And just to be obvious, if this isn’t the moment to use every parliamentary procedure possible to hold the legislative branch hostage until the executive branch is brought under control, then there is no point to having a legislature at all

They ALL need to be recalled and the seats refilled, after we disallow conflicts of interest (investments mostly), lobbying, and political contributions over a small base amount.
Exactly. When people realize this, we will be in for a very rough ride as the only solution never works out well short term for anyone but weapons manufacturers.
This is why i am so angry about the Americans not revolting to stop the country. There are people dying cause of all that garbage, and that should somehow not be motivation enough to go on rage? Americans were so normalized to see their own dying.
Right now, most people still have jobs & families. They fear prison & death. Once most people have absolutely nothing to lose, they'll start blowing shit up.
I hope when I die, it's not for absolutely nothing. I want my death to mean something.
And I hate far more people than I like. Pretty much everyone who lives in the U.S. I'm so filled with hate & rage that I can't feel anything else. I rarely laugh anymore. If I didn't have a husband & pets, I'd have kms months ago.
We don't have a legislature. We have R sycophants & D incompetents who pretend to work in our interests. In reality, they work in their own interests. They pretend to care abt us only to protect their powerful, well-paid positions - complete w/cushy dining rooms, extravagant trips & elevated status.
I agree w/ slowing legislation down, but I have never understood this response. McConnell said he’d stop Obama/Biden from doing anything, yet the bulk of their nominees were voted through and UCed multiple times. And judges sailed through. I think people ascribe power to McConnell he did not use.
I think people took the single example of him stopping Obama’s nominee, not realizing that he literally had a senate majority at the time and was fully able to do so, and extrapolate that onto Democrats, who very much do not have a majority.
No, the filibuster was used to extreme effect through the years that Democrats had a majority. For example, Pelosi’s House majority got 400 bills through to the Senate, but barely a handful made it to Obama’s desk.
Absolutely. Hell, Pelosi got public option through the House. I think I get irritated when people use the McConnell example stretching back to the cabinet, nominees, etc. rather than legislation. Although Senate Dems this session managed to nix the abortion nightmare bill.
They are doing the best they can. We fucked them in Nov. 90 million unAmericans stayed home and shitheel gaza protest voters protest voted. Our legislature is doing what they can with the fucking nothing we gave them. Shame on you who fucked us. Shame on you.
Congress can put stop to executive orders. Isn’t that right? I thought I read where they had done it once so far. And that confused me as to why they are not doing more! Especially when the Confederacy of dunces are destroying democracy through non-legally binding executive orders. right?
Somehow Mitch McConnell shut everything down while Minority Leader. But @chuckschumer.com has decided to suck Trumps dick rather than fight the Furher destroying the country.
Nah, that requires an insane level of preparation and stamina. The effort only looked easy because Booker did a ton of work to make it possible. Staying on your feet for 24 hours with no sleep, no food, minimal water, no bathroom breaks, while speaking almost continuously is actually torture
There has to be more Senators that could do it for at least a few hours to slow things down. If every Dem Senator did it over and over, corrupt laws would slow down.
Unfortunately not breaking any laws is no protection from the weight of the US govt coming down on you.
Anyone can be disappeared and sent to a black site, many of which are in the US. We avoid here because in the US, someone could sue for their freedom in the jurisdiction they were picked up in.
Then that means the Heritage foundation must be destroyed and everyone involved barred from holding public office. Arresting them isn't viable they have a right to be stupid but preventing their rot from destroying us is reasonable.
The blood will flow very soon. The GQP fully intend to start killing us all. I want to get hold of an overdose of fentanyl in case of capture or disease. There are bridges nearby, but what if I can't make it in time?

Now isn't the time for cozy Members' Clubs
Nobody should be comfortable with this
It’s odd
Most other Americans will be murdered, too. They're just in denial about it.
Right now, most people still have jobs & families. They fear prison & death. Once most people have absolutely nothing to lose, they'll start blowing shit up.

The bill is to not allow a president to collect taxes - tariffs - bc per the US CONSTITUTION, collecting taxes is not the president's job.
It's the Congress' job.

WTF Congress.

It's time to be creative. Stop the haemorrhage
Project 2025 must be destroyed. Demolished. Wiped from the face of the earth.
"He who acts to save his country from tyranny, domestic terrorism, Project 2025, and radical right wing criminals, violates no laws.”

The devil comes wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross
How should we fool ourselves this time into believing Dark Money Democrats will do anything else.
