She has the political instincts of half empty diaper pail.

Especially when their majority just keeps getting smaller and smaller.

"In between meetings, she had given Johnson a list of demands she wanted implemented, which included no more aid to Ukraine and defunding special counsel Jack Smith's office."


"The House quickly moved to hold a vote on a motion to table, or effectively kill, Greene's effort to oust Johnson. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise rose to request the vote on tabling Greene's resolution, which passed with bipartisan support.

The final vote to dismiss of Greene's motion was 359-43 with seven lawmakers voting present. Lawmakers cheered when the tally was read out.

Eleven Republicans and 32 Democrats voted against killing Greene's motion."

Someone nailed her official portrait!!

That woman makes my skin crawl. I really really dislike her. I hope she gets canned on her next reelection attempt.

 

[MrSquished]

The Dems got aid for Ukraine. What major concession did we get from him now? It better be big or fuck the Dems

Unfortunately, as long as Republicans as a whole and even-further-right MAGA republicans specifically refuse to change their tact, they're going to attract ever more skin-crawly candidates voted in by equally gross constituents.

Remember that she ran on a platform of 'prevent government from functioning'.

I have a feeling it's a we'll keep you out of jail if you just fuck off quietly and let the old party come back.

But as MTG has shown the time has dawned on the Planet of the Apes and consequently the human species cannot compete with the strength of the MAGA apes!

He so bravely allowed a majority vote at the absolute last minute.
I know it is chickenshit, but in order to get even that much out of the House, we likely agreed to keep him safe from even eviler shits like Marge.

It's pretty bananas that an extreme zealot like Mike Johnson is considered the rational choice. Tells you how far off the rails the Republican party has gone.

Well important thing is he isn’t taking his extreme views to dictate policy. Unlike many Repugican governors and states

Yeah and as of now it appears you can:
Actually make a deal with him
He won’t wiggle out of what he agrees to

 

[Perknose]

This deal. Dems could make this deal with him. Never forget he's a far right Republican.

 

[Indus]

Yeah right now his house is on fire, so he's not exactly worrying about the flood, but the fucker is going to want to price gouge $50 for a bottle of water soon enough.

Just vote Biden and Dem.

It's easier than thinking about what kind of people they have in that congressional district to be willing to vote her in repeatedly! Now that should really make your skin crawl!

Lol he'll take the puppy killer over Harris

LOL.

I'll take a bag of old turds over Kamala Harris.

 

[brycejones]

LOL.

I'll take a bag of old turds over Kamala Harris.

What did she do that makes you dislike her so much?

 

[IronWing]

LOL.

I'll take a bag of old turds over Kamala Harris.

Why? Harris is the perfect Dem for you. She doesn't do anything.

 

[pcgeek11]

What did she do that makes you dislike her so much?

She has accomplished absolutely nothing. I think she is dumber than a rock and that laugh.

Why? Harris is the perfect Dem for you. She doesn't do anything.

So you agree with me she is useless.

 

[IronWing]

So you agree with me she is useless.

Yes. Being useless is better than being actively evil, which is what you get if you elect Republicans. Harris should certainly get your vote over any Republican candidate.

Not a chance in hell... None.

Is there something she did before she became VP or you just dislike her because what she does in her current role isn't visible to you?

 

[repoman0]

He hates her because he’s been conditioned to hate her. The rest of us never think about her.

She has a vagina and extra melanin.
