Most search engines (duckduckgo) allow you to set a custom date range for your search. Repeat the same search ("Senator blocks nominees") year by year, and you keep getting different names for the same pointless stunt.
We are in desperate need of a Guillotine Party to (politically) sever the oligarch heads from the Democratic body.
This is a common, boring, toothless tactic routinely used by whichever party is currently in the minority in the Senate. Tommy Tuberville did it in 2023. JD Vance did it in 2023. Tom Cotton did it in 2022. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz did it in 2021. Tammy Duckworth and Chuck Grassley did it in 2020. Chuck Schumer did it in 2019. Tim Scott did it in 2018. And on and on and on...
Blumenthal was Attorney General of Connecticut from 1991 to 2011, when he was elected to the Senate. His net worth is about $100 million. He can afford to take real, actual action against Trump, but he's not. Instead, we get a press release that he's taking his turn to drag his feet a little while Trump drives us off a cliff.
He's part of the Problem Class.
Online shopping is a fucking waste and every day we have dozens of shipping companies coming to the city with their vans to drive through each street bringing small packages to every apartment. Polluting, blocking streets, increasing traffic. Just because we are too lazy to go to a shop and buy it in person.
So It's morally superior for me to be the one driving to the shop, polluting, blocking streets, increasing traffic, taking up a parking spaces?
There's 20 families on my block. If the 20 of us got together and agreed that only one of us should drive to the store every day, picking up everything that we collectively needed and distributing it to us, you'd be praising us for reducing our impact.
No state. Only guillotine.
