WTH Dems!

“Senate easily confirmed Doug Burgum as secretary of the Interior Dept, a job that positions him to act on ’s energy strategy.

👉🏼79-18👈🏼 vote makes the wealthy former N Dakota governor the official in charge of Trump’s “drill, baby, drill” plans as Interior oversees energy production on public land and in federal waters” politico.com/live-updates/2025

@GottaLaff I don't understand what Democrats stand to gain by helping confirm these cabinet picks.

Like, even if I try to play devil's advocate, I'm still coming up blank.

@Legit_Spaghetti @GottaLaff They're all on the take. There's a SuperPAC for each incumbent waiting to help them be reelected.

@Legit_Spaghetti @GottaLaff@mstdn.socialp
Perhaps they got a payoff from big oil?

@GottaLaff and I get daily emails to donate to the Democrats/dnc. 😑

@GottaLaff WTF. What do they think they're going to gain? Or are they not thinking again?

@GottaLaff
Why are the Democrats in the Senate conspiring to convince me that they really only care about wealthy donors and don't want to address climate change, don't want to stop massive environmental damage, .....?

I don't see how they think they'll keep seats in 2026 if this is how they continue.

@GottaLaff No one is coming. We collectively need to learn to become French in a hurry.

@GottaLaff The whole "at least we aren't the other guys" only works when things are going to shit. So of course, that's the lesson Dem traitors have taken from the last election. Sickening. It really exposes the American form of Democracy. Two parties where one party keeps inching right wing and the other is a terrorist organization is not, in fact, a Democracy.

@GottaLaff
I was the local journalist in tiny Denton, Texas, when the community banned fracking and desperately tried to hold it together as the Texas GOP came for them.

The reason they could is bc Obama was in the WH with his “all of the above” energy strategy. Those companies and their owners got insanely rich and politically extreme in Texas, while everyone else looked away

Chickens comin’ home to roost, y’all

@GottaLaff
WTAF!! Democratic Senators are utterly useless. They are going to make lots more money on their stock trades I guess. 🤬 They should a least message their distaste, even if it won't change the outcome. This is complicity and agreeing in advance.
