Do we not have a "Vote of no Confidence" procedure in our govt? Because right now it would be really handy.

Let me get this straight.
The leading Senate Republican walked into the White House Sunday with a bipartisan deal to end the TSA nightmare. Fund everything except ICE now, get TSA agents paid today, handle ICE separately.
Senate Republicans and Democrats said yes.
Trump said no.
Why? Because Trump is holding TSA workers’ paychecks hostage to try and force Congress to pass the SAVE Act, a voter suppression bill that would knock millions of eligible Americans off the voter rolls. He wants to make it harder for Americans to vote.
Like a petulant child flipping the board when he’s losing, Trump torched a bipartisan deal his own Senate leader handed him on a silver platter. His tantrum continues as he unleashes ICE agents into airports. Agents with zero screening training, zero TSA authority, and a good chance of making everything worse.
Democrats have been ready to fund TSA from day one. What we refuse to do is write a blank check for an ICE agency that gunned down two American citizens in Minneapolis and still demands the ability to kick down doors without a judge’s approval while hiding behind masks.
We will not pass the SAVE Act either. Call it what it is: the SAVE REPUBLICANS Act. Non-citizen voting is already illegal. It was illegal yesterday. It will be illegal tomorrow. This bill solves nothing except the Republican party’s losing electoral math.
Fund TSA. Reform ICE. End this today.
Trump is the one standing in the way.
If you wonder why the birthrate is down, here's a good example. When the govt decides to cut women's/men's affordable reproductive care, that's why.

Today I'm glad I have 2 sons so that I don't have to explain or have my daughters consider that a felon, sexually abusive, cheating, inexperienced man was considered more competent as the U.S. president, instead of a decades-experienced, public servant, intelligent woman. Again.
In Utah and they are executing the first criminal since 2010. The media is making such an ordeal about it, which I find REALLY odd. I think some of the news channels are even broadcasting coverage during the actual procedure. Is this normal?
The Democrats have a lot of work. They must remind the US how terrible the last Trump presidency was, and the activities on 1/6. Also, Dems are not running against Republicans, but against Trump. No Former Republican VPs or Presidents visible at the RNC, nor cabinet members.

Chess Grandmaster Anna Muzychuk refuses to play in Saudi Arabia and says: "In a few days, I will lose two world titles, back to back." Because I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia. I refuse to play by special rules, to wear abaya, to be accompanied by a man so I can leave the hotel, so I don't feel like a second class person.
"I will follow my principles and not compete in the World Fast Chess and Blitz Championship where in just 5 days I could have won more money than dozens of other tournaments combined." This is all very nasty but the sad part is no one seems to care. Bitter feelings but can't go back. "

If you’re thinking of throwing your vote away this year to “punish the Dems”, you already tried that in 2016 and this is where we are
There are two people who have a chance to be the next president
If Biden loses he will go to his beach house in Delaware with his wife and grandkids and live out his golden years.
You’re not punishing him; you’re punishing yourself. Biden will have passed away while you’re still having your rights stripped away one by one by extreme right christofascist loons
Gaza will be leveled. Trump is on tv THIS WEEK saying he supports Israel “finishing the job”
Taiwan will be taken by China
Ukraine taken by Russia
NATO weakened considerably
Muslim Americans rounded up and deported
Hispanic Americans rounded up and deported
Zero chance at universal healthcare
But please carry on with your “protest” as you shoot yourself in the foot to “punish” an 81 year old man who doesn’t need this shit, but is doing it to protect you from Trump, and apparently yourselves

A woman, unable to get an abortion due to deadly anti-abortion laws had to carry to term a baby that was found to have no kidneys at 24 weeks.
I’ll say that part again, no kidneys and was forced to carry the baby for an additional 13 weeks until she gave birth.
Deborah Dorbert’s son Milo died in her arms shortly after birth just like the doctors said would happen.
Forced to carry, knowing there was no chance of survival. Then watching a baby gasp for air and die.
What part of that scenario is pro-life? The walking around for 13 weeks knowing your baby is going to die? Oh wait, is it the part where the baby took one breath and died?
“Death on delivery.”
That’s not governing it’s torture. #FreshResists #FreshVotesBlue

We need to be crystal clear about something. Anything is fair game right now. The bill for regret is not pretty. Get your asses to the shows. We are in uncharted territory.

Kicking off #Sundance with a bang! Words fail when it comes to expressing how moved I was by Glorimar Marrero Sánchez’s LA PECERA. A meditative character study with a commanding performance from Isel Rodríguez. Puerto Rico has never looked so heartbreakingly beautiful.
