They should not be allowed to walk the streets in peace. They are traitors to the Constitution, selling us all out because when the moment to fight came, they talked themselves into surrendering instead. Torment them forever.

Remember: whatever happens from here on out the Dems who vote for this GOP budget are complicit. Because they willingly surrendered the power they had to stop it.

The idea that allowing what’s been happening the last two months to continue is a way to avoid “blame” is madness

Senate Democrats were offered nothing in exchange for voting for a GOP budget and decided it was a deal that was too good to pass up

FDR once bragged to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that the richest people in the nation hated him and “I welcome their hatred.”

Just weeks later, he was re-elected with 61% of the vote in a 523-8 blowout in the Electoral College.

Voters *like* politicians who make the right enemies.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.

Do not let anyone play games with you.

Fact-check: True

A screenshot of a poem. The poem reads: Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

MAGA is the aggregate politics of three generations of men who, as boys, passed through a culture that taught them their sole obligation was to have a good time, now violently convulsing as they face the social, economic, environmental, and spiritual consequences of that teaching’s shortcomings…
