😂😂😂😂

The White House is seeking to send a message to reticent Senate Republicans to get on board with all of President Donald Trump’s nominees, warning of political consequences for those who defy him.

“It’s pass-fail. You either support everyone or you don’t,” a senior White House official told NBC News. “The Senate needs to advise and consent, not advise and adjust.”

The Republican-controlled Senate gave Trump a scare Friday when Pete Hegseth squeaked through by the slimmest possible margin, losing three GOP senators and requiring Vice President JD Vance to break the tie to confirm him as secretary of defense.

Yet the US taxpayer is the one who pays their salaries, benefits and perks.
They live a life we cannot even imagine.

Fascist don't honor the constitution, and because of that they're domestic enemies. There seems to be a growing number of appeasers, it's not sitting well with me. It's a simple question. Are you for freedom and democracy, or a fascist dictatorship? There's now wishy-washy in between.

This is schoolyard-level bullying.

It works alarmingly well.

Conservatives have been grooming their minions to accept, nay, to embrace, this tribalism for decades.

Selfish - sniveling - cowards.
They don't really care about their constituents nor the country as a whole.

I mensch would stand up for their principles.
Oh wait! ...
