For realz. All it would have taken is for a small handful of Democrats to NOT vote with the MAGA group. Instead they chose to vote in lockstep with the "radicals" they claim are a "Danger to democracy".Animal wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2023 4:33 pmtrying to educate you on things you know absolutely nothing about is kind of like dragging a dead weight across a desert. its possible, but its very slow and hard work.

Re: Political cartoon and meme thread for both sides of the spectrum.
Then why did EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT cast a vote that allows for that possibility? Your entire caucus literally voted with those folks you are now demonizing.
96% of Republicans wanted to keep it the way it was.
100% of Democrats and 4% of Republicans voted to "destroy democracy".

Re: Political cartoon and meme thread for both sides of the spectrum.
they did it so they could post cartoons on facebook and point fingers at the republicans and spin it to make it look like they didn't do it. its like when they let the mobs burn and loot the cities so they could win an election. votes are all that matter.CHEEZY17 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2023 8:09 pmThen why did EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT cast a vote that allows for that possibility?

Re: Political cartoon and meme thread for both sides of the spectrum.
McCarthy handed his power away to the lunatic fringe. Then he blamed the Democrats for the mess his fringe caused. Democrats keep doing their jobs, as evidenced by the Senate and the executive. The House under the Republicans can't do their jobs, they eat their young after all. If you don't like that, blame the Republicans responsible for bargaining away their top elected role, and then alienating any bipartisanship they needed but never asked for or deserved.CHEEZY17 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2023 8:09 pm Then why did EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT cast a vote that allows for that possibility?

Re: Political cartoon and meme thread for both sides of the spectrum.
So, he's admitting that he's unwilling to work with Democrats and you're shocked that Democrats decide to remove him.
This isn't making your case of "Blame Democrats".

Truthfully, I didn't watch the video. I find myself ignoring many things you post on here as your pontificate and blather on as them being "facts" and absolute truths.Animal wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2023 8:50 pmomg. yeah, i ate up watching an actual video of an actual interview with the actual person we are talking about.saltydog wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2023 8:49 pmBeing a good Republican lapdog, you've eaten it all up like a good boy.
Admit it, your Party has some serious tumors growing and thanks to the decisions made 30 years ago by Gingrich, Hastert, Boehner, and Ryan the diagnosis is bleak.

Re: Political cartoon and meme thread for both sides of the spectrum.
it was made the day that he brought his name up for vacating the post of speaker. the only point of the video was to point out every single thought he had about why he allowed it to be voted on, why, what he thought the democrats would do, etc. its a shame you don't watch things like this because staying dumb is never the right option.saltydog wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2023 8:56 pmTruthfully, I didn't watch the video.

Speaking of actual interview with the actual person saying what we actually said he said, complete with convenient omission of critical facts and ignoring reality to try and save face in a performance for the tv.

What actually happened is the Democrats voted for the CR thus preventing the government shutdown. Maybe he'd have a leg to stand on to blame them if it was their doing in the first place that created the mess. It wasn't though, it was his and your party's.

So what would have happened if 100% of your party didnt vote for it?
