Already? I knew it wouldn’t go anywhere but man that’s the shortest attempt yet. I didn’t think it was possible for them to disappoint me with my basement level expectations but they certainly have managed to do so.
The fact that half of the democrats also voted to kill this is depressing.
i was surprised it was only half as most of the dems are owned by aipac. dnc leader schumer works overtime to enable israeli warcrimes than fighting trumps lunacy. there is a reason dnc chose loosing the election over condemning israel in any way when they were bombing hospitals full of infants. if we are to get back our democracy then every aipac backed democrat needs to be kicked to the bottom of each and every primary.

Any blue will do amirite?
Mike Johnson is a toady giving ol Don a good old deep throated blow. Until (though really, if) the Senate and House flip, there won’t be any attempt with real legs.
Nah. Al Green and Shri Thanedar’s articles were filed and shelved in the same day as well. They’re just doing it to have them on record. It’s a waste of Senate floor time when they would be conducting oversight hearings, challenging provisions in Republican bills, and collecting the information needed for the ACLU to take these cases to the courts.
Despite the constant criticism, people who watch CSPAN are fully aware of how Democrats are using every last second of their floor time to challenge this regime.
Most Democrats joined the Republican majority to table the measure
Fucking utter cowards all.
US democracy dies cause Dems can’t/won’t fight effectively or message appropriately.
And don’t come at me with “they and their families are under threat from MAGA terrorists”…
Know what? Our predecessors who fought for US democracy were under similar if not worse threats… They stood up then in the face of those threats and these current cowardly fucks can just as well stand the fuck up now or continue to wear the coward badge. Fucking sick of Dem cowardice.
FFS.
Absolutely agree
“At this time, at this moment, we are focusing on what this big, ugly bill is going to do,” he said about the big Trump tax breaks package making its way through Congress. “I think anything outside of that is a distraction because this is the most important thing that we can focus on.”
Such a garbage excuse.
Republicans will ram through whatever shit they can whether it’s legal or not, and Democrats will trip over their own dicks and let the parliamentarian block them even when they have a majority.
I increasingly feel like voting for people is a bad system. I don’t want to pick someone to make all the decisions for me: just let me vote directly on the issue dammit. Tired of representatives lying to get elected or doing heel turns or chickening out.
If only we had a Congress that could do 2 things at the same time
And Vichy Democrats wonder why their approval rating is down in the Mariana Trench. Fuck this damn party
US democracy dies cause Dems can’t/won’t fight effectively or message appropriately.
Really? It looks to me like US democracy dies because a majority of Americans voted for the overt fascists, largely based on disinformation, propaganda and prejudice, and helped along by a dollop of voter suppression.
Correct me if I’m wrong, I’m not American.
The only correction is that a plurality of voters that voted voted for the overt fascists.
Neither candidate won a majority…
A huge swath of Americans eligible to vote failed to vote at all largely based on disinformation, propaganda and prejudice, and helped along by a dollop of voter suppression.
Y’all, is it possible that both parties are fucking terrible and don’t give a shit about anyone but themselves?
Remember these cowards names when they are asking for your vote. They don’t care about you or this country and we don’t fucking care about your political future.
I wrote my congresswoman and told her she lost my vote over this.
This is fucked up. I’m so pissed! You know what will get the results I want? Let’s sit and do nothing during the midterms! I’m sure that’ll pressure them to change their ways!
/s for the those gifted ones incapable of telling without an explicit statement.
The article of impeachment failed miserably. So many Democrats voted Nay. It was a complete waste of everyone’s time. Why can’t the Democrats find something more productive to do?
