Haha! Yeah, sure.
Just like they stopped the child rapist from doing all that other criminally evil shit last week/month/year?
Hey, Dems, you should really try to keep your controlled opposition performance at least somewhat believable. If you guys try to overstep your boundaries daddy tRUMP will bitch slap you.
Weeks later after a bunch of headlines and sound bites… “Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer has agreed to Trump’s federal take over of mid term elections. In return republicans have agreed to pinky promise that the election will be fair and to walk by a room that has the latest proposal on extending ACA benefits.”
Schumer is typing up that stern letter as we speak
has anyone checked to see if Jeffries is an actual player and not a bot account?
I feel like I've heard him say those words before, but I don't remember seeing him follow through on them... strange...
Okay...fuckin prove it.
the same democrats who have stopped.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING?
That's not true.
They stopped the budget that enabled the murders of Luis Gustavo Núñez Cáceres, Geraldo Lunas Campos, Víctor Manuel Díaz, Parady La, Renee Nicole Good, Luis Beltrán Yáñez–Cruz, Heber Sánchez Domínguez and Alex Pretti. From not NOT passing.
Soooooo go on MSNBC and say "Hell no" and "over my dead body!"
And then Jon Stewart smash-cuts to a report revealing you actually voted "Yes"? Like always happens? Cool great awesome
Doubt it
Just like they 'didn't let' the GOP cut Medicare benefits by caving during the last shutdown? Oh wait...
Well, that confirms Trump is going to successfully nationalize the midterms.
(To be clear: we need to fight this every step of the way...)
Okay. So Democrats calling for a general work and tax strike until Donald Trump and his Cabinet step down. then?
Believe it when I see it.
If Trump tosses the Democrats out of Congress, Democrat congresspeople won't be able to collect their bribe money. They have a strong financial motive to stop Trump here.
I hate that this is true...
Bet
Thats a relief
