The amount of cognitive dissonance I got from reading something MTG said that I actually agree with was nuts

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.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

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.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Her party elected a convicted felon, rapist, traitor, insurrectionist. Do you really think it matters?

Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.

"Scorned" in this context is equivalent to our contemporary "betrayed".

She's been passed over for reward by Trump.

Does anyone remember back when President Bill Clinton was in office ? FOIA was an amazing moment in American politics.

Now the judges, presidents, congresscritters, and cops just say, "Nah it is too dangerous for citizens to see the government's work."

What is that ? What the fuck is that ?

[–] [email protected] 52 points 15 hours ago

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.

For once, I agree with this demon.

Tulsi Gabbard also released a statement:

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 12 hours ago

Wow, I actually agree with MTG on an issue, this is a first.

I mean if Putin knows their secrets, shouldn't the American people?

makes popcorn

What? Can't a man just make popcorn without it IMMEDIATELY being assumed to be a statement reflecting the imminent surge of corrupt behavior all coming to light across the entire GOP side due to MTG's own suggestion?

Are you saying I'm only making popcorn because I will treat this as an entertaining movie watching the cockroaches skuttle?

..........I mean, you're right, but daaaaamn. Why you gotta out me like that?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe this is a sarcastic suggestion that won't see any progress beyond showmanship. There is no low too low for the Republican party, but i wonder if there is integer underflow for situations like this.

Let all Ethics Reports be released? Then how about:

Forgive student debts to own the libs?

Shutdown fossil fuel extraction because they power space lasers?

Get rid of the lotteries and stupid stuff, end illegal immigration by making all immigration de facto legal?
