#GOP shitshow

Just to point out that while George Santos was finally expelled from the U.S. House of Representatives after being charged with 23 felony crimes, committing astounding levels of fraud, and fabricating absolutely stupid amounts of his background, it still required the heavy-lifting of Democratic members to close the deal, and a majority of Republicans voted to allow him to remain.

House Speaker Mike Johnson -- who was unanimously elected as the Republican leader of the House by GOP members in October -- continued to demonstrate his moral leadership by voting to let Santos hold on to his seat in Congress.

Also who remembers when there was a bunch of Trumps supporters sending threats about Dodger?

Threatening to Kill him

I don’t care about your position in life, nobody is fucking above the law. SCOTUS disagrees, apparently.

In my ideal world the Dems use this to their advantage and go ALL FUCKING scorched earth on the Gov and the GOP can’t do shit.

Will it happen? No. They’ll be the “bigger” guys.

At this point fucking burn it all down, idgaf.

[gaykarstaagforever]

...Okay, fine. I'll be Speaker of the House.

I am obviously qualified because I hate most Republicans, just like most Republicans do.

Y’all🤣 I’ve been down at the Alabama gulf coast for vacation, and this commercial was played multiple times on all the tv stations (Mobile, AL to Pensacola, FL). While I understand that what he did is no laughing matter, it’s nice to see Beavis and Butthead’s love child get called out for his nastiness!

[tehjleck]

Folks... listen, we need to give credit where it's due...

On the one hand I would prefer a functional government, but on the other, the sheer comedy and Schadenfreude of the House Republicans descending into petty, humiliating chaos while the Dem folks are showing up with literal popcorn and chanting for their own Speaker nominee like this is a high school sports game is filling me with manic glee.

By no means is Disney an ally to LGBTQ+ community, and I’m the last person to side with a mega corporation, but seeing Ronnie boy bent over in front of the entire nation gets me high on serotonin

What does amaze me is the audacity. I have no idea what DeSantis was thinking. Maybe he wasn’t thinking, maybe homophobia liquified his brain and left it leaking from his nostrils. Cause how the fuck do you start a legal battle over some petty bullshit with a corporate giant that a) is the favorite vacation spot of your rich conservative donors and b) is the biggest employer in your whole state? Bitch???

I hope we will see the shitshow happen in the courtroom. Disney’s lawyers are going to rawdog Ronnie. They’ll take him from every angle in every orifice

GOP lawyers have the competency levels of a lobotomized piñata. Disney can legally buy DeSantis’ kidneys, bake them into pies, and sell them as treats in Magic Kingdom

"We did nothing wrong. This is all Biden, indictments and impeachments and this is all about Biden, he can't do anything right. The only thing they know how to do is cheat in elections and election fraud. This is all by himself. All of these indictments that you see. I was never indicted. Practically never heard the word. It wasn't a word that registered." -- Former President Donald Trump answering questions from reporters while campaigning in New Hampshire on Oct. 23, 2023. In case anyone has missed it, Trump has been very obviously and publicly criminally indicted and arrested four times since March. Also, in case anybody has missed it, Trump remains, by far, the leading candidate for the 2024 Republican Presidential nomination and still the clear leader of the Republican Party.

Y'all a$$holes🐷 stole my identity, so I took your "storyline narrative" that you were using to try and destroy Chris, his reputation, his career and his life, knotted it like a pretzel and then twisted it til there was nothing but crumbs left......

An i for an eye, a t for the Trooth

Not only did both teams expose themselves for lifting ideas straight out of fandom forums and message boards, but the Media showed their own asses as well for quoting rumours fed to the fans by professional trolls burning both ends of the publicity budget 😂😂😂😂😂

Goes to show you how fake everything in Hollywood really is, that it's all about the transactions, which is apparently what they consider of more value than the people working within it, it's why the workers in that industry have been out there striking for their rights

No legitimate sources to be found or confirmed, tabloids and rumour mongers are quoting each other and reselling the story after getting paid or using it for content to drive traffic for their own reward (clickbait dealers)

Still nothing confirmed by TMZ? 🤔

No legit pics anywhere, photoshop galore, data on story images manipulated, major stars with platforms being prevented from publicly supporting the SAG Strike, PR firms only out for their own gain, hackers, scammers, threats to fans, probably Chris and his family as well,

Trump supporters everywhere and anyone that dared speak out about him having been silenced or having their ability to speak out about the current trial undermined while the people are trying to unionise to fight for their rights

Do you see the pattern?

All roads lead to Rome

We rise together or we fall together

It's time to break the cycle

so gaetz is withdrawing from consideration for ag and I was disappointed bc that sounded like it meant the great gop fuckening wouldn't happen but apparently mtg and Lauren boebert had a fight in the bathroom? about sexual misconduct reports?? it's still happening I think there's still gonna be a shitshow

What sucks is that even if Kamala wins she still has to contend with a probable GOP Senate and Court which will slow or stop any change she wants to implement

And she knew this too because, for example, she deliberately says "When congress passes an abortion bill, I'll proudly sign it into law", instead of promising returning reproductive rights outright so she has an out and puts the responsibility on congress rather than her

An undeniably skilled rhetorician, I just really wish this country wasn't a fucking circus and the court wasn't a shitshow right now

Additional context: support for gun control here in Ohio (background checks, magazine limits...you know, logical things for anyone who isn't a rabid gun nut) is also polling at about 55-58%.

Bonus context: some of the organizations supporting Issue 1 are Ohio gun groups and the "we need to ~protect~ women and innocent children from abortion" groups. (Zero self-awareness about the hypocrisy of refusing to protect those children from guns after they're born, of course.) On the "vote no" side is Planned Parenthood and the ACLU, if that tells you anything.

I cannot stress enough how much the GOP is pushing this issue with every lie they can; how it's about "protecting Ohio's constitution," keeping The Libs(TM) from indoctrinating/transing your kids, protecting your guns, etc. They're pulling every knee-jerk issue they can into this to get their base out to vote on this, and if it passes I genuinely don't want to think what the state will look like.

Because it's not just about the chance to enshrine abortion rights into the state constitution. It's also about any future chance of a fair election in the state, especially since we're still trying to get rid of the gerrymandered-as-hell congressional map that, you guessed it, Ohio GOP reps forced through. It's about Frank LaRose, Secretary of State for Ohio, showing up at a pro-Issue 1 rally and what that says about his impartiality as the arbiter of the state's voting processes.

Please, if you're in Ohio and you can vote get out and vote today, or if you know anyone in Ohio, encourage them to go vote no on Issue 1. Polls should be open until 7:30 pm statewide, but double check your polling site.

Hey, Ohio! Vote NO on Issue 1 August 8th if you believe 1 person = 1 vote. Y'know, the way democracy works.

The deadline to be registered to vote this election is July 10th -- 5 days!!!

Was trump really able to do that much? One of the criticisms I keep seeing is that Trump actually did things (even if people disagreed with said things) while apparently Biden's hands are tied for every issue? And I kinda feel like that's intentionally misleading? iirc Trump issued a ton of executive orders, and the bills he pushed through happened because he had majorities. Why are people expecting Biden to be able to do the same when he doesn't have that

The thing is! Trump didn't actually do that much!

Yes, he issued some awful executive orders (most of which were repealed by Biden on Day 1) and got the compliant Republican Congress to approve giant tax breaks for the rich and other traditional GOP economic thievery, but aside from that, his legislative successes were very limited. They didn't even manage to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which they really wanted to do.

By FAR Trump's biggest impact, and the one that will continue to screw us for decades in the future, is that he got to fill three Supreme Court seats with hard-right neocons, helped by Mitch McConnell's brazen cheating. Which a lot of Democrats were warning about before the election, and which Hillary Clinton herself was ALSO warning about: that SCOTUS was in a vulnerable position with many elderly or retiring justices, and the next president would reshape it for the next generation. But too many Online Leftists went Wah Wah BernieorBust, too many ordinary Americans bought into bog-standard misogyny and decades of Republican smears against HRC, and here we are.

Likewise: anyone who bitches about "Biden Not Doing Anything" has not read a single actual news source, or made any effort to educate themselves on what he has actually accomplished, in an extremely adverse legislative climate and with Manchin and Sinema reliably on hand to torpedo his agenda in the Senate. Biden has actual PAGES of accomplishments made through the legislative process, which are harder to undo than just repealing executive orders. I'm not a fan of him, say, approving the Willow project and I hope the administration hears about it, but that doesn't take away from the fact that yet again, a Democratic president was called on to fix the absolute stinking shitshow left by the Republican incumbent, and not only did that, but made some huge generational (and long-overdue) systemic reforms, even in a difficult political climate, because he worked through the system and made sure they stuck. What a thought.
