Dems should be voting against every single trump appointment because of what he's doing with the DOJ, Inspectors general, deportation etc etc etc. But they're acting like doormats and putting up for protest.

Democrats are pathetic. They lack everything needed to fight against this administration. Or probably more likely, enjoy the benefits of being a representative and keeping status quo.

lilana.bsky.social•67 days ago

So what you’re saying is, Republicans just gleefully installed a gay Soros guy? I see. I’m sure all the MAGAs will be delighted once this dribbles back to them on Rumble.

jmatenaer.bsky.social•67 days ago

Doesn't he owe back taxes?

canadianbacon66.bsky.social•67 days ago

Well that makes up for everything !

Ernst Röhm.

jpevansofrocks.bsky.social•67 days ago

Only 29 dems voted against a tax cheat. Why tf did I help you get elected, dem senators?

whiskey-chaser.bsky.social•67 days ago

there is a non-zero chance that Trump is just now finding out that his nominee is gay.

patpwm.bsky.social•67 days ago

I bet he never rides the can’t nuke us all plane.

rainbowdefender1.bsky.social•67 days ago

Gee, what do you think his litmus test was?

Do you support DEI? Answer: NO.
OK. You've got the job.

mistere11.bsky.social•67 days ago

Every single dem that votes in favor of these fascist psychopaths needs to be primaried and removed from the Democratic party

sgtmargie.bsky.social•67 days ago

I did not care for this man at all. Who were the Democrats who voted for him?

ca-nc-galady.bsky.social•67 days ago

Still trying to find out why @senossoff.bsky.social votes in favor of this!! Thru this man, OCP, will bankrupt our treasury.

gabby0219.bsky.social•67 days ago

Bessent may be gay, but he thinks billionaires deserve more tax breaks and $7.25 per hour minimum wage is acceptable.

jenkers.bsky.social•67 days ago

WTF. Somebody needs to explain how there are Dems who voted for the 2.5% across the board tariffs every month that Bessent has promised. I am beyond pissed at Dems right now.

ov3rturf.bsky.social•67 days ago

Also the only nominee currently in appeals process for dodging taxes, which seems notable to call out

johncarltonking.bsky.social•67 days ago

DEI criminality administration, equal opportunity for anyone to be a crook no matter their identity

montesmom.bsky.social•67 days ago

How did this happen???? I love it, but in the current climate he seems like someone who would never even be considered.

resistanceisnow.bsky.social•67 days ago

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

shedevilpatrol.bsky.social•67 days ago

mitridat.bsky.social•67 days ago

Good. He is the highest ranking gay in the US history. Big win for LGBTQ

marcgrambo.bsky.social•67 days ago

Bad thing. It’s all bad things.

boudicasghost.bsky.social•67 days ago

Interesting!

sacatlady.bsky.social•67 days ago

Which Democrats just voted to extend Trump’s tax cuts for the filthy rich??? I’m going to be so angry if Slotkin and Peters bent over again!

gingerkiller.bsky.social•67 days ago

They sure did 🤬🤬🤬🤬

sacatlady.bsky.social•67 days ago

Damn!! 🤬 I contributed to getting Slotkin elected and now I feel like I was played by an appeaser.

gingerkiller.bsky.social•67 days ago

I couldn't bring myself to vote for her. I was on the fence and then I heard her bragging on Pod Save America prior to the election that people that support Trump also like her. That's not the flex she thought it was. Gov. Whitmer should kick Slotkin and Peters' asses 😤🤣

sacatlady.bsky.social•67 days ago

Unfortunately Big Gretch is singing from the appeasement hymnal also. I am so profoundly disappointed in these people. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

gingerkiller.bsky.social•67 days ago

Ugggh. Yeah, I noticed that her name wasn't on a letter that was signed by the Govs of IL, WI, MN, and others in the past week.

Pisses me right off.

stonedsean.bsky.social•67 days ago

And Lindsey Graham remains the highest ranking deeply closeted US official. Congrats, Lindsey!

marnekay.bsky.social•67 days ago

…and also owes the IRS $1M in taxes.

whiskey-chaser.bsky.social•67 days ago

"used to owe" is what you meant right?

marnekay.bsky.social•67 days ago

That’s one way to get rid of your IRS debt

grobielauren.bsky.social•67 days ago

Wait. The cheato nominated someone not straight? *The world ends*

fjriii.bsky.social•67 days ago

Did his sexuality make him a diversity hire? He seems like he follows his wallet and not his morals or ethics. Fuck him

blueeyedsentinel.bsky.social•67 days ago

WTF are Democrats doing,?

suzabelle.bsky.social•67 days ago

DEI hires, that's what we do.

(Please forgive me. gallows humor is almost all I got)

obstinateaddict.bsky.social•67 days ago

Maybe everything will be alright!

timsilver.bsky.social•67 days ago

The guy who is against raising the minimum wage and Democrats voted for him?! WTF are Dems doing?!

madre4life.bsky.social•67 days ago

I read an article that said the great hope with him is that he has a deep respect for the stock market and won’t tank it. Think of the stocks, our congress people own. Enough said right?

sapphirebluesky.bsky.social•67 days ago

Hope...mkay 🙄

wdford208.bsky.social•67 days ago

Who wants to tell Trump & Miller?

antjcol.bsky.social•67 days ago

We’re but celebrating this

hunterkelly.com•67 days ago

I’m not counting him as an LGBTQ pioneer.
