Itβs amazing Americans have never learned that bombing people into freedom isnβt a thing.

What does that look like?
Dems arenβt going to do shit but tweet.
I mean, Fetterman and Welch have already indicated their support for Noem.
And what about Nuremberg 2.0 for Schumer, whoβs done more to facilitate Israeli war crimes than anyone in this country.
Not a single Dem whoβs mouthed platitudes about accountability has ever given a single concrete statement on what that accountability will look like.
Meanwhile, 2 Dem senators (Fetterman and Welch) have indicated their support for Markwayne Mullin, whoβs as bad a Nazi as Noem.
With collaborating Dems, who even needs the GOP.

05.03.2026 21:26 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I bet the number of Dems who vote for Markwayne is more than 1.

At least.
And Democrats have been itching for an excuse to fully fund ice and DHS, so now theyβll find that all of their concerns have magically evaporated and theyβll vote to give them all the money they want after Markwayne pinky swears theyβll be nice.
Itβs also just patently untrue. These Republicans are terrified of cities, so how would she know, but I work in downtown Los Angeles and the idea that pot smoke is the predominant smell is absurd.

But god forbid you pass any laws to that effect.
Iβm surprised youβre not saying the money should go to Israel.
This is why we need to break the country up. We all hate each other and we have nothing in common.

We need better Democrats.
Not a single dollar more for Trumpβs illegal war.
No money for healthcare or anything else but lots and lots for oil companies.

Meanwhile, Dems will keep helping confirm Trumpβs nominee, Dems will help fund ICE, and Dems will keep failing to pull out all the stops to rein Trump in.
Dems are all just words.
Is it only me, or are these people becoming harder to imagine as ones we can peaceably share a society with?

Sure, Raskin will tear her a new one, but thatβs it. Dems confuse words for substance.
Noem doesnβt care. The people who vote GOP donβt care. This is performative theatre masquerading as substance.
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflictβand 9000
miles from North Americaβmakes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
And what does that look like? When Dems have the majority, what will you actually DO?

Raskin says this, but if Dems were truly committed to oversight, theyβd send a team to every ICE facility every day, without pause, and hold a press conference every time, detailing what awful things they saw.
Instead they do one theatrical visit and then go back to funding ICE.
Dems are always βcalling onβ the other side to do things (βwhen will Republican stand up to Trump?β) but never, ever say that theyβll do anything.
