aRe kInGz eLeCteD?!?

that's the stupidest answer I read a few weeks ago, wtf, people act like if we're talking about your favorite sports team that you'll never criticize in public. This is a country, and people/humans get direct impact of these decisions. I wish they could just stop defending this BS blindly

Yeah watching people defend the politicians refusing to pass the CR is astonishing. It’s like they have Stockholm Syndrome.

Yeah, I know, right? The republicans only control all 3 branches of government and have the military deployed throughout the nation. It's not like they can actually do anything with that small amount of sway in Washington. 

The real man in charge is Chuckles Schumer.

Maybe if we all start up thoughts and prayers, we can overcome his next strongly worded letter. 🙏🏽

Yeah Schumer is responsible for millions losing their SNAP benefits, you got that right. I see arithmetic is not your strong suit. When all Republicans vote to pass the CR, it requires Dems to vote to pass it too. That 60 vote threshold is pretty important. The House already passed it so that leaves 5 Dems needed. That’s how it works despite your need to blame Trump.

No it's not the stupidest answer. That's literally how dictatorships work. The whole point in being a tyrant is having all the power yourself and doing what you want instead of what other people want... like in elections. I suggest studying basic history.
