21. If you're telling me that it took massive protests

Sat Mar 14, 2026, 01:23 PM

Mar 14

to get Democrats in Congresss to grow balls and step up to use the power they have to block ICE funding, then protests don't have the weight of the numbers they are drawing. Motivating Democrats to stop their nest feathering for a few minutes to do their job isn't what I'm thinking when I'm at a protest. What I'm thinking is to put fear into enough Republicans to impeach, remove, then put the orange headed buffoon on trial and in prison, and I'd be happy with just the impeach and remove at this point. Local protests in Minnesota got Bongino bounced.
