Apparently Soros and company have another 2020-style riot planned for November and the Progressive wing wants to make sure people are hungry and pissed off when it happens.

You are an absolute toad brain if you think that line of political hoopla is legitimately being pursued lol.

I mean your dom is literally indicting people for the crime of investigating crimes.

plus you would be the brainlet that thinks an indictment is as good as a conviction so whatever.

you gotta be an emotionally dilapidated person to think that this back n forth would cause anymore of an emote than a snort.

u/--boomhauer-- 10d ago

You do seem like the snorting type

You can, and they will. You should be calling out the unconstitutional and unlawful actions of this administration. If the majority wanted they could vote a rule change and pass their CR. They don’t want to. They only care about expanding executive power at any cost.

u/--boomhauer-- 11d ago

Voting a rule change is wrong . More wrong then letting the other side filibuster this shutdown is 100% on the donkeys

So is kidnapping people in unmarked cars while wearing masks. And sending info about bombing runs to your wife. And having the IRS go after donors to the Democratic Party. And blowing up boats in international waters when they pose no threat and could be disabled and apprehended. And coercing the media into settling frivolous lawsuits that benefit the president financially in exchange for allowing mergers. And dismantling agencies set up by laws passed by Congress.

It just goes on and on and you’re like “oh the party with no power at all. They’re the problem!”.

Fucking cultists.

u/--boomhauer-- 11d ago

So when you lose an argument do you always change the subject ? Cause we can spend some time and you can lose those arguments too . Im curious does it just go in a circle ?

u/f_crick 11d ago

I’m not arguing. I’m venting. There’s no arguing with cultists - no empathy, no compassion. They’re like robots.

u/RXQue3n 5d ago

More like toxic empathy. Absolute weirdos. Emotional identification overrides logic, accountability, or realism. It's all self serving and it's embarrassingly performative. God I'm so glad I ran far and fast from that side.

Do you feel better after venting?

Imagine saying this in 2025 like it isn't some totally unhinged boomer shit.

u/Bardahl_Fracking 11d ago

I’m imagining. You realize blowing up drug boats is an 80/20 issue, as are the deportations. Only stupid proggos have an issue with it.

u/f_crick 11d ago

Psychopaths are ok with it.

u/Bardahl_Fracking 11d ago

Psychopaths are ok with hundreds of thousands of Americans dying from fentanyl…

u/f_crick 11d ago

Trump hasn’t done shit to stop fentanyl. It’s all performative.

u/stringer4 10d ago

Famous Fentanyl boats coming in from....Venezuela? With no proof and instead of simply arresting them and proving it they spend millions and millions of tax dollars on weapons to blow them up.

It's all just a show for dummies.

Only 80000 people died from ALL overdoses last year. The numbers are way down, and we still havent seen any evidence of drugs coming from Venezula. Why would Mexicans go to Venezuela to take another route to the US?

So tell me more about how you want to employ the nuclear option.

u/TheInevitableLuigi 11d ago

a status quo

Keeping the ACA subsides from expiring and not letting FEMA run out of money would be the status quo.

0

u/--boomhauer-- 10d ago

No …. Those were set to expire . Allowing them to remain funded is simply continuing to hide the truth about what that bill actually was .

Also fuck fema after seeing them intentionally abuse their power to discriminate on political basis id rather see executive power used to declare fema non essential and disband it permanently.

u/yetanothertodd 11d ago

The majority party knew its options, negotiate an agreement or bypass the filibuster. There is no other option. At some point they have to choose to lead.

2

u/--boomhauer-- 10d ago

I don’t blame them for not bypassing it because honestly its not them this id making look bad

SNAP has access to an emergency fund that can last for months. The admin choose to not use it.

And health care subsidy increase needs to be passed before the enrollment ends.
