Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and Jesse Waters would be losing their fucking minds if Biden chose to go golfing instead of attending the arrival of four fallen soldiers at Dover Air Base. What do you hear from them now? Crickets. The hypocrisy is deafening! Shameful!

Chuck Grassley has held public office since the 1950s. He’s never had a real job or ever done any real kind of work and he’s almost 100 years old. Conservatives are the epitome of lazy, just good for nothing free loaders.

Deportation flights never stopped. The Biden Admin deported about 1 million people per year. Republicans never talked about that because it didn’t fit their narrative, and Democrats never talked about it because they feared it would anger part of their base. So ignorance ruled.

America is the laughing stock across the globe but the pain about to be inflicted upon us all here is no joke but rather a horror story. I feel sick upon waking each and every day since January 20th.

In a nutshell... "Biden pardoned January 6 police officers, Trump pardoned January 6 criminals." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
msnbc.com
After Biden pardoned Jan. 6 police officers, Trump pardoned Jan. 6 criminals
The new president agreed to let violent criminals back onto American streets, and then peddled discredited conspiracy theories and lies about the attack.

I wonder if the federal work force should go on strike the day after the inauguration just to make a point. Shut it down and show the country how important they are for all Americans, not just a minority of billionaires

This…this is it. In a nutshell, yes.
Post by Charlotte Clymer:

Every transphobic argument can basically be boiled down to: "I actually don't know the science at all or have a good argument here, but trans people challenge my long held view of the world and it's very uncomfortable and everyone should be expected to move around my discomfort."

Is it possible that the Senate Republicans will actually step up and be the guardrails to Trump’s lunacy that Kelly, Milley et al were? It’s a rhetorical question. Here’s praying…

In government, JFK’s favorite line was “a rising tide lifts all boats.” Trump and his nominees intend on puncturing holes in these boats, department by department. I hope you have a life jacket!

At this point, democrats have to concentrate on stopping the ones that will do the most damage. Forget the distraction nominees. Focus on the serious threats. Gaetz, Gabbard and Hegseth remain the most problematic.

Ethics Cmte Chair Michael Guest says there was “no agreement” today on releasing the Gaetz Report. What a liar. All Dems want it released. Republicans are trying to cover it up. We can’t let them. Dems must make the report public. Enough of these games.
