Jawdropping.

You would expect this in a dictatorship, not the United States.

There are 13 members of Trump's Administration who are independently worth more than 10 times the combined worth of Biden's entire administration combined.

And that's not even counting Elon.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

My experience is similar w this PT. You'd think someone who's felt the pain of disbelief & unacceptance, could empathize w the fight of pw #MEcfs, but no. He is unrelentless in his trolling against people just trying to get their lives back.

Thanks, @davetuller1.bsky.social for calling him out.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. @davetuller1.bsky.social is the last person you’d want to level a half-baked challenge on the topic of exercise and #LongCOVID/#MECFS against, because he always has the science to back it up. Don’t bring sticks of butter to intellectual lightsaber duals

Step Down Schumer

WE ARE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Not a protest-it's reform
BOLD WINNING LEADERSHIP
No more weak, defensive politics
BOTTOM-UP REFORM
Power starts locally-senate, statehouses, city councils
YEAR-ROUND ORGANIZING
Permanent voter engagement, not just election cycles
TAKE BACK THE NARRATIVE
A people-driven agenda, not D.C. consultants
STRONGER MESSAGING
No more cautious, poll-tested politics - real conversations, real actions
A PARTY THAT FIGHTS
Take on obstruction, corruption, and media bias- without hesitation

Their response is, 'Well, get ready for a rocky ride & by the way, we're gonna give tax cuts to the top 20% of earners & pay for it by taking away healthcare from people who need healthcare'"

This is Chuck.

Chuck is selling a book.

Chuck also has a full-time job.

I would consider buying Chuck’s book if he were doing that job, but he’s not.

Don’t be like Chuck.

And don’t buy Chuck’s book.

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · Mar 16

It gets worse. Schumer isn’t just going on a book tour—he’s charging for tickets.

Absolute insanity. While Americans are scared and in crisis mode, he’s basically saying, let them eat cake.

@schumer.senate.gov Step Down.

Wow.

Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC.

“I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!”

Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out.

We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.
