I think Evan is more obsessed with Mike's Johnson being masturbated than Mike is.

personally i think it is 4000% improper to have third-party software company run by rando nutjob evangelicals having full access to the computers and phones of the Speaker of the House. 🤷‍♂️

insane it isn't being talked about MORE honestly. seems like a massive security breach that makes the butter emails server that conservatives still hand-wring about pale in comparison.

🎯Yes, it has probably been hacked by Russia long ago, (for kompromat puposes) because the covenant porn-peener software idiots don't understand actual security measures.

MTG is one of those 'tick and flick' workers - as long as she can say she ticked it off, she counts it as a win, no matter that the thing she ticked is stupidly pathetic and highlights her complete ignorance

Evan, that's it. You're on a timeout until I read your next article, for making me laugh too much and making my sides hurt from said laughing!

"Mike Johnson counted on his fingersies and his toesies and his Covenant Privates until he got to 214 and they impeached the motherfucker Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas"

I already blew my coffee on the first line! LOL. Let me read the rest.

This morning, MSNBC ran a column by By Susan Del Percio, "Republican strategist".

She writes "Democrat Tom Suozzi ultimately pulled out the victory on Tuesday night,.."

"Pulled Out" What is this? Teenagers in a car on a hot July night?

It was a fucking 7 point ROUT! 53.9% to 46.1%!! There was noting "close" about it. So she is going to call this a "teachable moment" for the Democratic Party?? What we continue to learn is that not just blue, but swing states and districts recognize the abject failure of leadership put forward by the Republican Party.

We still have to vote as if our lives depend on it, but come on. Suozzi smoked Pilip.

But I guess MSNBC had to run this to be "fair and balanced".

SMH!

She means "pulled off" but they are idiots who don't do english very well.

Why the fuck do they think anybody is interested in what a Republican strategist has to say about their shellacking in NY last night? Why not ask a DEMOCRATIC strategist, MSNBC?

they are probably in too much disarray!

The NYT's points out that recent history has cheapened the impeachment process. However, they fail to point out that impeaching a known criminal, rapist for obvious high crimes and misdemeanors was a perfectly acceptable use of the procedure. It's like we're supposed to figure it out for ourselves that it is the GOP who is cheapening it and not a general us. Because both sides must be adhered to at all times. The NYT's pretending that they don't know this is a lie wrapped in a cloak of journalism.

Don't ever wait for the NYT to explain who the villains are in any given story, spoiler, it's republicans and to point that out would be too close to giving away the game.

the NYT has to bothsides everything.

What I want to know is, will the trial be managed by Marjorie Taylor Greene?

Because if so, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let it happen. It would be so much fun to watch her fall apart in real time.

Why don’t the House GOP fire Mike Johnson and vote Marge Taylor for Speaker of the House? (Answer from GOP to me…because WE’RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT, YOU IGNORANT SLUT).

So Mayorkas keeps his job, won’t be removed in the Senate, and if they have a “trial,” he can simply answer every question with “didn’t your colleagues in the House kill the immigration reform bill? Adding 20,000 border patrol and administration officials would have gone a long way to improving the situation. Instead, they want to preserve the issue and accuse me of imaginary high crimes and misdemeanors.”

I really really really hope they have a trial. Just to watch Republicans fall flat on their faces.

I’m wondering if a trial was never part of the plot. Even Senate Republicans aren’t jazzed about wasting time with this political diversion. Certainly it ends in an acquittal, which does nothing for the House wingers. I bet they simply keep talking about this “impeachment” and “scheduling” a “trial” for fall, or December, whatever they think will be most useful. Who knows. Most Republicans are in Congress to make money for themselves and their friends, enjoy/abuse their power and play political games.

I'd make sure he specified "Republican colleagues" in his responses.

Look at those sad faces behind Mike Johnson. Getting caught in the background of a Mike Johnson photo is similar to when basketball players try to get out of the frame when being dunked on. You don’t want to end up on a Mike Johnson poster in some Bible college someday. How embarrassing.

I don't know whether the sight of MTG presenting her "case" to the Senate would be worth the price of admission or not. It would be the dumbest shit you have ever seen on television, that's for sure.

I'd put it in a tie with "My Mother the Car."

Explaining this to those who are too young now to understand (assuming global warming doesn't end civilization as we know it before we have to do that) is going to be completely bizarre. I had a flash of my high school history teacher talking about WWI trench warfare, while we all sat agog at the absurdity and waste.

When I was a kid I thought Watergate had something to do with a gate in the water.

When I heard tv news discussing a "gangland style murder", I was imagining a very violent theme park.

Nice to see Manchin isn't being a prick about this.

He's trying to burnish his 'cred' for a no labels candidacy.

What grinding my gears is that the Democrats like Schumer are very clear that there is no evidence of anything to support impeachment, yet news headlines claim that Democrats oppose impeachment over “policy difference.”

Christ on a popsicle stick.

That's what pisses me off so much about the constant whining about "dEmOcRaTs ArE bAd At MeSsAgInG!1!" It's really hard for Democrats to get their message out when it's forced through the "bothsides" grinder that always winds up making things taste bland and ineffectual.

Thank you! When the message carriers, fuck up the message on purpose, it's infuriating!

I want a full senate investigation live on camera. I want republicans to show us what exactly they impeached Mayorkas for. Live on camera. I want to see them squirm, get caught in lies, and show their asses. Live on camera.
