They have a concept of a government funding bill...

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They have a concept of a concept to a funding bill.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

I hope that haunts them until the complete end of the party. I hope that is a brief duration and that the phrase continues to haunt whatever wretched regressives slough off of the party's decaying corpse.

[–] Zeke@fedia.io 77 points 6 days ago

Vote. Not just in the presidential election, but in mid-term elections as well. If democrats don't take majority in House and Senate, republicans will continue to block progress.

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 49 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Surely even MAGA Republicans aren’t dumb enough to shut down the government a month before the election? On the day of the VP debate. It would be political suicide. Surely…

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Repubs will blame it on Dems for no reason

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

the media will be like "why didn't dems stop this!?"

[–] regdog@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago

Republicans only know how to complain and be contrarian. Even with a majority they are not able to actually govern.

[–] Marleyinoc@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

The GOP has been a clown show for so long. When are we going to vote them all out? Or at least vote out the extremists. Though it seems they've all went pretty nuts competing to lick Trump's boot.

Still think there's pretty bad secrets being held over the majority of the GOP leadership.

How are so many of them just cartoon villains?

[–] Ragnarok314159@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 days ago

And not even cool ones like Shredder or Mummra. They are all the stupid henchmen that get tricked into letting the heroes in the door with a “the boss said we could come in”

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 35 points 6 days ago

Poor little Johnson.

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 29 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They have no cooperation in their own damn party and they want the public to believe they are capable of governing.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 32 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No they don't. They want the public to believe the entire system has failed, not just them, so they will support replacing it with a dictatorship.

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Doing just what the Nazis did to the Weimar Republic.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Looking forward (/s) to the massive spin campaign about how the GOP shutting down the government because Trump is upset is somehow the fault of the Democrats.

[–] Laborer3652@reddthat.com 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If the DEMONCRATS are soooooo good, why didn't they stop GOOD, GOD FEARING REPUBLICANS from KILLING their own bill HUH????????????????

CHECMATE AETHEIESTSTS.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 days ago

This is disturbingly accurate.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Tiny Johnson cucked, news at 11.

[–] Kalkaline@leminal.space 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No kink shaming, unless that's your kink.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 5 days ago

Yes, correct me again, daddy... Punish me!!!

L+ratio bozo

I know it's off topic, but Mike Johnson looks like he wears a little bit of makeup and old grandmother's glasses doesn't he?

He always looks like this, the rosy red cheeks and the same glasses always. Tell me I'm wrong.

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

His cheeks are always red because he’s always thinking about porn and blushing.

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Which is probably why his phone is monitored by his kid(s) for such things.

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I’m convinced he wears a corset underneath that suit.

[–] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

How's that new job buddy?

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Can we please just skip this section of the news cycle? We know what's going to happen

I'd say "based" but he'll just have everyone sign the same dang bill after the government's been shut down for a week.

This dude hasn't delivered on a single promise he made to get this position.

[–] chemicalprophet@lemm.ee -2 points 4 days ago

Red or blue maga? I’ve lost too much give-a-fuck to care…
