That sucks. Tulsi and Kash are the two most important of all IMO.

All she had to do is say Snowden was a traitor. Lol

As if that would have changed things…

And then for good measure work to primary everybody that voted against his agenda that are allegedly Republicans, and have the 120th Congress confirm ever last one of them.

Cornyn has been Mitch's boy. He's butthurt he didn't get the speakers job.

But he'll run and again and say I'm going to Washington and roll up my sleeves and work for you and get reelected

When you are trying to change the status quo you can’t allow the status quo to make the decision

While I love the sentiment this is more difficult than it seems:

1. The House and Senate have to disagree on convening or adjournment.

2. A disagreement between the bicameral body has never occurred and the president exercising his constitutional powers in this manner has never occurred.

3. Going this route burns a lot of political capital.


Alternate method would be to make RFK Jr. an Acting appointment for at least 210 days, maybe 300 days depending on if the law considers Trump a “new administration”. Let him wreck shop for 210 days.

They don't give a shite about what we think.

They care about what their fellow club members think.

Tulsi Gabbard is a rare former Democrat who dared to challenge the Democratic establishment. She confronted the party's most powerful players. In 2020, she unmasked Kamala Harris at the debates and instantly became a dangerous threat to them.

She also threatens many on the Right, too. They don’t like that she refuses to call Edward Snowden as “traitor.” So on and on it went, yet another Cotton Mather tribunal aimed at her to admit out loud something they know she does not believe. What they wanted from her was a lie. They wanted her to prove to them that she would bow down, that she was afraid of them, and that she wanted the job enough to do what they told her to do.

If they can get her to betray her principles and lie about what she believes in her mind and heart, they know they can convince her to say or do anything. Well, she is not a corrupt politician or a dishonest person, and shame on them for that grotesque circus we just watched.
