3. Plenty of Democrats have responded as they should have, but it matters little when Republicans control everything.

Start putting pressure on Republicans to stop this because Democrats can't until we vote them back into power.

4. 100%!!!! Where are the DEMS! I know the GOP is in power, but the Democrats need to be fighting back

I don't know if it's just my perception, but it seems like the Democrats are just standing back, along with the GOP. I understand the GOP is in power, but, for goddsake, every Dem needs to be on every media outlet screaming about this. And fighting back, not just with words, but with action. File every legal challenge there is, get with their still sane GOP representatives (if there are any) and get them on board to fight the f*ck back! Be like Gavin Newsom: fight with real action, not just words.

How is it possible for a President to call a hostile airstrike on a country like this? That's not a rhetorical question, I'm truly flummoxed, frustrated, and terrified at the lack of checks and balances.

WTF are we doing??????????????????????????????????

.... but you know, an EMERGENCY, by definition, should at least warrant them getting their collective ASSES on planes and sitting on those steps to the fucking capitol as if their LIVES depended on it...

and at the rate we're going, they better believe that the tangerine demnon will make good on his promise to go after Dems and "take them out" ...

we're not playing anymore kids. fuck midterms, we have lost our government
