They can't do anything without a majority?
A spending bill passed last month that did not have enough Republicans to pass it ... Dems voted on it and helped pass it. This should not be happening.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I wish we had a real opposition party instead of whatever this generational disconnect and enrichment cult is.

Taco Bell needs to jump on this.
Especially with his birthday approaching.
$1 Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos.
Make it happen, Taco Bell.
Nah, new limited edition Chicken Doritos Locos Supreme Ruler edition that gets topped with a generous layer of ketchup. Also available in child size for those with tiny hands.
Their parent company might not want the attention of the orange toddler.
They also give out free votes to the Republican party in Congress.
Can we finally get taco trucks on every corner? I’m still waiting for that catastrophe the republicans said would happen.
Another broken campaign promise.
It'd be really funny if they made this a regular thing to own the president haha and like they should do it everywhere across the country just to really hammer it in maybe they can buy specific free taco lots where they sell tacos and then put taco themed buildings up where you can stay overnight to support not liking the other guy gosh that would be hilarious
Haha, yeah and name hospitals taco so people can use them for free. Would be hilarious.

Genuinely an escalation on the part of dem resistance; i say we shouldn't be too hard on them moving in the right direction.
It's really not.
It's performative, bandwagonning bs from these guys.
Like staging a sit in on the weekend and then voting for Republicans with Republicans the next day, it's hollow words.
I think 'hiring a taco truck' is more concrete action to oppose fascism than we've seen from the democratic party so far, possibly year to date combined.
I stand by my statement.
Sure, nothing wrong with standing behind your convictions.
Guess well see in two weeks of "hiring a taco truck", which to me falls into the literal least you can do, pans out with concrete action to oppose fascism or my bet is that they will roll over like they always do.
I dont think you're gonna gwt concrete.
Best we can do is a side of tortilla chips.
