Of course they would.

[-] spaceghoti@lemmy.one 44 points 10 months ago

It's not just that they would. They did it.

[-] ApexHunter@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

I've met more mature 7 year olds.

[-] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 30 points 10 months ago

I invite house republicans to eat shit and fuck off permanently.

[-] 5in1k@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

I’d go one further and invite all Republicans to eat shit and die.

[-] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

That’s exactly what I meant but I don’t know if the mods here are Reddit type cunts.

Isn't that sedition? Not to mention a violation of literally the first sentence of the House of Representatives oath of office.

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 18 points 10 months ago

i'm not as concerned about Democracy as i am anxious to start giving these traitors what they've been asking for

[-] spaceghoti@lemmy.one 13 points 10 months ago

I'm not eager for the killing to start.

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 10 points 10 months ago

Stupid article written by left-wingers.

[-] bitsplease@lemmy.ml 25 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Are you arguing it's inaccurate? Because it's on video

Are you arguing it's unimportant? Because even if you think the question was unimportant, the group reaction to a question they didn't like was absurdly undignified for a group of our nations leaders

Are you arguing that their reaction was appropriate? Because I fail to see how a question asking for clarification on the new house speakers involvement in an attempt to undermined a democratic election is worthy of being booed and told to "shut up"

Seriously, beyond "I don't like it" or "it makes us look bad", what exactly is your issue with the article or it's subject?

Edit: lol, looks like the pussy literally made a throwaway to post their comment. You know your political beliefs are solid when you're terrified to have them associated with you in any way lol

Typical right-winger. No capacity to understand anything that fails to conform to your twisted world view.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

The Nation is known for a left leaning bias, but that doesn't make them wrong.

Is the reaction of the politicians also written by left-wingers? All that booing and ignoring of a difficult question?

[-] kick_out_the_jams@kbin.social 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

They link FoxNews itself at one point.
There's links to various other sources throughout if you had issue with any individual part of it.

[-] Harvey656@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Yikes. What an open mind You have.

[-] Aleric@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Lol.

"I don't like what the article says so it's stupid!"

The number of supposed "adults" who peaked somewhere between 10-12 years of age always astounds me.
