Chairforce One really showing up to critique texas state dems. These aren't US senators. This is the minor party in state house where as far as I know they haven't held majority in decades.

The stunt worked about as well as it could. they got media coverage and Newsom displayed a counterplan.

I for sure ain't paying their fees. I doubt some billionaire did either.

Chairforce One

Lolol. That's a new one for me. Yoink!

Maybe if you stopped sucking Dem dick so hard we could actually get something done besides a one week delay. Thanks for all your help, it's done so much. Cus you've been out there fighting and raising awareness, not just jerking yourself off in an echo chamber online, right?

I'm not claiming I did anything, which is the correct response when you've done nothing. Not acting like I'm fucking V for Vendetta when I caved at the first sign of resistance.

Find me in 5 years so I can laugh harder at you. We'll see where the Dems are then.

Thank you major general of the chair force for your salient movie to reality comparison. I'll report back in 5 years so you can jack yourself off about how right you were, that's whats important here.
