Thank you. Everyone should be saying this.

Um, if it was a “good financial philosophy” they wouldn’t need at $20b bailout, would they?

Who could have foreseen electing the world's worse Dunning-Kruger case might create problems? Literally no one could have predicted this.

"We are doing studies to make the proof." The average 4th grader knows that's not how science works.

Cue "Democrats in disarray" stories.

There's a lot of cognitive dissonance involved in believing that the shutdown is the Dems' fault while watching videos from Trump celebrating the destructive powers it gives him.

It's good to hear from a D.C. Democrat who clearly understands the new reality we are living in. I hope his colleagues listen to him.

It's like he's a robot programmed by Democratic consultants. Any input = "Pivot to healthcare as quickly as possible." The POTUS just announced his intention to unleash the military on the American people for fuck's sake.

Meanwhile, Democrats in D.C. robotically retreat to poll-tested soundbites about healthcare fed to them by Democratic consultants. History will judge their cowardice just as harshly as it judges Trump's dictatorial ambitions.

Absolutely pathetic. This is why, as hated as Trump is, Democrats poll worse. No one respects cowardice.

YES! He can put his "CLIMATE HERO AWARD" on a shelf at Mar-a-Lago next to his MULTIPLE Nobel PEACE Prizes for ENDING 7 WARS THAT THEY SAID "NO ONE" COULD END (no help from the useless UN), and his Nobel PRIZES in CHEMISTRY and MEDICINE for CURING Autism. #TRUMPWASRIGHTABOUTEVERYTHING

People are so unfair to Trump. He has a whole extra month to destroy more of our cherished democratic institutions before we get to the 9-month mark.

Pete Bilderback @wpbilderback.bsky.social · 28d

It's so infantile and pathetic.

Fanta was developed by Coca-Cola in Nazi Germany because the Germans couldn’t get ingredients critical to making Coca-Cola. It’s actually a pretty ugly history.

Not just excusing, but encouraging.

It hurts me to say this nails it.

It won't. Republicans are okay with it. Democrats won't talk about it because their consultants have told them never to talk about anything other than the price of eggs.

If that's what making America healthy again sounds like, I'd just as soon stay sick.

I was a heroin dealer. Oh, wait, no, I wasn't. I'd be in jail if that were the case because I wasn't born into a wealthy and influential family.

Ladapo has an MD and Ph.D. from Harvard. He's not a moron. He's something much worse. What do you call someone who knowingly takes actions that will kill thousands of children?

Stop the presses!! Susan Collins is alarmed.

Many Democratic officeholders also need to reconsider this.

So, it turns out you can't actually secure an indictment against a ham sandwich (or a person for throwing one).
