What a guy - so sharp and alert. Does someone in his clown cabinet think itโ€™s a good idea for grandpa sociopath to sleep during meetings? ๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿ˜ด

What an absolute embarrassment!

One of his other 'obligatory traditions ' was also raping young girls. Should he keep that one going too, Mikey?

The one thing this election made very clear, for me, is that Chuck Schumer has got to GO. Feckless, out of touch, no will to fight.

Thank you for your service sir, but we need something very different right now.

If you love this country, stand down so she can thrive.

In order to do that, they will have to reopen the Government.
That means Johnson will have to swear in the new Congresswoman from AZ.
She is the 218th vote to release the Epstein files.

NY Times guy says itโ€™s โ€œobviousโ€ that Harris lost because sheโ€™s too radical. To win, he says, the Democrats need to move to the center. The same eternal BS.

The truth is, the Democrats are too tepid for the American people.

We The People are ready to dump the systems that failed us.

This right here. They've eliminated the filibuster for multiple other bills this session already, but refuse to do so now... what does that tell you?

Republicans are ripping healthcare away from 15 million Americans, doubling premiums for 20 million, and refusing to release emergency SNAP funding needed to keep millions fed.

Once again, Republicans are proving themselves as the party of billionaires and corporate interests.

This pic from Chicago today made me ponder how we see many enormous post-election rallies against Trump, but we never see enormous rallies *for* Trump. Sure, we see a score of people on the roadside with flags every so often, but nothing like this. Maybe he's just not as popular as he thinks he is.
