To be fair, they do have achievements. They’re just incredibly unpopular with the general public.
The got abortion banned, they brought back child labor in some states, they blocked support for Russia’s invasion of Europe, they’re blocking bipartisan legislation on immigration so they continue to campaign on it, they got America’s Credit rating dropped again, and they’re about to make it so federal regulators can’t keep food, water, and workplaces safe.
They were able to do a lot with their court appointments, local officials, and good old fashioned obstruction.
I know what you meant, but it reads as the opposite.
Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go donate towards children’s cancer.
You monster!
And to move the goal post on culture wars. Trans are the new browns, who were the new gays, who were the new blacks and women.
I'm sure I forgot a few boogiemen. Native Americans slot in there somewhere too.
It's astounding to me that my conservative friends, who were raised in the 90s and totally fine with gay people, are now falling for the "Trans are a danger to their kids" bullshit.
Yeah it's the exact same shit they did with gay people. When are people gonna drill it into their thick skulls that the GOP wants to divide people with culture war bullshit to keep us distracted while they rob us blind?
It's because those friends are stupid. It's really that simple.
You forgot to mention giving Hunter’s junk more exposure than he ever did. MTG is proud of that one.
That's cuz she wants to fuck him so bad and she knows he even high as shit his standards wouldn't go that low.
As a fan of Magic The Gathering, I really wish people would stop referring to Ms Green using her initials.
I wholeheartedly agree!
M:tG ≠ MTG
The fact that punctuation and capitalisation are necessary to distinguish the two is quite upsetting.
Would be nice if we could have a president whose offspring isn't a problematic embarrassment of a human being, though.
Would be nice if assholes considered the full scale of loss and depression that the Biden family has been through and if we could have members of Congress and the public who didn’t go on irrelevant fishing expeditions for bullshit because they’re defending an even more problematic ex-president while whining about law and order.
You're so right.
The Bidens' tender feelings should be our collective priority here. Most definitely.
Excellent job missing the point.
Thank you.
Maybe if Republicans weren't so focused on a private citizen's personal issues they would have some accomplishments to campaign on.
Who gives a shit about his offspring? What a ridiculous red herring. What’d be nice is a PRESIDENT who isn’t a problematic embarrassment of a human being, but somehow Trump’s chances aren’t even slim.
Like that hussy Alice Roosevelt smoking cigarettes and riding in cars with men! The nerve.
Seriously, why the fuck do you care what a citizen does? They are not their parent, and vice versa.
At least Biden's children went to college and got a job on their own, instead of simultaneously being given a business empire and federal public offices in the White House.
Drug addict or not, he's about as problematic as Obama's kids.
I'm glad someone is fucking paying attention to this... People seem to have no idea this is happening.
Yeah, this is going to be like the campaign finance rulings. Unlike Dobbs, it doesn’t have a harsh impact that people will instantly feel. It will go through, and American life will slowly get shittier, and people won’t be aware of the source.
It’ll be like slowly turning up the temperature on a frog in a pot.
The US House banned abortion federally in the last year? The US House is about to do away with chevron deference?
This is a Republican House member complaining that their last session has mostly been embarrassing. The highest profile thing they've done is had a hard time keeping a speaker.
And aren't court appointments a senate thing?
Popularity doesn't really matter.
They're going to get 49% of the vote at least in most races, no matter what their record is, same as Democrats. People vote for team color, not policy.
