Meanwhile, in Germany 1934
Bukele will crack by the 18th hour of filibustering.
He's gonna get assassinated
The bottom line is that man will never be safe in this country again. This fascist regime has made sure of that. He will have a massive target on his back if he ever returns.
American fascism is here.
Lets not conflate Van hollen and Booker.
Van Hollen actually does good with his position and I dont see skeletons in his closet.
Booker is a centrist zionist bullshitter trying to ride van hollens coattails. Booker has done some good things, but when the chips are down and his vote is needed, he doesnt show up. A DNC democrat that needs to be removed along with the rest of the so called "liberals". Lets make these people wear their voting history and not adore them for their purely performative BS or empty words.
Tired of empty cult of personality democrats.
Hard agree. Underrated comment.
Well Booker is doing a hell of a lot more than most other reps when it comes to this, no need to shit on the dude.
Like, I'd take him over the GOP candidate that ran against him.
so would I, but why is our yardstick always "is he better than a republican". Thats exactly how we lose campaigns.
It's not but party unity is also important and we won't find perfection. Working within the confines of our real world is important but I agree that we need better representatives. Booker is just what our system gave us and he's a lot better than many alternatives and worse than others.
Mostly I think having a unified message and party is important but hard when you're dealing with people who actually care.
Most would agree he sounds better and seems to do better somewhat, but it is still hard to trust him.
Donald and his many goons has many skeletons in his cabinet. The only difference is, he’s showing it in real time.

He's definitely gonna run for president again and is trying to position himself as relevant. He'll never win.
"You won't have to vote ever again"
The Legislative and Judicial branches need their own armed forces in order to help provide a real counter to unconstitutional executive overreach.
If I were that man I would not want to return to the US. Send him somewhere safe.
His wife and child are American citizens. His life, job and friends are in the US.
It's not easy for people to give up the people and places they love.
Where would he go? If he doesn't have family anywhere else, how do you uproot your life and start 100% fresh elsewhere?
This is giving Jonestown
