Oh I get the fee part gets charged to him, but the CC processor he was using, I know it was a flat fee for the complex that was NOT 2% of even just my unit's rent. Hence, πŸ–•and you still get checks.

Last place I rented finally started taking online payments, but the fee to do so was 2% of your rent. Big ol middle finger to the landlord on that one.

They are not recriminations. It's about accountability. You expect us to turnout for elections, then stab us in the back by caving. And you wonder why it's SO friggin hard to get people back out to vote? Why would they trust ANY of you to actually have their backs? You've repeatedly shown otherwise.

If you fucking caved, you've fought for fucking nothing. You need to fucking resign old ass asshole.

FUCKING FIGHT! That's what we voted for JUST THIS PAST TUESDAY!

Goddamn fucking losers.

Fucking bullshit. If this is true, Dems have lost for generations. This is not what people voted for, period.

Do NOT cave after just beating the stuffing out of the GOP in the election. Worst possible move, ever. You want a riot @schumer.senate.gov ? How about you @booker.senate.gov ? Why the hell would you cave without a deal on the ACA? A promise of a vote is less than nothing. Have some damn balls. #aca

Al Golden and Zac Taylor both need to be fired, along with every damn defensive player. Disgraceful.

JD Vance brushes off racist texts in Republican group chat as β€˜what kids do’ | First Thing Vice-president downplays messages such as β€˜I love Hitler’ in chat by 24- to 35-year-olds as β€˜stupid jokes’. Plus, Virginia Giuffre on her abuse at the hands of Epstein and Maxwell

I don't know about you, but I prefer a VP who condemns Nazis and doesn't make excuses for them. And these MEN were between 24 and 35......they are NOT kids.

Schumer is still a failed leader, even with one good ad. Dude is feckless at best and has shown he is nowhere close to meeting the moment. We need new leadership, everywhere.
