Doubt. The last time a Republican went against the party in a way that actually mattered, that Republican was dying of brain cancer and had nothing left to lose.

There's 53 Republican senators. You'll see the 'moderates' take turns 'taking a stand' for stuff without ever blocking anything. They played that game last time, and Democrats do the same thing where they find ways to not pass stuff that would anger the donors.

Congress is a puppet show.

More honest headline: "Murkowski Lies In Order to Pretend To Be Moderate Again"

Her and Susan Collins will only ever vote against nominees that they know will still have enough votes to be confirmed anyway.

Even if you discount murkowski and collins (the ones that usually have these bouts of integrity) they still have the votes to approve.

but of course there's no need to discount anyone because murkowski and collins fall in line almost every time after they have baited all the left and center media into giving them the hero headlines.

Imagine if Congress actually utilized the power they hold instead of constantly giving it up.

One of my arch enemies is Devin Nunes. He personally put the brakes on any congressional oversight into the trump administration. There are worse people in this world but that fucker set the tone for how congress was going to treat that ass bag traitor.

the same fbi that got its balls hacked off while it 'investigated' kavanaugh, election interference and obstruction (among other things).

Me watching as the ancients slowly strip away everything that makes us human:

As you slowly realize death is an illusion and you're the fool for ever believing you would be so lucky to enjoy its sweet release. Your fate is to spend eternity watching the world around you become more twisted and the people you loved morph into homunculus that feel only hate; and relish the suffering of others. As the planet burns up in a blanket of carbon spewed into the atmosphere by the demons who've tortured you your entire life. Hell, you've been in hell the entire time and part of the torment was knowing joy and feeling hope and believing others could wish it for you; as you did for others.

See, he said roe v made was settled law. There's no way he was insincere when he said that. Otherwise people might get to thinking he did try to rape that women.

Recess appointment don't give a shit.

So, exactly like the last 24 years. Got it.

But don't forget, they're going to get this all straightened out in 2 years. Don't give up the fight! Resist, and spend all your political energy on the party that can't beat orange painted hitler grandpa.

Dont worry, autocrats are known for freely ceding their power.

And don't you dare say Dems are a sunk cost.
