Crassus, who was one of the wealthiest Romans in its history, was rumored to love gold.

Can someone remind me how he was ultimately killed? @deepstatedude.bsky.social

A Roman Object Lesson in Greed and Stupidity The richest of the three men in the first triumvirate, Crassus died while fighting the Parthians, a Roman object lesson in greed and stupidity.

Had to look it up. Like Crassus, 47 won’t listen to anybody!

The ACA is one of the most significant healthcare reforms in American history.

The ACA expanded the coverage to millions of people .

It has protected people with preexisting conditions.

Young people in college can stay on their parent’s plans.

Why do republicans hate it ?

“I don’t need a lecture, whether it’s from Bernie or the Governor in California.” – John Fetterman

Wow! This dude needs to spare us the tough-guy act. The real strength would’ve been continuing the fight for our healthcare when Democrats had leverage instead of giving Republicans political cover.

Flood @schumer.senate.gov office and demand he whip his caucus to vote NO.

Don't bother commenting "why bother", "who cares", or any other demoralizing, obstructionist, fatalist sentiment about futility. I will hide it.

So we make a deal that allows several Republican senators in key states to vote for ACA subsidies next month and get political cover back home, but not enough to pass it. Sounds great.

ICE agent wounds deputy U.S. marshal and TikTok streamer, who is charged with assault Carlitos Ricardo Parias was charged Tuesday night with assault on a federal officer after the immigration operation in L.A. in which the suspect and a U.S. marshal were injured.

Even though this happened two weeks ago I just saw it. ICE shoot a US Marshall. This is how untrained these idiots are.

This was too stupid of a “deal” to have been real. Since when does the party of starvation, disappearing humans, and imploding the national healthcare system keep “deals?”

Never. This IS the art of their dealings.

Complicit or idiocy - they really screwed the whole country.
