The idea that threatening to primary Congressional Republicans who won't fall in line
six weeks after their election to a two-year term is a bit more comical than usual for memory-impaired MAGAts. That it seems to be mostly working *cough*
Tom Massie*cough*
Chip Roy*cough* is more than the usual problematic for Congressional dysfunction over said two years. Fun.
Are these people even capable of cognitive dissonance? I suppose we'll find out the hard way.
Is it possible our corporate media played a part in failing the nation's teachable moment? If you've been

Kay Granger wasn't reported missing for the past six months.
Team Donkey, to a somewhat greater extent than Team Pachy, is simply not a political party that welcomes young people. Zoomers, etc. please read the room and take the fewest steps to the exit.
DSA, I'm lookin' at
