A Befuddled Scribe To quote Dan Quayle "I never lived in this century". Also Bob Dole's words to live by "Whatever, just Whatever". Hoping someone has a time machine so I can get out of here.

It was an amazingly effective and intrusive theft of citizen's data from the government. That seems to be forgotten and swept under the rug.

Don't bother with these trolls, their just here to crap on Democrats.

Did anyone else see this today and wonder wtf happened?

Oopsie, Stephen.

What we really need are some really deep money bags to support an equivalent propaganda machine on the left. The Right has been at this for generations tearing down our nation's soul from the inside. Voters need to see the truth, but a simple name change will not accomplish that.

I would urge you to not give up on the honorable history of Democratic accomplishments. What ever we call ourselves the vile paid mouthpieces of the Oligarchs will slander and lie.

Gilkeshda @gilkeshda.bsky.social · 5d

I think we all share your fear, but to quote tRump, "Fight Fight Fight." Giving up guarantees defeat.

Gilkeshda @gilkeshda.bsky.social · 5d

Needs to happen, if the Files are released it will set things in motion. We will all be better off for it!

Gilkeshda @gilkeshda.bsky.social · 5d

Is this the most brutal fountain you have seen?

Gilkeshda @gilkeshda.bsky.social · 5d

They are standing firm on the Budget, not allowing the massive cuts to Health Care that the Republicans want. That is important, not just a performative gesture.

Her brow must be really furrowed now.

Gilkeshda @gilkeshda.bsky.social · 6d

The Articles would be voted down. As you state he is the Minority leader.

Gilkeshda @gilkeshda.bsky.social · 6d

Just to remind you, the Republicans control the House of Representatives at the moment. When the Democrats controlled the House they did impeach tRump twice. Go Mid-Terms!

Gilkeshda @gilkeshda.bsky.social · 6d

It would seem that you are more concerned that politicians should entertain and inspire rather than actually running the government. Apparently you consider competent, but boring disqualifying for a politician. That is what happens when we have a nation of small children.

tRump is president because so many voters sat on their hands rather than voting for a woman candidate. Sure they voted for a man against tRump, but a woman, just couldn't bring themselves to do it despite the obvious consequences. Twice! Blame the idiot American Citizens for this mess.

Gilkeshda @gilkeshda.bsky.social · 6d

Step aside for whom. He is in the position because the House Democrats choose him as their leader. If there was someone better in the House then let them step forward. To get us out of this mess we need an overwhelming majority in the House and Senate, not some mythical figurehead with "rizz".

Gilkeshda @gilkeshda.bsky.social · 6d

Don't forget that Joe Lieberman had a hand in that. Unfortunately Democratic Majorities have never been large enough to override traitors within the party.

Gilkeshda @gilkeshda.bsky.social · 6d

While that maybe questionable judgement, something that his constituent voters will have a say on during the midterms, it doesn't constitute incompetence. His actual job is to manage the Democrats in the House and I think he is doing pretty well given that they are in the minority at the moment.

Gilkeshda @gilkeshda.bsky.social · 6d

Really, what do you base that claim on?

Gilkeshda @gilkeshda.bsky.social · 6d

It's an ugly coin, but if tRump has to be dead I'm willing to make the trade, but I will never touch such an abomination.

Gilkeshda @gilkeshda.bsky.social · 6d

That would definitely be an upgrade!

Gilkeshda @gilkeshda.bsky.social · 6d

I think the trolls have arrived.

Gilkeshda @gilkeshda.bsky.social · 6d

This is a post about one topic, that doesn't mean he isn't doing anything else. We are a single vote away from getting the motion to release the Epstein Files passed. Give the man a break will you please. I'm sure he is doing all he can.

Gilkeshda @gilkeshda.bsky.social · 7d

Well Gosh! That got me blocked.

Gilkeshda @gilkeshda.bsky.social · 7d

Okily Dokily.

So are you saying we shouldn't bother voting? Hey! if you have a better idea let me know what it is. Whining about how unfair the world is won't get us anywhere. Until something better comes along I suggest we all vote for the Democrats and put the Republicans out of power.
