Gen X who spent my early adulthood buying into the Reagan era. Bush X 2 changed my mind. Still hopeful that we will make it through the dark times and recover in 28.

Just saw the new ICE recruitment ad. What a steaming pile of shit. They keep claiming they are getting "the worst criminals" off the streets. If that's true why are they targeting produce fields, home depot parking lots, Hyundai factories, and schools? Fkn pieces of shit.
This is great. Proof that everything trump does is based on how it can benefit trump. Every policy, pardon, etc is transactional. He expects something in return every single time.

Look, people, there is no evidence that Senator Tom Cotton was caught pleasuring himself while watching the video of those survivors clinging to a portion of a wrecked boat until they were murdered by a second missile.
There's just no truth to that at all. Stop saying it.

He can't stay awake. Or walk. Or speak. I'm so sick of the GOP denial. The embarrassing flattery parades. The complicit press standing silent while he drones on incomprehensibly or insults colleagues who dare to question his lies. Or laughing obligatorily at his non-jokes. I'm just so tired of it.

- Living wages.
- Paid sick leave, too.
But they vote NO for workers on all three.
Vote OUT anti-worker politicians (Dems & GOP). Vote in public servants committed to justice above all else

Good job on the data to refute the Walmart BS. Then he proceeds to allow Hassett to redirect to Biden. So close to doing the right thing.
KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?
HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--
KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.
Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

So Democrats get:
1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays
2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail
3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts
Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.
