California Coastal Range would-be gardener, voracious audiobook consumer, childless cat lady who DOES have a stake bc I actually care about others regardless of my blood relation to them (don’t get me started!), feminist, liberal, climate worrier
Langford, Pee Wee Johnson, and the rest get away w this bc their constituents and most of the public will NEVER be informed of this irresponsible, dishonest behavior by their news sources

And that if MAGA are informed, THEY WON’T CARE, bc “owning the libs” is more satisfying than good governance

And????

People need to know you and your colleagues are doing more/HAVE PLANS TO DO MORE than tweeting and strongly worded letters!!!!

WE JUST INVADED A SOVEREIGN COUNTRY, KIDNAPPED THEIR LEADER AND ARE SEIZING THEIR OIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The President is talking “maybe Cuba next”!

And you’re posting about “HEALTHCARE”?!!!!!

Is this account set to auto-tweet?!!!!

And just like that, gone is my knee jerk respect for ‘special forces commanders, Stryker brigade platoon leaders, West Point grads, and Bronze star recipients’

Jefferies’ statement today, summarized

“Venezuela was just asking for it (never mind international law and what happened with Iraq)

“But Trump probably shoulda asked Congress first and golly gee, maybe had a plan for what’s next?”

Yes, I was thinking perhaps they’re all compensating for micropenises… but that’s statistically unlikely

He practiced in the mirror beforehand, trying for this
January 3, 2026 at 9:08 PM
And/or… he’s trying to remember why he’s there

She obviously thought he was more sane than this—and was wrong.

But she is right to condemn him and this action now— and the more voices doing so the better.

Harping on “but they voted for him!” is the wrong focus at this time, IMO.

No they won’t unless & until Dems manage to capture 2/3 of the Senate to make a treaty allowing it

We have to give up that fantasy and work on taking out our own trash.

FFS Hakeem! Even MTG managed a better statement on Trump’s reckless occupation of Venezuela.

Last time we tried regime change (also expecting the OIL benefits to pay for it!)

👉 4,492 U.S. servicemembers died and 32,292 were wounded

GET A GRIP!!!

Even Vance said it better
January 3, 2026 at 7:01 PM
Everyone should be asking VANCE about it, especially after he tweeted this👇about the Iraq invasion/occupation
January 3, 2026 at 6:05 PM
NO!!!!

Vance would get a HUGE boost from all the presidential death pageantry and presenting himself as “America’s leader through this difficult time”

As much as he repulses us, his 2028 polling numbers are already at “historic high” among NH primary voters

I wish you were right but there are some worrying numbers
January 2, 2026 at 5:17 PM
I worry Trump’s passing while in office would give JD a chance to present himself as “America’s leader in this difficult time” etc — increasing his 2028 chances

He’s gotten some practice leveraging a popular figure’s death into a political boost for himself with Charlie Kirk

Pretty sure Vance and his aggrieved White male fans are often called upon to apologize… for being total dicks

And, constitutionally unable to take responsibility for any wrongdoing on their part, “because I’m White” is their go to excuse

And Republicans in Congress will continue to act like everything’s fine until he actually starts throwing his own poo

(at which point Susie Wiles will outfit him with pants he cannot reach into and… voila! Problem solved and we continue on like this 😔)

I just traveled for 2 weeks, with a number of train & plane journeys and holiday crowds.

Put on my mask whenever people were jammed together — and made it home without a single cold or flu.

With such benefits, my question would be why AREN’T you wearing a mask?
December 30, 2025 at 10:33 AM
I heard a pundit say Vance would have a better chance in 2028 if he already held the presidency (thru Trump leaving office one way or another)

Scary thought on so many levels!

Surprisingly, both Ukraine & Russia have ~80% of their population identifying as Christians

Perhaps Christian-on-Christian violence doesn’t sufficiently excite the base?
