Why is he gone?

I dunno man. In the last three days I’ve found myself agreeing with not only AOC, but also Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar on various things. 2021 fixing to be absolute bizarro world if this trend keeps up.

AOC’s follow up tweets are fucky though. Part of her job is to work with people she doesn’t like, she needs to suck it up and be an adult about it.

His choice…

If only the former celebrity in chief and his administration took that advice…

One doesn’t have to be progressive to just agree with sensible things. And that’s the problem these days, someone could say “The sky is blue” but if someone from the wrong team says it, then nobody can agree to it. Political parties should die.

I mean, I agree. Trump is petty like a lot of people are petty and he’s thin skinned to the point of it being a problem. But sometimes it gets in the way of doing the job and doing good things. Like anytime someone would say, “Well, I wouldn’t talk to Kim Jong Un” basically because Trump said he would, it made me mad because like, that’s their fucking JOB. It’s called diplomacy and if people actually talked to Kim Jong Un, maybe, just maybe we save the lives of the people who live under his thumb over there.

AOC should delete her twitter too imo. Trump’s was entertaining early on, but as time went on, it just became him ranting rather than using it to get people to do things or being entertaining.

So wait, is Alex this “anon8976549826534975623” account here now?

RNC Will Not Back Trump in Primary if He Runs Again, Will Stay Neutral

The Republican National Committee (RNC) will not back former President Trump if he chooses to run for office again in 2024 and will instead remain neutral, RNC chair Ronna McDaniel indicated in a Wednesday interview with the Associated Press.

“The party has to stay neutral. I’m not telling anybody to run or not to run in 2024,” McDaniel said, walking the fine line as polls continue to indicate that a sizeable portion of the GOP base continues to back and support the former president.

“That’s going to be up to those candidates goi

I’m talking about all of them but she just happened to voice it. You don’t get to pick who your colleagues are and being a spoiled petty asshole because you don’t like someone and don’t want to work with them is luxury few of us normal folks get. She doesn’t like Ted Cruz? Fine. Resign and give the seat to someone who’s willing to do the job and not complain about having to work with people they don’t like.

No.

These past “debates” were bad comedy by senior citizens.

I don’t want octogenarians on the stage shitting the place up.

In a perfect world, Andrew Yang would just come back in - and play a highlight reel of his sensible DNC campaign speeches juxtaposed against the fallout of 2020, and hopefully he’ll master the “I told you so” expression as it plays on. :stuck_out_tongue:

Where the damn Gen X politicians at?! My generation is a bit too apathetic it seems. :sob:

You’re seriously expecting her to suck it up and work specifically with the guy who two weeks ago helped gas some dudes up who would definitely have tried to kill her given the opportunity?

Yes because that’s the job. Cruz is a spineless pantywaste, but he’s her colleague and her playing up the Capitol riots for sympathy and excuses not to work with people is dogshit. Resign if you don’t want to do the job. That goes for all of them.

Trump should have resigned loooooong time ago…

Nah. If given the option for picking a partner to create bipartisan legislation it’s totally OK to exclude the dude with direct ties to people trying to kill you

He can vote yes after the fact, but that’s as far as his help goes

“direct ties” Got a source for that?

Outside of being generally dramatic (“they were trying to killlll meeeeee!”) she wasn’t very sympathetic to the folks that got caught in the crossfire of the riots this year so I don’t feel bad for her. Typical politician, when shits bad for common folks it’s not that big a deal, but when it hits too close to home, NOW we gotta stop the presses and deal with it. Yawn.

I would say it’s pretty hard to work with someone that helped incite a group of people trying to kill you, regardless of the job.

It’s pretty moot, because with one of them in the House and the other in the Senate there’s not actually much work they’d be called on to do “together” anyway.
