Two votes. No Speaker.

[LV426]

As it is, SCOTUS rules on the laws, they don't make laws.

Ah, but they DO make laws. They just did so about 8 months ago.

 

[LV426]

You obviously only see and hear what you want to see and hear, LV. That's an indication of stupidity and/or mental defect. I believe you have an average IQ and probably some college education.

What is the Centrist platform? Like, what are the policies Centrists propose? Name one.

 

[evince]

OK a few things:

1. Democrats had unified control of Congress and the WH from 2021-2023, are you saying what they did when they were in control was corrupt? If so, how?

2. I don't know what you mean by "too powerful"; if you have unified control of the WH and Congress, you have unified control because that's what the people wanted. So you want to ignore the will of the people?

3. For at least the last 23 years, whenever there has been divided government, there has only been dysfunction and government has been unable to rise to the occasion to deal with crises that emerge...like COVID.

4. It's not a one party system so long as the Judicial Branch is occupied by right wing partisans, starting with SCOTUS; so there isn't a one-party dominant system and you're stupid for being afraid of one.

5. What even is the platform of Centrism beyond feel-good platitudes and smelling your own farts? When Andrew Yang was asked that question, he completely fucking choked. Centrism is the ultimate of political laziness because Centrists don't actually HAVE a platform...all they have is a misguided desire to meet in the middle with people who want to kill LGBTQ youth.

Dutch is being an asshole


You are obviously a smart and honest poster who loves the facts

 

[Dutch Uncle]

Really? How so? By leveraging the power given to them by the voters to reform the court?

Again, why do you want to ignore the will of the people?

If the people voted for unified control of government, shouldn't that be honored?

Okay, LV. You win. The Democrats are powerless to change anything. Happy now? LOL

Ah, but they DO make laws. They just did so about 8 months ago.

No, they don't, LV. They ruled a law was unconstitutional. It's up to Congress to write a Constitutional law.

What is the Centrist platform? Like, what are the policies Centrists propose? Name one.

Wow, LV. You think there is a "Centrist" party? That explains a lot about you. Sorry, dear, but there isn't a Centrist party and, therefore, no Centrist platform.

 

[LV426]

You're free to lie. All extremists do it. The RWers call Lefties socialists and marxists.

I'm not lying about anything.

The GOP is so full of Nazis that they nominate them to run as Republicans. Like this one, that was only 4 years ago:

Neo-Nazi Arthur Jones wins Republican nomination for Illinois congressional seat
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/21/neo...ination-for-illinois-congressional-seat-.html

And I am a democratic socialist, so I don't see how that's an insult or a bad thing.

I think most people would want to associate with someone who wants universal health care instead of associating with someone who thinks Hitler had some good ideas.

You're confusing brass tacks with being an asshole, evince.

 

[LV426]

Okay, LV. You win. The Democrats are powerless to change anything.

Stop.

Fact is that you said something incredibly fucking stupid, I pointed out how stupid it was, and instead of defending yourself, you impotently vomit this garbage.

Disappointing.

You could have just not responded and saved everyone the annoyance.

Soooo now they are not all Nazis, just a few? LOL

What was it that I said that was stupid, LV? Please quote my statement that you believe was stupid.

LV is awesome

Stop being a dick

 

[LV426]

No, they don't, LV. They ruled a law was unconstitutional.

Right, they made a law by getting rid of that one.

That is how checks and balances presently work in this system.

SCOTUS has decided to be partisan because the elections keep favoring Democrats.

 

[LV426]

Wow, LV. You think there is a "Centrist" party? That explains a lot about you. Sorry, dear, but there isn't a Centrist party and, therefore, no Centrist platform.

Which is what I've been saying...Centrism is devoid of policy and platform, it is purely reactionary politics.

The equivalent is farting in your hand and then smelling that fart right away and going "mmmmmm...yum yum yum."

 

[LV426]

Soooo now they are not all Nazis, just a few? LOL

It takes a Nazi to nominate a Nazi.

 

[Jarod]

Another failed vote for the Repuks.


Maybe they will beg Nancy to come back...

 

[LV426]

What was it that I said that was stupid, LV?

That folks should vote for Nazis because Democratic unified control of the WH and Congress could lead to corruption, even though it didn't for the last two years.

So you made a promise that "absolute power corrupts absolutely", but then for some reason you ignored the fact that Democrats had unified control for the last two years and didn't produce the "harmful" things you said would happen.

Is that clear enough?

 

[evince]

Every time the Republican Party gets outed for their crimes


Fools try to force people to blame the Democrats equally for the Republican party’s crimes


We don’t accept that lie

 

[Nordberg]

Mccarthy moved into the speaker's office too. He gave the ethics rules away so Repubs can go unimpeded by them. He thought that was enough. Trump has created a 3rd party.

 

[BidenPresident]

I'm so glad McCarthy's getting humiliated after his bowing down to twump after the j6 attack.

Indeed.

 

[Althea]

It's on again today.

Do you think they'll break the record of 9 votes?

I haven't been watching, but I'm seeing a Dem. long term rep. considering a discussion.

I'm sure you're right about the idiot eventually winning, but the embarrassment is fun to watch.

I'm seeing his backers denounce the 10% of Republicans who are gumming up the works. One NY female rep. was lying her ass off on t.v. last night about how successful Republicans were in retaking the House, when the truth is incompetent NY Dems are responsible in toto.

 

[Althea]

The problem is if McCarthy wins, he is indebted to all the troglodytes and Nazis who supported him, he isn't indebted to the Democrats and can simply go back on his word if there's any kind of power sharing agreement.

Once he becomes speaker, he can throw that agreement out at any time.

This is the Nazis' problem to solve, Democrats shouldn't do a damn thing.

Of that, there is absolutely no question

Just as McConnell would have ended the filibuster had Republicans taken the Senate
