I am the Dem-iest Dem you’ll ever meet. I have been a Democrat my entire life. I have raised my kids to be liberal Democrats. I’ve spent decades convincing my once GOP spouse to be a Dem. I’m not some shit disturbing hater. So when I say that I’m in a rage about Dem leaders, this is why.

Raskin: "So I assume if you really want to proceed to censure the gentleman from Texas for talking about no mandate to cut Medicaid, then certainly we're going to have to move to censure the President for using a racial and ethnic slur against a sitting United States Senator."

AND - in case everyone has forgotten, NATO came at a dead run to support our CAP. President Felon is going to make the US leave NATO. A year and a half ago I was pretty sure eh would try. But did not think he could succeed. Now? I'm thinking he is going to. And it won't take too much longer.

Does anyone believe President Felon is the sole writer for his speeches? And don't tell me those aren't written in advance - we can see him reading off the teleprompter. He has dementia. Do all his speech writers? Or are they so dyslectic that they can't read words? He only hires the best. /snark

Do GOP members see anyone who isn't a white, male also a GOP member? I've certainly not seen any evidence.

So... What sticks has President Felon been using on Putin to get him to stop the war? Anyone out there have an answer to that? He's been using plenty of sticks on Ukraine. Yeah. We know which side Felon takes. Not with democracy. Not with our allies.

Great. President Felon wants to let Putin inside the US firewall. Guess that's one way to save money. Why bother having a firewall if you are going to let the Russians inside it anyway?

It shouldn't be the military. It should be the FBI working with the Secret Service. A military junta of any sort would be the final nail in the constitution.

So, they don't understand that there are already at least 2 private parcel delivery services? Both of which are more expensive than USPS for the average customer? How exactly do they expect a 3rd service will add additional value for customers for extracting more $$$ from them?

I do kinda wonder though, about what Verizon's lawyers have to say about this.

Oh no. Can' do that. That's illegal in most states. It might kill people who don't want to die. But if we can get enough of them sick enough, they die slowly and it's God's will then. Or something.

They won't tolerate threats to federal workers... They just fire them without cause by the hundreds But they will be sure that this one who claims to be GOP will keep her job. Even odds she gets her clearance straight from President Felon.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but... Didn't the internments of citizens of Japanese descent get rubber-stamped by the courts - something the exec branch WAS DOING? It wasn't a case of the courts ordering the President to do something, was it?

When the university I work for came back to work in the office, most if not all of the restrooms on campus posted hand-washing instructions. Last week that sticker had been removed from the restroom I most frequently use. It had been replaced with info on how to find the DEI office on campus.

Guess who’s getting a new FAA contract to help privatize air safety? Elon Musk. He’s cutting the FAA and everything else in government — and carving it off for himself. THE WHOLE THING IS A MONEY GRAB

Unfortunately it is the children who have exactly no say in the matter who do the most of the finding out. And in this case the finding out = illness, suffering and death. But yeah. No sympathy for the parents. Who supposed to be the adults in the room.
