I was hoping that the whole reach across the aisle bit was just a lie to win the election. Then it’d be exactly what it is: Us vs Them instead of Us being nice vs Them being cutthroat and not giving a fuck about the country.
That and my vote was never counted since I didn’t get my official ballot until 5 days before the election during a pandemic. Had to use a write-in ballot to get mine in way earlier than that.
I’m not anti old people. They rock. They usually dgaf and are willing to tell you exactly what they think and they generally have perspective even if it’s often through a slightly dodgy lense. We should celebrate the elderly. They just shouldn’t be in charge of anything important. Like countries with nukes for example.
Whats the point though? Harping on it constantly is just carrying water for Republicans. They’re weaponizing your leftist beliefs in service to their conservative goals.
Obama only did five news conferences in his first year in office. George W. Bush did four. I think we forget what a freak-job Trump was by taking hours of questions every day from the media.
Of course he should. I can understand him wanting to hang on while he is the only person representing millions in the entire chamber, but he should 100% be out on a ranch somewhere with his grandkids telling stories or whatever.
I let myself sleep on this to see if I still felt the same. I do. Sinema is giving me strong MTG vibes. Attention whoring psycho idiot. I wouldn’t be surprised if she never votes with the Dems on anything important from here out. If the Rs figured out how to infiltrate the Ds by running as one, it’ll just be another feather in their “way better at the game” hat.
That clip is nauseating. Walking up in her $500 outfit, $150 bag, patting McConnell on the back, then doing a goddamed curtsey thing as she votes to deny millions of people enough money to live. Absolutely disgusting ghoul. Jfc.
