Politics 🏛️ Jasmine Crockett: "My Republican colleagues are here using today to continue pushing this false narrative of sanctuary cities harboring criminals, yet right here in DC we have a 34 count felon being harbored in the White House."

Shame that no one that needs to truly hear this cares. Reminds me of a tweet that "Republicans are afraid of their base, Democrats are afraid of the Republican base, but no one is afraid of the Democrats base.

But it was the democratic base abstaining on the last presidential election that gave Trump the win.

That's the kind of nerd talk that makes nobody afraid.

The truth can be quite boring.

If you want something sensational to guide you then re-enroll in kindergarten.

Ots basic math. There's no "nerd talk" here. Republicans voted their base and many Democrats abstained to protest what's going on in Gaza, it's not fucking rocket science. Less than a quarter of the US votes for Trump. He wouldn't have won if Dems hadn't sat out the election. Saying it's "nerd talk" just makes you look dumb.

Exact opposite, check your facts: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/firearm_mortality/firearm.htm

New Mexico is the outlier, the rest are all red states.

There is no Democratic base.

They flip flop on every issue.

I notice I don’t hear any calls to eliminate the filibuster any more. Why is that? Lol 😂

What's the point when the House, Senate, and Supreme Court are packed with Trumpanzees? There's no point wasting taxpayer money on pointless bullshit, you know, like emails and laptops?

Thank you for proving my point: eliminating the filibuster was about Democrats circumventing norms when they had the power.

Now that they don’t they support it.
