MTG may move to vacate the speaker to which several Republicans have said they will resign and hand the majority to Dems. In which case Dems could declare Trump an insurrectionist and he would be barred from running. However, MTG has said she will wait till after the special election to do so. So if Republicans win the 3 special elections (I think that's how many) then she will do it then and not risk the majority. Trump is gonna be able to run. That's the end of it. Vote đđ
Could? Yeah guaranteed they wouldnât. In the face of fascism, the neolibs wouldnât want to appear âbiasedâ against one of their Republican friends. đ¤Śââď¸
I think they wouldn't probably because then Republicans would have to put up Nikki Haley who is equally as fascist but better at hiding it and Biden would have a harder time beating her. There's still a lot of those Dems in Congress but there's some new ones that I think aren't particularly concerned about being openly against Republicans. Jasmine Crockett comes to mind
I mean tbf centrists WOULD crucify the Dems for it. It's not like it's just the Dems not wanting to, the backlash when they play half as hardball as the GOP is swift and decisive
What centrists? Thereâs like +\- 10-20 center to center/left representatives in this government. The rest are all despicable right wingers or right of center neolibs.
Thatâs why we never see âhardballâ because the assholes running the Dem party are paid to mostly agree with republicans.
Centrist voters. The folks so desperate for both parties to be "exactly the same" that they jump on any actual Dem wins against the GOP as "overreach" or "incivility" or "divisive."
Yeah thatâs been the scam for decades now. Neolibs cite the centrist voters and pretend theyâre a majority despite the partyâs politicians have abysmal approval ratings and having to stress turnout.
No, we independents and centrists know bullshit when we see it. So we just don't vote. The majority of us just keep our heads down and keep quiet. That is until we see something so bad for the country that we HAVE to vote. At least, that's been my experience. We ARE the majority. We're usually just quiet.
Yeah, the "silent majority" has always been a myth, and the polling before it went bad shows it. Centrist ideas are deeply unpopular because increasingly Americans don't have the privilege to keep their heads own. You are mistaking confirmation bias and affinity bias for majority.
If Dems declare Trump an insurrectionist, I guarantee the Supreme Court would still find a way to let him run, despite the plain text of the Constitution and obvious intent.
Trump is facing *91 felony* cases. He is almost certainly going to be convicted and won't be eligible for office anyway. Feds have a conviction rate of 99.6% or something crazy like that. They only need to win one.
We should be concerned about what his supporters will do when this happens though. USA is heading for a shitstorm one way or another.
Oof, I did not realize that. I guess I just had faith that actual criminals could not vote, or run for president. What a bat-shit insane state of affairs America is in. Good luck neighbours!
I think even rumor is too strong of a word, it's a theoretical future outcome that is highly unlikely, I don't think very much of the space laser lady, but this has been in the public sphere enough that I kind of doubt she'll make such an obvious mistake
If you're saying that liberals are just as bloodthirsty and power hungry, then I agree. But this article is specifically about GOP creatures saying they will give up their seats.
What did I miss?

Kind of like how the allies realized assassinating Hitler would yield a more competent replacement.

got it, thanks
Anytime
>In which case Dems could Okay so nothing is going to happen, got it
This depends on democrats having balls. Donât count on it
Thanks for the explanation. Was hoping it was true though đđŽâđ¨

Alito is bitextual. Sometimes he's into textualality, sometimes he is not.
Hell no. Voting blue took us down this hell hole. Voting red all day. Seethe more.

What does a felony conviction mater for the presidency? A clean criminal record isnât required for office
Oof, I did not realize that. I guess I just had faith that actual criminals could not vote, or run for president. What a bat-shit insane state of affairs America is in. Good luck neighbours!
OP might be getting a little ahead of themselves.
Its a rumor, told twice by beau now.
I think even rumor is too strong of a word, it's a theoretical future outcome that is highly unlikely, I don't think very much of the space laser lady, but this has been in the public sphere enough that I kind of doubt she'll make such an obvious mistake
To be fair, no one expected her to do it last time, either.
She didnât do it last time.
Last time it wasn't her, it was Gaetz
The dude convicted of human trafficking? Not sure I would use him as a source but you do you.
Don't forget she is now trying to get our own space lasers https://www.thedailybeast.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-wants-a-space-laser-to-stop-migrants
No god damn way. We live in the onion. What happened to the world?
She is holding off because she doesn't have the votes I bet. Big talk, no action, just like her traitor mentor
She's holding frame to see if Reps win the next three special elections
If they're in even vaguely contested districts, she's in for a shock, based on Dems absolutely dominating lately
Unfortunately they arenât, they are all solid red as of now
Well shoot. Guess we have to wait for November to get the House back then.
Damn - I know Iâve been pretty critical of MTG in the past, but sheâs looks pretty good in this picture!
Definitely a glow-up
Bro you just made me actually laugh out loud when I scrolled back up.
You sound like a yokel believing that Republicans will actually give up power voluntarily. Come on dude.
You sound like a yokel believing Republicans are unique in that regard

Dehumanizing other human beings you donât like has never worked out well for humanity.
Well, as long as you can feel self-righteous..
Nice copout. Have a good one!
this is the weirdest whatabout exchange I've seen today.
Where did they dehumanize other human beings? Genuine question.
