When people try to negatively describe me as a moderate I think about how moderates are actually 80% of America. In Congress, we're the principled ones who behave the same way whether or not our party is in power; the ones who actually sell ideas to people who disagree with us.
I think American taxpayers are upset because you took a 7 month family reality show road trip subsidized by the American taxpayer and paid for by corporations you regulate, while not doing your actual job—which incidentally is also paid for by taxpayers who are paying an enormous amount for gas because of a war your boss launched and can’t get out of.
The same Duffys who threw endless fits on national television when Pete was working from our son's ICU bedside are now bragging about their multi-month, taxpayer-funded family road trip while gas and grocery prices soar for American families because of Trump's war of choice. How much more unfocused, unserious, and out of touch can you be?
@ScottJenningsKY If that's true, than why did so much of MAGA fly the U.S. flag upside down during Biden's presidency? Why did they vandalize the U.S. Capitol building?
@JonahDispatch You were absolutely right & as a former Republican, Never Trump, I was right there with you screaming into the abyss, not understanding how and why Dems were in denialism about Biden cognitive state and let it go that far to the point he was the 2024 nominee. He enabled Trump 2.0
In an era that looked as if it might be defined by an American man of depraved cruelty, corruption, and shame, what a magnificent thing the Catholic Church has done. The elevation of an American man of goodness, grace, humility, mercy, and faith to the Throne of St. Peter is moving and momentous for us all.
NBC reports that, shockingly, during his latest Moscow pilgrimage Witkoff met with Putin and his two negotiators alone and without his own interpreter, relying - in breach of protocol - on a locally present one. https://t.co/nutD8D3knJ. However, this seems half the problem (1/n)
Tesla might be done. I don't think there are enough right-wing Tesla buyers to replace the flood of Dems and independents that are abandoning the brand. This is something called capitalism and consumer choice. I'm sure they'll applaud it soon, since, you know, they claim to support the concept.
Donald Trump is taking America out of NATO to join the Warsaw Pact.
Well done, my Republican friends. You have no character, no conviction, and your legacy will be the betrayal of the Greatest Generation's sacrifice.
You are a disgrace and will be remembered for who you are.
putin is a war criminal. i have no problem with the us president (or macron or scholz) talking with him. but under no
circumstances should his crimes be normalized or white washed.
what’s happening right now is a stain on the united states and its role in the world.
Putin is now asking for a new election in Ukraine, conducted in a specific manner that he can influence, so that he can install his puppet and accomplish that which he couldn’t militarily. Nice try, Vladimir. Try holding a free and fair election in your own country first without imprisoning your opponents. You have zero credibility and the United States and Europe will not cave to your ridiculous demands. Recognize and respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and independence, or deal with the consequences. There is an outcome-determinative number of Members of Congress who feel the same, and we are fully prepared to do whatever is necessary to preserve world peace.
@JDVance You confuse grace and forgiveness with consequences and accountability for behavior. As a new Catholic, I'm surprised you don't know the difference. Just as you don't know the difference between a "mistake," and a mindset, encapsulated in a series of comments.
.@SarahLongwell25: “All we're getting right now is a preview of the next four years...Governing is actually for grownups, and Republicans are children who have empowered the richest man in the world to basically tell them what to do via tweet and text.”
