I'm seeing a bunch of people saying "watch this" but nobody detailing what AOC said: Dems Are Fighting Back!

House Democrats will introduce legislation to block or slow down actions at the U.S. Treasury and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to prevent further firings and financial overreach.

Trump: "I also did a cognitive exam. Which is always very risky because if I didn't do well, you'd be the first to be blaring it and I had a perfect score. And one of the doctors said he's almost never seen a perfect score. I had a perfect score. That made me well good ... not the easiest test."

This is a great example actually. If Dems did what some folks here are demanding in 2005 they would have let Bush gut Social Security right before the Great Recession kicked in.

Actively giving benefits is very different; Dems have had tremendous success campaigning on successfully stopping Republicans from doing bad things in high profile fights, including ACA repeal in 2018/20 and social security in 2006/8

The context you were missing is that there are many leftists on the Internet who are currently discussing how Hasan treats (or mistreats) his dog, which this post is obliquely referring to

The logic now is that Dems are not in control of Congress and Republicans are free to make all their own mistakes.

I'm vaguely sympathetic because this kind of turnabout *is* monstrous, in fact the exact kind of monstrous behavior the Republicans inflict on America every goddamn day they are in power, and while doing it back to them is *necessary* we must remember that it is not good.

Different situation: Dems controlled the House at the time.

So, should Dems have spiked COVID relief and stimulus in 2020 until after the election when they took a trifecta?

I actually think you could make a great game mechanic from “approaching a stranger encountered in the wilderness in a post apocalyptic setting” involving the decision about when/if to fire first.

Lol see, the best they can offer is a fucking *PROMISE OF A FUTURE VOTE*.

Democrats aren't gonna take that. Republicans are not good faith partners and they've demonstrated that dozens of times!

They're demonstrating that right now by REFUSING TO SEAT A NEW HOUSE MEMBER.

Sen. Susan Collins tells me Republican leaders should promise to hold a vote on extending ACA funding to try an end the shutdown — an olive branch to Democrats.

A promise from people who have proven themselves fundamentally untrustworthy means nothing. Still, this is something of a crack in the wall.

If you want shutdown, you have to be the Garak meme and reply to "even if it has (bad consequence)?" with "ESPECIALLY if it has (bad consequence)". Supporting people who'll do the thing and then disavowing when you see the consequence is what Trumpers who "didn't vote for this" do. You don't get to.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."
