There is a part of me that delights in their infighting, but also it would be cool to have one of the three main branches of the federal government be functional. If McCarthy can’t even get himself fucking elected because of these far-right dipshits how is he going any legislation passed?

While it’s highly unlikely to happen, the Democrats don’t actually need any Republicans to cross over to vote for Jeffries for him to become speaker. They just need some of them to either vote present or just not show up for the vote. Right now the magic number to win the speakership is 218, but that number would go…

Ouch. Imagine the moment when you realize you were outmaneuvered by the brain trust of Florida Man and Beta Palin. That’s got to be a hard look in the mirror.

Ah, give us a break. Schadenfreude rarely has much to do with the end result. We have to take our pleasures where we can find them.

“I’m a Florida man” - Matt Gaetz

“It’s a shame. It makes us look foolish. If I didn’t know any better, it’s like the Democrats paid these people off... Let’s make it look like the Republicans can’t govern and don’t deserve any gavels whatsoever. That’s what it makes it look like.”

There’s no one else that has even close to a majority, so the likeliest result is McCarthy gets there on the 20th ballot or whatever after promising what’s left of the scraps of his soul to Boebert and Gaetz et al.

Some good stuff on here.

And meanwhile, in “how adults really run a country” Scotland just made it that little bit easier to transition. (Fuck you, Terfs, Joanne Karen Rowling) Proving that we’ve become easily the kindest part of the UK. Not a bad place to be, considering that it was still illegal to be homosexual in Scotland as recently as…

Perhaps updated: Playground. Middle school’s. Couple o’ long-gun fools.

Ah, the old he doesn’t really give a shit because he doesn’t dick you down argument.

Being a jackass online got them attention though, that’s what they’re really looking for.

These people are speaking out of their asses.

Hahahaha!

Any right leaning independents out there want to provide a rational reason why you think voting for a Republican is ever a good idea in light of the, once again, spectacle of the clown car on fire careening out of control down the freeway show ramping up?

Does this snake eating its own tail battle end up like Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton??? Seeing as how these two morons love guns so much, let’s put them 20 paces apart in the middle of the street and see how things shake out. At least we’d be down one of ‘em.

They should settle their argument in the way their beloved Founding Fathers would have back in their day: Firearms at ten paces.

Depp aside, remember how the first Pirates movie came out, and everyone agreed it was a small miracle that something pretty good came out of the thinnest excuse for an IP, a neglected theme park ride? Then they were like, “It’s going to be a trilogy”, and everyone agreed that was probably not going to work as well as…

Bruckheimer should look at how poorly the last two Pirates films did.

PotC 4 focused almost exclusively on Depp, and PotC 5 wasn’t far behind.

Maybe the box office cancelled Depp, not anyone else.

Hey, as an old man yelling at clouds, I’d like to point a vital difference. Being a cranky old bastard is one thing - being a raging asshole is another. In comedy, there’s the concept of punching up vs. punching down. The former is transgressive, but cathartic - that’s what satire is all about. The latter is pure…
