These votes demonstrate that the Democratic Party functions not as an opposition but as an enabler of the Trump administration. Its priority is to ensure the uninterrupted funding of the US military while diverting popular opposition with calls for meaningless cosmetic changes to the administration’s efforts to establish a presidential dictatorship.
130M is fucking nothing. The “Big Beautiful Bill” that the GOP passed previously via VP tiebreaker and house reconciliation gave the DHS 85 Billion dollars. It’s going from $85,000,000,000 that they’ve already spent down to $0.
In theory, the GOP could do another similar bill with reconciliation, but why they haven’t is unclear and any DNC resistance would be futile.
I’m just pointing out that there is a private part willing to fund ice. You still seem to be of the opinion that this is going to end. Please wake up, for your own sake.
Look, if some mix of 7 DNC and IND decide to cross the aisle to fund the DHS and ICE, then you will have every right to be outraged about them crossing the aisle to fund the DHS and ICE. You’re not, in my opinion, justified to be mad about funding the IRS, SNAP, Medicaid, Housing Development, Education, Forestry Services, etc.
You still think this is a 4 year thing don’t you?
Oh, I’m a hardcore democrat. Yeah. I say, figuratively, Fuck Trump but I would literally consensually fuck Obama.
People who oppose the DNC are, in practice, opposing taxing the rich, opposing socialized healthcare, opposing free education, etc. They oppose progress.
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm. They are the same party.
To choose one of countless examples: 214 DNC and 4 GOP voted aye on the discharge petition to force the vote on releasing the Epstein Files.
And… they don’t actually release but 1% of them. So, what did the DNC do again?
I dunno about you, but “redacted” is not “released” unless they are hiding something.
And “redacted” == failure.
“They” don’t do anything because “they” don’t have them. GOP Donald Trump and the Department of Justice went into Contempt of Court because he didn’t release them. He also cannot be removed or held accountable without 20 GOP senator votes in addition to the DNC + IND.
To me the solution seems pretty fucking clear. Remove 20 GOP.
