To give you an idea of the level of betrayal we're dealing with here:
>Senate Republicans continued to hold pro forma sessions in order to block President Trump from making recess appointments
>Congressional Republicans failed to codify most of Trump's actions on immigration, refugee policy, TPS, H-1Bs, or the border
>They didn't even formally abolish USAID after Trump defunded it
Aside from the One Big Beautiful Bill, I cannot think of a single legislative accomplishment this Congress delivered for the GOP base who elected them in 2024. In many cases, they thwarted the administration (pro forma sessions are absurd with a GOP White House).
It's like these people didn't want to do anything at all except sit in DC and collect a paycheck.
States do not "go blue," as if won over in a battle of ideas. They go brown, and then remain that way for the rest of eternity in a fallen third world zombie state, like the once great Republican commonwealth of California.
"They told me that you can't end crime all at once because it would hurt the economy. Illicit money is spent legally. You have to stop crime little by little for the economy to catch up.
That sounds great to intellectuals.
The reality is that crime is crime."
So far, the lessons the GOP establishment seems to have learned from the midterms are that they need to:
>Eliminate the rabble-rousing MAGA types from leadership positions in the party
>Gatekeep against anyone under the age of 35 for being too "Far Right"
>Revert the GOP to pre-2015 style "Compassionate Conservatism"
>Pass amnesty and a pathway to citizenship for +20 million illegals
>Escalate the war in Iran
🚨 The results are in. Texas Republican voters didn’t stay home, or switch sides and vote Blue
Republican voters showed up with larger numbers than before. The problem is, Democrats l somehow materialized 1.6 MILLION new voters
Here’s where it gets really corrupt, Democrats somehow pulled higher numbers in Texas for midterms than they did during the 2024 Presidential Election
- Kamala Harris received 4,835,250 Democrat votes in Texas
- Somehow Democrats had 5.2 million voters during this Midterms in Texas
It makes no sense. There is no way, especially when Republicans didn’t switch sides because Republican vote totals actually increased
These results are impossible to believe
Our policies didn’t lose last week. Our party did.
President Trump’s huge victory in ‘24 showed exactly how to win Congress in ‘26.
A populist movement w/ American workers and families at the center could win big.
Congressional Republicans didn’t listen. Democrats did. 🧵
@nygma0451 As someone who played through ME for the first time through the ME collection, I can say ME1 is the best in series because of it RPG elements & story, which ME2 & 3 watered down & just did not feel the same.
The favourite thing about House is the fact that when asked about House's political ideology, Chris Avellone said that while he "wasn't aware of any [particular] ideology, [the developers] didn't usually lean on any specific real world ideologies when crafting characters like him
A prime example of crafting the politics around a character rather than a character around politics like we have nowadays
@basedtweetsonly@ShitpostRock Emulation is not piracy. It’s completely legal & moral to play games on whatever hardware a consumer sees fit. It’s especially ok for abandonware/out of print games
It’s rightfully immoral & illegal to pirate & distribute newly released games instead of buying & supporting them
