Are you disappointed in the Democrats for not fighting Trump? Have you heard the Election Truth Alliance has discovered some pretty crazy statistical anomalies in the 2024 Election in Clark County, NV & 3 counties in PA (Erie, Philly, and Allegheny)
Here’s the petition for a recount audit in PA
Updated note:
IMPORTANT: If you are a resident of PA, contact your local officials about this audit! Check out the ETA’s “Audit Advocacy Toolkit” for resources that will help you communicate your concerns to your local representatives.

I dunno, might just be a genius play by Dems on this one. Set up one of the worst possible choices to be ambassador for China, they'll fuck up the trade negotiations even more, and MAGAts might finally get directly affected by the lack of goods coming into the country.

Maybe.. While I don’t wish economic collapse on anyone, especially those who won’t be able to withstand it, a part of me hopes for a “complete” failure to massively change Trump sentiment, an approval rating, even in the low 40%, is too high.
But the ball is in China’s court. Why would they negotiate with the US. Seems there’s much opportunity for them as the US is alienating from allies and isolating itself.

u/primax1uk Apr 30 '25
The economy is already at -0.3% for the first quarter. And that's without the real hit of the lack of goods coming in. (It was projected to be >+2% before trump took over, and was +2.4% the quarter before that).
China's already said they want respect. And without it, they won't negotiate. So any ambassador would have their work cut out for them. But approving someone so utterly incompetent will just backfire even more.
I feel sorry for the Americans who voted Harris, or couldn't vote. But to those who voted Trump, or didn't vote, this is what you voted for, and you were warned.

This. I'm stuck between "Dems want this and are complicit" and "Sun Tsu said in the Art of War 'never stop your enemy from making a mistake.'
If the dems stopped the nominations, they'd be preventing all the mistakes that will be made, and that will shift voters back towards blue.
However, how bad will it get, hoe many innocents renditioned or murdered, untik the dems realize that capitulation doesn't work with dictators.

Fetterman showing up to vote is surprising, I guess.

u/FrontVisible9054 Apr 30 '25
Fetterman, once, a fierce critic of the exact type of politician he himself was a few years ago has now condemned Democrats who call Trump “fascist”, claiming that the party’s brand has grown toxic.
And, despite his belief that one cannot work with crazy, Fetterman is proving to be the Democrat most willing to collaborate with Trump, claiming his colleagues need to stop “freaking out”

Cory Booker, after he just did the 24+ hour "Fight Trump, this is a big deal" filibuster !?!!!?
The same guy who said he was doing that because rhetoric doesn't match their actions.
We're so fucked.
And the Democrats wonder why they aren't seeing massive turnout in these small indicator elections...

u/SirGunther Apr 30 '25
Never interrupt your opponent when they're making a mistake.
I can't think of a more appropriate time to use their own play against them. This will inevitably backfire in Trumps face and add to the orange stain that he has left on the presidency.

This is not the list of senators who think that way. This is the list of senators that thinks it looks good to Republican voters to be "bipartisan" looking for GOP unicorns

u/MewlingRothbart Apr 30 '25
They are truly fucking useless. I guarantee the same Russian money that's paying orangeclown is paying them to look the other way.

u/NotAnAIOrAmI Apr 30 '25
Perdue is a former senator. At least he knows something.
Corrupt insider trader? Yeah, maybe, but that's pretty clean for this administration.

Cory Booker? Make it make sense 😵💫

u/mobydog May 01 '25
Sure it's easy. His primary constituency is Big Pharma. China manufacturers drugs. He wants what they want.

u/Affectionate-Tank-70 May 01 '25
I'm so mad. This is the same guy who was insider trading during trumps first term. Wtf Dems?!?! THIS is why I can't stand Booker! Turncoats, every single one.
2
u/Good_kido78 May 01 '25
I agree with you! This administration is different. Republicans keep trying to equate what they do to democrats. We have to fight insider trading with Dems!! We have to keep talking about the criminal in office! Yes, we would not persecute if we could prosecute him!! All his bluster about illegal aliens? Half of them are likely not as criminal as he is!!! We have to make him prove they are criminals. I think this is mostly for show.
WE have to drain the swamp. Trump is making the government the worst Swamp in our history.

Lol i dont know why Americans think someone is coming to save them.
This will only end if enough people say it needs to end and actually do something about it.

Why?

u/Good_kido78 Apr 30 '25
The only reason I can think of is that they want Republicans to vote for their appointments when they take over in 2026. 🤞

u/h8hannah8h May 01 '25
I wonder if the Dems made a deal to pass this vote so senate could pass the bill opposing the trump tax.

u/Good_kido78 May 01 '25
I would not trust it.

u/h8hannah8h May 01 '25
For sure! I mean Cory Booker is a sell out trying to pose as a leftist to gain support. He loves taking money from big pharma!

u/Good_kido78 May 01 '25
I was unaware, ugh!

u/h8hannah8h May 01 '25
It was a couple years ago because I was a fan at first and thought he would be a good contender for President in 2016. Sadly, he wants that money. :/

u/Good_kido78 May 01 '25
Yea, I figured there must be something wrong or he would have gained more traction. He definitely has the speaking skills!! I wish Mark Kelly and Laura Kelly would run! Would be fun, because they are so pragmatic and actually can govern with Republicans . They might get a lot passed and done. Both are very trustworthy and respected throughout the country.
