In Springfield they’re eating the cats they’re eating the dogs of the people that live there 🎵🎵🎶
All the firings being announced, I think we’re going to see a lot more people souring on this administration as it starts to actually hurt average Americans. I mean, that’s a lot of damn jobs being terminated right now
Or we’ll just continue the collapse while half of us keep screaming that everything is woke and worse than it used to be until they themselves are also finally marched into the camps.
This administration will always need an out group. That’s how fascism “works”

When the shoe is on the other foot, Republicans lie down across the middle of the road to avoid signing bills they don’t agree with. And they do so until bills are stripped all the way down.
It’s very telling they’re resorting to screeching and threats. I hope the Dems hold out. Because I am tired.
Republicans demand to rule when they’re the minority. And they demand to rule when they’re the majority too.
Give it up for day 11 everyone
When those checks don’t hit the troops bank accounts.. do they “call in sick” and go Uber?
