congratulations MAGAts. your “AnTi wAr” president is now in yet another war. and your congress has decided the president can declare any war they want, without approval.

didn’t you have some random papers saying “we the people“?

And John Fetterman. He’s just waiting for Democrats to win 51 Senate seats in November, then he’ll switch parties to throw control back to Republicans.

I'm surprised he doesn't have even more security than the president given how he'd be replaced by someone better if something pretty funny happened.

He’s a mess. He might do something funny to himself soon.

spinless worms that give worms a bad name.

I hope the precedent that Republicans have set gets turned on them in the future.

They actually don't know how....

Why are we electing people who don't understand how to use the Rules of Order?
