Is that the “Right” question?

If you ignore the past, you can’t repeat it.

Republicans have made themselves into murderous reptiles.

They want a dictator over American Constitutional Democracy.

They willfully spread covid, a preventable but deadly disease, all over the country.

They do not believe in truth, justice, science or reality, they only believe their own lies.

No problem, we’ll start as soon as you’re a pair of shoes.

You forgot the one tear coming out of it’s eye.

Why is it that the democrats have to give up and be nice? When it was the republikkkans who were the a-holes in the first place.

Because republicans still think its their world.

Thoughts and prayers. let the healing begin. Just more empty catch phrases from the cult of republicons.

The most vicious killer always begs for forgiveness.

The nationalist tea- party movement has taken over from the rational fiscal conservative Republicans, RIP Republican morals.

Healing begins by holding the criminals accountable – including the elected officials who foment and facilitate violent insurrection and attempt to destroy Democracy.

That’s them to the “T” in that alligaTor’s tail aka "T"reasonous GOP.

You don’t need to worry about sticks and stones breaking your bones once the GOP has already eaten you.

Not while ever you display a complete lack of morals, we can’t.

“The implication is the usual one: we—urban multiethnic liberal-to-radical only-partly-Christian America—need to spend more time understanding MAGA America. The demands do not go the other way. Fox and Ted Cruz and the Federalist have not chastised their audiences, I feel pretty confident, with urgings to enter into discourse with, say, Black Lives Matter activists, rabbis, imams, abortion providers, undocumented valedictorians, or tenured lesbians. When only half the divide is being tasked with making the peace, there is no peace to be made, but there is a unilateral surrender on offer. We are told to consider this bipartisanship, but the very word means both sides abandon their partisanship, and Mitch McConnell and company have absolutely no interest in doing that.”

They need a new Animal. Orange Twitler is planning to steal the Elephant for His new MAGAt party.

Not as a symbol. They needed something exotic to serve at their Bar-B-Que.

The crocodile would make a fitting replacement for the elephant as a symbol for the Republicans. Elephants are smart and compassionate. Crocodiles are primarily just killing machines.

The Croc would be the first in line to get vaccinated for something they believe it was a hoax. It would cry for the stimulus check not coming on time thinking it was too much for the poor.

NO!!

Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona are the two Democratic senators who are blocking the Democrats from getting rid of the filibuster. Without it, the Democrats would be able to pass laws with a 50% vote, could ignore accommodating the Republicans and we could actually accomplish something. Their reasoning is that once the filibuster is gone, the Republicans would do the same thing once they were back in power. But, what’s to keep them from doing it whether the Democrats do or not? Democrats need to kill the filibuster, start fixing the country and make so much progress without the Republican obstruction that the voters never want to vote Republican again!!
