   Lol, so lemme see if I understand this correctly; to pass a government spending bill, we've agreed to not restart funding for the UNRWA (and starving Palestinians) for a full year, ban LGBTQ flags at US embassies, and completely shutter the US House Office of Diversity and Inclusion?

   Man, this liberal anti-fascism stuff is amazing.

   I'm old enough to remember when Barack Obama said "go fuck yourself" and Ted Cruz almost committed career suicide while effectively ending the Tea Party caucus.

     I wonder what else we gave up to not allow Republicans to literally slit their own throats...

     Fucking terrible leadership.

     And, even with that, it's still not wingnutty enough for some, which explains why QANaziBarbie Marj dropped her privileged resolution to oust Speaker Johnson for his "betrayal" of "conservative values" in pushing the stopgap "minibus" bill.

     Funny how the Right backbenchers take risks and stands on principle and usually get wins, while our "progressive" Democrats watch from the sidelines while the "centrists" steamroll them.

     Nothing against AOC, but we need some Kshamas.

     @AnarchoNinaWrites Zionist Pro-Life Catholic Dixiecrat Joe Biden is fine without all these things. Just like he's fine that women aren't free.

     I'm just saying, there were still a bunch of tea party grade asshole wingnuts, they just went by a different name.

     @jonhendry Hey, I didn't purposely elevate the billionaire nazi that gave American fascism new life and a rallying cry because he would "easy to beat" in the 2016 election. And neither did Obama as it turns out.

     Good day to you.

     "while effectively ending the Tea Party caucus"

     If only that were meaningfully true.

     Last phrase meaning, we need some ass kickers like Kshama Sawant who will match up and smack down the lines of Taylor-Greene, Boebert, and the rest of the neo-Confederates. Tlaib and Bush can't hold it down all by themselves.
