Remember yall was like. “I’m not voting. I don’t like neither candidate. It’s not like it’s going to make a difference anyway!”
Now look at you. Can’t afford food, gas, or plane tickets.
"Democratic governors and state legislators need to realize that this is no longer about fairness; it’s about fighting back so that Democrats are not engineered out of the House forever. And I get that Democrats don’t have the stomach for this kind of warfare; find it. The time for good government solutions is long gone. Now it’s existential."
Why haven't we heard from a SINGLE Democratic state about steps they're taking to counteract the post-VRA GOP power grabs in Louisiana and Alabama and South Carolina and Tennessee and Texas and North Carolina and Missouri and Florida? Is every Democrat asleep at the wheel? Do you think this is going to fix itself? Why is it so fucking difficult for Democrats to fight back? If you're in power in NJ, NY, MD, CO, IL, WA, OR, wake the fuck up and announce steps to redraw the maps so that Democrats are not drawn out of power forever.
Republicans control all 3 branches of government and not only have they not passed a single bill that ACTUALLY benefits anyone but billionaires, but they have made everything in the country and across the globe significantly worse. Vote them all out.
Let me get this straight.
Red states can have a governor unilaterally suspend primaries, and GOP legislators draw maps without voter consent.
But Virginia runs the most robust democratic process possible, a constitutional amendment via referendum, and the court throws it away?
In 2018, North Carolina held an election using congressional maps that had already been ruled unconstitutional. The winners were seated anyway. In 2022, Ohio did the same thing. Georgia and Alabama moved forward with racist maps in 2022 that violated the Voting Rights Act. The winners of those elections were seated anyway. When it’s Republicans disenfranchising Black voters and Democrats, illegal maps are suddenly good enough to keep in place during the election. None of those states even put their maps up for approval by the public like Virginia did. Virginia should proceed with their election under the map their voters just enacted. Anything less would establish an unfair precedent.
You can't lower gas prices by blurting out the names of a few Democrats. The administration needs to stop its crazed policies that cause so much economic pain.
This is happening on Trump's watch because he doubled jet fuel prices by taking our country to war, which drove Spirit out of business. Obviously.
Spirit Airlines says in court papers that it was forced to ground its fleet for good over the weekend because "recent geopolitical events resulted in a massive and sustained increase in fuel prices." https://t.co/O77K08ey3c
JetBlue hasn’t made a profit in 6 years, they are $9 billion in debt, are on course to lose $1 billion this year, are dealing with the same spike in jet fuel that finished off Spirit, but the Trump admin wants to claim that it would’ve saved failing, indebted Spirit.
@Flyboy737800@Houseofyogi You sir, are the fcking idiot! Jet fuel is not cheaper now than 2022. But even on the chance it is, who gives a fuck! They cited they could no longer remain in business because of the cost of fuel, PERIOD! Fuel
Is where it’s at cause of this war in Iran. GET A FUCKING CLUE!
@triofelines@Houseofyogi Can you read a quarterly P&L statement? I implore to look at the mainline US carriers and you can see how the impact of jet engine fuel is having to their bottom line.
@memadonuts@Houseofyogi Sure you might be right. But the nail to the coffin was jet engine fuel. That’s what ended them. To say it was Warren and a blocked merger is just stupid. Maybe that started it, but you don’t know that a merged JB/Spirit wouldn’t have been in the same condition today
@oldkey2023@Houseofyogi You’re an idiot. Perhaps that is what started the process of their failure but the nail to the coffin was high jet engine fuel. Perhaps YOU should read the CEOs letter cause it’s in black and white, dipshit. And you want to shoot me? Come find me pussy! I’m waiting! 😂
@Flyboy737800@Houseofyogi Actually that is exactly what you would say. Was there comorbities, yes. But the cause was a heart attack. Same thing here. Their final demise/nail to the coffin was high jet fuel cost. Read the CEOs final letter.
Questions for MAGA-
Did Trump build your wall?
Did Mexico pay for any part of the wall that was built?
Did Trump drain the swamp?
Did Trump bring inflation down?
Did Trump replace Obamacare with more affordable healthcare?
Did Trump bring down the price of groceries?
Did Trump bring down the price of gas?
Did Trump keep America out of any new wars?
Did Trump bring down the National Debt?
Did Trump make living more affordable?
Did Trump release the Epstein Files to expose and prosecute pedophiles?
Has Trump’s DOJ made a single arrest related to the Epstein Files?
One last question….
Can you defend any one of these questions you’ve had to answer “No” to?
Only in America can one party control the White House, the Senate, the House of Representatives, win the popular vote, and hold the majority of governorships—and still blame the other party for everything wrong with the country.
This administration refuses to take responsibility for any of their actions. Spirit specifically cited why they couldn’t stay in business: skyrocketing fuel costs due to Trump’s war. And the Trump admin is still trying to blame Biden for everything. Biden?! You could maybe get away with that if it were February 2025, but it’s May 2026. Trump was the “I’ll make everything cheaper on day 1” guy. The “no new wars” guy. Own your actions.
