And they now have Kirk's name to invoke as a martyr while continuing to cast themselves as under imminent threat. One of them today said he actually checks rooftops when he goes out. And bemoaned that they have to live like that. Sir, no one could pick you out of a lineup.

Americans live and are stationed all over the world. Some want to show home solidarity.

Sorry you're ailing. I pray good health to you and a successful recovery. You'll do what you can when you can. With these malevolent chuckleheads, there will be other opportunities.

Yeah, I pay for F1TV, but was just notified my account won't auto renew because Apple. So they could, in theory, gain a subscriber in me as the Apple sub is $1 cheaper.

Maybe because he's gay and Latino🤷🏿‍♀️. Or just part of the ongoing bs narrative that Republicans are under attack.

And yes, sometimes an elected goes rogue - Fetterman. Or corrupt Bob Menendez.

Pelosi's constituents voted for her, more than once. In the same way you won't vote for the AIPAC supported, Pelosi's constituents can stop voting for her at any time. I doubt Fetterman's will send him back.

Obama didn't solve racism, or because he caused racism or whatever. Which saddled us w/McConnell and the current SC.

Voters who voted for 47, failed their civic duty. For me, it will always be on Voters because that's where it starts these are elected officials.

tedium24x7.bsky.social @tedium24x7.bsky.social · 4d

Where's the failure? US voter turnout is crap. Even in the record turnout years, it's crap. Even allowing for conscientious non-voters (a diff convo) it's crap. Voters pretending a pres term is not 4 yrs, and not coming out for midterms. Voters not turning out for midterms in 2012 because, what?

This is great. Without reporters whatever will that attention whore do?

This goes to the original comment. I suppose she could do those things, but right now she's doing a televised townhall, because even tho the house is on 🔥, many Americans aren't paying attention.

You're not engaged by what AOC is doing. There are 400+ Reps. If yours isn't AOC, what's yours up to?

You think there should be less anger? Anger can be a motivator, and people are rightfully angry. As they rep us, our Reps should be as well.

Condescension? Where?

It's not a game. Millions of people voted us here. They can do the job, but voters also have/had to give them the tools. The minority position is not it.

Understanding that our fellow citizens failed in their civic responsibility and that there are consequences is part of it.

Why would we expect one elected official to have all the answers in an all hands on deck situation.

Voters have a responsibility, maybe the ultimate in this, and right now, we've got to play through that failure.

It's like a fungus. Every time there's something in the Oval there's another gold atrocity creeping across a surface.

Malevolent incompetence. They have no idea how anything works and are both gleeful and arrogant in that ignorance.

Steve Bannon for one. His show is hosted by America's Real Voice on both Roku and Pluto.

And other right-wing shows on popular streaming services. He's been doing a poor me tour across platforms. Hopefully, this SC rejection has put a stop to it.
