Just shut the f*ck up already. Nothing you say is the truth - it’s so unproductive & unworkable. Donald Trump brought stability to the world? Your entire education was a waste.
When Donald Trump was in the White House, his Administration brokered historic Middle Eastern peace deals and brought stability to the world. The Biden Administration has brought nothing but chaos and destruction because of their weakness and incompetence.

You stopped New York from codifying Roe for 10 years.
The time to do it is now. We have a Democratic President a Democratic Congress & Democratic Senate.If not now, when?. Too many people have died for politicians to say,“well we tried”. We don’t elect people to try. We elect people to do. Stop making excuses&start making progress.

If you are a Democrat anywhere in America who is frustrated that we’ll lose the House by so few seats:. NY House losses were the reason & the man who theoretically could have averted this is named Jay Jacobs. And now we’re going to have him replaced, for proper accountability.

It feels like the entire country is being bullied by a minority of racist sociopaths and so many people in power (government mainly) are too afraid to lose, so they don’t do what is obviously right and popular. What do you do to the bully in the school yard? It’s no different.

Calling a Rep a “fucking b*tch” demonstrates how unwell & unfit some men are in dealing w/women in power. In Albany men have similarly called us “b*tches”, & c*nts”, as well as threatened to “rip out our throats”. We’re here to do the work, whether you want to hate us or not.
I never spoke to Rep. Yoho before he decided to accost me on the steps of the nation’s Capitol yesterday. Believe it or not, I usually get along fine w/ my GOP colleagues. We know how to check our legislative sparring at the committee door. But hey, “b*tches” get stuff done. 🤷🏽♀️.
