There were more than a few Republicans that said nominating Byron shows everyone HOW WE ARE NOT RACISTS WHICH WE HAVE NOW PROVEN BY NOMINATING OUR BLACK REPRESENTATIVE!
“We need a MAGA speaker. That’s what it comes down to. Because if you look at the numbers, if you look at the energy, if you look at the heat, this is the Trump party, this is the MAGA party. It is no longer the old-school khaki establishment Republican Party.”
This is a campaign ad right there. They’re telling us that, yes, this is the party of dumb shitheads and that all voters can expect is incompetence, chaos, and stupidity. This is the party of your racist uncle, your idiot cousin, your deranged sister-in-law, your crazy neighbor; the party of every fucking moron you’ve encountered in the last eight years.
I don't know anything about Emmers, but from an "enemy of my enemy" perspective, if the fascist MAGAts don't want him, then I think maybe he's right for the job.
“We need to: Secure our border. Fund our government responsibly. Advance our conservative agenda. Expand our Republican majority.”
That has to be a collection of oxymorons in the vein of jumbo shrimp and conservative intellectual. Republicans are not the majority, and the conservative agenda is to "advance" the US back to 1862.
Mr. Donalds wishes to fund our government responsibly. Presumably that would involve increasing taxes on those who can afford it, as the Treasury Dept has spoken and the answer is that the Bush and Trump Tax Cuts for the wealthy has added a total of $10 Trillion to the National Debt (57% of the total)
I did not like the Conor/Cordelia pairing in Angel. I know she got pregnant in real life, but thought Joss could have done better. Love Gina Torres, though. With Buffy, I am Team Angel, although Spike is a hoot.
I was told that Cordelia's plot was basically punishment for Charisma Carpenter, for getting pregnant (after postponing for a while) in spite of Joss telling her not to
I agree. And Joss's descent into mediocre white man bullshit was enormously disappointing to me. I had noticed Sarah Michelle Geller didn't seem to join in the hero worship of Joss so many joined in on, and that must be why. She knew he was scum.
However, without a speaker, we're going to have a protracted shutdown.....which, granted, is exactly what they want, but it is going to hurt their own far more than the affluent coasts.
which can only help come the 2024 election cycle (I hate that people will be hurt by it, but people vote in their own selfish interest and if the Dems can smash the 'your rep can't govern like an adult, put us in charge' message this will only do us some good
Zombie Aunt Bee was more recently convicted on contempt of KKKongress and sentenced to a month in prison, I think, however he hasn't gone to jail... because our "legal" system coddles insane far-white fascists?
was 5th season angel muppet angel. because that was best angel.
"It is no longer the old-school khaki establishment Republican Party.”
Khaki? Really? I always thought the old-school GOP was the three-piece-suit, widow's peak party...
And from Steve Bannon we learn that "Tom Emmer is Nancy Pelosi in a suit," huh? The House Republican Conference should be so lucky!
Drusilla for speaker!
I'm not saying I agree with all of Spike's policies, but his voice does things to me. He could Speak at me all day.

Take that, libs!

No, he's not: https://www.downwithtyranny.com/post/the-coverage-of-the-speaker-candidates-is-incredibly-bad-take-tom-emmer-r-mn-for-example
So Kevin Hern heads the "Republican Study Committee"?
I have no idea what they could be studying, except how to be bigger assholes. And they're already Ph.D. black belt masters at that.
I feel like a Zombie already. Ugh!
I think I've heard of Pete Sessions.........isn't he the kid of a corrupt FBI guy from back in the day?
One so dirty that Attorney General BILL BARR (first go around) called out publicly, and that Slick Willie wound up firing?
We are surrounded by lunatics FFS. That is all.
We need MAGA-trash to step up!

it was Charisma who broke the whole 'joss whedan is A Asshole' story, right? man what A Asshole.

i did wish The Nevers had a longer run. that shit was good.
I'm fine with Speaker None of the Above.
Anything that comes outta this deranged, sadistic, terrorist Ku Klux Kongress is just gonna be another attack on decent people at home and abroad.
Maybe they could elect a pet like that one town where the mayor is a dog.
This is true.

Why isn't Bannon in prison?
For anything not covered by Trump's pardons? I'm guessing he's a secret flipper.
He got pardoned by President Klan Robe.
Didn't Trump pardon him?
