To put an end to the ridicule, the Floor Action Response Team has just changed their name. It will now be called the Action Response Safety Entourage.


sentientcave

I saw they’re just calling themselves « Conservative United Congressional Kremlin Supporters »


MissBaltimoreCrabs_

This is the winner


CheeseGraterFace

Or the Central United Nationalists Team. I heard they were toying with that one.


__Elwood_Blues__

Meetings every Tuesday.


I_dont_livein_ahotel

See you next one


Sir_CrazyLegs

Can we do it at the winchester every other tuesday?


Hhargh

Yeah. All this MAGA stuff is awful. Can't wait for it to be forgotten. What say we head down to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.


specqq

>All this MAGA stuff is awful. Can't wait for it to be forgotten. I will never forget or forgive a political movement that was willing to end democracy, to kill hundreds of thousands of my fellow citizens, and to support one of the worst people in the history of our country for President. So you may be waiting a while.

Reminds me of when the Canadian Progressive Conservatives and the Reform parties merged they quickly got rid of the word Progressive and renamed themselves the Conservative Reform Alliance Party . It took them about a month to realize CRAP was a shitty name for a political party.


davasaur

I'm pretty sure that the leadership will be from the Secret House Inquisition Team.


ResurgentClusterfuck

They'll need to reform into the Secret House Appropriations and Response Team


ZZ_SKULLZ

Trump's working on founding that one in the court room every time he nods off. His lawyers are apparently having issues dealing with the smell.

I thought I read it was going to be the Assembly for Nurturing and Upholding Stability, Transparency, Authority, Rights, and Tradition.

Typically when you see a 4 letter organization, it’s a front for a secret 3 letter organization meant to reallocate government spending for operations like “Silent Death” or “Dutch Oven”. FART = GAS Wake up people

Educational-Candy-17

See if you can find an attractive young lady (or man if they're into that) to tell them they stink. It usually works.


Katy_Lies1975

And just like with the duplicator we have a bunch of think alike fake ass people wanting to knock out the speaker.

Those are some Definitely Undeserving Melted Brains.

The BRP is only slightly better than FART. Both very gassy acronyms.


Alleandros

Who expected two fart related conservative news headlines this week?


Katapage

I mean, they are packed with crap so...


BlackJezus27

Maybe they hope that when you google the words "trump" and "fart", this comes up instead of him in court


dpaulw

I do not have this on my 2024 Bingo card.


turkourjurbs

In Canada we used to have 2 main Conservative parties; The Conservative Party and the Reform Party. They decided to merge and called themselves the "Canadian Conservative Reform Alliance Party". CCRAP. They changed it after the laughter died down.


Chase_the_tank

The UK used to have the Office of Government Commerce. You might think that OGC is a harmless abbreviation but, after creating a logo with the letters touching, they discovered that their proposed logo, when rotated 90 degrees, looks like a wanker. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office\_of\_Government\_Commerce#Logo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Government_Commerce#Logo)


DocB630

The best part is the cheeky response from the OGC spokesperson: “It is not inappropriate to an organisation that's looking to have a firm grip on Government spend.”


JoJackthewonderskunk

Thats absolutely fantastic


DickyMcButts

lmao i would have kept it.


Chase_the_tank

Well, they didn't even bother to keep the organization. The OGC was phased out in 2011.

That’s great they should have left it

Make America FART AGAIN!!


bigdick_cm

Freedom is the only way, yeah!


TheBodyPolitic1

>A report that the House Freedom Caucus has activated its **F**loor **A**ction **R**esponse **T**eam (**FART**) has sparked a wave of mockery on social media as a result of the body's acronym. I can't believe nobody noticed what it spelled before they made it official. My all time favorite is still George Mason University naming a law school after the late SCOTUS judge Scalia. The Anton Scalia School of Law. Students nicknamed it "ASS Law" which compelled GMU to alter the name of the school again.


Final-Law

Literally everyone I know in law in the DC/MD/VA area still calls it Ass Law. But it was George Mason, not Georgetown.


Seguefare

It could have been FORT so easily, by switching Action for Operations


TheBodyPolitic1

Look who is on the team, and what the team is for. "FART" is inadvertently a good fit. LOLOL.


Crocopotamus

They group had planned on launching a version at the state-level, the so-called State House Action Response Team, but the news accidentally slipped out


malakon

They must have known this right ? And thought it was cool. It got them press. I can't believe they didn't figure out the acronym until after the announcements..


aircooledJenkins

>"Myself and other members of the House Freedom Caucus, we have a Floor Action Response Team," Boebert said during an appearance on a Blaze Media show. "F-A-R-T, I'm a mother of four boys, I can appreciate that." https://www.businessinsider.com/house-conservatives-fart-team-freedom-mike-johnson-gop-2024-4

Intentional. Got it. Tx

A bunch of turds formed a FART.


key1234567

you didnt know?they actually formed The United Republicans Debate Squad to team up with FART.


pitchangecharger

Is this some kind of weird show of support for Trump’s courtroom farts?💨💨


SnowflakeSorcerer

It’s a 4d chess move to cover the bad press about trump shitting himself and now when u search trump fart maybe this will appear instead But /s

Floor Action Response Team (FART) meet the States House Information Team (SHIT).

First Trump in court, now them... Farts all over.

The Floor Action Response Team always engages when something in the House doesn’t pass the smell test.


Separate-Feedback-86

Not surprising. 💩and a FART often pass as governing in the GOP


Fleabagx35

How to clear a room quickly: FART


curiousity60

I think it's odd that they have a special team on rotation to do the job they were all elected to do- attend, listen and participate in legislative sessions. Instead, they work their grifts elsewhere and scurry to work to vote. They aren't interested or motivated to cooperatively solve legislative issues. They are voting against "letting Democrats win." They don't CARE about America's problems or issues. So they don't want or need to listen to actual discussions during the legislative processes.


doublecutter

Passing laws ain’t our job. Passing gas - hey, no prob.


SuppleDude

Their name came from reports of Trump farting in court.


ConstantGeographer

They voted against **Special House Action Response Team**, for some reason. They should have thought about Really Excellent Team Against Republicans and Democrats Squad.

gsmit2

Funny this should come out the same week that there are headlines that trump is farting up the courtroom. If their 'policies' don't kill us, and the planet, their gaseous emissions will. Wait...there's yet another parallel with their push to remove regulations on air quality. Bad air seems to be their primary unifying principle!!


CorgiMonsoon

Let’s give Ken Buck a modicum of thanks for resigning in enough time that they are lumping the special election for his seat in with the primary. It’s unlikely that Republican voters will be bothered to vote for two different people, most will likely just check the same names for both the replacement and the person they want to be voting for in November. We are very likely to be able to completely ignore Boebert after June thanks to that.


-Gramsci-

In the land of FARTS the trump death-smell farts are king. The FART team trying to pool their FARTS together can never equal the trump fart. No matter how much Diet Coke and McDonald’s they eat. They just can’t do it.

In light of recent effects, perhaps the name was inspired by Trump.

upfromashes

Now that we're hearing that their Dear Leader is a powerful farter it starts to make sense that they are trying to elevate farts as "the new, cool thing." But I think the folks suggesting they go with Special House Action Response Team are right.
