    Stall and bog down the system. Schumer has already said any budget put forth by GoP is going to pass through just fine which is the exact opposite of the mentality we need. GoP had a minority for a bit there and yet they somehow still were able to gum up the system and work it to their advantage very often....wonder how that was.

    So he's just not going to tell us if the guy has designed ships before? C'mon Trump, I'm dying of suspense here.

    Because you feign not knowing how government works. Democrats aren't monolithic, and had actual moderates to bring on board unlike Republicans who all fall in line.

    But again, you either don't know how government works, or pretend not to.

    Like Sinema and Manchin, both of which should have been slapped around a bit by Biden using the bully pulpit and whipped by others. Manchin has a shit ton of dirt on him and his daughter that could have been lightly threatened about to force him to comply in some way or another. Even still, like i've said before, they can still slow shit down. It only takes 1 person to contest a quorum and require a count of everyone present. If only 80% of the current dems do that EVERY FUCKING TIME and take other steps it helps drag the feet of this administration. Of course they aren't going to win any fights but they can at least show a spine of some sort.

    But yeah, far better look for them to be just frowning outside the Dept of Ed, or frowning as they vote "yes" everything the GoP puts forward because "if we vote no it doesn't matter anyways "

    Nobody that matters actually cares if they "show a spine" the people tuning in are the base and will vote for them no matter what. Actual moderates and undecideds the people that actually swing elections only care about soundbites put out 6 months before the election.

    Old people see ICE arrests on TV and Fox news telling them how now they are going to get the minorities out of government and it makes them feel safe.

    Honestly Military Intervention is usually what comes before Civil War. Which only becomes possible if Trump and friends are stupid enough to order the military to start shooting civilians protesting his degenerate goverment.

    You keep pretending that calling for quorum actually does anything because you saw it on an annoying YouTube video that one time. It's pretty sad tbh.

    Republicans got caught proxy voting and nothing happened. There's to much insanity. The media can't report it all and even if they did, our American brains would do nothing with the information.
    The state department is spending 400 million on "armored " Tesla trucks. What are we going to do about it?

    Welp, there goes another group of my friends and family losing their entire career and job path.

    What a great day. I enjoy the infighting in this thread though. Reminds me of the actual Democratic party.

    I might be affected soon tbh.

    I work in housing. I don't work for HUD specifically, nor NYS, but basically subcontracted through the state.

    Now that a concussed former football player is running HUD, it's inevitable. You thought a brain surgeon was bad? Woo lad. The housing crisis is about to get far worse, and I suppose that is the goal.

    I've been applying to so many jobs. Been here 14 years. Shit sucks, but just trying to get ahead of the game.
