      Congress won’t do jack shit as long as the Freedom Caucus aka MAGA can tip any vote. We’re past the point of thinking Congress will fix this.

      Plus the Founders intention was that Congress isnanslow moving organ at best. There won’t be a government by the time they get their shit together.

      Call your congress-critter, but understand buying ammo will do more for democracy at this point. And if you’re not at that point yet, then you’ve already let them win.

    Speaking to the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, Speaker Mike Johnson praised DOGE: “What Elon and the team are doing is what Congress has not had the ability to do. … They are exposing this massive fraud, waste and abuse that we have not been unable to uncover because the deep state has hidden it from us.”

    But he still hasn’t actually found or shown any actual fraud, waste or abuse Mikey. You are praising a thing happening that isn’t happening.

    When you cede your Constitutional responsibility and abandon your oath of office, you forgo the right to complain.

    They’re concerned because they’re going to be voted out.

    Short of that, we’re going to behead them all.
