MODERATORS
For once I agree with this ghoul.
I don't think this is as stupid as it sounds. With some exceptions Democratic voters tend to punish their representatives for corruption, but republican voters never do
Wow, I actually agree with MTG on an issue, this is a first.
For once, I agree with this demon.
Yes
Don't stop at Republicans! Do Democrats and Independents, and every other party who have and are serving!
Sounds good to me?
I don't care if they are Republican or Democrat. If they are criminals, they should go to jail. Release the Epstein files and send Bill and Trump to jail.
Thus is the difference between MAGA/republicans and everyone else
Thats the thing I don't think they get.
"Ok, well our guy will go to jail, but so will yours!!!"
"That's fine."
"But then we BOTH lose!"
"This isn't a MAD doctrine situation. This is supposed to be more like a scorched earth situation. No corruption left behind."
And I don't think they grasp that.
Just make them all public all the time! That'll show those fucking libs.
As a liberal I would be so fucking owned by this
Holy shit I agree with MTG
Harambe truly was this universe's anchor being, and the decay is increasing exponentially
I'm kinda with you... Like, let them fight?
I think she meant this as a threat to get the party in line, but i can't see any way this doesn't blow up in their faces. If the leopards are eating leopard faces, will they notice mine..?
It's so weird to see an MTG post and... yeah... I'm over here like: LFG.
Let me stretch first. Don't want to pull anything.
This argument reveals that she thinks both sides are playing the same game. Progressives don't support corrupt leaders. MTG does.
Then who is supporting Nancy Pelosi?
Quip aside, let's bring on the sunlight.
Honestly don't know anyone that likes Pelosi.
Ugh... I don't really want to be that guy, but she was well liked when she was first in office. In fact, I dare say she was cool once when she advocated for more AIDS support in the late 80s and pissed off Reagan, which is always good. But that was around when I was born, haha.
Unfortunately House seats rarely see competition, and I'm certain she grew complacent with age. Almost 40 fucking years, oof.
I don't know why anyone likes neoliberals.
She's a model one.

I vote blue with my nose held as always for harm reduction, but neoliberals like Pelosi are why so many actual leftwing people that want a society walked away, they have no party that isnt enthusiastically part of the root problem of maintaining crony market capitalism at society's catastrophic expense.

This is funny because an "elder statesperson" is valuable because they've been in the room for allllll the dirt, over decades. They are a walking blackmail bomb and are tolerated because they can call in "favors" when compromise is really really needed.
She has famously had an abysmal approval rate nationwide, but she gets more votes than her opponents so she gets to keep her seat.
Like Mitch McConnell, MTG, Lauren Boebert, or Matt Gaetz.
I'm convinced that at this point, people are just voting on familiarity
Absolutely. R's count on this.
In my state, they've tried running the weatherman for Senate. Not dog catcher or school board, SENATE. NATIONAL, not state.
There's a reason Dr. Oz and Herschel Walker were both running in 2022.
I can tell you, that i truly and honestly think that Nancy Pelosi is the greatest! She's never wrong about anything, and I'm totally not eating my own vomit as i type this!

Magic the Gathering supports a lot of things. I don’t know if it supports this; I’ll ask.

Deal
Edit: no takebacks
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
The amount of cognitive dissonance I got from reading something MTG said that I actually agree with was nuts
Her arrival at the correct answer was done through a series of mental lapses, poor judgements and terrible ideas that plopped her exactly where she should be. Like watching an episode of Mr Magoo.

You love to see someone arrive at the correct answer through ignorant spite. Wow.
Y'all are missing the implication of this. These comments think it's the public she's talking to here. She's talking to other Congress people with skeletons in their closets.
She's trying to extort her fellow Republicans into not releasing the report, not realizing that the public is saying, "HELL YEAH!" at the suggestion. What's sad is it might actually work, and they won't release anything.
