Come on, no one is this dumb. The senators knew they'd do this from the moment they voted to confirm. This is just premeditated political backtracking to fix as much damage as they can now that they've received their reciprocal favors.
Indeed. Any Democrat who voted for that piece of shit should be primaried.
Better, they should resign, go home, and self-immolate.
Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhaahahahahaha
Do nothing democrats holy shit my god I can’t breathe
America is hopeless
Yooo, Democratic Senators, fuck youuuu!
Signed, an independent US citizen who has repeatedly voted for your shitty controlled opposition candidates because it was glaringly obvious to me SEVERAL YEARS AGO that anything Trump brings to the table is significantly worse for humanity than your bland business as usual.
Like, Trump was so, so bad that in retrospect it makes more sense that HE was the controlled opposition so that status quo capitalist corporate democrats could win their elections and keep the people “happy enough” while letting the elites play their games.
But no. Now he is much worse, mask-off, nominating unqualified morons and traitors to help administrate the federal government, and you fuckups in the “at least we aren’t an openly bigoted death cult” party did not stop it in cases where you could have.
trump was
Literally a plot by the clinton campaign, yes. They thought he'd be an easy win, even for her, after ratfucking sanders.
i hope you get to tell this to a tribunal that tries you for cooperating with fascists once this is over
Good morning, idiots. Did it never cross your little minds that a Trumpist candidate could be anything but pure shit on legs?
Exactly. This is why I have so little respect for Democrats these days. They go on TV and call red alert and say Trump is awful and Trump is horrible and we all have to do everything we can to oppose Trump, and then they go ahead and rubber stamp his candidates and his agenda, refusing to use political options that are very much open to them create the opposition they are so loudly claiming is necessary.
If Trump is truly that awful, they could simply refuse to confirm his candidates, make them fight tooth and nail and bargain with them for every single vote.
But they did not. So the only conclusions are either a, they did not actually feel Trump was awful and all the red alert press conferences were just performant political theater, or b, they have not actually stood up for real principle or wielded real power in so long they don't remember how to do it.
IMO, it was performative. I think the Democratic Party for the most part is controlled opposition for the owner-class. It's foolish to continue to support them, or really any facet of this oppressive government.
Clean 'em all out and let's build anew.
Yup. We need a new party, with the goal of overhauling the political system so that we aren't stuck with Geronocrats nor Turdpublicans. First past the post has led to being forced to choose between a log and diarrhea.
Is there a route for impeachment? I'm sure it won't go anywhere with the Republicans in control of house n Senate, but at least get it on the record and get the country talking about her incompetence and psychopathy and how someone so unqualified ended up in that position
Embarrass the enablers as much as possible.
There aren't even close to enough votes to impeach.
You are probably correct. It should still be proposed. Get it on the record and get the country talking about her incompetence and psychopathy and how someone so unqualified ended up in that position
Embarrass the enablers as much as possible.
WTAF. This is some real Susan Collins type of energy.
Did they furrow their brows? Wring their hands?
Too fucking bad.
Your regret is worth no more than any regret expressed by US voters who voted for Chump.
Like those US voters, you knew what you'd get, you were warned, you were told, and you ignored all of that and did it anyway for whatever chickenshit reasons you may have had at the time.
Fuck. Right. Off. Shove your "guilt/regret/whatever" straight up your collective ass.
Fucking tired of Dems "saying the right things" and saying it too late when they can't undo what they did and are simply attempting to rehabilitate their reputation. You have no reputation to rehabilitate, you ultimate performative cowards.
🤦♀️ 🤡 🫏 🖕 💩
"We wouldn't had confirned her if we knew about her massive cocaine habit."
Oh my fucking god the DNC is so goddamn feckless. It damages my calm whenever I think about it.
the DNC is as hostile to the american people as Republicans are. Its time to stop pretending they arent, the DNC is just a weaker, more pathetic arm of the RNC
I'm half convinced the DNC is a conservative psyop
The Democrats are a conservative party. They want to get back to the days when the parties had no ideological differences and were just clubs that voters picked personalities they liked most.
That ended during the progressive era, when some politicians (in both parties) got ideas about making the country better for working class people. The Republicans had more friends that were rich as fuck so they started propaganda campaigns among Republican voters and the progressive Republicans were primaried out of office.
Now the Democrats are stuck with the leftist label they don't really want. Some of their voters do, but only some. American voters want leftist policies to be enacted but are allergic to leftist politicians and organizing.
As a minority party with essentially no control of anything your only job is to make the majority's job as hard as possible and they couldn't even do that!
Don't worry, as soon as Trump crosses Schumer's red line of disregarding the supreme court the Democrats will spring into action!
.... They'll spring into action any day now
....... Any day now
Democrats: 🦗🦗🦗
DNC has proven their uselessness over and over. You can only send so many strongly worded letters. How many hearing do they need where they berate the person and nothing changes. They are complicit at this point. They are just fine with everything that is happening. All they do is theater to show how “upset” they are.
We need a general strike
We need an opposition party
We need to arm ourselves
Ya don’t say…..
“I’m very disappointed. I’m very disappointed in her,” Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., told NBC News this week.
What timeline had you excited about her?
Wow who could have seen this one coming from 6 months away? Certainly not everyone except establishment Democrats.
Primary these useless fuckers.
I can’t even read this shit anymore. I’m almost more furious with the Democrats than the republicans at this point. Every single nominee should have been a knock-down, drag-out fight. We’d be better off with an empty cabinet than the array of lickspittles and lunatics in there now.
It’s really bad when Tulsi Gabbard is one of the only trustworthy people in the administration.
She shot a puppy for acting like a puppy.
What part of that makes you think she's a sane and rational human being able to run a huge government organization and not want to cause harm to fellow humans?
She's fucking broken just like the rest of them.
They were looking for reciprocal support. Only they also don't have the guts to raise any issues thay could use it for.
These idiots whore themselves out for some meaningless perks to vote in someone that killed their puppy because it didn't fetch. They're realizing the perks weren't worth it and trying to earn some sympathy which makes it so much worse. The ones that aren't saying anything are sitting fat and happy roasting marshmallows over this dumpster fire.
What a mov of spinelss shits.
If they want to say they're sorry, there are more meaningful ways: resignation, or better yet, seppuku. Self-immolation is not recommended since it adds to air pollution.
Yeah no fucking shit
