58. I am beside myself with anger

Sun Jan 26, 2025, 04:01 PM

Sunday

with our "leadership"; I get that the Pukes likely had the votes to get her through, but these votes undercut the message that Trump is nominating the most extreme fanatics ever. Once again, Dem leadership seems more interested in showing that "they will work with the president" than in demonstrating how extreme these fascists are across the board. And please don't start with me that we couldn't have won any way. Fighting on all fronts with strong consistent messaging: lays the foundation for when Trump overplays his hand; AND helps keep morale up in the rank and file. Pukes know this and do it well. How many of Biden's or Obama's cabinet nominations got SEVEN (!) Puke votes?
