Democrats need to stop helping Republicans with anything. No Democratic votes for anything they propose.

That's what Jeffries has said.----Jason

Democrats should work on stronger back bones and a bit more chutzpah. Time to realize Donald cares only for his own self interest, unfortunately why bother with the presidential oath 🇺🇸, it’s meaningless to him:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Republicans that refuse Federal money to the fires in LA will be very sorry. California pays a huge amount of money into the government which supports the poor states. That money is for American citizens who have been paying for times such as these disasters. Denying help is war.

When 25% of every dollar of federal tax I paid went to welfare states I was ok with helping fellow citizens. No more, if they think they can crap on the 7th largest economy in the world, California should give them a preview of what happens in their little corner of America when California isn’t propping them up.

CA’s economy is even larger than that - the 5th largest economy in the world.

It's about time that the Democrats developed a spine. We should learn from past trumplican party tactics.

I think that is a simplistic and inaccurate description of the Democrats.

One major Party only exists, or so it appears, to serve each other and those with money who want what they want.

The Democrats are focused on the Greater Good, benefits, the Commons, the future of the US and the lives of each of us. They can't lie like the GOP because their actions are public.

Agreed, but they only react and are/have been never proactive but rather reacting to the trumplican actions/positions making things more difficult to do the right thing ahead of trumplican onslaught.

Or any of the R long game they’ve been playing for decades. Gutting education and poisoning the media are but two examples.

I no longer am a Democrat because I believe there was fraudulent activity in the last election. I agree they need a spine. I also want them to take credit for everything they do. We aren't dealing with a other party that has any integrity it's run by criminals.

Jeffries knows this:

Let the Republicans flounder! Don't lift a figure to help them! You have done it before and it lead to many Democrats going down in the 2024 election. We need more Democrats in the House in the Senate. The 2024 election shows what happens to Democrats when they cooperate with Republicans. Democrats get no credit for what they did to help pass legislation, but Republicans get it all!

“Crash and burn” should be the theme of trump’s inaugural address

Anyone with any kind of large platform should be screaming from the rafters about how wrong trump voters were to vote for trump. It is going to be hard to watch trump screw millions of his voters without feeling some Schadenfreude towards their pain. Hell is going to burn them badly and repeatedly over the next 2-4 years. Hell is coming for everyone in one way or another. Commander Pete is just the beginning.

That is a good idea, but I think that we are all already tied into a downhill trip with very bad people. I'm already doing practical preparations like stocking up on items that I count on, and actually saving cash, hoping that it can retain value, because I'm not feeling my usually hopefulness.

Food, I'm storing food. I'm worried about prices, yes, but what if the shelves are empty. I can do a lot of sacrificing. I dont need the latest greatest of anything and I have books to curl up with at night to keep me warm. Wouldn't be the first time I've been hungry I suppose. But damn it, I intend to go to bed at night with a full belly for as long as I possibly can.

We will NOT raise the debt limit. GOP cannot govern. This will be an unwinnable war on the assault of our constitution. Tough Tuna, Mr. Johnson - you bit off more than you can chew and I hope you choke!

No Dem votes to help pass Trumps agenda? Works for me!

In my view, there is no republican party anymore. The inmates are running the asylum. Now, the head of the asylum is asking the Democrats for help. I say let him fix this mess he created by himself.

My hope is that all the democrats in the house will grow b’s and vote against whatever the MAGAs are trying to push through. Whatever the bill says, it will not help the very rich and the people who voted for them will be the ones who will suffer from it.

Hope Hakeem and the Democrats watch as the new Republican Chaos oops (not really) House Republicans try to govern by themselves and crash and burn. They’ve lied too many times to be believed and there’s no reason to help the Trump agenda.
