    Wild he’s doing more leadership than Jeffries, who’s just using it as a campaign fundraiser 🤷🙃

    I just launched an emergency petition to show OVERWHELMING support for Pete Hegseth’s removal.

      What kind of ineffectual asswipe jumps on campaign fundraising a week after the election? What the fuck do you even need funds for right now, Hakeem? If you just did the fucking job and then listed all the stuff you got done, you wouldn’t even have to think about fundraising.

        The leader’s main job is fundraising. And recruiting candidates who can win. Jeffries has been very effective at both.

        He’s got committee chairs / ranking members to handle specific issues.

        He needs to campaign year-round to keep people from realizing how incompetent he is at actually legislating. He’s a professional campaigner, that’s all.

        And for some reason that’s who dems choose as their Speaker…?

    Wonder if this is an effort to get a new SecDef confirmed BEFORE Dems step in. That way the new one has no history…

      He isn’t an ally of any sort, but he does seem to be the last principled Republican. I’m sure his career is not over.

      Yeah, he was one of the last few republicans who hadn’t bought in fully to the trump cult-of-personality.

      The simple fact that he got primaried just goes to show how hopeless and irrecoverable that entire party is. The rot permeates republicanism at all levels.

      Maybe some voters still think there’s such a thing as a “moderate republican,” but they’re either lying to themselves or they live under a rock in blissful ignorance.

    How long do we think before the psyop bots finish their programming and return to continue to divide Americans?
