    Johnson losing control of the House is like me losing a million dollars: can’t lose what you never had.

      I fully support the leaking of Star Trek memes into other Lemmy communities

    Johnson should have been been a bit more humble. it was a Speakership. should have gone with being Aron instead of Moses.

    clearly god is punishing him for his hubris.

    “It’s violence against the speaker,” Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, told NOTUS of discharge petitions.

    What a fucking drama queen. Violence is when we can’t obstruct on behalf of Trump and Putin!

    It would be a shame if this christofascist wound up with egg on his face. Can I please be there to taunt him?

    Well, the anti democratic swill that are the Rethuglican congress members are showing their true colours as Ruzzian collaborators.

      why did anybody everything wordplay in politics was a good idea, i genuinely can’t stand it. You wanna make shitty jokes be my guest, do something other than mashing two words together because funny.

      It looks stupid when republicans do it, it looks dumb when liberals do it. It’s not very clever, it doesn’t aid at all in making ANY point. I don’t even see the humor.

      maybe i’m just too disillusioned for this shit.

          it really is, it’s so obnoxious i genuinely can’t stand it.

          I think i would actually respect someone less if they did it infront of me IRL.

        I try to downvote ever post where I see that crap. This name calling shit is childish and serves no purpose. Hell, it maybe makes things worse.

        People on the name calling side, “Yeah! We scored one!”

        People on the other side, “Fucking children.”

          literally this.

          I am not the kind of person to tell on people cuz i just don’t give a shit. But genuinely, i think this should be a firable offense.

          I genuinely think an employer presented this post, should reconsider said employment.

    He’ll let a bill come to the floor before he lets a discharge petition get passed. That might piss off some of the hardliners, but showing that nobody’s running the show would be worse.
