37. This isn't about discharge petitions

Sun Mar 8, 2026, 08:42 PM

Sunday

This is about an upcoming vote for supplemental funding for this ignorant war.

The vast majority of people do not support this and they could not get a war powers resolution passed in the House or the Senate because it had Democrats that voted against it.

He doesn't have control of his caucus. They currently have a one vote majority, defeating things like this should be pretty easy.

Let's be clear, I'm of the mind that Democrats should not do a damn thing and literally do everything legally in their power to grind government to a halt. Mango Mussolini is a pedophile and until Republicans agree to do something about it we shouldn't be doing anything. Nothing.
