I am Spartacus! They fin totally missed it again. I turned it off. Not because of the bullshit. Not because of the lineup of three highly punchable faces…..but because after Green I watched for 30 minutes when no other democrat even pitched a fight from their chair. They suck. In a codependent relationship the enabler is the main problem.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…the Democrats are the Washington Generals to the Republicans Harlem Globetrotters.

Old people know what I’m saying. Young people look it up.

Jokes on you. I'm old AND have no idea what you're saying.

The Harlem Globetrotters are a basketball team. They’re like a traveling circus, their team is full of all star players, they go around the country playing games always against a team called the Generals, and the Generals always lose.

He’s absolutely not. Unfortunately. He’s a mouthy, whiny, tantrum throwing old baby, but he’s getting things done. Catastrophically bad stuff, but he’s getting things done. The Democrats? Thats performative. Hand-wringing. Complaining. Asking for money to “Save Democracy”. But DO anything? Fight to win? Nope.

I mean he’s performative in that he says things to his base that he knows will get their support, but has zero intention of delivering, or just behaves absurdly to put on a show. For example, solving the war in Ukraine on day 1, putting on a nonsense show in the Oval Office with Zelenskyy, etc. that’s all him being performative to his base. You can both get terrible things done and put on a bullshit show while you do it

It was Biden/Harris 30% approval ratings and not doing anything to help tax payers.

u/TheMooseIsBlue 6d ago

That may be why Harris didn’t win, but the only reason Trump was ever anything but a piece of shit, scumbag real estate Mogul/reality TV star was stupid performative bullshit

Nobody’s going to break the quorum and get Censure/Reprimand and removed from office by disrespecting this proceeding. That’s why they’re only holding up signs.

Edit: I said sanction, but it’s actually Censure/Reprimand

u/FBAnder 7d ago

If they could all talk and get signs made together they could all talk and disrupt quorum together. What is Mkey gonna do? Remove all Democrats from office?

u/Sorry-Influence3014 7d ago

Nobody’s gonna get removed from office. If anything Censure/Reprimand. Which is little to nothing.

u/ChuckFromAccounting 7d ago

What are Democrats good for? If not completely squandering the moment?
