- Yup, this very much. Mike Johnson can go fuck himself.
  
  MikeyJ gonna get on Grindr tonight to soothe his fee-fees and his pee-pee
  
  Based on the actions he's taken to cover up for pedophiles, he's more likely to go fuck a child.

Oh, so its actually, factually, Johnson who shut down the government.
Good to know as trivia I guess, not like right wingers are on speaking terms with reality.
- Or even going to be aware of it. This is the current top of Fox News
  
  Yeah they've run with this forever, just... strongly implying that somehow, people who aren't citizens and don't have SSNs somehow get Medicare/Medicaid.
  You can't, its fraud if you steal someone's identity to do that, and that barely ever happens compared to how often just some Byzantine morass of paperwork results in an over or underpayment for a legitimate person... and when those exceptionally rare fraud cases did get caught, off to jail for that person...
  But, brown people bad, I guess.
  I think this may be the first time they've actually tried to... point at something and prove that Dems are actually pushing for laws that would do that, but I have also lost track.
  I would say this whole line of logic has always struck me as odd... as... I am on Medicare, and ... presumably so are millions of poor Republicans... and presumably they, you know, applied, which requires an SSN...
  But then I remember I'm not a rabid racist and I can actually read, so it starts to make some sense as to how these people can be this monumentally stupid.

Did you want them to rush the podium and eat Mike Johnson alive like a pack of hyenas, then reclaim congress?
Actually I could get behind that.
- I'd actually respect them a bit if they did.
- I’m a fan of javelinas myself
  
  Personally I'm more of a Daneaxe with a claymore duckedtaped to the end kinda guy.
- Then they'd get the GOPrions
- A slow mob with spoons.
  
  Great, now I have a new fetish.

Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas):
There are more mentions of Donald Trump in the Epstein Files than there are House Republicans here in Washington D.C. today.

I loved that yesterday Vance claimed that he wanted to work with Dems on not cutting health care, and they should fund the government, then work with the GOP on healthcare.
This guy is such a liar. The GOP absolutely refused to work with the Dems during the creation of the “Big Beautiful Bill,” despite very loud calls to not cut healthcare to fund billionaire tax cuts.

Turns out that having the legislature operate via a Gentleman's Agreement that assumes good faith behavior and concentrates power in the hands of a small number of people was really bad for Freedom, Liberty, and Democracy.
- Always has been

Given the recent government, a shutdown might be an improvement.
- Try turning it off and on again
  
  Before turning it back on, plug in your flash drive to install Arch Government
  
  Then unplug it and plug it back in

But the democrats are the obstructionists?
- I mean, NPR said so.
  
  Didn't they get defunded recently?

Anything but the Epstein files… There must be some really juicy stuff in there.
- Yes. Evidence of Dump "allegedly" juicing all over some under aged girls with his BFF Epstien

Well it’s Mike Johnson. The only thing he goes hard for is Trump and little kids.
- Didn't he get caught sending scurrilous texts to dudes?
  
  There's nothing more dangerous than closeted dudes istg
- Please think of the sexy sexy children.
- Actually, I believe the guy is as camp as a row of tents, but thinks he hides it.....

He gets creepier every day. They’re gonna find bodies under his house.
- there's no way some freaky shit isn't happening with someone who has a porn pact with his son.
- bodies of young men, dudes about to have his Grindr profile and IP leaked by a tiktoker apparantly lol.
  
  So that's the reason they had to buy tiktok

They have no shame.
- Except for being on grindr. I'm sure they feel deep shame about being on grindr.
  
  Doesn’t he share his masturbatory habits with his son, in a sort of watchfulness pact or something? It’s so very weird.
  
  They’re definitely into that though.

Good! As someone who shows up ARMED AND LOADED to Drag Shows and Children's Hospitals to Protect The Children TM I'm GLAD he's shutting Down the Government BEFORE they can Release a List of RICH PEOPLE WHO RAPED CHILDREN ON EPSTEIN ISLAND!

Democrats must demand the files be released as one of their requirements. Make it so that Republicans are at fault because they were so scared of the Epstein files
- I’m ambivalent about this. It’s really not as important as everything else, but I feel like it’s the only thing that will resonate with half the country
  
  it’s the only thing that will resonate with half the country
  The best part about it is that it resonates with half the right and half the left. And the half of the left that doesn't care already knows the score and is more worried about more direct problems.

Like much of the administration, incompetence and yesmenship is what you get when you hamfistedly shove a junior statesmen into leadership.
Shit like this is why I spend time volunteering with potential candidates nationwide.
- What cracks me up is when they can't get things done and you always get this. The democrats need to bring us something good enough. Does not matter if they are majority or minority they can't figure shit by themselves.

I think it has been thoroughly and repeatedly established that this poor excuse of a withered Dollar Store twist-tie has no shame.

Isn't shutting down the federal government better?
States rights, amirite?

Can’t wait to see his grinder account

At what age do kids typically learn what a compromise is? Anyhow, half the house are below that age, the other above.
aww shit, I wish. They're doing it knowingly.

Anarchists continue to celebrate

Democratic leadership in this moment is incredibly bad.
- Oh yes, how dare they shutdown the house floors... Oh wait.
  
  A shutdown is the best case scenario for dems right now.
  
  Dems are letting us down in many ways, but we leftists also refuse to engage in electoral politics, so we shouldn't be surprised.
  
  I think the goal of some of these lemmites (lemmings, lemmors?) is to push all the moderates out of the Democratic Party so we’re left with only the truest most liberal of politicians. And from there, we will win 20 senate seats and never see the presidency again.
  If democrats aren’t alienating the majority of Americans, they aren’t the party for us!
- Literally none of the politicians or their donors are suffering because of Republican policies.
  In fact, they're all benefiting from it.
- Can you elaborate?
