If the current leaders of the asylum simply hand over the keys to the lunatics, what does that say about the leaders?

I can't accept that Trump was "a threat to democracy" before the election and now he is welcome with a handshake and silence. At least continue to warn the people and talk about what can be done by America to hold the lunatics to account. Don't just walk away.

Evidently the price of bacon and deporting 15 million immigrants was more important to voters...

move into the nightmare of Trump part 2 on steroids, we need to be assured that Democratic lawmakers and leaders are going to be speaking out and resisting. This is no time for them to go radio silent. It is a time to be outspoken and critical of every move Trump makes.

We need another completely different angle of attack... Directly calling out Trump all the time just puts more attention on Trump, which is what he thrives on.

communication. We need voices that are going to shout to be heard. We need to see some passion to defend what is at stake. We need assurance that there will be resistance. We need some kind of leadership. Tell me if this is this too much for?

Biden already got fucked by his own people when they forced him out of the race over some bullshit, then they fucked him a second time by not showing up to vote for his veep...

So even though Biden can't even count on his own people to back him up, everyone is demanding he "do something" because reasons...

desperation and urgency on November 5th... We really could have used it. 😔

Say what you will about Trumpers, but at least they get their asses to the polls every time, all the time without fail. They don't ever try to "send a message" by staying home or voting for some third party chaos agent... My ex-gf had the unmitigated gall to write in Cornel Fucking West because she said "both choices were terrible"... Trumpers on the other hand take every race seriously with a do-or-die mindset... There's something Dem voters could learn from them.

• Give Ukraine what it needs to demolish Putin ASAP. Cut off the head of the snake.

• Change all the ciphers and nuclear codes AND TAKE THEM HOME.

• Do everything imaginable to protect agents and assets before they are doxxed by Caligula for bitcoin.

These are urgent national security matters, and are official business.
