But Republican "leader"-ship in Congress is just comprised of Trump followers, as they long ago abdicated any of their Constitutional authority and responsibility to be a co-equal branch of government that could think for themselves. They're not patriots so much as grovelers.

since the Harry Reid days.

I know I'm sick of the inaction, the silence, and the carrying on like this is fucking normal.

ICE's budget? (heavy sarcasm) - wait, seven Democrats voted for that already. WHEN will our leaders learn you have to stand up to a bully????

that this is a war to the finish. There will be no quarter if the MAGAts prevail.

They can't seem to shake themselves from the old comfortable routines. Trump killed all that deader than a door nail.

They talk about what they think the American people want. The fact is they really have no clue what the American people want. Effectively what we want is a revolution that puts the needs of the many ahead of the greed of the few.

First they came for the Latinos, then etc., etc., and finally they came for them.

I'm done with the red/blue dichotomy.

We need the leadership of the free states and cities in this nation to coordinate to fight back far more effectively and forcefully.
