What's hilarious about this is the GOP needs his vote so bad that they can't actually impeach him. And now that they are having a internal civil war with Matt Gaetz and the far right, George could literally walk around naked in the capital and not be removed 🤣 The GOP is a total joke. Literally looney toons of politics
Yeah, it's fucking hilarious watching our country unable to function and strangled by greed and corruption.
Non-Americans experiencing schadenfreude after a hundred years of American self aggrandisement.
It's not good, but it is what it is. Welcome to the U.S.A., best country in the world.
It's been that way for 100 years now. But now that the consequences are affecting not just the poor and minorities everyone is just now up in arms. Malcom X, MLK, FDR, and many other people warned us this was the only outcome to putting money and power above human rights. We made this bed, and trust me when I say this is just the beginning. Except drastic upticks in prison slave labor, corporate control over resources, and war. I personally fight those things by volunteering, voting, and advocating but I have no faith in us doing what needs to be done to save ourselves or even humanity as a whole.
Unfortunately, due to our stupid system that gives the right far too much power in relation to their numbers, the butt of the joke is the American people, since all of these assholes are holding us hostage.
The solution is voting. Vote.
it only does because they rigged it that way
We might just see our first elected official serving from prison.
You might have to clarify which republican you are talking about….since there are multiple 😶
Does it really make a difference who of them ends up behind bars? I bet if they looked closely, they would find an army of skeletons in GOPs closets.
The more the merrier!
Sort of surprised that they didn't have Gaetz in their sight line, moons ago. It was becoming pretty obvious that he was all about pulling focus and that his " outsider brand" would make him hard to work with.
It's because they needed his vote. It'll be 2024 before they pick a new speaker
