Nice copout. Congressman trying to do their jobs are blocked from doing so by a fuxking security guard pumped up by Musk's musk. Checks and balances was once something that was celebrated by both parties.

Now you celebrate a black hood being thrown over your face as you're transported to a black site known as ignorance.

Now it's your turn. How is this winning?

They didn't have an appointment. An unruly mob of almost one hundred would be quite disruptive of the Department of Education's vital work.

An appointment?

HAHAHA! JFC, man. You're in a cult.

Checks and balances ONLY IF YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT!!

Damn you're dumb.

Swallow it.

#8 | Posted by rstybeach11 at 2025-02-07 09:17 PM

And now you suggest that protecting the vital work of the Department of Education is a win?

Then how do you square that stance with Trump and Musk closing the entire Department of Education down?

Fact of the matter is, you can't. Hence, you're nothing but a troll.

Convince me otherwise or STFU.

If I believed you were arguing this in good faith - you'd have a point.

But you're not :)

After Jan 6 it's understandable to want to keep angry mobs of the unhinged outside of government offices.

I am familiar with this location. The Department of Education is a very large building. The main entrance is on Maryland Avenue, whereupon visitors must pass through security, sign in and get a visitors pass. The doors in the video are on C Street, on the rear side on the building.

An "All Access" entrance is what used to be called a "Handicapped Entrance" until the word handicapped fell out of favor and the signage was changed. This would be an additional access point for those with special needs, particularly at older or historical buildings where the main entrance can't be retrofitted to comply with ADA. These locations are often unstaffed and locked, with an intercom to request access.

The Members choice to tug on the doors of a handicapped entrance, en masse, rather than go to the main entrance (generally unlocked, but with a lobby and security checkpoint) seems a bit theatrical and detracts from their message.

nothing but a photo op. they have probably never been there before

Too little, too late. Plus, the Department of Education is the least of their problems.

A Republican led Congress no longer has a backbone. Trump has delegated them to mere spectators. Advise and Consent is kaput!

AHAHA....I was just reminded of the clip of Watters....asking the guard for his ID.

a DISGUSTING woman who has no problem ( like most leftist-dogma KLAN freaks ) with innocent women and children raped and murdered because

the illegals are here and don't "need no stinkin Id's to vote...

Sometimes I wonder if Trump is setting Musk up as a convenient scapegoat if and when all Trump's anti-constitutional sheet hit the proverbial fan and all of Trump's emotional immaturity takes center stage ~~ the most prominent of which is always "it's somebody else's fault."

Lewzer is too stupid and brain damaged for anything like that.

#24 | Posted by REDIAL at 2025-02-10 03:15 PM

Not so, REDIAL. It doesn't take brains to be emotionally immature. In fact, Trump often uses the first two lines of defense used by children.

"It's not my fault" and "Other people do it, too" (as in the case of the stolen documents.

Trump is not just emotionally immature. He's emotionally retarded.
