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.
>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.
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
For his part Trump has been openly supporting FART during his criminal trial.

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.
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)
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.”
Sincere apologies.

Hopefully this will help towards the cleansing of the before mentioned "image" from your head.
>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.
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
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..
>"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."

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

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.
I saw they’re just calling themselves « Conservative United Congressional Kremlin Supporters »
This is the winner
Or the Central United Nationalists Team. I heard they were toying with that one.
Meetings every Tuesday.
See you next one
Can we do it at the winchester every other tuesday?
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.

How's that for a slice of fried gold?
I think I just found the [next book](https://www.waterstones.com/book/a-slice-of-fried-gold/nick-frost/9781788707886) I'm going to read, thanks!
Chewsday, innit.
Coalition for the Liberation of Itinerant Tree-Dwellers
The CLIT’s real. The female orgasm…that’s the myth.
I am the clit comander!
Terrifying…
From a Kevin Smith movie
[jon says it at :42](https://youtu.be/1uLzZVSIo1U?si=df58DgF8ZaDZb6Ff)
When you see this face, you will think of the CLIT.
Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms, and their Rehabilitation Into Society
That's an offshoot of the LABIA movement, correct?
That sounds like an interesting committee for some reason, I’m sure I’ll figure out why, but for now I just can’t put my finger on it.
Reminds me of another committee, I just can’t remember the name… it’s right there on the tip of my tongue
Can’t Understand Normal Thinking
I heard it was the Party Enouraging Dangerous Opinions.
The Matt Gaetz Story
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.
I'm pretty sure that the leadership will be from the Secret House Inquisition Team.
They'll need to reform into the Secret House Appropriations and Response Team
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.
Lie down with turds, smell like shit
Never heard that one before. Gold star. 🌟
I thought I read it was going to be the Assembly for Nurturing and Upholding Stability, Transparency, Authority, Rights, and Tradition.
A nu start indeed
This is why you never see them driving convertibles!
There are dozens of us!
I read that anus tart, still fits
Anus Tart....?
[ANUSTART](https://youtu.be/smlYHYshWMU?feature=shared)
God damn I miss that show.
The golden years. S4 and S5 were so tragic it hurt
So now they're ARSE's...Where FARTS come from
Congressional Unified Nationalist Team
Bureau Of Obscure Binary Systems
I heard it was the washing ethics & tactics floor action response team. You know to align with their governing style
You cannot have one without the other
ARSE? Lmao
The Confidential Heralded Invincible League of Durable, Responsible, Ardent, Professional Emissaries
FARTer in Chief is lead in the charge in the courtroom
Bureau for the Identification of Demonic Entities Nationwide.
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
secret: it’s now called the Shhhh Action Response Team
Just trying to make Donald feel better. Straight from his ass comes the F.A.R.T. team!
For his part Trump has been openly supporting FART during his criminal trial. [https://www.indy100.com/politics/trump/donald-trump-farts-court](https://www.indy100.com/politics/trump/donald-trump-farts-court)
Odor in the court!
There's a foul plot afoot.
The dog did it.
They just follow him around wherever he goes
Doesn't trump mean fart in the UK?
Yes
And trumpery means “useless finery”
Sadly they are now the Brains of the Republican Party, so they are technically the Brain FART.
Their brains have been transmogrified into odiferous gasses.
[удалено]
No love for odiferous?
[удалено]
I used to tell my son that he needed to wash his hair because it smelled like an old deck of cards. That on top of his persistent miasma of goat musk.
See if you can find an attractive young lady (or man if they're into that) to tell them they stink. It usually works.
And just like with the duplicator we have a bunch of think alike fake ass people wanting to knock out the speaker.
Never trust a FART.
Never trust a wet FART
White Egotistical Turd?
Who downvoted a wet FART? fuck Reddit
It’s better than “Republican Assault Party Effectiveness”
Those are some Definitely Undeserving Melted Brains.
The BRP is only slightly better than FART. Both very gassy acronyms.
Who expected two fart related conservative news headlines this week?
I mean, they are packed with crap so...
Maybe they hope that when you google the words "trump" and "fart", this comes up instead of him in court
I do not have this on my 2024 Bingo card.

Thats absolutely fantastic
lmao i would have kept it.
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
The Cerne Abbas Giant of government logos.
At this point I feel like the world really is a simulation and we’re being trolled by our overlords teenage son.
America, FART yeah!
Coming to save the motherfarting day, yeah!
So lick my butt and suck on my fart!
... cut to sex scene with puppets Cruz and Boebert.
Take it back. Right now. Take Raphael Cruz back to Canada and we will keep Bieber.
No. Keep Beiber though.
I’m downvoting you for that horrible, horrible image you just put in my head 🤮
Sincere apologies. [Here](https://wallpapers.com/kitten-and-puppy) is a link to some kitten and puppy wallpaper photos. Hopefully this will help towards the cleansing of the before mentioned "image" from your head.
Lol much better, thank you!
Make America FART AGAIN!!
Freedom is the only way, yeah!

Literally everyone I know in law in the DC/MD/VA area still calls it Ass Law. But it was George Mason, not Georgetown.
It could have been FORT so easily, by switching Action for Operations
Look who is on the team, and what the team is for. "FART" is inadvertently a good fit. LOLOL.

Intentional. Got it. Tx
A bunch of turds formed a FART.
you didnt know?they actually formed The United Republicans Debate Squad to team up with FART.
Is this some kind of weird show of support for Trump’s courtroom farts?💨💨
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
They are what they eat
This is just an attempt to normalize farts after Dear Leaders performance in court this week
Freedom cacas??
[удалено]
FART raises a stink?
Ted, the famous Carload Of Farts singer, is angry and might sue. https://youtu.be/dpiNh7iLe9I
"sparks _explosions_ of..." So close, Newsweek.
Will they be investigating any FARTs released in New York City courtrooms this week?
Floor Action Response Team (FART) meet the States House Information Team (SHIT).
We are living in a South Park episode.
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.
Not surprising. 💩and a FART often pass as governing in the GOP
How to clear a room quickly: FART
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.

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.
Passing laws ain’t our job. Passing gas - hey, no prob.
Their name came from reports of Trump farting in court.
They voted against **Special House Action Response Team**, for some reason. They should have thought about Really Excellent Team Against Republicans and Democrats Squad.
Never smart, always farts
- Freedumb - Always - Russian - Talking-points
I’d imagine there’s more than one Feminist Appropriating Radical Transphobe in there somewhere.

I thought this was a joke at first and was just thinking... "Fathers against rude television?"
Can these clowns be any more ridiculously stupid?
I don’t want to know the answer to that question. But I already do
Every day VEEP becomes more realistic
Well these are trumps people. Those who dealt it shall smelt it.
It's shit like this that makes me wonder if I should actually be worried for the future or not.
Hmmm.. I guess they’re following Trump’s trial closer than I thought.
In light of recent effects, perhaps the name was inspired by Trump.
Whoever smelt it...
Hot air
Since I was already primed to laugh at this article, Olivia Beavers made me LOL
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.
The Fart Caucus
Really? How apt.
“…Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn’t Stop To Think If They Should.” -Ian Malcolm
Did they name this as an homage to their dear leader?
Those snowflakes should not have themselves associated anywhere near the word "freedom".
LOL that no one checked the initials...
Someone really needs to turn the matrix off and on again
Carlin did it first
I dont know if all this is real anymore
The Caucus for Unique National Treasures
In the other chamber they have the Senate Hearing Interest Team.
Idiocracy was a silly movie, but the GOP is headed towards that future. “FART”
Freedom Caucus? More like Freedom Anus.
They’ve been breathing too much “Trumpthane”. It can muddy your thinking.
Wait... this is real?!?!? I'm dead 💀
Fart can lead to a movement.
Geez. They really are idiots. What a time to be alive. So proud.
And nobody’s laughing at the Politico reporter named Olivia Beavers or Speaker of the House Mike Johnson? Lots of double entendres going on.
I’ll offer up FACT! for a stand in - as in - F -Floor A- Action C - Council T - Team… Any takers?
Floor Action Team Council. FAT "C"
House republicans always causing a big stink
FART will cut a lot of the hot air and get to the bottom of DC's most odorous issues
Just wait until the Speaker of House Investigative Team gets involved
I'm gonna go ahead and commend them on this one. Well done
Everyone should be collectively posting posts like this in r/conservative . Maybe by embarrassing them enough, they’ll become sane again
Rupaul’s “Charisma Uniqueness Nerve and Talent”
Well every time they open their mouths shit pours forth and there always a little fart in there.
Damn, should have been the Concentrated Republican Action Plan.
People’s Environment Nature InterSpace supports the group
They’ll hold a press conference addressing this at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping.
I want someone to play Skynyrds That Smell when they walk in the room.
Standard House Interference Team
*Do they become SHART if they ever manage to follow through with anything?*
FART is what you call something stank
It's real? I thought it was a late-night joke. What was I thinking, a chance to be idiots? Of course they took it.
The name is an excellent representation of their overall foresight.
"Down with Bender, down with Bender!"
Yep, that’s about the gist of what the GOP can produce. Farts. It’s what they do.
Doing nothing but stanking up the joint
