Breaking news: Nazi expresses support for fellow Nazis. More at 11.

Just so everyone knows because the article headline makes it seem like it's a large amount of the GOP House Caucus, the 2 people who put forward this idea initially were GOP Senators and then MTG jumped on board of course. But Senators have no say in who becomes speaker of the house so this all seems rather pointless unless a large amount of GOP House members come out in favor of the idea.

Do the movies count? Cause I'm pretty sure it's Wild Green Yonder.

And many of them voted for the guy who said he had "concepts of a plan" to maybe fix it, if it can be done better. So them being unhappy about it doesn't mean much when we are about to get a government that is actively hostile to improving any kind of health care for anyone ever.

I wish this wasn't being framed with "Big loss for corporations" and instead was being framed as "Big win for consumers."

One guy said this “VP Harris failed to demonstrate she was ethically or intellectually capable of executing the office, repeatedly failing to detail out her policies..." It's infuriating that people continue to believe Harris never detailed her policies despite the fact that all she talked about was policy. All they had to do was pay attention to her and she would talk about her policies, it seems like they just didn't want to even pay attention to her. Or that because she didn't detail alllll of her policies then that wasn't enough. Add on that this person calls her intellectually incapable of talking about her policies, basically calling her stupid and it's just exhausting.

This whole article continues to make me believe in the fundamental problem with Democrat voters which so many people have shown. The democrats have to run the perfect candidate with the perfect policies or the charisma of Obama who promise the world, while the Republicans can run a guy who says immigrants are eating cats and dogs and because the Democratic candidate wasn't perfect, the Republicans win.

And then when the Democrats do promise signficant change and it doesn't immediately happen, Democrat voters punish them for it, they lose the midterms, and any change that was in the process of happening gets stopped dead. But when Republicans promise the world and don't deliver, Republican voters reward them for simply promising it.

"Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line."

Ya know what's great about this article? It opens saying that Mace says she was assaulted and that all the witnesses say that it was a handshake. Then says "Whatever the truth...". By using that phrasing, HuffPo is literally caving to Mace's threat of a defamation lawsuit. They're essentially saying "sure all the witnesses say this was a handshake, but we can't possibly know the truth" all because they believe her that she will sue the places that report it as the handshake that it was. The decision for this phrasing was likely made by an editor, but it still sucks that they're acting like we can't possibly know the truth.

Can't access the article because I don't want to make an account, but playing by the rules hasn't gotten the Democrats anywhere. If one party doesn't play by the rules, they will almost always win. The only way to fix things and take any amount of power back is to play dirty. And fuck off to people (possibly like the author of this article but not sure since I can't read the article) who say that that isn't the right way to do things.

If democrats had gerrymandered their states just like Republicans, things would have been more fair when it comes to distribution of power. But because Democrats decided to make gerrymandering illegal on the state level for their states, the Republicans benefit because of the better drawn districts in those Democrat states. The only way we should have made gerrymandering illegal was on a federal level, doing it on a state level just fucks over Democrats since republican states will either never pass the ballot initiatives or will have the Republican government ignore it when it is passed.

Fuck playing by the rules.

Missouri voters: Let's vote to enshrine abortion rights into law and also elect the people who want to make abortion illegal. That totally won't have any impact on if our ballot measure gets respected.

He wants to eliminate the federal use of "west bank" and instead use the biblical terms Judea and Sumaria.

But don't worry, republicans will be good for the Palestinians because they're anti-war.

Ah yes the old "government so small they can drown it in a bathtub" plan. They want all this cut. But also want to police abortion and trans people. Small but only in the areas they want.

A cane, bent glasses, and a SSD filled with movies.
