What a disaster. Welcome back polio.
Future histories of the collapse of the US will include a section on the utter failure of checks and balances.
Future?
Failure? Looks like they were never even there in the first place.
All other western democracies use some sort of parliamentary system akin to what the English have, a party appointed Prime Minister with very limited power. Presidential systems always devolve into fiefdoms.
I was excited for a moment because read it as his personal physician.
Looks like we might be making trips to Canada to get vaccinated. Fucking weak ass Republicans.
Was a forgone thing given the makeup of the Senate. Facts and qualifications don’t matter if the orange one says so.
The servile republicans have done their duty to their orange lord again.
I begrudgingly respect Mitch McConnell for being the only dissenter, both here and with Tulsi Gabbard.
He’s still a piece of shit and I’d happily piss on his grave but he’s doing better than the rest of them in the face of the coup.
Good chance he wouldn’t have dissented if Trump’s picks weren’t going to pass without his vote.
Oh I have ZERO doubt
He’s always been a fuckin worm who’s sold out my mountains and the people who worked them.
Nah, he’s just at the end of his career and is no longer concerned with reelection while also 100% confident in the vote passing without his vote. He has the seniority to be allowed to have a “conscience vote” that the other members can’t have.
I can believe that about Gabbard, but McConnell had polio himself. It’s always different for Republicans if it’s about them.
Solid point. It is always the same story: the only moral abortion is mine, gay marriage is evil until my son/daughter comes out, get rid of all government programs except the one that benefits me, don’t vote against the party unless you have a personal reason not to.
I always think of Cheney suddenly not being a homophobe after his daughter came out.
They ARE the coup.
Well, maybe we’ll get lucky and this will result in conservatives depleting their numbers. Natural selection and all…
I remember hearing the same thing about Covid.
Hahahaha 😆
