This is nothing but noise. He sits on the crapper, hits "post", smiles, and says to himself...'Now watch the libs and media go crazy!' It's just more bullshit distraction from the fact that the GOP's inept at governing while protecting pedophiles and denying people healthcare...

Scott Jennings on CNN refuses to say he condemns children in Chicago being zip-tied, aggressively pulled out of their homes away from their families, detained till 3am, & traumatized this way by ICE. He should be ashamed of himself

Let me help you Scott: the answer is YES

JD Vance just said the reason there’s a government shutdown right now is because Democrats said they’d only vote for the spending bill if Republicans added in “billions of dollars in funding for healthcare for illegal aliens”. JD Vance is a shameless fucking liar…

Repubs/Trump have fucked over the working class. So when they say 'Let's just pass the spending bill for now & then negotiate on healthcare etc' for Dec', they are not to be trusted. They'll reneg & NEVER do ANYTHING for the working class. That's why Dems didn't vote for the bill
