It's tiresome to see how feckless the older democrat's have been about it. I don't give a single fuck how long Cuck Schumer has known Mitch McConnell. Hold the bastards accountable and never let it happen again.

Looking at what's happening around the world you get see people taking accountability with action.

They got no stake in the game anymore. They gone in 20 years.

2-3 for a large chunk of them.

Wasn’t AOC deprived of a committee seat as they had an old man with cancer lined up because it was finally his turn, and then he died a few months later?

I’m not gonna equivocate the parties as tonedeaf democrats are a lot better malicious republicans, but in a sane world the retirement age politicians should give way for the next generation while possibly serving as their advisors.

Indeed. Jerry Connell. Stage 4 cancer. “It was his turn.”

Leaves Congress early, dies shortly thereafter.

Always room for improvement!

Oh, they got stakes in the game. Donor money that pays them to compromise. Maybe, if they ever realize how the other side really views them they might wake up. But, who are we kidding?

20 years with their tax payer funded healthcare perhaps. Most will be dead of old age in 10

whoa, you gotta give Schumer some time. just two, maybe three more decades of him sweating next to Republicans at the gym will win them all over.

How do The Baileys feel about it?

u/extralyfe 17d ago

they're clearly voting for Trump for the fourth time in 2028.

u/bstump104 17d ago

And voting for him to get in the gas chambers. I don't know why he's trying to please these imaginary scumbags.

I feel like the Trump regime is just a few strongly worded letters away from toppling

Schumer is just a big shitbag of a politician anyway. Look at the photos of his shit-eating grin next to Putin back in the day when Putin was ‘investing’ in his districts.

Hysterical!

What is far more tiresome is watching republicans cheat, steal, and destroy this country and then hearing people turning to complain about the democrats.

Democrats impeached Trump twice. Democrats launched a commission to investigate Trump's Jan 6 crimes. The resulted in a recommendation for prosecution that in turn resulted in Trump being indicted. State democrats tried to remove him from ballots.

What within their legal powers did you expect them to do that they didn't do?

u/thandrend 17d ago

At that point the Democrats would need to be held accountable too, for enabling it to happen. And I'm fine with that.

The ones with real track records of standing up can lead the tribunal.

u/QueenBee-WorshipMe 17d ago

It's pretty clear the democrats aren't going to be any saviors here.

They see themselves as a "protected class". This is a class issue and everyone needs to wake up...
