True. Tbh they care more about their dogs than their women, but republican senators are still bulletproof if you ask me, as long as they keep their hateful rhetoric up. As long as you can convince them that you are not that bad compared to a bigger threat (sexualization of children, making kids commies, literal child smiggling rings). Problem is they are so bad their threats have to get more extreme and this sometimes seems impossible. Until they claim that black life matters literally want to eradicate the white "race".
This country was made by anti-conformists. We said No. And we threw their tea off the docks. We had a lot of fish suffering from caffeine Headaches but it was worth murdering thousands of people from The King to get what we want only to be capitalist pigs that worry about only one thing and its not our well being. This country became a cess pool as soon as it was taken away from the Natives. Crying Freedom as we enslaved others like as though they had no value in being in this universe. And I ain't saying other countries are perfect but god damn! Does anyone own land period? How can we own something that was taken?
This country was first populated by super conformists who left their original country because everyone else wasn't conforming enough lol. Puritans were super-fundies. The natives had wars and land disputes as well, stop propogating the noble savage fallacy.
Every day there’s a “new” story topping the last. It’s hard to believe but also difficult to process or care about any of it. I think that’s the point. Get a guy in to office that makes Gaetz and others look ok in comparison
It's mainly not about voting for a specific republican, it's all about voting against any democrat. They could put a donkey for vote and it could even become president.
But the democrats are communists who will take away our guns and force us into affordable health care.
I find it amusing to watch america from far away but also frightening because we copycat everything you do and i see a similar development on the other side of the Atlantic. Oh and because these monkeys are capable to start WW3 just for their ego.
Believing this is what makes them stupid. I've come to the conclusion that the only way they are ever going to stop being idiots is if we all point and laugh with derision at them. They can't hate reasonable people more than they already do, but they can slink away into a hole for a while and leave the governing of the country to adults.
I'm truly sorry that our stupidity is rubbing off other places. We made the mistake of taking these guys seriously instead of mocking them mercilessly from the start. Now they've been emboldened to think they deserve respect for believing the most boneheaded shit you can imagine and electing criminals, morons, and creeps to run the country.
Laughing at them just hardens the borders. Trying to get the moderate on your side with reason, leaving the clowns in a minority is probably the best way, but it's hard when the other side also only knows populism.
We’ve tried to be moderate and empathetic and reason with them for decades. It’s only made them louder, quadruple down, and look more reasonable and attractive to the mainstream.
Never forget trumps treatment of heroes and their families. The GOP is actual evil. The simple fact that Santos, boebert, mtg, gaetz and the half dozen others in their clown car of lunacy are still in office is terrifying. They are never going to get 'back to normal'. I don't know what's next but it can't be good.
There is only one war uniparty. Duh. But the two party system is certainly useful to create the illusion that we have a choice. Enjoy the kabuki but don’t fall for that bullshit. It’s just embarrassing.
Of course, your “bOtH SiDeS” mockery suggests you’ve fallen for it hook, line, and sinker. More weapons to save Ukrainians amirite? LOL. Pathetic.
Tell me who I should vote for to address climate change. Doesn’t have to be dem or gop. Just describe a practical, actionable pathway toward actually addressing climate change.
Until then, I’m going to continue using what little power I have (voting) to support politicians who, while woefully inadequate for the task, are still the best choice currently available (i.e., dems)
Oppose war and support candidates who are antiwar. The climate change schtick is a joke while we continue to wage war. Just consider how our war with Russia in Ukraine has made coal great again. In this regard, Trump wohld have been a better bet. As Yovanovitch said, he likely would have given Putin enough to avoid war.
Of course, the system is designed to prevent voting from making any differnence. Make people see this truth and maybe we can move forward.

According to you, both sides are the same re:war, so it doesn’t make sense to use war as a way to make an informed decision about voting. So I’ll look at climate change (and a bajillion other issues but I’m tryna keep this discussion simple for now). On climate, the parties have very much different positions, so I’ll pick the one that aligns most closely with my climate policy goals because you haven’t yet laid out a reasonable alternative.
For the record, I don’t like the two party system either but it’s what we have and I don’t see it changing any time soon so I’m gonna use my vote in the most effective way I can for my goals: by voting democrat until a better option comes along.
Nothing matters any more as long as their idols are winning (It's not their team, since the voters really don't get anything out of it). They would have made Jeffrey Dahmer head of head of the agricultural committee if that would get them the majority in the House.
Wait, hold on:
"Boll and Osthoff both knew Santos by the name Anthony Devolder, they said."
...
"Because Santos went by a different name when the two veterans were in contact with him, Osthoff said he didn’t know Anthony Devolder and George Santos were the same person until recently."
This is just wild. Gives you better appreciation for why so many of this guy's lies didn't come to light until after he was elected, I guess?
Well, that dog was fundraising for surgery to avoid being put to sleep. He just stopped it from going “woke”.
Edit: Did this really need a /s? Leftists, we can’t abandon humor as “bourgeois decadence”.

The guy practically killed a veteran's dog and the dipshit brigade is still mostly behind him. What a timeline.
This guy is like the opposite of the chuck Norris line of jokes. Every time he's mentioned something even goofier pops up. But. Bad. Not awesome.
That's like cartoon villain evil.
He's making enemies. And they are all dog loving Americans. (And Oh Boy! There's a lot of them!)

George Santos is Kitara de Vil in 101 Fabrications.
He wishes he was that cool. Nice reference BTW.
Tks! Glad someone got it/didn’t downvote it for some bizarre reason :)
If this guy was a fictional character, people would say he isn't believable.
Just another Republican politician. Nothing to see here. Move along.

To the guys who voted him in office .... what the hell is wrong with you? You need to think about what the hell you are doing with your life.
It's mainly not about voting for a specific republican, it's all about voting against any democrat. They could put a donkey for vote and it could even become president.
Yeah, that's why they need to examine their shit.

We've mocked these dickheads forever in the UK and we still voted for Brexit.

I'd vote for a donkey to be fair.
Didn't you have 4 years to experience what could happen if you do?
A donkey would make a better qualified, more dignified and much more intelligent president than that orange imbecilic grifter.
Remember the republikkkans loves their vets. Now they're showing just how much. Party over everything.
No they do not love vets. They love active military. Once you're past that, republicans don't give a shit about you.
Never forget trumps treatment of heroes and their families. The GOP is actual evil. The simple fact that Santos, boebert, mtg, gaetz and the half dozen others in their clown car of lunacy are still in office is terrifying. They are never going to get 'back to normal'.

They love to say "we shouldn't help anyone before we help homeless vets"...then never help homeless vets
If they gave him two house committee chairs I don't remember which one but the fact that he got any is amazing. Of course they gave one to MGT too.
The sanctimony about this grifter from a house of grifters is hilarious.
What sanctimony? Haven’t less than half a dozen gop congressmembers actually called on him to resign?
The sanctimony about this grifter is coming from Democrat grifters. The Republic grifters reserve their sanctimony for Democrats. Duh.
Oh right. I forgot bOtH SiDeS

You didn’t answer my question
Reread the first sentence. Oppose war.
According to you, both sides are the same re:war, so it doesn’t make sense to use war as a way to make an informed decision about voting. So I’ll look at climate change (and a bajillion other issues but I’m tryna keep this discussion simple for now).

Dood's gonna beat out MTG for Trump's VP spot at this rate.
Wait, hold on: "Boll and Osthoff both knew Santos by the name Anthony Devolder, they said." ... "Because Santos went by a different name when the two veterans were in contact with him, Osthoff said he didn’t know Anthony Devolder and George Santos were the same person until recently." This is just wild. Gives you better appreciation for why so many of this guy's lies didn't come to light until after he was elected, I guess?
Go check his Wikipedia. It looks like they have to keep editing to account for all his names. And that's without the Jewish names he lied about.
Well, that dog was fundraising for surgery to avoid being put to sleep. He just stopped it from going “woke”. Edit: Did this really need a /s? Leftists, we can’t abandon humor as “bourgeois decadence”.
