I thought the whole point of representative representation was that one person could not hinkey up the governernance of the nation, perhaps I read a differing set of documents.
No, you're correct. But when the nation let's the child molester run free (actually; makes them president, again), why in the flying fuck should they care.
I direct you to the wonderful episode of where there are enough 'sane' people to keep technology alive while the species burns itself down for some insane reason....I hate being correct, I hate being prescient, I hate human nature for it cannot be legislated.
US is beyond legislation. The law does not matter anymore. Nothing can save US but the actual patriots of America. At any cost. It will be a tough decision to make but, as a devout lover of democracy, I wish there are enough patriots who understand the position US is in. As of now, it does not seem that is the case but, as an outsider looking in, I truly hope I am wrong.
Those who abandon democracy for the sake of expediency are the enemies of democracy.
Agree. And what have we seen so many times before in autocracies and dictatorships and now, every day, in America? That without democracy; there is no guarantee that you will be able to wake up with your family from one day to the other. That is what's at stake, here. I believe it was Stephen Miller (correct me if I'm wrong) that said their "conservative revolution will be bloodless, if the left allows it to". I interpret that as, well, literally. I do not want US to have a second civil war, I want you to put an end to this asap, by any means necessary, because for every day they get to continue; is a day more of complete victory. You're not in a state of kids play, US. This is utterly serious.
The People of the United States will come to the correct decision, after exhausting all others...because it is fair.

This isn't just one person doing this. It's an entire conspiracy to turn this country in to a conservative "utopia", where those in power get richer and those that aren't get fucked.
Without a majority behind him, the speaker cannot do what he's doing. He's just taking the heat for it.
Let them all take the heat, then, and show them to the queue for the guillotine. Oh, wait, that was France and centuries ago. 🤷🏼♂️ Classic.
Johnson and other bootlicking cucks in the Confederate party keep saying Pedonald has a "mandate", so I guess that means he is a king and they just have to do whatever his "agenda" is.
Tell him to reschedule his date, then. Some things are more important.
Little Johnson wishes he could go on a mandate with Donny 2 Inches....
I wonder if that dweeb's son would get an alert on that tattle software they use...

Maybe they should remove their support from the speaker and elect someone who might do something other than hiding pedophiles
There is a secret pizza parlor in Mar-a-Lago, Q told me.
No I didn't.
Pizza! WWG1WGA
I still don't like it that news help Republicans conflate government shutdown with Congress shutdown.
The Congress' shutdown is just Johnson's doing to block Epstein Bill vote.
Normally if GOP cared about the country, Congress would be open and politicians would be working overtime trying to pass the bill.
This Congress shutdown is there to prevent that.
Absolutely. This has nothing to do with inter-party politics at all: Johnson is just protecting the pedophiles who put him and others into office.
We need to elect an Emergency Congress to deal with this shit and simply replace the current House if it refuses to do its job.
Seems insane to me that the US has no mechanism to deal with a Congress that refuses to do it's job. In other countries if they couldn't pass a budget they would be dissolved and new elections would be held. If you can't do the job that people have elected you for, you should get replaced.
Other countries saw the flaws in our system and fixed them. The US never did.
The founders didn't think anyone would be this stupid and/or figured folks would start dropping if they did do something this stupid so no system was put in place. A lot of the flaws of the US become a lot less obvious if you disregard the concept of not just shooting politicians or other wars maiming them, do you really think Johnson would be such a prick if he was at risk for being tard and feathered?

Wow, the irony here is quite something. Whole lotta dipshits voted for Pedonald because they thought that he was going to unleash "The Storm" or whatever the fuck and arrest Hillary, Obama, Podesta, etc. for Pizzagate. 
Then, dipshit gets in there and has his people completely squelch any such investigation because, duh, Pedonald is besties with the world's most notorious pedophile.
I really hate the fact that this country is filled with so many low-info morons.
slight editorial correction, Pedonald is [~~besties with~~] the world’s most notorious pedophile.
Congress’s entire job currently is to abdicate its power to the President. Johnson is a sycophant who has violated his oath of office.
I'm pretty sure the real issue here is that Epstein was a Mossad agent, or at minimum a protected informant. I think it's fairly obvious that his job was to compromise valuable people and create blackmail opportunities for .
MTG. What happened.
For some reason when the American president fucks and traffics kids any and all law enforcement just throw their hands up in the air and shrug, at all levels. And the American people elect him, again
Grand ol PEDO Party....
Damn well better not if have any intention of keeping their heads attached

I'm glad the "bombshell" is actually given, rather than some lame "I've got a secret" thing, but...
According to a report Friday from Drop Site News, Epstein had helped broker a defense agreement between the West African nation Côte d'Ivoire and Israel, a revelation uncovered from recently leaked emails of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
... That's it? Am I missing something, or is MTG blowing things out of proportion? Or is that not the bombshell?
It was Russia and Israel.
Then fucking release it. Be a patriot, save your country and get this shit over with.
With our luck they'd use the DMCA to block distribution
How has nothing leaked at this point? It's just statistically improbable after this much time.
A lot of awful people are spending an awful lot of money on political donations and bribes to keep it under wraps as much as possible. Johnson either stands to gain a ton financially by keeping Congress in recess long enough for the Epstein files to drop off the headlines, or they are using some other leverage to keep him in line like evidence of a serious crime he committed etc.
So nice to see the system of checks and balances work as designed.
Well, those filthy poors cannot have the same vote as us landowners, are you high?
are you high?
[7] and rising but I don’t see what that has to do with anything.

Good idea! Brb.
Yeah… so we keep hearing. And we’ll keep hearing.
Imagine midterms 2026 Trump is hooked up to everything in a Walter Reed hospital bed, shouting: "Mike Keep the house closed or I'll end you!"
