Oh My Godif I never have to see any of these smarmy, performative, know-nothing jerkoffs showing their asses by sneering at their dignified, know-lotsofstuff betters, it will be way fucking too soon.

Austin should have said that this word is not in his vocabulary, could gaetz explain what in the hell he's talking about.

Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century is an awesome work of scholarship that every person who claims to be educated should be familiar with.

I am begging someone, anyone, to respond to one of these hysterical fantasy sessions by asking for a definition of what they mean by ‘socialism.’ Because the conservative argument against socialism seems to be “anything but capitalism is communism so socialism is bad.” Republicans count on being able to obfuscate through interrupting, yelling, playing the victim, and intentionally misusing words. So fuck it, waste their time right back. Spend their five minutes on the definition of “is.” Stay calm and push back on the framing because the conclusion is beyond bullshit.

The US military is basically a Socialist structure/organization, so fuck you very much, Matt Gaetz. Here is an article about this criminal’s performance that I saw in this military news site. It has pictures and is pretty fun. Almost Wonkette quality snark.

I heard Gaetz wouldn't go on that speaking tour with Marge until they convinced him it was like hanging out with three 16 year olds.

Has anyone ever asked L’il Babby Matty to define ‘socialism’? Seeing as he’s such a scholar of international politics and economic systems and stuff?

Also, seems like the word ‘democratic’ preceded the word ‘socialism’ in a couple of Gaetz’s read-aloud GQP talking points, not that he would know the difference, nor care. What matters is shouty, faux-indignant bullshit for the RW media shitheads, using such scary words as SOCIALISM!!

Matt just wants to be invited back by Fox News. His crack about bringing his teenage girlfriend to dinner with Fucker and his wife was a big Faux paw.

"You guys said that Russia would overrun Ukraine in three to six days." You promised!

"Wokeness" is Republican speak for being a decent human being. They can't have that spreading around to red states. It's toxic to their brand.

I actually think he's already back on Fox News. I saw him on last week or the week before. I was surprised, because I thought he got banned after the "girlfriend" comment. Guess it's because they haven't indicted him, and Fox equates lack of indictment with exoneration.

Fratty Matty, the military is the most socialist thing in the USA. Current members get free healthcare, free or greatly subsidized food, free or greatly subsidized housing, free job training, free life insurance, reduced family health insurance, even free travel if you can find a spot on a cargo or transport plane. Those retired or separated might get free or subsidzed healthcare for life, compensation money for injuries for life, and money for college, which they can transfer to a spouse or child if they don't need it. Illinois even goes above with the IL Veterans Grant, and pays tuition for state school undergrad, so you can save your GI Bill for grad school, or double dip to pay for books, supplies, food, and housing.

Every senator and congressman (even non-voting ones from not even states like the Virgin Islands and Wash D.C.) can appoint a high school kid to get a free college education from the state socialist universities. Now that's some woke socialism.
