Pretty hopeful news actually.
MTG is among the most seemingly dedicated to being a horrible, bigoted piece of shit, and yet even she is recognizing that a platform of being a horrible, bigoted piece of shit is no longer serving her.
Fuck her forever. But I’ll take this specific brand of opportunism as a positive sign.
No it is happening because it is close to the election. Would be fucking wild to yet again convincingly prove they are incapable of governance while just weeks away. Even this hollering gibbon can see that. Any other time she would be doing the usual racist MAGA bullshit and refusing to cooperate.
Ill be honest, ill take it. But im so confused right now… is this how progress is supposed to happen? Its been so long. I didnt draw the line, they did, and still here we are. At something reasonable?
Still. I must reiterate, fuck mtg, but… support her this time? Fuck.
Now is the time Dems must insist on border security bill and negating presidential immunity as a must for passing the budget
Something smells fucky. She’s in a gerrymandered district so re-election isn’t a concerned. Presumably Trump is in too much of a froth to realize this might be a political mistake and would love the theatrically of it. It will fire up the base and keep immigration central in the election discourse.
I don’t quite get it. But my speculation is that this is an early volley and positioning to try to get rid of Johnson soon by 1) calling him out and making him look weak, 2) forcing him to capitulate to the democrats “just like she said he would,” and 3) or he doesn’t work with the dems, and then she’s tied him more concretely to the government shutdown. Following this, I assume the crazy crew will start undermining him in the media, and then they’ll eventually vote to try to get him removed and install one of the crazy crew.
She is absolutely too rabid to be doing this for civic-minded reasons, so something has to be going on.
Gerrymandered districts are more in danger not less. Gerrymandering is about spreading out areas which are easy wins, and instead spreading those votes over multiple districts.
You gain more seats, but you make every race closer.
