“I’m reminded that in addition to being exceedingly cruel, the people responsible for this great loss of our most fundamental rights are also exceedingly fucking [ableist slur].”

How is this different than past July 4th Bud Light campaigns or what we’d expect from them if there hadn’t been any GQP BS?

In fairness, if either Moms for Hitler or Adolf Liberty had been more successful, no one would have been able to complain

Just a quick reminder that the house GQP couldn’t elect a speaker and commence the 118th congress on time, but they sure could remove the magnetometers that screened for guns entering the chamber.

In fairness, the Republicans have been edging towards this for an exceedingly long time now; we shouldn’t be too surprised if they’ve worked themselves into a froth.

While it’s certainly possible that’s a hickey, my money’s on weird cosmetic surgery treatment, entry point

“So she was either lying then or lying now [...]”

A couple decades ago, and I think you’d be right on the money, but somewhere along the line GQP started electing some true believers of the crap they’d been peddling to their base, and while their leadership and old hands might prefer they hype and drop it, with their slim margin, I don’t think they can manage that…

“It’s highly unlikely that President Biden would sign an appropriations bill with something like this in it” While I believe the president is genuinely and strongly against such provisions, I have trouble believing the Republicans won’t manage to concoct another budget catastrophe wherein Biden either has to accept…

“Joe Biden has seen an areola before, even a full boob.” The context it happens in still matters, though; odds are both the president and first lady are naked in the White House at some point most every day, too, just not during public  events.

Again, I also have some of those feelings, but I do think it’s worth remembering that how Ford got the presidency [1] included Agnew’s resignation (due to an unrelated scandal), so rather than requiring a naive belief in better campaigns, he could have had a very grounded belief that the system adequately…

In fairness, it’s documented that Boebert birthed four...

“[...] Trump said during his first campaign [...]” Less to nitpick than to remind anyone who cares that he’s a loser, who loses, and has lost multiple campaigns, but 2016 wasn’t his first run at the presidency.

In fairness, when you count 38 million GQP members _and_ each one’s imaginary Black friend (from that racist thing they said or did), that alone gets you to 75 million with enough room to cover for a full million (probably among imaginary ones) of them being unwilling to acknowledge any commonality with Kari Lake

Yes, but it’s muted by the idea that Ford probably believed he was closing the book on an aberrant chapter of American history and attempting to heal the nation. That anger tends to flow towards all the assholes in the Reagan administration who took it as license to go buck wild, and the long, long line of Republican…

In fairness, I understand they took the black bear to Maryland without a seatbelt, and they’re known for giving detainees rough rides out that way

[Repost of https://jezebel.com/1850471548] Thank you, but the GED stuff, while amusing, is nowhere near the best with Boebert; that probably has to be her “Shooters Grill”, bloody diarrhea rodeo story.

With his dissent clocking in at almost 50 pages, it’s a good thing Thomas is deserving of such enduring hate.

Her referencing the “in crowd” sounded more like middle school drama at it’s most insufferable, but you may be capturing the tantrum aspect better
