Look, if punching any progress on its face, fixating on genitalia, pissing on your own constituents, punishing the disenfranchised for being disenfranchised, and alternately praising and then eating your collaborators doesn't demonstrate ones ability to "govern," then I don't know what does. You talking to me that way sounds an awful lot like an insurrection.
The problem with this comment is some people could say this word for word with zero irony lol
I’d just like to say your username is fantastic and i wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

That was never their goal. Their only goal was to destroy democracy, and they’re doing a pretty good job of that.
People keep saying this, but after democracy is destroyed, you still have to govern the shitty theocracy you make. My point is, they won't be able to govern that either.
people keep saying this, as if everyone inside any given democracy is and thinks and acts the same.
tell me this: if you can predict the future, why aren’t you a lottery-winning billionaire?
Yeah, we’re totally aware.
We just need to convince the 30% of American voters who have been hoodwinked by their highly effective media machine. That’s not been going well.
They're unfit to have any responsibility at all.
Jake Sherman: “The House is essentially frozen again. The GOP leadership cannot bring up any bills that are not already noticed on the suspension calendar and conservatives just killed leadership’s ability to bring up any bills under a rule.“
The Clownshow is back.
It never left honk honk
Watching the party call MAGA Mike Johnson – the guy who they hand chose because he was as MAGA as they come – call him a RINO because he couldn’t unite their basket of rabid weasels is just
Now he can get back to his first love, beating off to Internet porn that his kid is also watching.
That teenage boy definitely has a way around that stupid software. He's probably watching videos of mature, hairy ladies peeing and beating off right now. And he will be accountable to noone!
I forgot about that stupid software and his pact with his teenage son. Not only is that pact inappropriate, I can't see how a teenager wouldn't have a way around any technology restrictions a parent places on them, whether it's porn, social media, etc.
They want a government shut down because they think it will damage Biden. They want chaos because it lets them spread conspiracies and lies. This guy doing the bare minimum to actually do his job is a betrayal to them.
The hydra feeds upon its many heads, hurting itself in the confusion but somehow does not die
Can the Republicans just have their party schism already? The MAGA crowd took over the RNC leadership years ago, just admit it and make a new party - or better yet clean house and oust them from your ranks.
Because anyone thinking of leaving the RNC understands how the game is rigged for them and the DNC, and any new party has pretty much no chance. And they also know that if they kicked the crazies out (if they even could), the only thing left of the party would be a husk. The crazy base is their power source right now.
Agreed that the entrenched duopoly is no accident, but we also don’t have a Federalist party anymore either. The popular support eroded beneath them due to poor policy choices/outcomes, and that faction was politically homeless for years, and decades before they formed a new and coherent party structure with longevity. Which itself was enabled by the patronage and spoils that soured voters on the Jeffersonian-Democrats.
Adapt or die, it’s no different in biology or politics
To be clear, I'm not saying it can't happen (and it seems like it will eventually), but nobody in either half is surviving that split, and they know it. They're stuck with each other as they careen off this cliff.
I desperately want them to abruptly reach that cliff this november, but I'm far too nervous about this whole election to hope.
I suspect that this is still the future, but it's hard to know when it will actually happen. They've gone extreme enough that a lot of people are looking for the next conservative party.
The Libertarian Party has about 700,000 members and is on the ballot in all 50 states. I've been imagining a hostile takeover for some time.
That would be hilarious. If there's one thing most Americans seem to be able to agree on, it's that libertarians aren't worth voting for.
I've always thought a Libertarian is just a Republican trying to sleep with a Democrat - or vice versa.
A Republican that smokes weed.
Most Americans have voted for a democrat since 2004. So that's probably true.
Even Republicans won't vote for Libertarians.
Right wing groups have subsidized and aided the Libertarians and Green Party for years. They know that GOP voters will stick with the Party, and that Left folks can be persuaded to try something new.
They're already clearly a coalition party as evidenced by the speaker elections and budget votes.
Nah a coalition is people voluntarily working together on purpose. The present day Republican Party is a hostage scenario - the moderates might want out, but don’t dare leave the fundraising & media machine behind if they do escape
Man I hope they vacate him, too. Only need a few more Republican resignations and the Democrats can take over this year...
To me he always looks like one of those old, colorized photos, or maybe a ventriloquist dummy. Maybe it’s the rosy cheeks, I dunno.
Holy shit, I completely see the ventriloquist dummy resemblance, that is haunting
He does have pretty flawless porcelain skin. 🤔
Might be the hair, older style.
The kind that grew up on mayo on white bread sandwiches.
The anonymous social media MAGA account @catturd2, which has more than 2 million followers, criticized funding for Ukraine included in the deal.
"Blah Blah Blah Blah—you just gave 62 Billion to Ukraine. You don't give AF about our border," they wrote.
These people are the most miserable excuses for humans imaginable. Seriously, why are they so batshit insane? Is it just right-wing media, or are we looking at some kind of nanoplastic syndrome that affects the red states disproportionately?
It's specifically BECAUSE they are miserable but unwilling to look at themselves or their own lives. Rather, they project outward and search for the "real" cause of their problems, who they then hope to persecute.
This is the same for all extreme groups: incels, sov cits, tankies, PETA, and, yes, GOP/Evangelical types.

Cat. Turd. 2.
We are truly living in the dumbest timeline.
With over 2 million followers.
Wait, DID we give 62 billion to Ukraine in the deal? That would be enough to last until the election, right?
no we gave them a shit ton of overvalued surplus used, old, military junk.
We have very little idea how plastic is affecting the human body. But I wouldn't be surprised if like lead or some brain tumors it increases aggression, causes anti social behavior, and falls into a paranoid fear spiral.
But then again, gen z would be some of those most affected by it and we're seeing a lot more progressive attitudes in gen Z and millenials than older generations.
AF
that was a weird place to put that, I noticed.
I think it's mental logic patterns that were shoved down their throats until that's all they know how to think.
Perfect headline, no need to change.
he shares it with his son
Wow, how unexpected. Never saw this coming...
"Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"
No. Not at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"What are these leopards doing to our faces???"
- Diseased morons Conservatives
Broken democratic mechanisms and a split conservative party? Surely this doesn't proceed a fascist dictatorship...right?....RIGHT?!
Let. Them. Fight.
This is what MAGA wants as leadership? Laughable and pathetic.
It’s bush-league, psych out stuff!
Yasser, let the darkness consume y'all
Fuck em.
MAGA, like pirates, have no loyalty at all!
Representative Victoria Spartz, an Indiana Republican, told Newsweek on Tuesday night that "people here and there" have been seriously considering ousting the speaker.
While I would find it funny to see him kicked to the curb, there's no semblance of an ability to govern anymore. We're fucked.
These people are unfit to govern.
Good thing that isn't their goal then.
