Expat Dreaming

Marge - Republicans need to get back to work so they can pass Trump's agenda

Also Marge - Republicans suck on the economy & healthcare

I'm just hoping the Marge effect results in MAGA & Republicans skipping voting for once. Tired of low turnout meaning a 💯 chance a Republican gets elected.

I was hoping for 3 consecutive days without any new drama. Maybe next week.

Why doesn't any reporter ask him why he just doesn't tell Republicans in the Senate to nuke the filibuster?

What's sad is even the Republicans on snap will be like yeah, it mainly is those Democrats on snap. If it wasn't for all those lazy Democrats Republicans wouldn't be withholding my snap funds.

Weird, it’s almost like Trump’s constant threats of lawsuits are meaningless and institutions should not capitulate right away

Every church should be doing this, and if your church isn’t, you’re at the wrong church.

Perfect response from @neguse.house.gov here. Watch this.

When rich people get help from the government they call it a subsidy, bailout, loophole, or tax break or incentive.

When poor people get help from the government they call it free stuff, a hand out, socialism, or communism.

Recall when we had a president who was a decent human being? Seems so remote and novel now.

Platner had a Nazi tattoo until people found out about it. He knew he had a Nazi tattoo. Changing your tattoo because you got caught is like returning something you stole because you got busted. It's not remorse or a change of morals, it's placating to avoid accountability.

Trump's amazing deal nets 8 million tons less soybeans sales to China over a 4 year span. Anyone else who started needless trade wars and lost sales compared to the last guy would be viewed as a terrible business man, Trump - best deal maker ever. 🙄

It continues to be the height of embarrassment that our allies know that Trump is made happy if you treat him like a toddler playing dress-up and give him the crown that he covets or have a merch stand with his branding.

“.. Mr. Xi’s message seemed to be: Beijing had proven its capacity to hit back and Washington would do well to remember it.”

I made mention that the press was ignoring 6 month yearly health checks, bruises & MRI's & how they would have treated Biden if this had been him. My husband who hates Trump said that's bc Biden was worse off. Said he couldn't even walk up stairs, I was like yeah - he jogged. 🙄

Trump is boasting China will buy a “tremendous” amount of Soybeans (25 metric tons/year)

REALITY: That’s less than 2024 (27MT)

He’s counting on you not knowing that.

Yes, It’s better than 0. Yes, Farmers need it.

But putting out another fire he started does not a hero make.

A tweet from John Fugelsang reads in all caps: "NO FOOD FOR YOU UNTIL THE DEMOCRATS LET US TAKE AWAY YOUR HEALTHCARE" – US House Speaker Mike Johnson.

This perfectly encapsulates what the GOP position is on the shutdown.

IMO when a progressive loses a primary to a centrist and then that centrist loses the general to a republican, the dem party goes more right to attract voters. Non-voters are the reason the left has gone more right & the right can be as big of fascists as they want bc they suffer no consequences.

Non Voter - I don't understand why the Democratic Party keeps going more right simply because the people that vote keep voting for Centrists in the primary and then Republicans in the general.

So they are getting each other's attention with a Nazi salute & then moving into different hand signals?!? For sure, that clears everything up. 🤨

Banana republic shit.

Every country in the world has figured out that all they have to do is give Trump some amazing sounding false promise to announce so he can take credit for a “win” and they can get whatever they want in return. He craves personal credit and fluffery - substance is irrelevant.

Would have played out better with the public had they just tossed the rules out the window - BUT considering who had SCOTUS bending over backwards was necessary to avoid the case being tossed. Can't believe judge appointments aren't enough to get ppl to vote for a Dem POTUS for the rest of all time.

Republicans have a wand - it's called nuking the filibuster. If they don't want to negotiate to open the government they should use their "magic wand" and let people go back to work.

I'm so mad I'd never stay home. Staying home is what got us into this mess. It's also at the heart of the reason Dems keep tacking right.

The president had a MRI but won't say why.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.

How is any of this ok?

I remember watching these young girls on the Daily Show say we hate Trump, my body my choice & then go on to laugh when they were asked if they were voting. There's only one way to stop the candidate you "hate" from getting elected, hope we've finally learned that.

This is disgusting. Blatant corruption at the highest level in plain sight and Oversight Chair Comer Pyle morphs into a combination of Mr. Magoo and Sgt. Schultz.

Tweet from Meredith Lee Hill stating that dozens of Democratic attorneys general and governors plan to sue the Trump administration for refusing to use emergency funds to maintain food aid for 42 million Americans.

It shouldn’t take him getting sued to ensure tens of millions don’t go hungry in the richest nation on Earth.
