For sure, I just wanted to point it out to people less familiar with our district.

I would argue that if someone is willing to discard their values to attain/maintain power, they are probably not a great person. The mask is off for a lot of our congresspeople (on both sides of the aisle).

I live in his district. 45% of his constituents live in Lincoln (which is mostly Blue), but he chose to hold his town hall in a city 1 hour away that is mostly Red in order to avoid criticism. Glad it didn’t work. What a coward.

Came here to ask what whore members are?

What would be the downsides to having 18-year term limits for Congress and the Supreme Court? I don’t think there are any.

The average person doesn’t think twice about getting into a car, but most people have at least some fear related to flying, which is exponentially safer. Same concept here. I don’t think most people have the critical thinking skills necessary to distinguish average levels of corruption from this

Did you know a BK competitor tried to offer a 1/3 lb burger for the same price as a quarter pounder and it failed because most Americans didn’t realize it had more meat?

Because Republicans are the majority, they don’t need any Dems to bring them to a vote. Dems filibustered Vought for the maximum 30 hours and are blocking unanimous consent of lower appointments.

I’m American and I view America twice as negatively as the Canadians do.

American here, have at it. The good people here welcome the criticism. We’ve earned it.

Would be a shame if someone created a shadow NTSB Bluesky account and reposted everything from the X account.

Trump’s mental decline is on full display and Republicans still voted for him after 4 years of whining and screaming about Biden’s age and mental fitness. If you want to argue that presidents shouldn’t be 78 years old I’m not going to disagree but lose the faux righteous anger.

@amyklobuchar.com this is most definitely not what I want. Do not work with fascists. Resist them.

Hitler wasn’t actually elected, he lost the presidential election and was subsequently appointee to chancellor.

It’s more nuanced than that. There were former business executives working for the government essentially for free and not every contract was profitable. You can hate Nazi’s and also not want your country to go to war. What AOC said might not be 100% accurate but it’s also not 100% wrong either.

This isn’t entirely accurate. The U.S. manufactured and provided most of the equipment and weapons used by the allies in WWII and did so before we officially entering the war. The allies would have lost without our help. Wont argue that we took too long to enter the war. Shoulda joined sooner.
