US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Democrat, New York) isn’t fazed by Congress’ failure to move forward with the impeachment of Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.
From her perspective, Democrats have almost too many people to investigate once they gain control of Congress in January.
“There are so many criminals in this administration, it’s hard to figure out who should be, you know, the order of operations,” Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview with CNN’s Manu Raju on Tuesday.
“There are going to be many, many, many investigations,” she added. “I imagine many subpoenas, and we have to follow wherever the evidence takes us.”
Tier 1:
Tier 2:
Tier 3:
This is by no means an exhaustive list, but they need to get results on Tier 1 ASAP in order to maintain progressive and MAGA turncoat votes.
The EC will quite likely be effectively ended by states before Congress gets to it. The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact will make the EC follow the popular vote, not the stupid state-based voting currently being done.
People need their food stamps back too, the ones Trump kicked off. Disabled people kicked off other aid too.
Not putting SC reform in tier 1 is an immediate L
SC reform can’t happen until 2029, so no it doesn’t belong in tier 1 on pragmatic grounds alone
If there is a 2029 lmao
… Sorry, off topic, but why is your icon the buc-ees mascot? Those guys chug maga cock like their life depends on it.
Irony. Think punks and John Lennon rocking Mickey Mouse tees. Buc-ee’s is the height of MAGA brain rot culture. A gas station treated as some sort of cultural identity.
That said, they are great rest stops…
My husband brought me bucees sweat pants from his business trip to Austin, we both had a laugh. Then we read up on the owners 😳.
You can expect every lemmy.ml user to be like this
You know I hate tankies as much as anyone else, but I’ll honestly say JoMiran is one of the few .ml users who doesn’t seem to be one.
As in, they’re actually capable of rational thought/discussion and has some decent takes from time to time, which a tankie would be utterly incapable of
Without fail, pretty much every single “person” from that instance has been pro-Russia in unbelievable ways. I frankly don’t care to try and take note of any exceptions who are prone to spewing their bullshit at one point or another anymore, especially ones who think that “punks” were actually doing anything clever by wearing swastikas lol.
I view them like Sid Vicious and the rest of the sex pistols: they always end up showing their true colors a decade or two later when it turns out they’re actually just really into fascist aesthetics
Wait what, when did anyone mention swastikas? I must have missed that part of the conversation. What I saw is that they said punks wore mickey mouse shirts. Which is a completely different thing.
I’m not here to defend .ml as an instance, I think it’s garbage and most of its users are disingenuous trolls and accelerationist edge lords who would rather see the world burn with no plan to rebuild after rather than contribute in any meaningful or reasonable way to any sort of productive discussion whatsoever.
That being said, I’ve seen JoMiran around on different threads and they don’t act like the usual .ml user. There’s a couple others too, but they’re very much the exception rather than the rule over there. That’s all I’m saying.
And I never listened to the sex pistols, but there are plenty of punk bands who hate nazis, and honestly the punk ethos is diametrically opposed to fascism, so that weird subgenre of nazi punk is not only an oxymoron, but they’re also just a bunch of posers appropriating the aesthetic and not really punks. They would get chased out of any regular punk venue. Call it gatekeeping if you want but nazis are not punk, even when they try to call themselves that.
Are they big fans of gas stations over there?
They’re tankies. So they’re big fans of obvious fascism and authoritarian ideas claiming it’s basically anything else.
Meanwhile the US is evil incarnatez and absolutely everything they do is bad, without exception. Russia and China do no wrong. Even when they do the exact same things.
They’re not big fans or critical thinking over there, and aggressively ban anyone not participating in the group think.
You just replied to me to explain, in answer to my question “Why does dou9m think that I can expect every ml user to be a fan of a gas station brand?” is that its because they are authoritarians? Like I was making a joke obviously, but your response doesn’t actually make any sense.
Don’t worry, we all know what tankies are, and we all think they are very silly and unimportant people. It’s hard to spend any time on lemmy without knowing about them. I find the people who follow them around screaming about it to be just as annoying as they are.
So for future reference: We get it, my dude.
I guarantee you a gigantic chunk of people on this site, and even more importantly, all of the people who will end up migrating to Lemmy over the following year, are going to have no idea how to even slightly define what a tankie is.
Give me a call when they hold any political power whatsoever <3
The world’s most virulent one is literally POTUS lol
