Do I have this timeline correct? Justice Brown-Jackson

She gave the 1st District 48 hours on Friday night to clear up the SNAP funding. If as assumed, she was taking the most expeditious route.

By Sunday, eight to ten Dem Senators caved.

Assume the bill passes tomorrow, then at best two days was saved.

Did the Dems get a guarantee that Trump would back off the States that funded the benefits? Likely hell no.

So again, people went to fight, won numerous elections on Tuesday, yet these Dem Senators allow the vote to save two days?

Not sure if the appeasers understand the potential impact of this vote

This has the potential of an 8.0 seismic event.

The Shitstain and Repukes have been running roughshod over the Country this year. We have had some fighters, basically the usual crew, those that get called communist and socialists by the Repukes, and too progressive by way too many Dems.

Then we get a couple of Dem Governors join the fray, in both cases they could have kicked back, let the Red States deal with the majority of the fall out.

In the case of Newsom, he fought for a proposition that had less than 40 percent approval out of the gate. Ended up winning by a two to one margin. Ads ran with all the usual crew (AOC, Bernie, Crocket, Obama) who put their asses on the line.

Then less than a week later, the non fighters cave, basically a direct FUCK OFF from the appeasement crowd.

You will see many posts from progressives stating donations will only go to progressive candidates, the logical next occurrence, a FUCK OFF back to those who have the gall to question progressives.

Now, I have already seen a post shitting on Newsom, are you fucking kidding me! I have two words for anyone making these types of statements.

Note: I was never a Bernie Bros., never voted for him, so for the appeasers, don’t kid yourself into thinking we will fall in line.

ARE YOU EFFIN KIDDING ME?!

How many people will die due to USAid cuts?
How many people will die due to Medicare cuts?
How many people will die due to ACA cuts?

The Repukes are on the ropes, took an ass whooping less than a week ago, and a deal that basically does nothing in the long term is being considered AND if reporting is to believed, has support of enough Dem Senators.

It is like the GOP took 1,000 hostages and will return one, the other 999 can literally die.

Guess what to those defending this shit, the Repukes will still come after the one saved AND more.

Another analogy, it is like being down by 5 points in a football game, ball at the opponents one, first down, end of the first half and then taking a knee. Because the opponent has been cheating, taking cheap shots, but they promised if you don’t score they MIGHT, play fair in the second half.

FFS!

About 75 minutes folks

How the hell does Cuomo have almost 1/3rd of the votes, based on polls?

Full disclosure, spent my entire life on the West Coast and don't take it personal New Yorkers, I also can't comprehend how Bostonian's, who are likely the most educated population per capita, yet buy donuts from Dunkin' Doughnuts.

With that, the guy is a friggen tool, a sexual harassment king, just basically a fucking asshole.

Does it come down to religion? race?

Haven't seen much discussion on this great news - Israeli protests

Great to see so many take to the streets. I feel for these folks, we are basically brothers in arms.

Need some insight

Why are Dems not gerrymandering the hell out of CA, MA, NY, and any other blue state?

I get why CA redrew districts 20 years ago. Ended up with much more logical districts that represented constituents.

But damn, if the Repukes are going to be cheating assholes, if the Courts are compromised, and if Repuke Reps refuse to do their job, and all are true, then why in the hell are Dems not giving the pukes a taste of their own medicine?

Too petty? I did some work in Kerville fifteen years ago

Got a list of donation options from a local. (Liberal)

I am thinking of sending 100 California Republic t-shirts.

Option to go through and ID.me route, issue is, when creating a user, the system won't send out a text message require to complete the log in process.
Other options are to log in via validation to upload front/back of Drivers License. GUESS WHAT!!!! Won't read the front side of my DL>

Looks like team ELOON is purposely fucking with log in.
