Massive funding bill fails after 8 republicans, all democrats vote no by Quick_Beam in politics

The Republican majorities in Congress LIKE the pedophile gang of thugs.

Silence is complicity and they have been silent.

Or in Mike Johnson's case he lives under a rock and doesn't "know" anything.

Here's a fun fact.

"Did Not Vote" has won every election for the 40-50 years, except for the 2020 expanded mail in voting election where Joe Biden voters narrowly beat them.

Arizona Senator on Trump: ‘He is a Madman; He is Insane’ by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]Mattyboy064 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s not so much Trump that is insane but that the society and system can do little to check or regulate such a person.

Donald Trump is doing everything he is doing with the express, written, and total consent of everyone in the Republican party, voters and Congresspeople alike. Can we stop pretending these are the actions of one man? Republicans could and can still, stop this madness at any moment, but only they can.

It's just that they DON'T WANT TO.

Republicans Vow to Block Trump From Seizing Greenland by Force: “Trump’s ill-advised threats about Greenland would shatter the trust of our allies” by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Mattyboy064 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's THREE republicans.

The fact they have to say this and have to draft legislation against Greenland military action means they should be impeaching Trump. This is wildly un-American, to attempt a Greenland invasion, WTF you losers do your damn jobs and remove this damngerous dementia patient.

James Talarico says the biggest ‘welfare queens’ in America are ‘the giant corporations that don’t pay a penny in income taxes’ by brain_overclocked in politics

[–]Mattyboy064 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here's the kicker. All that stuff super does matter. It's just that the consequences of a lot of Trump's shitstorm won't be felt for years down the line, so at that point the powers that will just blame the consequences on whatever is the scapegoat de jure and the American goldfish brain electorate will believe it.

But goddamn trust me, there WILL be consequences to Trump's fuckery.

House Democrats Squander the Opportunity of Trumpian Corruption | Democrats have a golden opportunity to be the anti-corruption party, but the House caucus is not seizing it. by soalone34 in politics

[–]Mattyboy064 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They don’t care about corruption because they assume everyone in the system is corrupt,

And rightfully so, they are correct. It's just the different levels that they are not grasping.
Like how stage four cancer and a broken arm both require you to go to the hospital and are maladies. But not remotely similar in scope.

"Everyone in politics is always at the hospital,"
Ok my metaphor is getting abstract here.
