"Help you carry the laundry upstairs? CAN'T YOU SEE I'M SITTING ON THE COUCH DOING NOTHING? Why do you HATE ME SO MUCH?!"

"Rinse my plate off after dinner? WHY DO YOU ATTACK ME LIKE THIS?"

Oh, I couldn't tell the difference. You're as delicate as a lil fella.
Nobody's bashed here, lil fella.
How is, "Do better" being bashed? Are you seriously that delicate that you think, "do better. Use the tools you have" is bashing? You'd never live through a period. Not even a light one for three days.
Precisely!
Lil fella is hurt because men are asked to do better when they absolutely can.
See? Can't have a chat like an adult. Always gotta go to insults, even when they don't make sense.
Now you're dragging the goalposts to 3rd parties? Who said anything about them here? You're grasping at straws bc you think D leadership men are above doing better & they're not. That's what's senseless.
Also, what I'm saying is precisely what other Dem members have said repeatedly for years. Senator Whitehouse & AOC are two that come to mind. MTG used the House rules VERY effectively to be a pain in the ass & ya know what? It worked.
For one, unanimous consent. Stop permitting it. Make it such a hassle to pass *anything,* even naming a post office, that they have to go through the motions. Call for a voice vote recorded on EVERYTHING. Make everything as awful as it can be til they get tired of it.
Nobody's bent out of anything other than you defending weak men who don't know how to hold people to account from their ripe position of leverage on those who will lose their seats.
Yes, it is limited. I never claimed otherwise. You're too busy defending their egos from the "trashing" of "do better" to see what I've said at all.
They're right here.
Nope. Their hands are not tied. They have hundreds of rules, esp Schumer, that can be used to halt everything, as I've already said. They won't use them. That's unacceptable.
Yes, I absolutely do talk about what Thune & Johnson are doing. I've mentioned them both by name more than once here. That doesn't mean Schumer & Jeffries get a pass. They can ALL do better.
Saying that Ds in leadership need to do better BECAUSE THEY DO isn't "trashing" them. Is your ego this delicate in every other place that, "Hey, do better" shatters your world? 😂 Your ego is shattered for two men you'll never meet? Know who else takes on another man's ego as their own?
I didn't trash anyone during the election other than Trump. Tf are you talking about "you did?" I don't know you from a hole in the ground. Your assumptions are irrational & incorrect.
I DO HOLD Rs ACCOUNTABLE. I'VE ALREADY COVERED THAT. I also HOLD the weaklings in the D leadership accountable. They're not saints & have room for improvement.

If I could scream this 24/7, it still wouldn't be enough to satisfy. WE'RE NOT HOSTAGES OUT HERE! It sucks, yes, but WE are NOT helpless bystanders!
FBI agent Denise played by David Duchovny and Dale Cooper, played by Kyle Maclachlan, Twin Peaks 1990
David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.
Congressional members, of BOTH parties, act as they do because WE, out here, are NOT helpless captives. When people are too unmotivated to even call once a week consistently to make it known what WE demand - tf does anyone expect? They're not waiting for your viral post to show up on the news.
What they could do as the minority in the Senate, if Schumer had the spine to do it - is use every one of those arcane Senate rules to throw sand in every gear to stop *any* procedure. But he won't bc he's from the institutional class, much like every other ancient Dem man in there.
Schumer & Jeffries have no authority to call either chamber back to the Capitol. What they can do when Mike & Thune do, is stop screwing us over while sending strongly worded memos - what Schumer has done twice already. Jeffries could do if he put the screws to only 2-3 Rs who won by under 5 pts.
Your insistence of slinging childish names, comparing people to animals (braying), insisting that it's "crying" to note that yes, Schumer & Jeffries have in fact, played along with the Rs - then pretending like you can't hold them, any of them, accountable is irrational.
We're not powerless. Congress, especially the minority party in the House with a margin of 2-3 under MAGA Mike's train wreck of what can't reasonably be considered leadership definitely isn't powerless either.
Jeffries, in particular, has such a small majority to get over in the House & MAGA Mike can't get his minions on the same page anyway. But he doesn't fight them as he should. Schumer laid down in October, then again in March when he didn't have to. Fk all that.
She is but she also deflected from the fact that Schumer & Jeffries have played along w Republicans. I hold Rs accountable, too. So much so that I never let up off of them in other districts & states. But I expect MY leadership to do better, as well. That's not to be dismissed.
Smells like booo-yaaah-nayyy-beee soooup-eeenn-aaaeee
US military member on site at the Kuwaiti port facility bombed by Iran where 6 US service members were killed & 20 injured - as well as others - refute Hegseth's account of the events.
Of course not. She didn't have enough spine to do it on the floor of the House for the survivors like she promised. She ran away like the coward she is because she never had any intention of doing that either. She's a shrewd coward opportunist carnival barker.
