NO WAR FOR OIL!
Make grifting and lying illegal, and impose consequences on grifting liars!
Violence isn’t a value.
Wealth does NOT equal smart.
Racism is real, freedom for all.
Running a gov (for people) is not like running a biz (for profit).

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet
Nobody in the current regime would last one day in a barista-level position.

To do what, exactly? The House will be back on Tuesday. You, as in literally you as an individual member of the House all on your own, could force a privileged vote on impeachment (among a variety of other possible measures) and it would then get a vote no later than Thursday.
Speaker Johnson must call the House of Representatives back into session immediately to reign in this out-of-control President.
