Chuck Schumer Begins 2021 Promising To Fight — Then Immediately Surrenders
Chuck Schumer spent New Year’s morning pretending he and establishment Democrats are fighting Republicans for $2,000 survival checks — right before he went to the Senate floor to surrender on live television. It's January 1 and the mask is already off.

A common refrain from shitlibs after the Dems capitulated the vote to proceed on the veto was that there was still the vote on the veto itself and THAT was where the Dems were going to fight.
They of course didn't, because they're spineless shitheads. Republicans fought harder and they weren't even fighting for the $2k checks.
Pelosi's house too
Now I'm not saying I'm OK with this kind of thing. But I'm not not OK with this kind of thing either...
Only a couple hundred more politicians to go! You know, if you condone that sort of protest. Which I may or may not condone. It's a mystery!
Both of them are going to get their graves vandalized.

I'm all for pretty much anything (that specifically targets the politicians and falls short of murder) that makes politicians afraid of pissing off their constituents.
Shame every politician into doing their jobs. If they don’t listen, force them.
Frankly, I don't think they realize how lucky they are that it's just paint
Sen. Joe Manchin Wants to Block You From Getting a $2,000 Check
Joe Manchin, the Democratic West Virginia senator who is a Republican in all but name, represents a state suffering immense economic hardship under COVID-19. Yet he is threatening to block a new round of $2,000 survival checks that his constituents — and all of us — badly need.

Glad to see the senate is still 51-49 Republican control.
Damn it! I was wrong!!!
Not about The Democrats going back to doing Jack & Shit for everyone because that was obvious to anyone paying attention but I figured they'd keep using the Donald Trump excuse for at least a little longer. I guess instead of having that evil Moscow Mitch block everything, now we're just going to have...er...Moscow Manchin do it. Or maybe Democrats will take turns being the bad guy and making sure that "nothing fundamentally changes" for the next four years (or two if they get pimp slapped in the midterms for doing nothing and Republicans retake the House/Senate).
