My very same thought.
Could be friends and neighbors. 👇
It's supposed to be impeachment, conviction, and removal, but that ain't happening.

"Words are cheap; deeds are precious." Your empty suit grandstanding achieved nothing except for garnering some ephemeral personal aggrandizement. Senior Democratic leadership in Congress is increasingly impotent with each passing day. And the nation is poorer, weaker, and sicker as a result.
Trump in Iowa? Sounds like a prelude to 2028.
Open the aperture. Qualifying for Medicaid and SNAP while working full-time is obscene and a national disgrace.
I was. Hope every other vet was watching, too.
Keeping with the theme 👇
My thought exactly
For a sense of scale: 58,000,000 acres is 90,625 square miles. The entire state of Minnesota is 86,936 square miles including its lakes and waterways. Once this wilderness is lost, it's lost forever, and the surrounding lands will be similarly impacted.
Two sides of the same coin - fascist theocracies.
IMO, an irrefutable threshold would be the employment of non-conventional weaponry.
When fact is fiction, and TV reality.
It isn't training; it's textbook indoctrination.
Thanks for sharing.
The projection is profound.
Wilderness lost is lost forever.
If it can happen to anyone, it can happen to everyone. Let think sink into your soul for a moment.
Can a Brazen Bull be too far removed?
And Jesus talks to Speaker Johnson.
Annie and Dave at the top of their game.
For far too many, the answer is predicated on the religion(s) of the aggressor and the victim.
Efrén is a national security threat to the United States only when he and coworkers do not show up for work.
Taco and Taco Belle
AKA Taco Belle.
Exactly, as the country fumbles its way toward a fascist theocracy by way of White Christian Nationalism.
Vought
Lunacy? Perhaps. Yet, it's another, ongoing step towards the normalization of deploying armed forces domestically.
Conversely, the USSC opined on July 1, 2024 that these official Presidential actions were almost certainly not illegal.
I view with concern that today's proceedings may well look quaint before summer ends.
Or Taco Belle
Summarily, they're both challenged with ED - everything dies.
Making America Go Alone
Glad you like it. Here's a really deep cut, as they used to say, from Dream Police with a great bass intro and a much harder edge:
Another CT classic:
One of my all-time faves and most apropos for this platform: (Dickey and Duane are amazing swapping leads and in tandem on this gem.)
I would have figured you for another Van classic. 😉 youtu.be/UfmkgQRmmeE?...
What a wonderful photo.
Everything of value will be sold, legally and illegally. It is Trump's America.
I won't be watching with you.
Pot meet kettle. You had one job. One job. To vote. You failed. You didn't even show up.
And no Clint Eastwood, Sean Connery, and Burt Lancaster movies.
Making Alcatraz Great Again 🤦
Complicit
The Kerr Family are no strangers to danger and adversity.
their not there. 🤦 Dunning-Kruger validated, again.
So much winning - for China.

Fun with homophones.
Invest a little time and read the entire thread. 👇
. . . and the banality of evil is insidious and relentless.
Billion dollar babies.
Louisiana lawfare, and that's why they're being sent there.
Sicker, Poorer, Weaker, as a people and a country.
Good luck with that. *Sarcasm ☝️
Elections have consequences.
Their religion. Their liberty.
Not deranged, it's dangerous to us all.
Impending doom for family farmers. Potential boom for Big AG.
Making America Go Alone
Watch Iran now that Ramadan is over.
I very much want you to be correct. ☝️ That's the most optimism I'm able to muster after the past few months.
Poorer, weaker, sicker
And Frost.
No Schumer. No Jeffries. And they wonder why Democratic favorability is at an all-time low. Zero leadership by its party's leaders.
Congress
Making America Graceless Again
Why must we choose?
A word worthy of renewed use - trumpery. It's so apropos.
Your "Capitulate Then Complain" strategy to save America is a political failure. Speaking of political failures.
💯. Many folks view cinema & literature exclusively through today's perspective. Yet, if you consider the time and contemporaneous events & social norms, these like movies, books, newspaper & magazine articles are profound & often groundbreaking. (Mr. Smith was released after Poland was invaded.)
I agree, and that was 86 years ago. At least, back then, Frank Capra would ensure American ideals were victorious. Today's reality looks decidedly different.
In reverse order, IMO, most of the other 9 are positioning themselves for more senior positions regardless of the consequences. Schumer hasn't changed. He's always been loyal to benefactors and Wall Street. Harry Reid is likely rolling over in his grave for turning the Senate to Schumer.
We're a universe away from Mr. Smith Goes To Washington.
Every single Senate Democrat has agreed to unanimous consent more than 500 times since January 20th. That's is expediting the White House's agenda. They do not demand quorum calls. That'd be inconvenient and interfere with their colleagues schedules & their own office meetings. Club collegiality.
My opinion on the first idea only solidified after listening closely to Senator Schumer for weeks. He consistently responds to the administration's outlandish (read, illegal) actions with faux outrage and his vision to sweep the mid-term elections. IMO, the same calculus used to vote for cloture.
1. Senate Democrats are convinced they shouldn't stand in the way of the Republicans destroying everything in sight. As such, Senate Democrats believe that they will be held harmless & will succeed in 2026. 2. It's about collegiality - not objecting to unanimous consent & not demanding quorum calls.
Now, DOGE will officially have a role in election security.
And the Grey Old Lady can't blame an algorithm for this disparity. As the de facto paper-of-record for many folks, the NYT's editorial choices do create a perception and, in turn, an artificial reality.
It's all a kakistocracy.
It's likely been curtailed, already. Unfortunately, you don't know what you don't know. Consequently, INTEL shared, or not shared, through FVEY reciprocity or other information sharing agreements is predicated on trust. We can't be trusted, so we're less informed, less safe, and at greater risk.
Vought's handiwork will ensure many decades-long damage to the civil service and the USG.

I had to check. We can all have one, too.
Ditto
It's a kakistocracy. Everything else is on point.
No, it's not too early, but those who cannot hear must feel.
Well said, and we're more than neighbors; we're family. If you are a follower of an Abrahamic religion or an evolutionary adherent, we're all cousins. Once more, we are all cousins. That makes every one of us part of the same family.
I ❤️ Australia
@mcuban.bsky.social ☝️
Stop with the confirmations. Stop with the unanimous consent. Demand votes. Demand quorum calls. This capitulation then complain strategy is beneath you. Use the power vested in you as s U.S. Senator to delay, deny, and obstruct the ongoing destruction of America. No more collegiality.
Hey Pot, meet Kettle. ☝️ Senator, when you point your finger, there's always 3 fingers pointing back at you. You, Sir, are clearly not to the job as leader of anything. Typically, the best advice is to lead, follow, or get out of the way. You clearly are unable to fulfill any of the 3 options.
Collaborator Klobuchar has a plan to save America - capitulate then complain.
Collaborator Klobuchar continues to confirm White House nominees. Capitulate then complain - that's Amy's plan to save Democracy. She is not only knowingly, willingly supportong the destruction of the U.S. government; she's expediting it. Never objects to unanimous consent. Never a quorum call.
These posts are akin to trolling. This Senator's fireside chats interpreting the news for us while the U.S. Government & American democracy are a dumpster fire illustrate his voter dissonance. Now, it's just about his personal vainglory. Failed leader. Failing politician. He fails. We lose.
