What a shock. This never happens to Republicans literally all the time.

the odds that someday Grayson Allen runs for office as a republican has to be like 1.5 to 1

Vegas has taken it off the board as it's too easy a bet.

Maybe Giannis will turn him into a Democrat by the time he's done with him.

I'm normally not all about name calling in politics. I think it's politics in its most childish form, but I can't help but love the fact that Matt Gaetz's new nickname is "Rapey McForehead".

Scolds? I'd say schools in an extremely dignified manner under the circumstances.

"American taxpayers who have faced commercial airline delays 'should be furious,' government watchdog director tells Fox News Digital"

Good response

I'm not going to debate you, so it was the only response I had.

The headline should read "Gay Man Is Scary To Insecure Boomers, Takes Flight" so that it's more accurate to the target audience.

kevin mccarthy is attempting to negotiate with 20 insurrectionists, on the anniversary of said insurrection, in the very building where the insurrection took place.

this is today's GOP.

I wish I were more shocked at the homophobia in the comments section. It’s like half the comments.

Baier is like "oh fuck he has a great answer and is making me look stupid, better change the subject"

I look forward to the day Pete is elected President. I hope it is either 2024 if Uncle Joe decides not to run or 2028.

Don’t you think it’s time to move past the whole “I refuse to acknowledge you but I’m instead going to make it clear I’m above you” thing? If you don’t want to respond to it, don’t. Don’t be a dick about it.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I remember Pete shutting down Fox when he was running for President, I read that he still appears on Fox. He is the perfect foil for them, he uses his intelligence reason and logic in such a calm way.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Rep Brian Fitzpatrick from PA was reportedly the only member of the GOP to show up this morning for the Jan 6th remembrance ceremony.

They gave him a cabinet position to prep him for future work. I am all for another young, boring, intelligent technocrat but he probably needs more seasoning.

look - my non-response response was to acknowledge that i actually read your post without giving a response. not because i think i'm above you, or that i'm trying to be a dick. i'm sorry that you took it that way. i was actually aiming for the opposite. there's no "like" button or other way to show people that their posts have been read.

and to just add again - i'm not responding to any further responses to this. not because i think i'm above anyone. i'm just over the whole thing. 90% of my posts these days are tweets and bono fat puns. i love this place but god damn it i can't sit around arguing with people on the interwebs anymore.

Friend, I’m not trying to argue with you *at all*. On the contrary, I’m providing my two cents and not really expecting you to respond. Anyone is free to respond if they want. I’m sorry if I took it the wrong way and you didn’t intend it to be malicious, but I will say, if you Google “writing ‘k’ as a response” you will see a consensus agrees that that’s an aloof and dismissive response.

Has been the goal the entire time. Even if something passes last min, the markers and economy will destabilize throughout the process

There will be pain no matter what.

Probably is time for another civil war. Elected leadership are either out for themselves or hamstrung by the first group, and there’s nothing United about this collection of states any more.

Could the country just be split horizontally through the middle and y’all call it a day?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Can I at least move to the suburbs before the war starts?

The Dakotas, Wyoming, Nebraska and Montana in exchange for Georgia and colonies in Austin and Nashville?

Yeah because Georgia is a beacon of progressivism or something lol bad trade.

Progress is slow and there’s plenty working against it, but it’s there.

Compare Georgia’s lean to any of the 5 states I mentioned.

Clam down.

It’s entirely normal and in fact healthy for a democracy to threaten to wreck the global economy every time a certain party comes into power.

Didn’t you guys see Hamilton? Geez.
