I feel like they should be a lot more scared of getting shot by a bunch of crunchy purple haired anarchists or cringelord neostalinists who basically get off to giving them the wall after they push their shit too far and do our propaganda for us.
but maybe I don't have the best understanding of fear.
I never expected to see 'cringelord neostalinists' portrayed as being heroic, but here we are, and honestly, I don't hate it. I'll take communism over fascism any day.
hell, ill take bolshevism over fascism, and their whole thing was killing people like me.
That Turtle Mitch dares comment on packing the supreme court is just inconceivable
Wow, a nightmare for republicans that everyone is fairly represented. That would be so horrible, wouldn't it be?
Come on. PR should have been a state a long, long time ago at the bare minimum.
They're scared of Democrats stacking the courts? Is that what was said? He reminds me of an old timey western card game where a player is accusing everyone of cheating with cards tucked up his sleeves
McConnel is a true climber. He never thinks about how to weild power he only thinks about ways to obtain it. In his mind everyone else's is the same.
mitch mcconnel in three acts
Act I: desperado
A dastardly madman ties a damsel to the tracks. A masked hero is seen on horseback trailing a train that is rushing straight towards the tied innocent. Our hero dismounts his horse and gallantly boards the train. He fights off hoards of bad guys to get to the engine room. After fighting the conductor he runs straits to the brake lever and pulls it with all his might. In the final moments the trains comes to a screeching halt just before it cleaves the fair maid into a thousand pieces.
Act II: the dastard
A slobbernly old man stands before the city council, "if we allow such violence against innocent train workers then surely every train from here to Timbuktu will be sieged upon by ruthless bandits! This cannot be allowed, we must outlaw the masked hero!" The old man turns to face the camera and twists his dastardly mustache.
Act III: it's in the news
News paper headline; "All trains from here to timbuktu sieged."
Newpaper byline: "masked hero outlawed."
Election news: Das le Turd III elected king after amassing mysterious train cargo fortune.
Oh, he's more worried about the nightmare for the GOP. Not for the country. Imagine that - he's more worried about the potential for the power of a political party to be diminished than he is about the end of the country.
He got enough time between TIAs to rattle off a complete though, eh? Good for him, so proud.
Oh, no, many of the things he did. What a nightmare. Won't anyone consider the plight of the male, pale, and stale. Oh the humanity.
Mitch needs to go away. Retire already you old bag.
He is. That's why you rarely hear anything from him any more.
McConnell called the Walz-Harris ticket “the far left of the Democratic Party.”
😆😆😆
This motherfucker is actually older than a Galapagos tortoise. Also, when did they unpause him? I thought his OS froze and he was shuffled off to hospice.
His nightmare isn't imaginative enough. What if the Cancun Zodiak Killer loses to Allred? What if the Dems grow spines and fix the gerrymandering? What if they impeach bribe taking Supreme Court justices? What if they amend the Constitution to reverse Citizens United (hah, like any politician favors that)?
So he doesn't want DC or PR statehood, giving federal representation to millions of otherwise disenfranchised US citizens because...he thinks they'll elect Democrats. Cool.
the other downside of DC statehood is that we’d have to change the slogan on our license plates, as they currently read “taxation without representation” for this very reason. just think of how silly all the old license plates would be if all of a sudden we actually did have representation.
Just grab some sharpie and cross out the "out."
I see the necromancy is still serving him well.
Oh is he still alive?
Recently Pete Buttigieg has been saying that Trump losing would actually be a savior to the Republican party. Currently Republicans who privately abhore him choose to support him because he is their ticket to power. If he is shown to lose 2 elections in a row, he would most likely lose his grip on the GOP, and you would see more adaptability in their positions.
I heard that when the GOP lost to Obama twice. People were saying the GOP would have to change to keep up with the demographic shifts. Boy were they right 🙃
Losing one should've done it. But he replaced party leadership with his people, so that means he'll be at the top of the GOP ticket until he kicks the bucket.
I wouldn't be terribly surprised if it's Harris v. Trump (from prison) in 2028, and Walz/Ocasio-Cortez v. Trump (from deathbed) in 2032. By that time, the GOP will be well and truly cooked.
We're missing 2036 when the GOP does a Weekend at Bernie's with Trump's corpse.
Will someone inject heroin into Trump's ass?
Hopefully by that point they'll be so broke they can't even afford the heroin.
Yeah, that's accurate. Been that way for quite awhile.
This from Mr "elections have consequences" himself.
Isn't this fucker dead yet? I have a bottle of scotch waiting for this asshole's demise. Same as Betsy DeVoss and her shitty brother; and the final Koch brother...
Whoever took care of Kissinger needs to share how.
He is going to die. When I don't know. But I heard speculation that he has some kind of skin cancer and degenerative disorders (as exemplified by him just suddenly freezing and needing someone to tap his shoulder to get him to come around).
But even if he dies before I finish this comment he has already groomed his successor to take place. Despite being in alleged democracy these people have their shit done in a way that their own party will never really change.
Nah, he'll never die. You can't kill a flesh-golem directly, you have to find its master and break the summon.
Sounds Iike an amazing dream andaybe we can curb stomp the fascists ideas into the ground.
