strategy, nor the abandonment of anything resembling resembling principle..

dankeevy.bsky.social•19 days ago

They're saying that they are waiting for the right pitch to swing at, but their side is fielding. God dammit.

I'm having flashbacks to trusting that Joe Biden was negotiating behind the scenes to get a real ceasefire in Gaza, and just not able to talk about it. It's hard to trust that Dems are being effective behind the scenes.

It is darkly funny to me that Klobuchar is in such a fantasy world of her consultant's making that she really is sticking with the "oh we are fighting back big time and also bipartisanship!" Line

nledit.bsky.social•19 days ago

This is why I'm not a democrat.

nanx11.bsky.social•19 days ago

So disappointing and frustrating. It leaves you feeling helpless to stop the flood of incompetence being voted in to ruin our government and environment.

jhamiltonhatch.bsky.social•19 days ago

This is egregious. Dangerous and infuriating.

delbertgseasons.bsky.social•19 days ago

She really wants her name to live on, like Vidkun Quisling, or Ezekiel Dumbfuck

kficovich.bsky.social•19 days ago

@amyklobuchar.com you really messed up and showed you have no interest in protecting the people

poe08.bsky.social•19 days ago

Sounds like its time to primary every single one of them.

patrickclaybon.bsky.social•19 days ago

Best time would've been long ago, second best is now

nemocookfan.bsky.social•19 days ago

Could it be they think this person is the lesser of evils?

experimental22.bsky.social•19 days ago

Too many congressional Democrats have caved. America is over.

eawinick.bsky.social•19 days ago

Here's an article by Rollins from the Daily Caller entitled "Biden And Harris’ ‘Bold Plan’ Will Usher In Democrat Party Authoritarian Rule"

Takes one to know one, I guess.

Every cynic, every eyeroll, every suspicion about the weird distance of our reps from our reality is correct. We sure seem to have waved our protections since 2001 and never clawed them back

realmaryagnes.bsky.social•19 days ago

😑🙄😔

alissa914.bsky.social•19 days ago

That seems like the plot for Dog Man.

rosemaryd52.bsky.social•19 days ago

Further to my last post I tagged you in, @amyklobuchar.com, when will you be having a townhall in the Twin Cities (I live in Robbinsdale) so that you can face your voters and explain why you are not doing your utmost to push back against the #MuskCoup? My SSN, Social Security and Medicare at stake.

joekatz45.bsky.social•19 days ago

So there's zero-based budgeting. Is there also zero-based incumbency, where we start with the assumption an incumbent should be primaried into oblivion until they prove otherwise?

akarra.bsky.social•19 days ago

i think we're learning something deep about the notion of merit in america. dems are outrageously bad, but i'm going to look at every job posting in a new light after this. some people are not allowed to fail. others?

sofloblue.bsky.social•19 days ago

omg this is why I am not suppose Dems fundraising this year, so far and they seem to be doubling down on stupidity

charleskerins.bsky.social•19 days ago

WTAF?

darthburkie.bsky.social•19 days ago

What, and I can’t stress this enough, THE FUCK

coffinprick.bsky.social•19 days ago

I cannot wrap my head around this.

jetaitkens.bsky.social•19 days ago

And the people who stayed home because they asked why vote because they’re two sides of the same coin are smugly nudging each other and nodding their heads

susanelizabethcox.bsky.social•19 days ago

They need to fight every single one.

hortonsis.bsky.social•19 days ago

Wtf?

anneferaraphotos.bsky.social•19 days ago

I just don’t get it, how did they learn nothing from McConnell

alli-ward.bsky.social•19 days ago

I am normally an Amy Klobuchar girl but ma’am, what the actual fuck?

brokeshealds.bsky.social•19 days ago

I live in MN and she is dead to me now

basketcase4ever99.bsky.social•19 days ago

Clearly she’s a dumbass like the rest.

obijuancolombi.bsky.social•19 days ago

Even that is giving them too much grace. I think the best words for it is "being complicit"

bornmiserable.bsky.social•19 days ago

well it’s just proof that America isn’t a two party system at all, but one single garbage fire entity

tesslecuyer.bsky.social•19 days ago

I want Mitch in 2012 level obstruction. I want dems to shut shit down and walk out to deny quarums.

thesandwichman.bsky.social•19 days ago

Vichy Dems.

cambriaclover.bsky.social•19 days ago

Are you freaking kidding me...?

thunderhawk13.bsky.social•19 days ago

They’re gutless feckless losers

sailorjourno.bsky.social•19 days ago

At this point, I'm beginning to think Dems have been masters at performative Dem-ing and have been colluding with the Nazis the entire time.

mkranz.bsky.social•19 days ago

They don’t say “liberals are the midwives of fascism” for nothing

feminomenom.bsky.social•19 days ago

WTF? How could any Democrat vote for anybody on a committee? Who doesn’t know anything about what he supposed to do? What the fuck is wrong with everybody?
