look - as painful as this is for a lot of people, we need to see the R's base hit hard in their wallets by this shit, because that is the only way to make them look at what they elected. And Dems need to run hard ads, wall to wall, for every day of the shutdown putting the blame where it is
McCarthy got 291 days as Speaker. How much do you reckon ol' Mikey's gonna get? In fractions of a McCarthy. I've got $5 on 1/3 of a Mccarthy. That gets him almost all the way to Feb.
as a youth a group of us would put on our sunday best, drop acid, & go to midnite mass at the Shrine of the Little Flower (the church that father coughlin built) at 12 Mile & Woodward on christmas eve… didn’t know it’s history at that point (bigot built), we were there for pomp & circumstance … of which there was plenty … thanks for the reminder dok …
The only solution to the Freedom Caucus is an equally preposterous caucus on our side. Simply obstructing to be obstructionist at EVERY TURN, but our issue will be the non-existence of God in policy. That’s it. It’s what we run on, it’s what we’ll win on, and it’ll be all we do wherever we win. Just pull religion out of EVERYTHING involving government. Fuck these silly fairy tales. Enough is enough
Fivehead was behind the McCarthy job. Haven't heard him yapping yet. This could be fallout from whacking McCarthy. Some GOP moderates( in tough districts) are now willing to work across the aisle just enough to negate some of the havoc the FC loonies are hell bent to unleash on the American people.
Hey Dems, I know the temptation is to let these idiots eat themselves. And that's good!
But if you want to have a little fun with the MAGA congressional chuds, ask one of them exactly what spending IN THEIR OWN DISTRICT are they willing to sacrifice?
“It will be very frustrating and really flies in the face of all that we’ve been fighting for,” said Rep. Andrew Ogles (R-Tenn.), a member of the Freedom Caucus.
I'm curious. what *does* the Freedom Caucus stand for? we do know what they're against but what are they actually for? (rhetorical question. we know the answer)
Seems Johnson is offering pretty much what McCarthy did--kick the can down the road before eventually offering some face saving nothing to get the Dems behind it--and is only coasting on the fact that he's a religious dipshit MAGA for the temporary goodwill of his members. Let's see how long that lasts.
The sooner voters, and law enforcement, ideally, recognize that the "far-right" congress-critters are there not to govern but to destroy the government, the better. There is no good faith approach to dealing with terrorists like Greene, Gaetz, or -- waves hand at the entire GOP House.
Dok! "Freedom cockups....Freedom coughlins..." 10/10. No notes

i don't think anyone should be taking spending / funding / financial advice from someone that doesn't even have a bank account.
[In deep, Orson-Welles-as-The-Shadow voice] Or does he????????? [Rumbling, menacing laugh.]
But isn't he trying to bridge the gap-- isn't that surprising?
Not surprising from people who support the fossil fuel industry and simultaneously claim that Earth is only 6000 years old

Excellent suggestion.
Oh, god. February 2 is Groundhog Day. I think they're trying to tell us something.

They are for an honest day's work for under-the-table Putin pay.
Cut government* to the bone!
* excluding defense, veterans, farm subsidies, any program that their rural, elderly base uses
No taxes, no government, and no uppity women and minorities.

But the spineless Dems will continue with the good faith shit until they are defeated and/or killed.
'Freedom Coughlins' is absolutely brilliant!
