Someday, when this horrid chapter of our nation is finally over, there had better be some Nuremberg type trials for all the psychopaths that comprise this administration. We cannot allow the Democrats' normal B.S. of letting the past be the past and moving on - not holding this kind of corrupt evil to account will only ensure it is repeated in the future.

Democrats, the establishment/pro-corporate type Dems aren't going to help us fight back, get a spine, unless and until masses of their own voters call, write, show up at their offices and complain. "Bipartisanship" is STILL big on these Dems' lists as "things to do" with the fascist party.

Unlike me, the vast majority of Americans aren't doing anything about this problem.

Bipartisanship now is the singularly most dangerous thing some Democrats are doing today.

No, its up.to We The People! I have called democratic senators and congressmen and told them to wake the fuck up and stop all this bipartisan bullshit and fight dirty like the republican do.

I’m sick of Dems asking for money. For what? It didn’t help last election. The party needs to DO something. But in the meantime it’s up to us - We The People. So carry

on. Keep protesting, calling , emailing, letters to the editor.

Let the Party know how you feel in no uncertain terms.

Not on your life. Dems are spineless which is why I re-registered as an Independent. Republicans lie beautifully where Dems stare like a deer in headlights.

Normalization is going on EVERY damn day by the only party left. Katie Phang on her YT channel, invited CONservative House rep, Tom Suozzi to talk about "bipartisanship" with the fascists via immigration.

I prompty left the site after I left an angry comment about that putrid practice of some Democrats, including both my own 2 female Dem senators here in Nevada.

Could you name one SENSIBLE, SANE "moderate," cabinet member psychopath Donny has appointed to his cabinet? Well, Dem senator, Jacky Rosen, seems to think it's out of bounds to ask her not to keep voting for any of his cabinet choices, if SHE THINKS they "are reasonable."

I emailed her repeatedly to stop all bipartisanship & that was her response to me.

And Democratic pro-corporate/establishment types wonder why their ratings are worse than the fascists...

BTW: It's not as though Reichwing lead senate doesn't have a majority to get their choices of putrid through all by themselves.

Why aren't more Americans demanding the end to bipartisanship with MAGAts with their (D) reps??

Nothing good ever comes of this!!

Totally agree. So disappointed in Rosen - I'm not a Nevada resident but I've sent money to her campaigns for years. I'll be crossing her off my donation list. How can she think ANY of Trump's administration picks are reasonable? Hegseth? Noem? Patel? McMahon? Bondi? None of them are remotely qualified and all of them are sycophants. Furthermore, Democrats do not engage in "bipartisanship". That implies a sense of compromise from both sides. Democrats engage in capitulation - give MAGA what it wants and the Dem electeds get to keep their seats. We really need to replace the complacent old guard with legislators who want to vigorously oppose authoritarianism and who strive to fully represent the interests on the people.

😆 🤣 😂 I'm not laughing at your husband disease, it's how you said " I hope they guide him back to the nursing home after" This idiots doest know that 49% of those on Medicaid are babies and children and children cant work the fields. he rest are elderly and disabled,, yes, there's a small percentage of able body Americas on.medicaid who are already working making minimum wage and qualify for medicaid because they can't afford their employee insurance. This administration is just stupid as F**k!

Where are those lazy bums that are not working? According to Google AI overview, 62.3% in America are working or looking for work. That means 37.7% are not. Who are these no good for nothing lazy bums?

According to Google AI, 18% are 65 and older and 22% are children under 18. You add that 40% to 62.3% and we're already over 100%. We haven't even added in SSDI or the prison population. There are probably more groups here I have not thought of.

We can only conclude that Republicans want to send seniors and children to the fields to pick food, to do construction of all kind, to wash dishes, to clean hotel rooms and to provide seasonal work.

Do you actually believe AI? I worked for the Center of Medicare Medicaid Services (CMS); I know the numbers. The numbers you're presenting are incorrect. The majority of those on Medicaid are poor whites in red rural states, and their children and babies, followed by the disabled, senior citizens, veterans, and a small majority of the low working class who cannot afford their employer's healthcare plan and receive Medicaid because they meet the federal poverty guidelines to receive it. Do your own research and don't just Google it, which isn't always up-to-date or factual.

"Able-bodies adults on Medicaid" seems like an oxymoron to me.
