No, they cannot bring anything for a vote. They are the MINORITY.

And if they do (e.g. the recent discharge petitions signed by a few GOP which forced the votes), they mostly will still end up in the minority. Spineless GOP.

You are mistaken that Dems are not doing things they can.

And if the Dems had a majority and/or the votes they need from Republicans, they would ABSOLUTELY be doing that.

Now, go and pile on the GOP for awhile please.

And after you do that, please go take a basic civics course. I'm getting tired of these ridiculous kinds of Dem-bashing comments.

Trump: "Hey America -- look over THERE."

(Instead of at: Epstein files, or my ICE Gestapo sh*tshow, etc.)

Both things can be true, Charles:

It is a sick joke AND a dumpster fire.

As is Sen. Bernie Moreno himself.

Trump regime has been breaking international law for awhile now. They are going to normalize that too.

You know he is!!!!

The GOP aren't worried about it, b/c his grifting is on such a small scale. He only took a $50k bribe.

Compared to many in the Trump regime, that is just peanuts. Easy to look the other way.

Never liked George Will much, but do like the headline of his piece in the @washingtonpost.com yesterday.

He calls our government a "loutocracy" which of course is run by a complete lout (you-know-who).

Read the order -- they complied with releasing the individual the Court ordered, so the Court withdrew the requirement to appear.

They cannot testify under oath (b/c they are liars), so they just complied with the judge's order.

ICE has " . . . the professional demeanor of criminals."

Ugh. But yes, we all know this.

Well, when we've lost Prof. Hockett @roberthockett.bsky.social I feel defeated.

We should totally ignore that overly-verbal, faux-intellectualized goofball. He had his 15 minutes of fame . . . and it is OVER.

But also -- note that Apple on your "I'll buy from . . . " list made a mega-sum donation for Trump's ex-East Wing golden ballroom.

Add these consumer companies to a "Do Not Buy" list . . .

Yes -- I got it. But I couldn't help myself and wanted to take the opportunity to compare them! 😀

They are opposites:

One has upstanding character, works for the American people, respects her oath to the Constitution.

The other one is a dangerously wishy-washy woman who will do anything to get some power so she can get rich & abuse the American people.

I have NEVER confused those two.

Reminds me of the "Hanging Judges" of yore.

Upon reflection . . . not just "reminds me." Is the exact same thing.
