By that logic there would be no nazis to begin with.

So you start with the basic idea that people in power exert political power to control who receives money, and you look at how this is used to ensure that some cultures/regions/immutables receive less money, and you look at how the shortage of money leads to poor-young-angry men, and the result will always be something like "nazis" or "hamas".

It all gets back to these people and their families not having political representation within the political networks, and it all starts with leaders who failed to represent the entire constituency, within whatever form of government those leaders represent.

That's like saying that if everyone with the flu stays home and isolates, there'd be no flu. There'll always be carriers, people who don't give a shit and sociopaths looking to prey on people's fears.

And of course you need to deal with the poverty and lack of oppurtunity that helps them get their hooks in. But we should be doing that anyway..

In the virus analogy for dangerous ideas, that's the 'sanitation/infrastuctural' aspect that reduces occurances. But too late for those who already have the disease. Treatment can be offered to those who seek it, but for those who insist on coughing in everyone's faces there's only quarantine left.

The House has a new Speaker! Welcome to the era of (R)Mike Johnson!

[Bumber]

But he's not an active nazi anymore, plus he's famous for being the most righteously punchable face ever getting punched!

Peak Nazi denialism here.

You accuse anyone you want of being a fascist, then deny that the actual white supremacist is a still Nazi once they've been punched. All for the sake of self-righteous violence.

[nenjin]

I'd rate that bait as not that great m8.

they finally decided which monstrous nut case they actually like?

May it be short and miserable, ha.

For those unware, despite being pretty worthless on a lot of fronts, this particular dipshit was one of the major congressional jackasses pushing the Big Lie, stolen election horseshit. So, y'know. Less integrity than a wet paper towel, made a career of turbolying even relative to less insane politicians, far-right nutjob in regards to policy, etc. Somehow even worse than your normal GOP sack of shit. Remarkably likely to drive us right into a shutdown in a few weeks, and so on.

It seems to be more a combination of getting tired of the voting process (let no one claim GOP congresscritters have any work ethic worth a damn, ha) and at least not personally hating the shitsack like they did the guy that ostrich'd in response to finding out about rape cases in his proverbial chain of command. There's not much indication they actually like this guy, just... dislike less. Definitely a monstrous nutcase, tho', but that's all that's really left of the GOP roster so there's not much surprise on that front.

I'm halfway disappointed that Johnson hasn't already been removed.

Also: Bumber... wat? He's not heading up rallies, he's issued vague confusing statements which cast doubt on his commitment to the cause of shittiness, that suggests to me the problem here isn't the first punch, it's the lack of a second.

For the record: I've NEVER accused someone of being a fascist without them being openly fascist, or goosestepping around with tiki torches a year later.

I don't just "call anyone I want a fascist" you dweeb, I accept that when someone says "hitler ruled, I'm a nazi, let's start killing jewish people" that they are being serious.

You can have all sorts of terrible opinions and I'm still fine with you: thinking anchovies and pineapple should go together on pizza, thinking dudes should wear skinny jeans and be clean shaven all the time, thinking early 2000's rap-rock was the peak of music, even being somewhat conservative doesn't necessarily disgust me so long as we're talking Hank Hill conservative, not magaturd modern conservative.

I'm gonna disagree with you, I may not like spending time with you, but I'm definitely not going to be cool with you getting beat up randomly because you're not a fucking fascist fucker.

On the other hand, you could tell me you love green pepper and pepperoni pizza, mountain goats, straight leg or bootcut jeans and beards, and favor enacting numerous anti-capitalist policies but once you start praising fascists or blaming jews or whatever other racist bogeyman for whatever bullshit I'm done with your bitch ass, because I won't peacefully tolerate a fucking nazi being around me.

[MrRoboto75]

Removing their Johnson would be a little hypocritical wouldn't it?

[anewaname]

That quip needs to get into the comedy news media.

They have a hard deadline - the temporary funding bill was only for 45 days, and even the (deluded) people who think shutting down the government on purpose would help them next year know that having it happen by default because the GOP is in chaos will be disastrous. They can't afford to lose any seats at all in 2024 because their majority is razor thin, and they know full well that there's several specific seats that went R last year by sheer fluke and can't be counted on.

But at least McCarthy's gone. Good thing dems were smart enough to get rid of him when they had the chance.

Is Johnson even subject to the deal that allowed McCarthy to be removed so easily? Could be a long tenure.

The frequency of which you use the word strains that credibility quite a bit. Seems you use it more often than you use your catchphrase "bitchbaby" (or its derivatives.)

[hector13]

Should be, that was a procedural thing. Hopefully he stays on everyone’s good side, he only needs what, four, five Republicans to want him out badly enough?

Dems didn’t get rid of McCarthy though bro, if they brought the motion to vacate forward there’s no chance Gaetz’ crew votes for it.
