Don’t threaten me with a good time.
Lmao. This was my first thought.
Yeah, they say that like it's a bad thing?
“And aren’t we team Republican?
And therein lies the problem with modern politics. They think everything is just team sports. It's a game to them.
They've completely lost touch with the fact that they are there to serve the public, not the other way around.
Ronna McDaniel said the quiet part out loud on NBC
“Her choice and her decision was, ‘I’m going to put my own views secondary to the views of the larger party,’” said David Urban, a former senior Trump campaign adviser who has his own contributor contract at CNN. “I’ve seen people that say, ‘Oh, your job is to represent America, not represent your party. That’s not necessarily true. She’s in large part a spokesperson for the party and the figurehead for the party. If that’s where the party is or was at the time, then that’s that.”
They are there to serve their corporate donors while speaking to give the illusion that they care about their voters.
The system is working as intended by modern politicians. Thanks to Citizens United making corruption legal.
But they aren't there to serve the public.
Republicans believe that you elect them to do what they want not what you want.
That's the definition of a Republican.
No, you're not fucken Team Republican. You're Team The American People you fucken hag.
Enough resign to make Jeffires speaker on Oct 25th. Start running campaign ads on Oct 26th saying "The house has been so dysfunctional because democrats are in charge - vote for a change, vote to put republicans back in charge of the house!"

Democrat majority in House, Senate, and Executive? I thought xmas was supposed to happen in December. Lets see October Santa has for us on our wishlist.
Oops, sorry, Kristen Sinema says nothing gets passed. Better luck next time.
Dont be confused, they wont leverage their majorities, or they'll have nothing to promise to do to make you re elect them.
Their whole strategy is basically breaking things then chucking them at the next guy and running away shouting "you touched it last!" so yeah, that tracks.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
