JenX@GottaLaff This is a crying shame. R.I.P. America.
@JenX Exactly. What a disaster.
Richard 🏳️🌈@GottaLaff unfortunately, it’s all on our shoulders.
We’ll have to hold the mainstream media accountable for trying to start a feeding frenzy.
They always lower standards for republicans.
We’ll have to avoid the clickbait and change the channel.
The challenge is getting people to do that, instead of feeding the addiction to scandal that has overtaken the nation.
@prodygy I just suggested the same to someone! 👊

It's a miserable truth. Pandering to foolish & dimwitted people gets ratings. Truth & honor be damned.

jenhansen@amandacsb2 @GottaLaff I wonder if a free exoskeleton came with the huge check McCarthy took from some filthy rich white supremacist, because he demonstrates daily how he is completely lacking a spine, a conscience, and any self-respect.
JamesWNeal@GottaLaff Ranking Member, Jamie Raskin is a good bet to provide strong counterpoint, both during committee hearings and immediately afterward.
@JamesWNeal He always is superb, but without power, all he's got is his counterpoint. It's up to us.
@GottaLaff I don't entirelly agree. Raskin being on the committee means he'll know what they know, which means for perhaps the first time, when they spout off, somebody's going to hammer them in real time, try to get them to explain their b.s. Most of them have never been held accountable by anyone before. Raskin will provide the ammunition & that's where we come in, don't you think?
@JamesWNeal I do, but practically speaking, that's all he can do, he can't stop the constant 24/7 news cycle regurgitating fascist sound bites, nor can he stop the hearings and the damage they'll do.
@GottaLaff I understand the concern, but I'm just not one who focuses on people who grab the mic & yell b.s. It's true they'll have more credibility with some because of their positions, & I doubt they'll suddenly decide they want to hit any news shows that won't simply let them amplify their crap, but they're playing in the big leagues now, which means people who never got how nuts they are will be getting a strong dose. Not good for them, I think.
@JamesWNeal I agree with all of that. But while your first point that Raskin's counterpoint will be effective, I don't think it'll be effective ENOUGH. Yes, GOP will show themselves, yes, people will see how nuts they are, but so much damage will have been done during the process (economic, psychological, etc.) that I don't think it's as big a win as maybe you're saying?
@GottaLaff I just don't think the far right's got the kind of traction they think they do and the more the rest of the country hears them in their own words, the less I think most will like it. Sure, they steamrolled McCarthy and the result's going to most likely be such a shitshow ppl will see nothing getting done, possible fistfights, etc. It's not parliment. There's a reason GOP's already fielding people more moderate (a relative term)
Lorenzo "LO" Fuentes 805@GottaLaff i was hoping merrick garland would have pursued these mopes, but he appears to be taking his dirt nap.
@lorenzo We'll see.

Rocky 💜💙2 years of assholes who really won't have much power. We can ride it out... we have before.
@RockyM At what cost? They're hellbent on destroying the world economy, democracy. I'm not feeling as "ride it out" as you are.
I guess I feel like there's very little we can do at this point. Things have a way of working themselves out and we got a ton of them out in the midterms so the next two years should be better than the last six.
@RockyM I hope so. I don't have confidence in things working out. We had Trump for 4 years and now a 6-3 Trump court and a fascist House.
I can tell you I have not enjoyed the past few years, but unfortunately, sometimes things have to hit rock bottom before they can get better. I'm hoping the next couple of years will flush out the worst of the worst and Trump's cult will slowly die off or be run out of town.
It is sad to see how many disgusting humans are out there, I'm Jewish, female and older so I thought I had seen a lot by now... nope.
@RockyM I am too. I hear ya. Every word.

Dems = Pepsi,
GOP = Coke
Dems/Pepsi “why are so many people buying coke not Pepsi! Damn you dumb customers you idiots buy more Pepsi!”
Customers “both Pepsi & coke suck maybe change your product & yelling at potential customers is not going to sell anymore cans of Pepsi”
Doreen32128 ready to rumble!@GottaLaff This is horrifying!
@Doreen32128 Beyond.
mudsharkbytes@GottaLaff I’m DELIGHTED to see the Republicans learned absolutely nothing from the pink splash they got instead of the red wave they were expecting at the midterms. They seem to think getting rid of Donald Trump will solve their problems so they’re putting batshit crazy front and foremost as if they have some kind of mandate instead of a razor thin edge.
Good.
This is going to boost Democrats into a supermajority in 2024 and I couldn’t be happier.
@mudsharkbytes I'd be happy with that outcome, but not the damage done globally and to our country in the process
@GottaLaff Outside of destroying the global economy there is scant little the idiots in the house are going to be able to accomplish with such a razor thin majority in one chamber of congress.
IF they crash the world they’re toast for eternity and they know it so that’s not going to happen either, plus, there’s ways around them when it comes to the debt limit.
It’ll be two years of sickening nonsense then the voters will drop the other shoe in 2024 and it’s goodbye GOP.

Graham Lester@GottaLaff All four of these are Putin supporters who have unfailingly voted against help for Ukraine. It is not a coincidence!
DanaBlankenhorn@DanaBlankenhorn That's exactly what I said! Us!
@GottaLaff Agreed. Sorry if I offended you in any way. My bird site snark got the best of me.
@DanaBlankenhorn No no! I wasn’t offended, I was agreeing!

TAI@GottaLaff But Biden appointing Garland didn't have consequences. We deserve this for sticking our heads in the sand, getting played for fools....we are fools.
