    So me and the guys were talking, we were like THIS close to saying “Aight, let’s do it, let’s end fascism”, but you didn’t come through give us the support we needed. So yeah, instead we’re gonna roll back to square one and need you to vote us in repeatedly for a few more decades before we try again mmkay.

    lol, as everyone knows, when asking for money make sure to emphasize that literally, NO ONE else thinks you deserve it either. That’s why they always say to use a completely empty container when busking! theory-gary

    The No Kings Act (S.4973) is a piece of federal legislation introduced by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on August 1, 2024, to counter the Supreme Court’s July 2024 ruling in Trump v. United States which granted former presidents broad immunity for official acts. brump

    The bill did not become law.  It was introduced in the 118th Congress (2023–2025) but died on January 3, 2025, when the Congress ended without a floor vote.  The legislation had passed the Senate Judiciary Committee but faced certain defeat in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.

    Be in minority. Make a bill that sounds like something you should have done when you had power, but you had to protect your corrupt lackey biden-ok-smart-guy Beg/shame for money. Watch it predictably fail. Spend next 2-4 years grifting for cocktail parties over it. Get in power maybe-later-honey “now is not the time” berdly-smug still beg/shame for money on it.
