Has someone explained to them that sometimes sacrifices have to be made in order to stop that trans girl in Minnesota from playing volleyball? They just need to see the bigger picture.

Exactly this.

"Sorry Mr. President, the policies you enacted during the triple hurricane saved thousands of lives, but the drug test you took beforehand were positive for mood stabilizers so we've invalidated your policies and everyone who was saved by them has been taken out back and shot."

This isn't the fucking Olympics. But then debates are a terrible way to judge a president to begin with.

"Sorry son, little Johnny across the street is willing to go trick or treating for only two pieces of candy per hour, so I'm taking him instead."

Corporate needs you to find the difference between this woman and TurboTax.

No, charging other people so that you can take advantage of a loophole is called Tax Preparation

At this point we've reached a complete and utter death of euphemism around anything regarding Trump.

All attempts to "bring to light" any horrible thing Trump has factually committed will be met by his followers with, "Well that's actually a good thing." And any politician trying to ride his wake will have to go along with it.

How soon until we start hearing "Look, we have to view Hitler with some nuance" from the Senate podium.

Who is this message even for? Not the workers obviously. Does it instill the investors with confidence? "Production is so poorly managed and staffed that we have to rely on people working overtime." Does it increase demand? "Come buy these vehicles assembled by overworked, sleep-deprived line workers, hope it works out if you get in an wreck!" It's entirely for his own ego.

It's really too bad Kroger discontinued "The Fizzicist".

Just before the vote was about to begin, Rep. Max Miller of Ohio, one of Santos' Republican colleagues, sent an email to the full Republican conference, writing that he and his mother were victims of credit card fraud tied to Santos' campaign and that he would be voting to remove Santos.

"Neither my Mother nor I approved these charges or were aware of them," Miller wrote in the email obtained by NPR. "We have spent tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees in the resulting follow up."

It's literally because it was starting to affect them personally.

I'm surprised Dems decided to join in ousting him instead of voting present and letting him stay. But I guess watching GOP flail in another month-long speaker election can only help contrast them.

This stopgap bill would absolutely have enough votes to pass in the House and the only reason McCarthy won't bring it to a vote is because the hard liners would motion to vacate the speakership. So the US will be plunged into chaos all because one guy doesn't want to lose his title. Cool democracy.

A political party is a collection and assemblage of individuals who share a set of beliefs and principles and policy views about the United States of America.

Remember when the Republican party simply didn't put out a party platform running up to the 2020 election? They released a one page document that just said "We stand for whatever Donald Trump wants." That was weird, huh?
