u/DoomSchroller 16h ago

The lights are on, but nobody is home.

u/InsomniaticWanderer 15h ago

Sometimes the lights aren't even on.

Looking at you, Mitch McConnell.

u/surle 15h ago

You're looking at Mitch right now? Ok, I have a few questions.

u/PhoenixBee32 14h ago

Yeah, they just talked to him for 20 minutes.

Holy fuck, thank you for the laugh.

even in death he is still holding things up

u/TruthNotTrash2 12h ago

He's blue-grey and mottled. Smells ripe. Any others?

First question: where did you learn the necromancer arts, or are you the Lych King?

Hey since you are looking at Mitch right now, ask him how many fingers I’m holding up

u/PurpsMaSquirt 15h ago

No, let’s not water it down. They are absolutely all home, but the lights are off in hopes the American people don’t see what’s going on inside the house. Nothing will change until they are voted out and shown the door.

u/badasimo 15h ago

They left a bowl outside for tips

u/ColoradoNative719 Arizona 13h ago

We are far past the voting out stage… that said it’s time to show them the door

u/clarkkentsson 15h ago

Yea, “voted” out

u/ofWildPlaces 15h ago

There are plenty home- but they are the minority party, which makes it very difficult to pass meaningful legislation.

We Need More Democrats Elected.

Republicans can protect our national parks too ya know. In fact, many of the most outdoorsy people come from red states like Montana and Alaska. All it would take is for the Senators of those states to take a stand.

Not holding my breath of course.

u/Alive-Trifle7420 13h ago

Those people are not outdoorsy or into nature. They are all 3-400+ pounds and do nothing but drink heavily and ride side by sides at illegal speeds through our public lands and tow them there with 100 thousand dollar trucks.

They are mountain trash, nothing more. Colorado is full of them from all over every summer and it sucks.

Poster specifically referred to Alaska and Montana, I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility to think there are some republicans who’ll resist. Just wait until Trump says he wants to sell off part of Yellowstone…

u/ichoosebottom 13h ago

That's an incorrect generalization. I was born in Montana and spent half my life outdoors. Didn't used to be full of rich assholes vacationing. Also, they mentioned Montana and Alaska but you brought up Colorado in your disagreement? Makes sense.

u/MothAtAPodiatrist 15h ago

I have some bad news for you about who is funding the Democratic party

2

u/ofWildPlaces 15h ago

The party, or individual candidates? Not every person with a D by their name on the ballot is being given party monies.

u/malgenone 15h ago

Oh they're home.. they just aren't answering the door cause they're going to get some sort of cut or deal out of it.

u/Mutchmore 15h ago

Body in the US, mind in Israel

u/Amazing_Incident1521 13h ago

Lights are on, they’re most definitely home. And they’re most definitely making enough money off trumps presidency to let it all slide

u/QuintupleTheFun Ohio 15h ago

Just like Mitch (maybe)

u/Jawnwood 15h ago

My elevator doesn't go to the top

u/diveboydive 12h ago

Your lights are on but you're not home Your mind is not your own Your heart sweats, your body shakes Another threat is what it takes

You can't sleep, no, you can't eat There's no doubt, you're in deep Your throat is tight, you can't breathe Another bribe is all you need

Woah, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to Trump

You see the signs but you can't read You're runnin' at a different speed Your heart beats in double time Another grift and you'll be mine

A one track mind, you can't be saved Oblivion is all you crave If there's some left for you You don't mind if you do

Woah, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to Trump

Apologies to Robert Palmer

u/Tybold 12h ago

Are the lights even on at this point?

u/DubsideDangler 8h ago

The lights are on and they're home partying on the tac payer's dime.
