Texas Paul hi Matt here can I donate through your p. o . box I started following you about a year ago keep it going I want to help and ya had a great show this morning peace out !
But they aren’t. Democrats and Republicans both are the WWE. They’re all friends backstage and put on the “quarrels” for entertainment. They pretend to fight for us when in reality they’re complicit in the pillaging of America.
MAGA is doing this:
Trump Supporters Go All In for Pete Hegseth With Money and Coordination
Conservative organizations are targeting Republican senators, saying that they will pay a price if they do not back the president-elect’s choice for defense secretary.
Please rt this to your D rep. We are DONE with strongly worded letters, no push back, and trying to “work with” R’s. We face Trump’s attempt to control the DOJ and military. We face fascism. Fuck the “high road.” It’s time to FIGHT for decency and democracy.
Biden got hundreds of judges appointed and basically all his cabinet nominations approved. With less of a Senate majority than the GOP has now.
Trump's going to get most of his picks. There's nothing Dems can do about that. That's not Dems not fighting, but just how confirmations work.
We did not lose a SC seat because of protocol and the rules, but because the Constitution requires Senate approval and McConnell controlled the Senate.
People like to pretend there were options there. There weren't.
Dems are always toooo nice. We need our own outlandish conspiracy theories to throw at them. Let’s start with Hegseth! “My neighbors brother-in-law’s sister told him the FedEx driver told her that Hegseth drinks too much and runs naked through the streets.” How’s that??
This is where we will see if leadership has any fire left in their bellies at all. I do personally believe it's time for changes up top...and NOT by seniority, who's up next.
Every one of his appointments will get confirmed. Dems can’t do anything to stop it. And I’m tired of seeing nothing but shock and awe from them. Take the gloves off and fkn FIGHT!
I freaking agree!!!! This shit with the Dems has to fucking stop, they need to grab their belts and garters and go to work. Be relentless attack and question everything. Do not give them any courtesy that was not extended to any Dem confirmations.
The senate confirmations will only confirm what I already know. They will be confirmed. We are in deep shit! The ultra rich in control of the economy and the government. Project 2025 at work. 77 million ppl voted for this shit.
so sick of the high road. time to get down in the mud where the pigs are. been saying that since day one. Shouldn't have confirmed the votes without reassessing. boycott the inauguration. Speak up during the ceremony to distract and divide. get mean. there's a reason that "nice guys finish last."
Already called my two, plus Chuck Schumer. I asked them to hit the nominees with specific, painful questions.
For Hegseth:
Other than being forced out of two veterans organizations, what qualifies you to lead the biggest, most complex military organization in the world?

The "Deus Vult" tattoo on your arm was first worn by Crusaders who rampaged through the Rhineland in 1096, and massacred whole Jewish communities on their way to Jerusalem. Where, BTW, they massacred more Jews. Why do you wear that tattoo?

Chuck needs to be deposed in 2 years, he's a factional corporatist hack fraud failure. (See NLRB appointments & butchering of Build Back Better,Child Tax Credit, etc.

It is better to coalition build around him. Don't expect top-down resistance to Trumpism from 🟦MAGA types.
Kamala, the Democrats, and American history and values lost to a conman lying condo salesman. If that doesn't shout to Democratic Leadership to Wake The Eff Up and stop being nice, then we're all doomed.
@realtexaspaul.com, I hope you're right! Some of those, if not most, are wildly unqualified to hold positions in our government. This stuff we're hearing and reading is ridiculous. Keep making a difference. It's sooooo important. Oh, and my coffee is awesome. Have a wonderful weekend.
There needs to be younger non “this is the way we’ve always done it” BS leadership. That “the gentleman/gentlewoman” way of thinking crap needs to be dropped bc these aren’t “gentle ppl”, these are ruthless pawns pledged to do the devils bidding
It's RIDE OR DIE & you can't HIDE,Democrats!Take off the gloves!Schumer made too many deals with Manchin.Look in Open Secrets & you'll find he owned stock w Manchin in the Mountain Valley Pipeline.Disgusting.It's time to beat them & NOT join them. Filibuster the heck out of every evil thing you see!
I realize there's no filibuster with Cabinet nominations. Harry Reid had to nuke the filibuster for Cabinet & federal judges bc Obama's appointees were piling high to the ceiling, but let's fight! Don't make it easy for them!!📌
They don’t have the talent to do it. At the present moment, with the lackluster group of lazy politicians we have elected, they are dead and buried for at least two years and probably for much longer than that.
Same here. They run the most status quo campaign of my lifetime and lose to the worst candidate in my lifetime and they demand we move even FURTHER to the right. I’m over it. I WONT vote for another do nothing, billionaire owned democrat ever again. We move left or we keep losing.
If we go far enough to the left we might at least reach the political middle. Compared to other developed countries the US is a right wing country and has been for a long time. Why do you think Obama couldn't make any headway? Half the Dems were too entrenched in the status quo.
A short time ago, I was on the other site, feeling quite badly about it as Elonia continued to come unglued. I came across your post so eloquently stating what needed to be said about leaving and coming here. I want to extent a very deserved, “Thank you,” along with my respect.
I’m so tired of my 2, Klobuchar and Tina Smith bending over backwards to look so bi-partisan. It’s a disease w the establishment Dems and I’m sick of it. I told them no means NO on all nominees w ZERO qualifications, and that’s most. Rs bitch about DEI while they hoist these idiots on us.
Greetings friend, glad to find you here. Yup, we need fighters, not speeches. We didn't lose because we were too far left, but because we were far too business as usual. Playing nice with the bullies never pays. More AOC and Jasmine Crockett, less Schumer please.
The Republicans will continue to exclude Democrats and collaborate with Trump to demolish the federal government and make America all White Nationalists again.
Yes,yes,and yes! Let the annihilation of brain cells begin! Paul, your comments are spot on. With all those damn skeletons escaping from their closets,and the fact that they're dangerous for the country, woefully unqualified and feckless, tells ya all ya need to know.
WEAR BLACK ON JAN 21ST IN MOURNING for Democracy. Don't patronize the products of the BIG DONORS WHO show up at the inaugral ball and who are using him to destroy America.
I'll believe their opposition when I see it. we can't even get the nation's top prosecutor to think twice about a felon in the white house. fuck this voting process
Social Security has a surplus.
GOP want to steal this surplus so they can validate TAX CUTS for the RICH.
The RICH use are our military and government subsidies well not paying taxes for that great expense.
Tax the f#@kin rich already, they're tax cuts created the DEBT.
Let the truth out.
Cuts=DEBT
Absolute truth. I am so mad right now - let's see what they do. If they don't uphold our values, then it will be time to say fuck them. Sorry, hope you're at the cussing pond.
The American people should be planning a HUGE protest in the streets before Jan 20th!
DEMS need to do what's right for America! They need to explain why these people are so bad. A list with former GOP picks compared to current.
Yessir, it’s past time we stop fucking around. Time to call them out. Embarrass them. Humiliate them. Brutally and without regard to past political norms.
With the orange peanut floods the confirmation hearings with people that have no business being in charge of a job that requires empathy, trust, dedication, or brains with total idiots or those that couldn't care less about the job but loves the power...it will be massive job for the sane dems.
@schumer.senate.gov Failure to attack ALL of the nominations is normalizing unfit people and therefore a failure of integrity by Democrats. BE THE OPPOSITION PARTY!
Thank you for your voice, POV, and lighting a fire to get the job done and done right by those on the side of democracy. This is to save the process of democracy, not about party affiliation really. BTW, great podcast Ultra to explain fascism.
We have to find a way to make our representatives. More accountable to us other than every 4 years. We have to set term limits. We have to do things.
That makes sense Like fines and penalties that would hurt their paychecks. Get the Lobbiest out government
@housedemocrats.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov - EXACTLY THIS! You're obeying in advance and selling US down the river. #CapitulationCaucus #DixieCratDems - pathetic. We deserve better! Stand up and fight WITH US, not against us!
It shouldn’t even be a hard sell, Paul. Each one is so flawed and under qualified they should have mountains of facts to throw at them. All they need to do is prepare.
Comments
We saw it before.
But asking Chuck Schumer to lead a harsh attack is a lot like the Union army asking a sloth to charge the field at Gettysburg.
This is outright war
We need to act like it
And we can't rely on more institutionalism
Democrats need to learn that lesson
And quickly
Trump Supporters Go All In for Pete Hegseth With Money and Coordination

But I’m like haven’t THEY been watching the news? Shouldn’t they know by now what’s the right thing to do?
And they should’ve been fighting a long time ago and not just now?
The ones that will stand strong will get the rug pulled from under them by party LEADERSHIP….. just like the Kavanaugh hearings
Trump's going to get most of his picks. There's nothing Dems can do about that. That's not Dems not fighting, but just how confirmations work.
People like to pretend there were options there. There weren't.
Looks like a guy cosplaying as a librarian?
Oh, he's impressive.
It is time the Democrats to clean house and find younger, more energetic talent. Let AOC get in there, and put Nancy in a home.
Seriously, wears glasses on his nose?
HAVE THEY GIVEN UP WITHOUT EVEN TRYING TO FIGHT??
Oppose
Senate Dems, mostly the men, are pathetic cowards.
Durbin let Roberts and the other Supreme crooks and MAGATS break the law,
Blumenthal gushed over Elon Musk and called him “the foremost champion of free speech in the tech industry.”
Schumer’s a weeny…
Reckon all MAGA, Tea Party & other Republican politicians will be implicated in this treasonous rebellion.
For Hegseth:
Other than being forced out of two veterans organizations, what qualifies you to lead the biggest, most complex military organization in the world?
