Ugh! The spineless Rethuglicans only stand up to tRump when they are on their way out! This slush fund must be stopped at all costs. Do not let up on them! Call, email., & write these spineless sycophants
I think Wonkette is making a mistake in not getting an early start on Julia Lettnow. I'm getting strong Joni Ernst vibes from her. Also, she got into Congress when her husband, the actual Representative, suddenly died. Officially, it was from Covid, but it would be irresponsible not to speculate about the involvement of a rather thick and heavy pillow. She has ambitions.
If we do away with Jus Soli or Birthright Citizenship, please make it retroactive. Then the only citizens will be people like me who can trace their ancestry back to before the Revolutionary War. The Trumps therefore are not citizens. It would also mean that nearly ALL Native Americans and most African Americans, would be citizens, but only a fraction of Whites, as most Europeans arrived here Post-Revolution, I've "thought" about this for some time, and tell all my African American friends that they need to start really pushing the fact that they have "Seniority"
My husband's family (therefore MY family, although I'm only second generation) have lived in the Carolinas since before this was a country; one of his ancestors fought with Francis Marion in the Revolution. And there's no way I'm getting deported to Belarus or Austria; we Jews weren't exactly welcome in either country.
What, and get rid of the Irish? Seriously, though, the Irish migration following the Potato Famine changed the ethnic (and political) makeup of the U.S.
And if you get rid of the Maltese there goes Mayor Pete.
I routinely stop by a few news sites first thing in the morning to check on the latest Trump stupidity. He never fails to produce. This morning No exception. How can one man jam so many dumbass moves into one day? Sigh :-(
"Oh well. You knew he was a snake when you invited him in, now didn’t you?"
*Sigh* When will MAGALand figure that one out?
Also, my kid lectured me a bit earlier this week on how maligned real snakes are, and that I should find another way to disparage people. *Sigh* I figure by the time my kid reaches 28-30, it will be astonishing to Kid how much I've learned.
Most people have an innate dislike for snakes because they can kill yer arse! I fully understand that they do play an important role in the ecosystem, but I still don't like 'em
"got out of town to take the week of Memorial Day off"
I missed my chance when I was younger. Instead of earning an honest living I should have run for Congress. The time Congress spends in DC is redunkulous:
> "The U.S. House of Representatives was in legislative sessions an average of 160 days a year between 2007 and 2024, while the Senate averaged slightly more days. For comparison, the average American worker clocks around 240 days on the job each year with the standard two weeks of vacation and federal holidays." https://www.history.com/articles/why-does-congress-take-so-many-recesses
The excuse for such a short work period is a tad lame:
> "What do Senators and House members do when they’re not in Washington, D.C.? They call the time in their home states “district work periods,” not vacation. Legislators meet with constituents (state fairs are popular), travel for international conferences and raise campaign money." ibid
* The fuck they're not on vacay most of the time away from DC.
* These days more and more Congresscritters are doing everything they can to avoid Town Halls; the RINOs so they won't have to face the increasing number of disgruntled voters and rationalize the unrationalizable kowtowing to a sick, demented, doddering old man, the Dems so they don't have to explain why they're sitting in corners sucking their thumbs rather than do what is expected from the minority party -- fight for what's right.
* Personally, I'm sick and tired of paying for international travel to attend conferences where all they do is fluff their feathers and burnish their international chops so they can look more important and knowledgeable than they are.
* Why the fuck should the taxpayers pay a salary for time spent raising campaign funds?
* I expect Congresscritters to work at least as many days as the average worker clocks (the denizens of C-Suites and those one or two ranks below do not count on being "workers").
I simply adore how they keep talking about folks who assaulted cops but fail to mention they were also trying to overthrow the government and hang Mike Pence...it just happens that they failed in the attempted coup.
Every member of congress who still voted for the coup attempt after huddling in fear needs to be barred from ever holding any public office again. As does their leader, the guy who directed them to do an insurrection.
Trump's head didn't 'splode over no ballroom money, huh? I mean, at least not yet. The Houses of Congress not giving Trump what he wants RIGHT NOW I hope is upsetting him greatly, it's ketchup on the wall time!
Ta, Dok. Snake LIBELZ!!1!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've had numerous pet snakes, but never even considered a pet MAGAt.
Too big for snek food.
And they're known to be vicious when cornered or challenged.

Senate Republicans didn’t have enough votes Thursday to pass their own filibuster-proof reconciliation bill
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaah
Once again Dok, we, the filthy fuck a ducks, thank you for kittehs instead of congressmen. Always and forever appreciated.
Like minds.... I started using "droogs" 4 days ago to describe these fucks that will get money from the slush fund: https://bsky.app/profile/samrosenthal.bsky.social/post/3mm5uyskx6c23
They are all Dim, though. Or they are Dim and Pete as cops.

Not fair to average it back to 2007. There are certain years where congress worked more than others.
Will give you one good guess as to which party was in charge when they worked more.
I simply adore how they keep talking about folks who assaulted cops but fail to mention they were also trying to overthrow the government and hang Mike Pence...it just happens that they failed in the attempted coup.

139 repugs voted for the coup.
I THOUGHT SHE CHANGED HER NAME TO 'ROCKY TENURE'
US intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard leaving post after rocky tenure
Whelp, back to kidnapping Dalmatian puppies.
Good news, finally. I wonder who she'll be selling our most sensitive secrets to. Surely Putin gets them first.
Her whole "Hair Donor" promise never took root.
I suspect some bad shit might be coming out about her. Although, they're good at suppressing information from a somnolent press.
For sure there’s no good shit.
Why, did she weird out the Emperor when she offered to eat his toenail clippings?
🤢
Trump’s spider hole bunker ballroom, from which hellish fart filled tomb he will stab at we, whenever his jig is up.
Confused kittehs!
