If Mr. Elias (and Adam Kinzinger) can keep going, so can we. Tragic that so many are so lacking in courage (including many Democrats.)

The only even remotely good thing I can say is at least it's right out there in the open now. *Sigh*

@schumer.senate.gov We won't forget and we won't let you.

Too bad we can't go back in time and start with his parents...

Oops. This is a joke, but everything is so insane and stupid, it's increasingly difficult to tell.

Sorry, but no. Get someone else to do the podcast with you.

This. They may not care about their constituents but they DO care about votes and money. Goes for both GOP and Democrats.

He'd be backing people into the wall and leaning over them,stabbing their chest with his finger. We need a mean sumbitch like LBJ. Schumer isn't up to the job.

*Jon Ossoff* just announced he's voting no. You think that happened out of nowhere? CALL YOUR SENATORS. πŸ‘‡

And I'd donate to fund a group of tubas to follow him wherever he goes...

And they have voice mail back up on Schumer's line. Phone: (202) 224-6542

I'm sure Susan Collins is deeply disappointed...

Yup. Maybe Jason whats-his-name, the country singer??? I now it's horrifying but it's also pathetic and hilarious. "Golden Age in Arts and Culture." It'll be SO great with Hulk Hogan rips his shirt off!

Isn't Victoria Jackson dead? Welp, he won't know the difference.

This. Especially if you have a GOP representative. Some of them may still be capable of rational thought and want to get re-elected. (I also call GOP reps and senators, remind them that while I'm not a constituent, I can and will donate and volunteer for their opponents.)

Ya know, that ep of The Walking Dead where the CDC was reduced to one sad man holed up in an underground facility that was programmed to self-destruct makes a lot more sense now.

Thank you. Hold the line and I hope more will follow your example.

You could go around him. He really has no authority over you.

This. It absolutely astounds me so many are meekly just rolling over for a private citizen and his minions.

Wanta end the coup? Send Sydney Sweeney in to talk to the DOGE incels. "WOW! A REAL GIRL!" (Let's have a bit of fun with it all. Lessens the horror.)

Yep. It must be so infuriating. There you are, a perfectly designed killing machine, sharp of fang and claw, an apex predator...and a human picks you up and kisses you on the nose.

By all means, continue to dump on the Bidens. It's the most important thing you can be doing!

Occurred to me as I sipped this morning's coffee. Wonder how many of the DOGE incels know Fortran? COBOL? Lots of legacy systems and layer upon layer in the gov't systems.

Having worked with a fair share of the tech bro galaxy brains, I can affirm this is spot on.

I'm still over at the other place, mainly because I'm contrary that way. And a lot of us are still making fun of Musk and the toddler, so there's that. Onward, folks, onward.

This. And use the power of the bureaucracy, forms in triplicate, slowwww walk to the file room, etc. I know folks aren't used to this level of shameless criming, but c'mon. Fight back. You can do that by simply acting stupid...

This makes sense. Of course, it's also excruciatingly embarrassing that "we the people" elected him again.

And having worked with CEOs, I'm here to tell ya, most of them actually do very little and are very, very far removed from the real world. And, God forbid, they actually talk to a customer. Most could literally disappear tomorrow and things would go on.
