Tired

[Bruce @FireNewz]

🚨 Hear me out…

I’m sick of pretending this is a functioning country with a functioning government.

Congress is not “divided.” It’s not “gridlocked.” It’s not “just politics.” It is a criminal class of 535 people who have spent decades selling this country piece by piece while lecturing the rest of us about democracy, values, and the rule of law.

They pass spending bills they don’t read. They pile debt on people who weren’t even born yet. They take money from foreign interests, lobbyists, PACs, and industries they regulate, then act shocked when anyone calls it what it is: influence-peddling.

They protect their own. They investigate their enemies. They never investigate themselves with the same hunger.

The worst part isn’t even the money. It’s the moral rot. A government that can lecture parents, churches, and working people about morality while shielding predators, burying files, redacting names, and treating elite sex-crime networks like a scheduling inconvenience has no moral authority left. If the same evidence, the same flight logs, the same sealed names, and the same “we can’t comment” stonewalling applied to anyone outside their class, those people would already be in prison. For this crowd, it becomes “complicated,” “ongoing,” or “not the right time.”

Foreign interference isn’t some abstract threat they discovered last week. It’s a business model. They take the money, take the trips, take the talking points, then wrap themselves in the flag and tell you anyone who notices is a conspiracy theorist.

They will fight harder to protect their donors and their secrets than they will fight to protect the border, the budget, or the people who actually pay for all of it.

I don’t hate “government” as an idea. I hate this government, the one that treats citizens like a revenue stream, treats accountability like an attack, and treats the most disgusting crimes as a club you only get punished for if you’re not connected.
No more polite language.

No more “both sides” anesthesia. If Congress had a shred of honor left, they would open every sealed file, name every protector, cut the foreign cash pipelines, and submit themselves to the same laws they impose on everyone else. They won’t. That’s the point.

They are not public servants. They are a protected class. And the country is rotting under them.

Wow did you hear what those Republican congressmen said to that bad guy in the hearing? Lol man they really ripped him apart. It was so awesome. What’s that? Oh no the bad guy won’t be arrested or charged with any crime or suffer any consequences of any kind at all. No, there will be no follow up on the hearing, no relevant legislation passed in response to it, no changes of any kind made at all ever. But did you see that viral clip of that one senator? He even used a cuss word! A real cuss word! He’s so tough and brave. I’m so impressed. Aren’t you?

[Michael Strickland @Michael4Freedom]

@Patriota_81 Agreed

I have now read this highlighted sentence seventeen times because I assumed I wan't actually reading what was written. Surely my eyes didn't actually read this. Maybe someone accidentally pasted in dialogue from "The Onion." back when it was funny. But no.

She is saying that she delayed reporting a rape because she agreed with the accused, politically.

This is one of those moments where, if your IQ is over 85, your brain quietly excuses itself from the room.

We have apparently reached a point where politics has become the emotional-support animal for basic human survival instincts. "Yes, this person committed one of the worst crimes imaginable against me, but we both liked the same tax policy. Awkward."

If your political identity has become so central that it can outweigh reporting your own rape, congratulations: you hve joined a cult. Cults are famous for making people subordinate reality, morality, and self-preservation to the interests of the group.

I hate cults. I hate them a lot.
They don't ask you to ignore facts all at once: they ask for one tiny compromise after another until one day you discover you're explaining away things that should be absolutely indefensible.

What's sad isnt just that people end up there. It's that many of them don't even realize it. They sincerely believe they're making a principled decision when, from the outside, everyone else is wondering why the obvious isn't obvious anymore.

At least religious cults usually promise enlightenment, salvation, eternal life, or an alien spaceship hiding behind a comet. Political cults dont even offer that. They ask you to sacrifice your judgment, your relationships, sometimes even your own well-being in exchange for cable-news talking points, in favor of a politician who will sell you out for a pack of gum.

That's a spectacularly bad trade.

At some point, "my team" has to lose to "the person who committed a violent felony against me." That's not supposed to be a close game.

No lies detected here, and the whole GOP Senate is complicit.

[C3 @C_3C_3]

The Democrats are electing America hating Communists and the Republicans are worried about the Filibuster Rule.

Think about that…

[C3 @C_3C_3]

A citizen of Trinidad and Tobago overruled the President of the United States on US elections.

Insane.

[C3 @C_3C_3]

President Trump has 101 national injunctions from Judges.

The last 7 Presidents combined had a total of 44.

This isn’t about the law.

This is a judicial coup.

Activists cosplaying as Judges.

[Rep. Anna Paulina Luna @RepLuna]

Congress’s inability to deliver even simple 80/20 wins for the American people demonstrates not only its complete incompetence, but also a blatant disregard for the American people who elected them.

[The Drunk Republican @DrunkRepub]

The only thing Republican voters want the Senate to do is pass the SAVE Act.

The only thing Republican Senators won’t do is pass the SAVE Act.

This is the very definition of “taxation without representation.”

At what point do we toss the metaphorical tea into the harbor?

[Bad Hombre @Badhombre]

Last year, the House passed the No Rogue Rulings Act, reining in federal district judges and ending their ability to issue injunctions outside of the parties involved in a case.

John Thune has sat on it for 439 days.

He has done absolutely nothing to get it passed in the Senate.

[Bad Hombre @Badhombre]

In the span of 24 hours, a federal judge ruled that a governor can’t be investigated for helping illegal aliens stealing taxpayer money evade the law.

Then a foreign-born judge named Sparkle ruled the government can’t verify whether those same illegal aliens are voting illegally.

Then another judge ruled taxpayers must buy illegal aliens and their anchor babies all the junk food they can cram into their shopping carts.

That happened. In that order.

We can either have a country or out-of-control judges, but we can’t have both.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

They didn’t just import voters, they imported judges too

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

Never forget that every one of the criminals in this picture were fully aware that “Trump/Russia Collusion” was a complete hoax that literally constituted a coup attempt against the Constitutional will of the American people.

It’s the worst political crime in U.S. history.

NEVER FORGET.😡

[Steve Ferguson @lsferguson]

Why aren't all 52 Republican Senators calling out Leader Thune for not allowing President Trump to make recess appointments? @SenateGOP

[C3 @C_3C_3]

California is going to take 37 days to count 9 million mail in ballots with 0 of the voters showing ID.

This is totally fine with John Thune.

Think about that.
