Brilliant description

olderbutlearning.bsky.social•2 days ago

Love it!

ec188.bsky.social•23 hours ago

The republicans in Congress are cowards! They all need to listen to their constituents and provide oversight over the criminals in the Executive branch of the government. I love seeing the good people of Texas holding their elected officials accountable for the lack of oversight and transparency!

They’re bought and paid for. Mainly with oil money.

Why are magats there? He’s on board with what they voted for. If they are unhappy, then could it be…they were uninformed?

jmal52.bsky.social•1 day ago

It would appear that they are uninformed. I only saw one MAGA hat, but there were several people wearing Keith Self t-shirts. They were pretty silent throughout. This may have been eye-opening for them. I hope so, anyway.

roseagain.bsky.social•1 day ago

Maybe they're not MAGA? Republicans are the majority there but Democrats live there too.

I gotta say, I just love the phrase "tits up." I love it!

Curious what job these voters what him to do? Only hurt “those people” not us?

elizabeth1951.bsky.social•1 day ago

Like most of these representatives from highly Republican districts who won by many points, they want these representatives to start thinking about the welfare of ALL his constituents instead of bowing down to Trump and Johnson. And in Texas, that is a big deal. Billionaires control here.

jmal52.bsky.social•1 day ago

Him leading with DOGE support and the ensuing boos should have given him a clue that not everyone in his district agrees with him. Since this is now reaching a national office, I hope he at least thinks about that. I fear he won't.

roseagain.bsky.social•1 day ago

Red state Democrats deserve a lot of respect for keeping hope alive where they outnumbered.

lucas65.bsky.social•1 day ago

Maybe. But it is good they feel their own voters being angry. If it were just democrat voters they'd just laugh

This is not even remotely close to what Clinton did. More Republican gas lightning.

llamagogo.bsky.social•1 day ago

Doge is not doing what Clinton admin did.. Clinton did it methodically with approval from legislators and over a couple years.. they understood how government works.. this senator is spewing lies.. he knows DOGE is destroying the government for Putin..

Came here to say the same. The Republicans really think Americans are idiots with no memories.

lalarayster.bsky.social•1 day ago

He's so full of shit. Bill Clinton didn't mass fire 400k federal workers. He let those positions go through natural attrition by not backfilling them when people left or retired. He didn't destroy people's lives. The gaslighting is so unbelievable.

fnaoi.bsky.social•1 day ago

Clinton had the approval of CONGRESS and was after months of review and in consultation of Congress.

fizzivoid.bsky.social•21 hours ago

So much fiction happening!!
Yes there were hiring freezes and RIFs. All of them respected the human lives the changes impacted, and did not scapegoat regular people. No comparison, how dare he.

Look at his face! He looks scared, and he should be. They all should be. They’re pissing off their own side now. Turns out it’s harder to lie to people when it’s about stuff that actually directly impacts themselves and the people they love.

Ken Self will go back to his office, and reread the memo, "Don't do town halls!"
And say,"Huh!"

kevwiat.bsky.social•1 day ago

Lile the rest of them, his next Town Hall will be online with only registered Republicans allowed in. He'll be surprised when he still gets boo'd.

scarletp1792.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Aussie here 🙋‍♀️

Our politicians mainly do these (if at all) just before upcoming elections…

In the US are these ‘town halls’ required?
regularly?
Or just standard practice?

Please and thank you ☺️

uninvited-guest.bsky.social•18 hours ago

None of the above. My representative hasn't done a town hall in years. He's in a safe district and doesn't have the need.

I love the unmistakable twang in "vote you out," good luck blaming this on outside agitators.

kevwiat.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's always crisis actors or false flag operators. They tell on themselves constantly.

ouisiem.bsky.social•1 day ago

They project a lot

kevwiat.bsky.social•1 day ago

Always accuse the other side of what you're doing, said Goebbels.

lauralee47.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump does that all of the time. It’s a true tell to what he is actually doing behind the scenes.

It reminds me of that old childhood taunt to name calling, “I know you are but what am I?”

emeraldcity987.bsky.social•1 day ago

Re watched Mississippi Burning and their terms were "outside agitators." MLK said there can be no outsiders anywhere inside the U.S. We are one.

The Lies Catch Up to Republicans

Venture outside their media bubble,
Suddenly GOP’s in all sorts of trouble.
Folks who don’t do X or Fox News,
See incompetence. Let loose the boos!

qhardy.bsky.social•2 days ago

I just checked: Last November this Republican won with 62.5% of the vote. This can't feel so great.

babewiththepower.bsky.social•1 day ago

Using some rough numbers, I think that would be a quarter of the people in the county.

qhardy.bsky.social•23 hours ago

If we made it easier to vote, and people bothered voting (which, I'm sorry, is largely on them), this would be a vastly different country.

elizabeth1951.bsky.social•23 hours ago

You're absolutely right. In Texas it's hard for some folks to register before they can vote then actually find somewhere to vote. Republicans will make it as difficult to vote by reducing polling places and the number of early voting days each voting cycle. They are a curse on everyone.

qhardy.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Authentic democracy might not be good for business. Not worth the risk.

Security measures were present, but could've been easily breached. You wouldn't have gotten away, though.

They had 'em all in the same room at CPAC last week. ijs

lluck002.bsky.social•2 days ago

CPAC was in National Harbor, Maryland. Populace in the DC area isn’t as strapped as Texans lol. Too bad Luigi wasn’t in attendance

boteball.bsky.social•2 days ago

I just saw a headline the other day about 2 ppl who died in a Mexican hotel due to exposure to some kind of gas that kills bedbugs. Be creative!

npostorino.bsky.social•2 days ago

Correct me if I'm writing, a "town hall" is meant to be a Q&A with constituents. This looked like a lecture from a guy trying to look smart to a bunch of people he thinks are dumb.

shinylion.bsky.social•1 day ago

That’s exactly it.
