Maybe this is a sarcastic suggestion that won't see any progress beyond showmanship. There is no low too low for the Republican party, but i wonder if there is integer underflow for situations like this.

Let all Ethics Reports be released? Then how about:

Forgive student debts to own the libs?

Shutdown fossil fuel extraction because they power space lasers?

Get rid of the lotteries and stupid stuff, end illegal immigration by making all immigration de facto legal?

I have zero idea why everyone expects shit to go smoothly after it took what, like 19 votes to get a House Speaker? It might have been even more.

Everyone just expects this gaggle of sycophants and psychopaths to agree on shit?

If someone gets anything, the rest are going to sabotage them so they get replaced. So even if they all want to do something, they all want the credit and will prevent the person next to them from doing it.

Crabs in a bucket.

Even the stupidest person on earth gets one right every once in a while.

Fuck did I die? Why is MTG right?

Did she stumble into a coherent thought?

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 14 points 7 hours ago

lets just start with demanding that all the incoming nominees and appointees, and donvict (and family) and couch lover, put all their assets and holdings into blind trusts.

I... agree... with MTG?

The pigs are fighting for their position at the feeding trough

[–] uberdroog@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

She is just as gross and opportunist. They will find the one example that isn't one of theirs and use it for the next 20 years. I'm all for it just never trust the snake.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 hours ago

GOP will see to it that she'll be shutting the fuck up about this and never speaking of it again by tomorrow

[–] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 10 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Sure, Marge, let's do it. Now show us how many rubles you've got.

[–] Makhno@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if MTG has no relation to Russia and is just a shithead for the hell of shit

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 5 points 6 hours ago

She's definitely too stupid to willingly be an agent. She's just simply dumb as rocks.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 7 points 6 hours ago

Fucking do it. Release them all.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

Do it pussy

[–] Sabin10@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

She believes both sides are equally corrupt and thinks this will prove it. She'd be wrong then something something deepstate.

MTG: "Isn't everyone in congress raping children?"

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

I hate MTG but lately I've agreed with her twice:

  • I want a national divorce from red states
  • Release all of the ethics reports
[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

It’s easy to say “holy shit I agree with MTG”, but the tinfoil hat on my head is telling me she’s for it because she knows nothing will be done against her team, regardless of what is uncovered.

They don’t give a fuck about hypocrisy. So the dirt on the libs will be aired and used as an excuse to justify prosecuting them.

[–] barkingspiders@infosec.pub 4 points 6 hours ago

Never thought we'd agree on anything

[–] donescobar@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

How about hell yes?

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

The sad thing is, this will never happen. We’re in the throw-away timeline where all the bad stuff happens.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 5 points 6 hours ago

Ok.

Let's start with Gaetz.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

He went on to address the allegations against him, saying he deems them "worth less than nothing." "Under our laws, a man is considered innocent until proven guilty. If AG Garland (an unprincipled D-bag) could have secured a conviction against Gaetz, he would have, but he knew he could not. Case closed," Musk added.

This probably a biggest eason why Garland was the absolute stupidest choice for AG Biden could have made.

Obama nominated him for SC, because he knew no one would get a hearing, it literally didn't matter.

Obama didn't really want Garland on the SC, because it would be a wasted appointment compared to what Republicans seat in the bench.

But Biden's old ass didn't understand what was happening. So he actually appointed Garland as AG, and seemed to honestly have expected Garland to do anything.

And trump supporters never know what's happening, they knew the name from before Trump took office as Obama's SC pick. Assumed that meant Garland was hyper partisan, ignored everything he did say, and when no one was held accountable, used it as "proof" that there was no evidence

The only people that was ever happy with Garland as AG, was Garland and neo liberals who also rarely understand what's happening.

Tats like pointing a gun at your own head and ... at your own head.

[–] superterran@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Honestly if they have dirt on any of the current generation on either side now would be a good time to nuke them all from orbit. Plenty of time for the next generation to form before 2028

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

Fucking do it.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago
