Let’s go TACO, let’s go!!!

Update: Yes, the Dems have been pretty much useless but they can’t do anything when they have no majority in either the House or Senate and Don TACO is ruling by EOs.

But this is how you get him and them. Fuck the high road, hit them at their level. Call them names like weirdos and TACO. If anything induce strokes in all of them.

      What policy are the national Democrats intended to be doing with their swanky majorities of -8 in the House of Representatives and -5 in the Senate?

      This is part of what the opposition is supposed to do. They criticise, make fun of, offer legislative resistance to, and draw attention to the bad policies of the government.

        Did you not watch middle aged Korean politicians scaling fences and grabbing stormtroopers’ guns in the streets?

        Why do you demand so little of your elected officials?

        They can stop 6-8 of their own members from voting in favor of fascism.

        They can make tangible changes in reality instead of lip service.

        They can form a coalition and physically restrict access to the senate floor so nothing else can pass.

        They can do a lot better if they weren’t complicit cowards

          What are some examples of non-lip-service changes to national policy that the Democratic Party could be making right now?

        The Filibuster Explained

        Some lawmakers acknowledge that the filibuster, which has effectively set a 60-vote supermajority requirement for passing legislation in the Senate, could doom many of the proposals they have championed

          Like the Republicans wouldn’t just get rid of the filibuster the first time it’s used against a major Republican policy objective

            That’s been the excuse since 2005, when Bill Frist dangled “Nuclear Option” over the judiciary committee and Democrats fell over one another confirming Bush judges as a result.

            Thankfully, the liberals aren’t living to regret any of that.

        I’m not sure exactly what, but it should be something closer to what many brave Americans did in San Diego and Minneapolis recently. Giving out free tacos is better than nothing I guess, but it’s not the level of effort their responsibilities require in the moment.

            Protestors surrounded gestapo goon squads to make everything more difficult for them, while shouting “SHAME” and “GET THE FUCK OUT”

        The story how they got to be a minority is an epic story of mismanagement, corruption and insanity that stretches over many decades.

        There is nothing wrong with free tacos, but it’s like polishing a mountain high turd
