17. The net worth of many of those congresspeople. That will change for the better (for them).
Sat Dec 27, 2025, 03:36 AM
Saturday

I would absolutely love to go on and on about how the new Dem majority will go scorched earth on the thieves, pedos, liars, cheats and chuds on the other side. But lets be real. They won't. It'll be all reflect and repair as always. Hours and hours of meaningless speeches doing nothing. Move forward to heal the nation without any sort of retribution. No fucking consequences.

And the rich assholes will walk. Punishment isn't in the party nature, unfortunately. For a number of reasons I suspect.

I'll leave it there. TOS and community standards and all.

For the record, I want so badly to be wrong. I want the entirety of DU to tell me how much of a moron I am, to have not had faith, not believed. How dare I. I want to be wrong.
