What Katie Porter rightly had to say about the debacle on the birdsite:

"The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank was totally avoidable. In 2018, Wall Street pushed a deregulation bill that allowed banks like SVB to take reckless risks. It passed, even as I and many others warned of the risks. I am writing legislation to reverse that law."

Between 2015 & 2018 (passage of "GOP's" rollback legislation) SVB spent more than $500,000 to lobby/ bribe/ coerce Members of Congress to implement the deregulation that let SVB fuck up its own business.

@augieray Voting for today's "Republicans" in fact means bailing out organized fraudsters bankrupting American democracy.

@tc_morekindness @GottaLaff Printed & televised bullshit*t sells.

Perfectly describes today's "GOP's" only existing platform.

No matter if it's Democrats, who save lives from deadly viruses, create unprecedented numbers of jobs for Americans, successfully fight inflation caused by the lunatic in the Kremlin, feed millions of Americans suffering due to inflated grocery prices, efficiently meet the brutal challenges of climate change by boosting renewable energies & means of transportation etc etc etc...

All while today's "Republican" kids defiantly stick to saying "No, uncle Joe!" without ever bringing forward any proposal that would in any way serve, help, care for or benefit the American people as a united nation of human beings.

than those lying, fake, deceiving & corrupt "Republican" outrage actors.

America deserves honest & serving . Because !

@atrupar For Murdoch's & his accomplices' money Tucker willingly exposes his a** for Fox "News" viewers ready to take the chance.

When alleged 'journalism" rather turns out to be malign prostitution.

@ZhiZhu Goofing off & looting in (undeserved) presidential office, did Donald J. Trump ever abide by the most basic provision of the Constitution to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,..."?
Has he even ever been capable of doing so? (Rhetorical question)

@Piousunyn What's the title of DeSantis's book?

"Mein Kampf 2"?

Did he already buy them all, using campaign donations?

@sonyasteele 158 years after the defeat of the racist slaveholder Confederacy & subsequent "Reconstruction Amendments" its a damning & shameful testimony of ignorance & susceptibility to outdated racist schemes, that the acceptability of higher public officials still seems to depend on their color of skin or even one drop of "non-white" blood.

The fact, that the genocidal Nazis learned from American racists, how to craft their antisemitic Nuremberg laws should be warning enough, that there's still a lot of homework to do.

FFS, America deserves more than just one drop of sanity.

@strong_sue @SteveRogers @AgentCarter_SSR @TonyStark Another sad fact, proving that intentional "Republican" mis- & disinformation killed "GOP's" own voter, solely for power gains.
For this horrible indifference to human life alone, "Republican" officials should be forever barred from ever holding public offices again.

@SteveRogers @AgentCarter_SSR @TonyStark Is it any wonder, that fundamentally antisocial elements like today's "Republicans" would corruptly aim at destroying social programs?
I'm clearly unsurprised.
It's worth remembering, how enthusiastically "Republicans" advocated achieving "natural herd immunity", when the much deadlier Coronavirus variants were raging & killing all over the nation & the world, obviously approving the deaths of hundreds of thousands Americans as "acceptable".
That were times again proving the "GOP's" shocking indifference to human life, not only of their own voters, but all Americans.
Following the bad example of their then-leading sociopath-in-chief in Oval Office, Donald Trump.

@TonyStark It's definitely beyond comprehension, what makes people kick their own a**es by voting for a corrupt, obstructive apolitical & anti-political entity like today's "GOP", that's got absolutely nothing helpful pointing the way ahead to meet important present & future challenges.
The nation doesn't need an evil lobbying sitcom team in Congress.

Yes, a "party", allowed to run for public offices in the United States of America, that kneels before Putin, the originator of a number of wars of aggression, while condemning Americans for taking a knee in protest against racist deadly police brutality against Americans of color, is not an American party, but an anti-American, racist, anti-constitutional, anti-human, anti-Christian entity, which forfeited any right to hold any public office.

@MJ @GreenFire Today's "GOP" is as much a serious political party as Fox "news" is a serious news outlet.
Both are nothing but (bad) entertainment entities, at best absolutely useless for American voters, their democracy, their & ignorant of the Constitution β€” except the 2nd Amendment.
Unfit to be allowed to run for any public office.

@TheBatman @TonyStark Today's "Republicans" are as "pro-life" as they're a "Grand Ole Party", "fiscally responsible" & "the party of law & order".

There's a reason they're no longer willing to masquerade as Lincoln's party, tearing the mask of "Republicanism" off:
Real Republicans could have won in free & fair elections β€” today's mockery of a "GOP" can't, because they're politically & morally 200% bankrupt, crawling from one bundle of corrupting the courts, voter suppression, gerrymandering, disenfranchisement & more electoral fraud practices to the next.

@mmasnick In fact it should actually be the job of a (these days absent) House Oversight Committee of integrity to investigate the birdsite's role tolerating Trump's bullying, defamatory misbehavior, name-calling, incitement of violence & of the Jan 6 insurrection, abusing the platform for years against almost all of twitter's rules & Terms of Service.

@QasimRashid The only way to protect our kids & everyone else seems to be banning the "GOP", the party of corruption & death, that apparently burned everything its founder Abraham Lincoln ever wrote.
Alternatively, they're just confederate racist zombies, who infiltrated & undermined Lincoln's Republican party to covertly evade the judgment of progressing time & mankind.
