Got another message: Apparently it’s Rick Scott’s measure, for a national day of remembrance for Charlie Kirk, and it’s set to be voted on in early afternoon. Call your Senators and ask them all to object! And ask them to say that Charlie Kirk had bad values and deserves no honors.
National day of remembrance for Charlie Kirk motion passed the Senate by unanimous consent. Zero Democrats objected, which would have stopped it. Tommy Tuberville is presiding — and smirking. www.c-span.org/networks/?ch...
Confirmation from Axios. This is unacceptable lack of fight from Senate Democrats. It passed via unanimous consent, and any Senate Democrat could have objected.
Sorry, I'm already booked, celebrating National Chocolate Covered Insects Day. www.checkiday.com/479263ac959e...
The Democrats are happy to surrender. They're unwilling to deal with the blowback they'd get from the right by standing up to this administration. Not one willing to put themselves on the line for truth.
Meanwhile, @crockett.house.gov is doing the right thing! Good for her.
Now there's a Charlie Kirk Day of Remembrance resolution in the House. The question is whether House Dems will vote for it. Many are arguing they should all vote NO. But @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is reportedly voting YES, to honor Kirk. Why? @andrewsolender.bsky.social:
Jeffries refuses to meet the moment. It’s his most consistent trait.
It's almost as if there's a little bit of the Clarence Thomas thing going on here. Full denial! Praise the racist because, "Look, there's nothing to be racist at over here."
Bc he sucks.
Jeffries is a clown. If they win the House he’ll be a terrible Speaker of the House
"House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said in Democrats' closed-door caucus meeting Thursday morning that leadership will vote for the resolution" This is the deepest idiocy. If a Democrat — if the Democratic leadership — cannot justify to the public voting no, they should resign.
@whipkclark.bsky.social and @aguilar.house.gov are #2 and #3 below Jeffries. They too know this is wrong and they know its a loser move to vote yes. Here's the full House D leadership list:
The Senate should have proposed an alternative that condemns all political violence, recognizes freedom of speech and affiliation, and also honored the Hortmans. But they are continuously uncreative and not. brave, so here we are sliding ever further into dear leader's lap.
Why didn't they call for gun control to force the Magat's support - a missed opportunity. Again.
@tedlieu.bsky.social is in leadership. He is the vice chair of the House Democratic Caucus. He knows this is wrong. He should buck Jeffries.
Followup from today. We knew the unanimous consent request was coming hours before— see my first post. D’s had plenty of time to get one Senator to the floor to block it. Also, Tuberville was smirking because HE DID THIS all the time against Dems: objected to UC.
Jeffries is clouded by AIPAC. The Democratic core rejects his leadership. I, for one , will not support the party with him failing at every turn. The same for Chuck Schumer. They must step down before it's to late. Read the room. Jfc
This is the biggest strawman to ever strawman, man: "Do you agree that CK worked to elevate truth and foster understanding?" "Nope." "THIS REP VOTED THAT SHE'S GLAD HE WAS KILLED." Dem leadership could have done a thing, but - actually, that's the title of this chapter in the history book.
When you’re so lame you can’t even win at calling fascist bigots fascist bigots. Just a completely fucking worthless caucus.
Cowards. This is a travesty by House leadership.
"If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified." – Charlie Kirk, The Charlie Kirk Show, 23 January 2024 "Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America." – Charlie Kirk social media post, 8 September 2025
This is how dems lose any hope of getting me back. They are beyond useless.
Are they proposing a Herman Cain Day, too? No? No, of course not 🙃 Because the point isn't genuine appreciation and remembrance, is it? The point is a timely excuse for heavy-handed oppression of the first amendment.
Fuck that
Because aipac
Behold, the real leader of the opposition in the House
Oh......
@slotkin.senate.gov and @peters.senate.gov you’re embarrassments!
No one hates their base the way Dems do. It shows how out of touch and how little fight they have in them that they’re so scared of GOP taunts that they allowed a day of remembrance for a vile shock jock.
Yep. Spineless.
45 Vichy Dems and 2 Vichy Independents chose silence instead of a single one of the Senators demonstrating a small symbol of resistance. America's future looks great, just fucking great.
I don't understand why one of them couldn't have objected in order to amend and add Melissa Hortmann's name to that day of remembrance. Perhaps that's not allowed per procedure, but there is a way to use their bad faith against them.
I am so sick of the new Horst Wessel.
Jesus, they’re gonna name a ship and military base after him at this rate, and Dems will do nothing to stop it
This is the reason the Dems polling are in the fucking toilet
@democrats.senate.gov doesn’t Officer David Rose deserve the same respect? The police officer & vet killed in the CDC shooting last month.
And why hasn’t the plaque for capital police been hung yet? Fuck C Kirk and his hatemongering. Cc: @libradunn1.bsky.social
Sounds like great opportunity to help people remember Charlie Kirk, in his own words. They should be posted everywhere so people can see the values he stood for.
@democrats.senate.gov —read the country. You are an abject disappointment to your constituents and to all of us who are not afraid to take our protests to the streets to defend democracy. What was your pathetic excuse today? There is no moral equivalence. Kirk used his platform to spread hate.
I recommend sending a message to your Senators. It was quite cathartic telling them what I think of their cowardice.
Maybe the day could be repurposed as a memorial to all the children butchered in school shootings, which Mr Kirk called "unfortunate" but but still saw as a price well worth paying for second amendment rights for nutcases to retain access to sniper rifles, assault rifles, etc
Then let's remember him, then ... for what he actually said and did
Spineless chickenshits
I remember him as a racist, misogynist a**hole, I don't need a special day for that. I just see a pic of his stupid face, works every single time.
I'm happy to have an annual day where we remind his wife that her stupid husband dying made us laugh
You want us to keep voting for you useless fucks @democrats.org / @housedemocrats.bsky.social ?
Unanimous consent, what a fucking hack job. Fucking white supremacist douchebags.
Thanks for nothing AGAIN @schumer.senate.gov, you dumb shit.
Wait! Zero Dems opposed it? WTH?
Controlled opposition. They are a treasonous bunch. It’s about time we admit it.
@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov From the safe blue state of Washington
I think we should remember Mr. Kirk by his own words. We can contrast them with the actual teachings of Jesus Christ.
wtf? Sanders votes for it???
Cowards.
I’ll start! I’ll remember Charlie Kirk as a sniveling, wanna be intellectual who married a Handmaid, hated everyone less pale than himself, and advocated forcefully for the madman that killed him to have & keep the gun he used. The sadness I feel is that he’ll never have a chance to repent or grow.
Gonna celebrate National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk by remembering his greatest hit. When he fell on the ground.
The United States really is just the most racist fucking place around atm Not one “progressive” objected to a national day of remember for a white supremacist Fucking garbage
Jfc
I will say, once again, we are in this mess due in significant part to the determination of Democratic leadership to appear at all costs to be "reasonable."
Far from being reasonable, they're coming across as complicit to everything rep do and spineless. Reps come across as shit, Dems come across as shit, but just not as shit as reps.
That's why it's in quotes. They let Nixon off the hook for treason in 68 They let Reagan off the hook for treason in 80 They let Reagan off the hook for Iran-Contra They let Bush off the hook for Iraq They let Trump off the hook for... every goddam thing. No, not reasonable. But they think it is.
Here, here! @democrats.senate.gov
*Hear, hear!
Hear, here!
I’m honestly not being a know-it-all or a troll or whatever I’m telling you this. It honestly is only to help you for next time. That one is “Hear, hear.” Just as an FYI. Have a good one.
* in telling you this
LOL! Good catch! I've been rage-posting and didn't even notice 😂
And also because they supported a holocaust in Gaza and full-throatedly supported police repression against protesters.
I’ve honestly devolved into the assumption that once someone becomes a Dem member of Congress, someone in their caucus takes them aside and reminds them that as long as they mind their Ps & Qs and don’t make much of a fuss, the world’s largest corporations will give them enormous speaking fees to 1/
Appear progressive, and that will be the reward if they bow to the opposition. They’re unwilling to throw away their potential to be rich later on for the values they campaigned on or for their constituency. I’m basically just assuming they say this all out loud because at this point, why not? 2/
Or, just as believable, they get meetings with CEOs who bankroll them while they’re in office as long as they play the game. 🤷🏼♀️ Otherwise I can’t understand why they do this every single time. It’s gotta be money. If they wanted power, they’d be fiery soapboxers but they would lose 3/
Corporate retirement and the promise of golf with the “big boys” for the rest of their lives. 4/4
Follow the money, man. If they play “nice” they continue to benefit.
All establishment Dems need primaried!!
The bar is in Hell and yet somehow these Vichy scum find a way to limbo under it
If the Dems were smart they would introduce the Charlie Kirk Gun Control Act now.
Lol you assume Democrats are smart.
Politically they are challenged
This happens only because Republicans were successful at equating "not celebrating the way Charlie Kirk lived" with "celebrating how Charlie Kirk died".
Honoring the life of a fascist, but not taking action to save the lives of children, both in schools and in Gaza. Outrageous.
Are you fucking kidding me
A national day of remembrance for someone who frequently disparaged people of color & women & suggested stoning gay people? @democrats.senate.gov Why are y'all like this? You see why you lose support? GOP always stand their ground. Why won't YOU do the same when you have the moral high ground?
Can anyone imagine the GOP doing the same for a ''radical leftist"🙄
OMFG
Will there be a national day of remembrance for the two schoolchildren shot minutes later?
"Thursday"
Per CNN, there have been 47 school shootings in the US so far this year, of which 24 in colleges, and 23 in K12. So far, at least 19 deaths. So, a National Day of Remembrance every Thursday is at least the right order of magnitude... edition.cnn.com/us/school-sh...
@warren.senate.gov and @markey.senate.gov, are you kidding me?
Is this real??? If yes, vote anyone who voted for it or failed to vote out of office.
It is all of them!
Zero democrats objected to a day of remembrance for a guy who called for stochatic terrorism against queer people? Fucking democrats. They're the fucking worst.
There is a term for people who call for a day of remembrance for Nazis. The term is Nazis.
I'd be surprised if more than a single digit number of senate dems even knew who he was before he got got. They all strike me as complete know-nothing losers who have never once been out of their bubble.
He was the founder of Turning Point. Even I knew who he was and I'm Irish.
You underestimate how insular politicians can be.
Yeah. That's fair. I guess I just credited them with more awareness of their own political landscape than that.
More fool me.
I have zero faith in any of them because they have failed to meet the moment at almost every turn. So many of them still talk about "bipartisanship" with the fascists who are explicitly attacking everyone they deem to be an enemy, and they aren't even hiding how utterly corrupt they are.
Yeah, that's fair. Democrats have always been the second arm of a singular state body. First past the post is implicitly undemocratic and the way your legistlators allow gerrymandering would make even the British in Northern Ireland during the Troubles balk.
swinging in here like spiderman to remind you that chuck schumer doesn't talk to his constituents, he's invented a family in his head and he talks to them. in his head. he's got tulpas, is what I'm saying. and he's done this since the 90s, so it's not even senility.
@alsobrooks.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov This is NOT acceptable. This is NOT what Maryland sent you to the Senate to do. Shameful.
Contact your Democrat if you have one and ask them whose side they are really on. Do it on social media, so they have to answer publicly. Do it any time they post, anywhere.
What the FUCK
these politicians made their choice and it is on the record
They were pretty much 'blackmailed' and had no options
Are the Dems being threatened? WTF is going on??
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social 😡 A feckless, bloviating caucus of controlled opposition are Democrats. Worse. With all that is sacred in this country --our democratic norms, our intellectual norms-- you sit by and allow this to pass? Zero objections? Senator Chris Murphy. 🖕 You've let me down.
Democrats are Nazis at this point. Good job you fucks. You have no viable party.
@markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov Cool I can leave those boxes blank next time you guys are up.
Then Democratic Party writ large continues to not rise to the challenge of this moment. More like rolling around on the ground helplessly while muttering something about writing a strongly worded letter.
So here’s how legislation gets passed in the trump regime. Appalling. “Some Democrats expressed fear at a closed-door meeting Thursday morning that voting against the resolution would make lawmakers the targets of violence.” Axios
What the actual fuck? You worthless democratic bastards.
@lujan.senate.gov coward
@heinrich.senate.gov coward
Unanimous?!
They're so spineless and complicit. When Emperor Trump dissolves the congress and drops the facade of needing other toothless branches of government, they'll be out of a job and just as vulnerable as the rest of us. Sad pathetic fools who deserve infamy and ridicule.
All of these democrats should be run out of office
If MAGA is so into empathy now, how come no empathy for those Guatemalan kids they tried to sneakily deport in the middle of the night on a holiday, and then lied to a judge about it?
And?
@warren.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov WTH?
Honestly. WTH? Spineless! And they ask us to spine for them?
Such bullshit on the part of the Dems. They’re scared.
God damn it.
You know, we deserve this dictatorship. Fucking worthless democrats.
So we all fly pride flags that day?
This American life is getting more f'ed up every day.On that national day of remembrance, I will be remembering children who were shot in school. On the dems that caved to this, we will remember.
what a fucking clown show. I hate the democrats so fucking much
ffs this democratic party is beyond useless
Good grief 🤦🏻♂️
This makes me want to never vote in another national election. Don’t worry, I always vote, and it’s rare that I actually feel like fuck them all so much I’m never voting for another weakass Dem who won’t even come close to representing the wishes of their constituents
AYFKM????
JFC
what the fuck
What the fuck is wrong with you? @wyden.senate.gov @jeff-merkley.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @adamschiff.com @corybooker.com @amyklobuchar.com
So bipartisan support to celebrate a nazi.
They are scared; I would be too. They know that if they dare say something about the MAGA martyr, it could be dangerous for them and not only politically. It's already over. It can't be stopped with most of the usual guardrails gone. There will be a lot of pain before it gets better.
Primary every democrat who voted for this. Plain and simple. They have to go.
"But that's all of them!!" Oops oh well 🧳
Very much in favor of subjecting basically every Dem in office to a very competitive primary. They need to be reminded who they work for.
Jesus Christ, this is pathetic.
What the actual fuck?
25 September is also the anniversary of the passage of the Bill of Rights by Congress. Celebrate by exercising your 1A rights. Heckle a Republican or ICEpig.
But not for the murdered sitting senator. Disgusting.
It's all good, actually. Let's all remember him, loud and proud, in his own words. All day. All day long.
Has everyone got to be a homophobic racist for the day to honour his memory?...
sure i'll remember him.... as the racist he was!
@coons.senate.gov @bluntrochester.senate.gov Shame on you both!
This is so deeply pathetic
What a joke.
people are gonna talk about how stupid this is but when he got murdered, it was a great time and i would love to remember that moment
Remember him by putting his words on signs and line the roads with them
You have GOT to be f*cking kidding me...
Meh. No one is mandating HOW I have to remember the pigfucker.
Dems are pathetic.
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social You’re among the better Democrats in the Senate, and couldn’t even manage to stand up to this little bit of lunacy? Lunacy I might add that is directed at a demagogue whose views were so vile that they can no longer be publicly quoted or even summarized.
I think he at least stopped voting/giving UC for Trump nominees in the Senate. A real liberal lion, such as they are.
He’s absolute garbage!
All my friends wanted this, right?
I interpret this as nothing less than every Democratic senator signing on to white supremacy and I will vote in primaries accordingly.
I called both my senators. Alsobrooks and Van Hollen. This is outrageous and unacceptable. I’ll happily oust both of these mfs, and Van Hollen can fuck off in his quest for president.
0 Dems objected.. W. T. F. There is no way that an all encompassing ‘something‘ is happening… NFW
*isn’t
The democratic party does not get a dime from me. Only specific candidates.
I'll be taking a big shit that day in remembrance
Take that day and use it to flood the zone with all the completely unhinged, intolerant shit he ever broadcast. They want to remember their boy? OK. Remember all of him.
WTF?? Democrats are cowards.
WTF
Insanity that a fucking podcaster gets a national day of remembrance. Way more deserving of such a day would the balls of the Democratic Party leadership.
Can't remember what never existed in the first place. Throw the whole thing out.
Are they trying to piss us off more? Where's the hope if they just fold?
Every Democrat present in the chamber for that should be flogged
Did the dems vote FOR this?
Yes.
No, they simply did not object.
If we're going to do a national day, then we better have quotes to remember him by, right?
My favourite Charlie Kirk quote is "Gurgle."
The first rule of charlie kirk quotes is you don't talk about charlie kirk quotes
“Black women do not have brain processing power to be taken seriously.” —Charlie Kirk
“Black women do not have brain processing power to be taken seriously.” — @democrats.senate.gov
"If I see a black pilot, I'm going to be like, 'boy, I hope he's qualified.'"
I am ashamed to be an American just a little more than I am ashamed to be a Democrat just a little more than I am ashamed to be a former Christian just a little more than I am ashamed to be a human. #LookingForTheBottom
Democrats could do this shit too. They could put foward the "Charlie Kirk Bill to Prevent Campus Shootings" or something similar. But instead, they do nothing.
Disgusting!
Jesus christ, these fucking people.
Shit. I already celebrated on the 10th, but I guess I can do it again. Are some states gonna reopen fireworks stands to prepare for the big day?
I also smirk when I remember that Charlie Kirk is dead. Good fucking riddance. Wait is that not why he's smirking???
@captmarkkelly.bsky.social coward
@gallego.senate.gov coward
Dems are consistently showing they will do everything possible NOT to get elected again even if America does somehow manage to have free and fair elections
This will be the latest exhibit in my mental museum of NO FEDERALLY ELECTED DEMOCRAT HAS RISEN TO THE CHALLENGE. Senators have the power to deny unanimous consent. They, to the best of my knowledge, haven't exercised this power (please correct me if I'm wrong!).
House members could file tens of thousands of articles of impeachment, and as soon as they're voted down they could submit new ones. There are ways to fight as an opposition - and there is NO will.
Every fucking one of them should get primaried out at the next available opportunity. Every. Single. One.
Dem pols realize they Dem votes, right? Not MAGA votes. Dem votes. And maybe a few voters who never heard of Charlie Kirk.
No Dems wanted to add to this performative nonsense by objecting which would drag it out and keep it in the news.
Yeah just like how they didn't want to be performative when issuing a joint statement and voting unanimously to confirm Marco Rubio even though they didn't have to vote at all.
Yes. God forbid the Dems get on the news doing the obviously correct thing.
We couldn‘t have any of that!
Agreed. Let MAGA clutch their pearls and weep. We have better things to do than give that fucking idiot another thought.
Fight the living not the dead.
You think congressional Dems should participate in honoring that human scum ?
No. But they aren't participating. Maga will honor him the way they want. I believe the less is said about him and the less is argued over him, the more that piece of shit can fade into oblivion where his ideas belong.
Yeah this genius thinking from Dems since 09 about appearing so honorable and sensible to median voters has worked out terrifically Meanwhile, Rs filibuster investigation of J6 for years
You are a mark who has been propagandized into believing the idiocy of Ezra Klein and Matt yglesias
They are participating by not objecting. What makes you think they’ll stop with flying flags at half mast and national days of remembrance? How has playing ostrich and letting them do whatever they want because “we’re ignoring them” worked so far?
It’s just stunning how fans of Dems pretend to not realize this.
No you don’t
So they honored an unrepentant racist, truly the smoothest of moves
He literally chartered the buss to J6 to lynch them lmao
the busses
This is disgusting. Dems may as well be MAGA. They won’t lift a finger to serve their constituents. Ridiculous to honor a cruel buffoon like Charlie Kirk.
do we get the day off?
I'd like a whole week off
Just registered Republicans
shit
😂
National Day of Suck Shit Through A Straw
This is fucking horseshit!
Kirk called for Biden to be executed. Dems in Congress wonder why they are despised by their former voters.
You have got to be kidding me. We are so screwed.
Cowards. Every last one of them.
This is very dumb, but honestly, I don't give a crap about this. This is at the "naming post offices" level of consequence.
It has the same gravitas as National IPA day
the entire "opposition" party going along with a day to commemorate a fascist is pretty consequential actually
Drat.
All scared. Wimpy little pissants. Don’t ever ask me for donations again.
We have no leaders. At all. Why even try to save this schithole country!
Jesus. Even the Washington Generals try to block a shot every now and then. The Democrats are such an embarrassment.
OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD.
Do we get a day off work?
Disgusting.
Weak-ass Schumer and Gillibrand are going to get an angry voicemail from this constituent.
Exhibit #666 - Why Democrats Lose
Dems are just giving it all away now.
Useless fucking party
To Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democrats:
@schumer.senate.gov I don't understand. I don't think I will ever understand. This should have been party line vote. Charlie Kirk called for execution of Biden. What is wrong with Democratic Leadership?
A serious disease called Chickenshittedness.
Political malpractice. If you're going to be calculating and unauthentic, then be smart, do smart things...but they specialize in "meh". Murphy, Pritzker, Walz, AOC, Mamdani, Bernie...there are so many voices resonating that DNC just craps on...
Pathetic. @ossoff.bsky.social where you at buddy
What the fuck @vanhollen.senate.gov @alsobrooks.senate.gov you both failed the teat. Opposition means OPPOSE.
Oh, I remember him.
WTAF? He was a hateful bigot. What a bunch of losers.
@markey.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov cowards.
At this point what is even the point of the democrats?
Dems see Trump killing civilians in boats for no reason and invading our own cities and GOP hate speech leading to assassinations and they're terrified, and I get that, but they have to stop being cowards Politics has become the refuge of the weak and it's pathetic
So I have a day where I can remember to spit on his grave yearly?
To be fair Tuberville may be smirking but he is not 100% clear as to why.
JFC. Why do we even have them there if they’re just going to roll over and passively allow our government to officially honor an extremist grifter?! They might as well spit in the face of their constituents.
Exactly!
WE don't have them there.
What????!!!!!
Already contacted my rep who is shamefully on this list.
Well that prompted me to make an extremely angry call to @wyden.senate.gov; I tried @jeff-merkley.bsky.social, but there was no pick-up. What the hell is wrong with these people?
There's nothing wrong they just benefit from it.
I left messages at both of their offices and gave Merkley a very "I was thinking about donating to your campaign and now I probably won't" piece of my mind.
The carpet team…….anybody could Walk on😎☝️
Embarrassing
Honestly who cares. Why even show up for the vote?
I think it’s well beyond time for Democrats to get off the high road.
democrats are complicit.
Excuse me for a moment while my head explodes.
@booker.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social @padilla.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov ☝🏽🤬🤬🤬 What the hell are you doing??
I have been a loyal Dem voter my whole life. I’ve known Repubs were wannabe fascist dictators before the 2000 elections, but I will never forget this group of Dems for failing to step up in even the most marginal way. They have never once held the line for us.
It's a bitter truth I've had to accept myself. They are not on our side.
Came to that realization too
Agree. It's a tough pill to swallow. But I do get my rage out when I respond to the 197,837 daily texts begging for money for Dems.
It’s like they are sitting around smoking cigars and throwing money and the Constitution into the fire with their GOP “colleagues”, snickering, while writing “strongly worded letters”.
The only solution is militant class struggle.
I voted for the first time in 1998. I voted Democrat every time. Every time, I've been told by them that "now isn't the time" to take this progressive action or to defend that group's rights. They openly capitulated with fascists until actions finally forced them to write sternly-worded letters.
My first vote was in 2000, and I had to watch the Dems just roll over and give up when SCROTUS stopped counting the votes so they could decide who won the election. They didn't even try to protest, they just took it. They're so pathetic and weak
And then I'm told that it's MY fault we lost? I voted for Clinton. I voted for Harris. For Obama twice. I refused to do it without voicing criticism but I still fuckin did it. And now we're here. Never again "blue no matter who". Never red but also never just because they're blue.
I never in a million years thought I would say this, but at this point I have almost no interest (almost) in even voting anymore. It clearly means all of jack shit. Maybe I'll just vote Green/other or something, IDK...
And I get several requests daily for campaign donations but these pricks can’t even protect the right to vote. They are rich enough to fund their own campaigns. Not a penny from me. Never again.
And what would’ve blocking it gotten them, Eric?
Not having to set a holiday for a racist podcaster.
And the GOP would make hay about obstructionist democrats hating free speech and the media would run with it and make sure that’s all the normies took away from it.
Who gives a fuck? They arent interested in bipartisanship at all, and elevating a white supremacist is a bad look to their base, obviously.
And they continue to lie at an unprecedented rate.
So what does the "hay" even matter.
Define their base.
The democrats base, stupid.
And a “national day of remembrance” is not a holiday.
Great work, you beat fascism
“GOP would make hay about obstructionist democrats hating free speech” So like they do all day every day for the past 50 years? But hey I’m sure they’ll pat you on the head for being a good boy.
I dunno, I can kinda see it. Every September 12th we remind each other about a man that conservatives consider a hero. We go over the things he said, and what he believed. And what happened to him. An annual reminder of all that might be useful to some people.
10th, 12th, whatever
All days are basically the same day now.
Senate democrats aren't ready to fight. I guess its now clear that unless people take the streets in mass to save it, the US we know are dead.
I'm curious how many of them were absent and unable to object, versus complying against the desires of their constituents?
I personally feel that being absent from a vote is going against the desires of their constituents. That's literally the whole job they were elected for.
That's assuming they chose to be away when they were capable of attending, as opposed to being sick or en route to some important meeting while this got snuck through behind their backs, IDK. There's plenty of fair reasons, same as the rest of us. I DO wanna make sure their absence could be fair.
I'll need to see a note from their doctor then.
Not another donated dollar to @democrats.org until meaningful changes are made to direction and leadership!! This is what they are remembering:
Fucking pathetic
Weak, spineless and worthless.
Gtfoh
WTF? Dems are so afraid of backlash that NOT A SINGLE ONE objected to a "day of remembrance" for a bigoted hateful podcaster???
Unfuckingbelievable (sorry, mom)
New York Senator Washington numbers: Kirsten Gillibrand Tel. (202) 224-4451. Chuck Schumer Phone: (202) 224-6542 Please call their offices. And please be nice to their staff. It's not their fault that our senators are spineless cowards.
I called my Senators. Their staff is so nice. They have no idea why the senators did this. I am so heartbroken.
I'm looking to find the voting record because my Senator's office knows nothing of it. Any ideas of where I can find this information? I've been looking. Thanks!
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Does it go to the house of reps next?
😡
What the Actual Fuck is wrong with you @schumer.senate.gov?
Could we get a ~day of remembrance~ for all the kids murdered at school to serve Charlie's bloodthirsty god? Or for all the people killed by police in the US? No? They're just going to do one for a neo-Nazi propagandist who died as a direct result of his own stupid ideology? Well I'm not.
I will be having a day of remembrance for all the immigrants who have been unjustly apprehended, incarcerated, and in some horrific cases died in custody, murdered by the thugs and goons employed by this offensive administration.
What a sad, unproductive country.
Good to know we live in a country that officially honors a racist, misogynist, homophobic fascist who advocated violence.
Condemning the act by which he died would have been fine, honoring the man himself is disgusting.
pardon me, but... HOW ABOUT A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE FOR ALL THE CHILDREN WHO HAVE DIED FROM GUN VIOLENCE!?
They gonna hang that sign honoring the Jan 6th cops any time soon?
@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov fuck you both useless motherfuckers
This is insane.
I will not be honoring Charlie Kirk with a day of remembrance. It was awful that he was murdered, like all murders are awful, but he was not someone to admire.
Exactly. It was awful but I'm not gonna honor that racist, bigot either.
I do not think we are alone there.
I am really angry that they are trying to canonize him. He was an asshole. Even assholes should not be murdered. But they should not be given honors by the US government.
What in the actual FUCK is going on with the Democratic party?? WTF is Hakeem Jeffries doing??
They're protecting their own class interests. Democrats aren't on our side.
It's a class war. Not left vs. right but up vs down.
My friend in Christ all you did was say "its not left vs right it's left vs right" because the 'up' people are very much solidly on the right, while the 'down' people actively organizing and fighting are very much solidly on the left, because "up down left right" all correlate to money and power.
I'm so glad to see more people helping educate people out of the bullshit of Limbaugh's lie that our culture just swallowed whole. The conflation and simplification of political terminology in this country is one of *many* reasons we're here, right now.
You're right, Dems aren't left, but the right wants us to think that (and they frame it as "left vs. right"). It's more like the Dems in congress go along with the right-wing because they care more about money and votes than people. Sorry, I wasn't thinking when I said that.
You're good, homie. Dems have done their part convincing us that they are the left and they are looking out for us. The Democratic Party is very much a right wing party and always has been.
Its class war left and down vs right and up.
Jeffries is not a Senator
But he has already said he will vote for it in the house.
This is absolutely nothing new for Jeffries or the Congressional Dems.
It’s the Senate! Jeffries is Dem leader in the House
It's Congress. thehill.com/homenews/hou...
So both House and Senate. Okay then on the special day, we all need to make Kimmel our profile picture and post quotes and video of him
They are all guilty. High treason!
@wyden.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov @hirono.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social very disappointing from all of you. Kirk was a Christo-fascist racist piece of crap no one kind will miss him
Time to primary every single one of these motherfuckers.
this is way too flattering of a portrait of him
But it does make him look like Morrissey, which is a great sideswipe.

Shame on you Sanders! I’ve called your colleagues traitors more than once, but never imagined you would be one of them!
You too, Van Hollen?
He knows it's over
What? Majority of this country did not even know who Kirk was before last week.
And didn't WANT to. Another propagandist.
Primary all of them, assuming we actually elections next year
Fuck that!!! Kirk was reprobate! I'm done with the Dems too!!!😡
These fucking people have learned NOTHING
If it had been a figure on the left who was assassinated, Republicans would have a day honoring the shooter.
Do they really want us to remember this guy? I didn’t know how bad he was until I saw quotations from his past after his death. Who on earth would want to be remembered for such things? Besides, adulation for a 31 yo whose big accomplishment was stirring people up against each other is ridiculous.
I saw this too late to ask them to object, but they wouldn’t have anyway. They want to keep their jobs & kickbacks & corporate sponsorships. But I just left messages conveying my outrage at this reprehensible act. Again, it won’t do any good. We the people need to be the ones to effect change.
All they had to do was try to add the school kids killed in CO that same day. Then there’s a basis to object if too cowardly otherwise. And put the Rs in their own bind.
He wants to set it for October 14: www.rickscott.senate.gov/services/fil...
No holiday for 9/11 but one for Kirk is one of the wildest things ever imo
Unfortunately my dumb senator is dumb rick scott
But Doctor, my senator *is* Rick Scott 😔
