I'm so fucking sick of the GOP.
"We can't do anything."
Shut the fuck up. SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.
You have the House. The Senate. The White House. A Supreme Court majority.
The most unified government you've had in years, and you're telling me you CAN'T DO ANYTHING?????
You have RECONCILIATION.
You know, the filibuster-proof tool Democrats used to ram through trillions in spending with FIFTY votes?
It's sitting right there.
Do you morons understand what happens if Democrats take the midterms?
It's over.
Not "tough." Not "a setback."
FUCKING OVER.
Every DOGE cut? Gone. Did you forget you still need to CODIFY THOSE into law?!
Executive orders? Erased.
Regulation cuts? Reversed.
Border policy? Deleted.
Years of work, torched in one election cycle, because you kept saying "we'll get to it" like we gave a DAMN that you "tried".
Guess what happens when Democrats win, dumbasses?
They start passing bills.
They actually DO everything you won't do, for God knows what reason.
You're telling me if they win, they won't NUKE the filibuster ON DAY ONE?!
They've SAID it out loud, repeatedly, on camera!!!!!
Transgender plays in Uganda? Back.
Elmo in Afghanistan? Back.
NPR/PBS funding? Probably DOUBLED out of spite.
ICE? Defunded.
DC and Puerto Rico statehood? Yep.
Court packing? THEY SAID SO THIS WEEK!!!!!
Every single "crazy" thing you swore would never happen becomes a floor vote the second they hold the gavel.
Because THEY actually use power when they have it.
That's the difference between you and them, and it's fucking humiliating.
Meanwhile YOU can't even pass the SAVE Act.
Requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections is an 80/20 issue.
The easiest layup in American politics... and GOD FORBID YOU CHANGE SOME ARCHAIC SENATE RULES TO GET IT DONE because you'd rather have the ISSUE than the LAW.
You won't defund the fucking TALIBAN.
We're still watching taxpayer money leak into Afghanistan and your response is a strongly worded letter and a subcommittee hearing nobody watches.
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?????
Don't tell me there's no time.
The House is scheduled for barely over 100 legislative days this year.
You work a THIRD of the year.
Teachers work more days than you.
AND SOMEHOW you STILL ARE FINDING ROOM FOR EVEN MORE VACATIONS!!!!!!!
GOD FORBID you actually put in some effort.
But no. Instead you give us tweets.
Fox News hits.
Cringe-ass TikToks.
Podcast appearances.
NOBODY GIVES A SINGLE FUCK ABOUT YOUR CONTENT.
Not one of us. Zero.
You're not influencers. You're lawmakers.
So make some fucking laws.
That's the job It's all we've EVER asked you to do.
Trump won't be on the ballot next time to drag YOUR SORRY ASSES ACROSS THAT FINISH LINE.
You really think you can come home, look us in the eye, and recycle the same excuses?
After THIS?
No. Not this time.
The stakes are way too high and our patience is gone.
Completely gone.
Stop telling us what you'd do "if only you had the power."
YOU HAVE THE POWER. RIGHT NOW. TODAY.
If you're too cowardly to use it, then stop fucking asking us for more of it.
...and don't act all shocked when the people you keep taking for granted stop showing up to save you from yourselves.
Every American, whether Republican, Democrat, Independent, or otherwise, should be able to agree that we deserve the most secure, honest, and fair election system anywhere in the world.
Secure elections should not be a partisan issue that divides Americans.
Hillary Clinton’s Open Plea To China
"Since Russia is clearly backing republicans, why don't we ask China to back us?"
She actually said this on live television…
"What advice would you give to someone who's newly married or about to be?"
A profoundly moving moment on Pints with Aquinas as Matt Fradd asks the question to Catholic philosopher Peter Kreeft, who had just lost his wife of over 60 years.
Unforgettable.
In 1982, Robin Williams did a routine as the American Flag for the Norman Lear produced tv special "I Love Liberty" created to bridge political divides - and it's one of the greatest pieces you'll see 🇺🇸
JERUSALEM
After being DENIED entry to the Holy Sepulchre
Cardinal Pizzaballa prayed at Gethesmane, blessing Jerusalem with a relic of the True Cross:
'Today Jesus weeps once more over Jerusalem. He weeps over this city, which remains a sign of both hope and sorrow, of grace and suffering. He weeps over this Holy Land, still unable to recognize the gift of peace. He weeps for all the victims of a war that seems without end: for divided families, for shattered hopes. But the tears of Jesus are never fruitless. They open our eyes, challenge us, and reveal the truth'
Catholic converts in the US have reached a near 20-year high, with Catholics on track to become the largest single religious group, surpassing American Evangelical Protestants.
Protestants as a whole will likely still outnumber Catholics, but the trend suggests the US may be entering a new era of religious leadership.

According to Catholic teaching and historical tradition, he founded the Church, appointing Peter as its first leader.
Today is St. Patrick’s Day, the Patron Saint of Ireland 🇮🇪✝️
Although alot of people will spend it drinking green beer and wearing plastic hats the Catholic Church celebrates the life of a great Saint who was instrumental to the preservation of Europe as we know it and for the conversion of the nation of Ireland.
Kidnapped at 16 by pagan pirates, St. Patrick was dragged from his noble family and forced into slavery in the freezing Irish wilderness.
For six brutal years, he suffered in total isolation.
He finally escaped, walked 200 miles to the coast, and made it back home. He was safe. He became a priest, then a Bishop.
But then he had a vision. God called him to go back to the exact same violent barbarians who enslaved him.
He went back to save their souls.
When the High King of Tara ordered that no fires be lit before his pagan festival, Patrick marched up the Hill of Slane and lit a massive Easter bonfire, openly challenging the king, the druids, and the penalty of death.
According to tradition, one of the high druids challenged Patrick to a supernatural duel to determine whose god was greater.
The druid invoked demons and even levitated before the crowd, but Patrick, filled with the power of Christ, commanded them to fall.
The wizard crashed to the ground and died.
Witnessing this, the king was shaken.
Convinced of God’s power, he allowed Patrick to continue preaching. Over the next 30 years, Patrick baptized thousands, converted chieftains, and used the shamrock to explain the mystery of the Trinity.
Through him, Ireland was set on the path to becoming one of the most Christian lands in Europe.
He drove literal snakes out of Ireland. He drove out demons, paganism, and human sacrifice, conquering an entire nation for Christ.
Enjoy your pint today, but remember you are celebrating a spiritual warrior, a Bishop of Holy Mother Church, a Saint who is in Heaven right now looking down on you, praying for you, praying for the Church.
His life and total devotion and faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ should be an example for all of us to follow.
Saint Patrick, pray for us! Christ is King.
Never thought I'd see anti-Catholic hatred return to the United States, but this shows a lack of imagination on my part. Bolsheviks destroyed Orthodox Christian churches. Spanish Marxists began burning priests alive. The devil hates Catholics.
Go fuck yourself you piece of shit.
Imagine worshipping a foreign country so much, that you would rather throw 20% of Americans (and a growing segment of the GOP base) under the bus.
It’s becoming much harder to justify voting for most Republicans this year.
“We are very disappointed that the Trump administration has officially removed Carrie Prejean @CarriePrejean1 from the Religious Liberty Commission. We understand that there may be disagreements among those on the Commission who do not profess the Catholic faith. However, the very purpose of the Commission is to allow for differing points of view while maintaining respect for one another’s beliefs.
Carrie’s position on Zionism, which is the Catholic view, is not an antisemitic position. While all followers of Christ reject hatred of any kind—including toward the Jewish people— anti-zionism is NOT the same as anti-semitism.
We at Catholics for Catholics also stand with Jewish Americans who take offense at being called “second-class Jews” simply for being America First. In fact, many younger voters in the United States increasingly sympathize with the Catholic view on Zionism, as they embrace patriotism, reason, and common sense.
Ironically, Carrie’s courageous stand has only amplified her voice, precisely because of her refusal to compromise her Catholic beliefs and her steadfast defense of religious freedom.
We renew our previous petition to the Bishops, who are part of the Commission’s panel, to speak up on Carries defense"
