pretending we are still a democracy.

The confirmation hearings are just Kabuki Theater. The FBI didn't even vet the nominees and Democrats let them get away with it. Find a damn microphone and ask for names, who neglected to follow through? Whoever fluffs Trump the best gets an important job.

Congress is run by Musk/Trump and billionaires. Pimp Johnson follows orders.

What the hell happened to my Senator, Fetterman? I was duped, I gave him money.
