Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Very bad news if he wins. He will be much worse than McCarthy. This is what I’ve been afraid of this whole time.

The campaign attack ads will be glorious:

Jim Jorden allowed students under his watch be sexually molested. This is who [ insert Vulnerable Republican] picked to be the Speaker.

Does this sound like the party of law and order to you?

paid for by Fuck the Republicans 2024

Approval ratings go up

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I wish. The democrats are too polite for that kind of campaign.

Maybe, but the Lincoln Project might take a crack at it.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

To be fair. Their 3 candidates were a seditious traitor, pedophile enabler, and a neo Nazi. Were fucked regardless who wins.

Sad thing is when McCarthy was removed I said the next will be worse and I was ridiculed.

Well here’s what’s worse

If he wins, it puts a far right sexual predator second in the line of succession after VP Harris. I hope they increase security on Biden and Harris and make sure the two of them are never in the same place at the same time

They're not sending their best

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

You know what scares me more…?

What if… they are sending their best?

[–] girlfreddy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

The only good thing coming of this would be him loosening the dress code.
