Apr 2025

Acting like you are going to cry and are so put out.
While you have a great salary, perks, pension, security, all tax payer funded.

Put on your big girl dress and do the right thing.

Hold press conferences. Get other senators to join you.
Talk about what is happening.

Switch parties, become an Independent.
Bernie Sanders risks his life every gd day.

You don't see him blubbering and feeling sorry for himself.

YOU ENABLED ALL OF IT! Basso8vb Apr 2025 #1

She voted to impeach Trump. One of the few who has stood up to the freedom caucus, MAGAs, and Trump. emulatorloo Apr 2025 #5

It was a safe vote for her though, she's voted for 99.9% of everything he's demanded otherwise. cstanleytech Apr 2025 #25

So you would have preferred her NOT to vote YES on impeachment? emulatorloo Apr 2025 #81

No, I'm saying that I doubt her sincerity. cstanleytech Apr 2025 #85

Hey Republicans DENVERPOPS Apr 2025 #29

They are afraid of their fucking shadows. Conservatives' lives are dominated by fear. It's in their DNA. Magoo48 Apr 2025 #58

The she needs to step aside JustAnotherGen Apr 2025 #22

I ask this and keep asking it: why only the Republicans? malthaussen Apr 2025 #23

It's cowardice. Democrats are more courageous because it takes courage just to say you're a Democrat. Walleye Apr 2025 #34

DEms are too. I heard Eric Swallwell talk about threats to his family and how he now has to spend a lot on security. Amaryllis Apr 2025 #51
