Sounds good to me?
Just make them all public all the time! That’ll show those fucking libs.
As a liberal I would be so fucking owned by this
Holy shit I agree with MTG
Harambe truly was this universe’s anchor being, and the decay is increasing exponentially
I’m kinda with you… Like, let them fight?
I think she meant this as a threat to get the party in line, but i can’t see any way this doesn’t blow up in their faces. If the leopards are eating leopard faces, will they notice mine…?
Let me stretch first. Don’t want to pull anything.
This argument reveals that she thinks both sides are playing the same game. Progressives don’t support corrupt leaders. MTG does.
Then who is supporting Nancy Pelosi?
Quip aside, let’s bring on the sunlight.
Honestly don’t know anyone that likes Pelosi.
I don’t know why anyone likes neoliberals.
She’s a model one.

I vote blue with my nose held as always for harm reduction, but neoliberals like Pelosi are why so many actual leftwing people that want a society walked away, they have no party that isnt enthusiastically part of the root problem of maintaining crony market capitalism at society’s catastrophic expense.
I guess they just want to be in charge for no other reason? Not really sure what their game is, but they’ll follow the money to get elected and then do what their donors wanted them to do. Then??? I’m not really understanding what they have to gain other than insider information.
Then???
Profit. That’s pretty much it. Why does anyone seek excess power in a capitalist society? Personal wealth gain. That insider info allows them to make their winning stock trades, and the “perks” they receive from their high offices (think private jet travel, free meals, tickets to events, etc) ensure that their expenses are kept at a minimum. Their lavish lifestyles while we struggle, and the fact that they could help resolve society’s problems yet don’t to keep the status quo, is the epitome of “fuck you, I got mine.”
I don’t really understand how it’s a lavish lifestyle if you have to hang out with a bunch of politicians and business people all the time. That sounds like pure hell to me. Like you’re going to hang out with the vice president of East Coast sales for some manufacturing company or some shit, no thanks.
Yeah but some people get off on it, like that being in the company of the rich and powerful increases their social stock (in their own insular world), and some thrive on that type of stuff.
Are you American?
I only ask because Americans are trained from birth to know (through for profit media and oligarch captured public education) that money is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and end, and the very meaning of existence and life itself as its own end.
It’s why we’re a bunch of rugged individuals competing against one another for oligarch scraps and not a society. It’s the wedge that informs all others to keep their exploited capital batteries at war with each other instead of looking up at the greedy bastards running up their ego scores by burning us.
Yeah, but I don’t really care what other people think of me, so I don’t feel the need to have to have a ton of money just to impress other people. Though having more money is always helpful just to make things easier in life. I’d be much happier if I didn’t have to worry about paying for things like healthcare and education.
Congratulations, you bucked the overwhelming norm. People who make it to Congress, with the exception of spoilers, have proven to their respective parties through state elections that they love money, don’t get bored of getting moar money, and know how to get it. That’s how you get promoted in the parties. It’s all they care about.
Because our values are so far beyond fucked it’s almost funny in an absurdist humor kind of way.
I can tell you, that i truly and honestly think that Nancy Pelosi is the greatest! She’s never wrong about anything, and I’m totally not eating my own vomit as i type this!
I like Pelosi, mostly cherry Pelosi. I’ll usually go for Coke or Dr. Pepper, but soda is soda and Pelosi is soda.
“Yeah, I’ll take a Cortez”.
“Is Pelosi okay?”.
“Ugh, have a Sanders”.
“No, all out”.
“Okay, I’ll take a Pelosi”.
Or it reveals an intention by the republicans to release a flood of bad faith ethics reports on Democrats
Magic the Gathering supports a lot of things. I don’t know if it supports this; I’ll ask.
Deal
Edit: no takebacks
You love to see someone arrive at the correct answer through ignorant spite. Wow.
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
The amount of cognitive dissonance I got from reading something MTG said that I actually agree with was nuts
Her arrival at the correct answer was done through a series of mental lapses, poor judgements and terrible ideas that plopped her exactly where she should be. Like watching an episode of Mr Magoo.
Bruh I literally just told my husband “Fuck MTG for saying something that makes me agree with MTG!” due to this story.
Ill recover if Congress actually takes her up on it though.
You leave Magic the Gathering out of this!
I feel you. I have this new super bitch of a boss, but she wore cute pants one day in September and it left me conflicted. I’m still pissed off about it.
As in the pants were cute or she was cute in them cuz it’s completely okay to like a pair of pants and not enjoy the person who’s in them.
The pants were cute. I hate her so much i can’t see anything attractive about her.
Them pants tho
How dare she!
Don’t feel that way. Take this as observing your opponent taking a misstep. This is an opening.
Did she stumble into a coherent thought?
Y’all are missing the implication of this. These comments think it’s the public she’s talking to here. She’s talking to other Congress people with skeletons in their closets.
Something something broken clock
It’s more like she’s so fucking stupid and petty that she doesn’t realize how it’ll hurt her party.
Her party elected a convicted felon, rapist, traitor, insurrectionist. Do you really think it matters?
Nevermind that the republicans won the presidency, both houses of Congress, and already have the supreme Court. It’s more like, “the fuck you gonna do about it?” If anything, they’re looking for reasons to oust any sitting democrat in which they’ll install someone loyal to their cause because let’s be real, the rules are out the window at this point.
She’s trying to extort her fellow Republicans into not releasing the report, not realizing that the public is saying, “HELL YEAH!” at the suggestion. What’s sad is it might actually work, and they won’t release anything.
I hate MTG but lately I’ve agreed with her twice:
- I want a national divorce from red states
- Release all of the ethics reports
Those who have nothing to hide, hide nothing
It’s easy to say “holy shit I agree with MTG”, but the tinfoil hat on my head is telling me she’s for it because she knows nothing will be done against her team, regardless of what is uncovered.
They don’t give a fuck about hypocrisy. So the dirt on the libs will be aired and used as an excuse to justify prosecuting them.
Tulsi Gabbard also released a statement:
I… agree… with MGT?
