He blocked key bills, watered down reforms, and kept the party stuck. Now he’s acting like if Biden had just followed his lead, everything would be fine. Manchin was the roadblock then, and he’s still offering nothing of value on his sad book tour now.

Late night hosts criticizing the president isn’t new. Having a thin-skinned dictator wannabe who can’t take it is.

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

Another successful cabinet meeting with Dear Leader

First, they came for John Bolton
And I did speak out
Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache,
I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.

Jesus Christ.

If your credit isn’t frozen at all three bureaus, I would strongly consider doing that now

"For those people out there who ... say, 'Well, I just don't like those people either' ... You could be next. ... This is not about any one individual, this is about our rights as Americans, and our right to have a justice system where choices about prosecuting are made without fear or favor."

The height of stupidity.

Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned”

She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired.

The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”

Watching Loomer harass & demonize individual Muslim government employees simply for being Muslims while the Democrats & 'liberal media' say nothing is a reminder of how mainstreamed & normalized anti-Muslim bigotry is in the US, across the spectrum.
Imagine if these were Jewish or Black employees.

Straight up facts. It's the only answer that makes sense.
