Can someone please remind me, what is the Republican platform other than whining?
Racism and homo/transphobia. Oh yeah, and women are just incubators. I think that sums it up.
You forgot about our many insightful hearings into various conspiracy theories, along with not even bringing up the importance of Hunter Biden’s Penis in today’s society – a topic so important that the word Penis needs to be capitalized in order to emphasize just how important it is.
If it’s so bad why doesn’t she refuse the socialist healthcare provided by her job in Congress?
Exactly, she gets to have some of the best healthcare available for free provided by tax payer. She should be so upset to refuse that and also the pension provided to her, also she should also give back the paycheck she received as that is tax payer money as well. But just as with everything these people get “outraged” about it is about other people getting the benefits.
Their motto: Less for you means more for me.
Why do people keep listening to her and giving her attention?
She has power. She’s on major committees and basically controls McCarthy’s speakership. Ignoring her won’t make her go away.
She’s been expelled from the Hard right caucus, shes losing political capital with her antics. Calling Boebert a bitch wasn’t a good move for her fascist buddies.
My question was more why she has that power, why she is in major committees. Still a politician who is not taken seriously will eventually lose their power. Listening to her only empowers her
Yeah… I got yelled at a while back for saying that I think she’s irrelevant. Apparent I’m not allowed to think that because she’s a super-important politician™
A person who works in government administration (the governing body that decides the laws you have to obey) is relevant, even if unlikable.
Edit: also ‘yelled at’? Lol I saw that thread. It was you ignoring 12 people talking sense to you.
The point is why she works there?
I was me being told I wasn’t allowed to have the OPINION that she is irrelevant TO ME.
I don’t think that’s how it went. Enjoy your opinion.
So not only are you telling me what my opinion should be, you’re telling me that how I said it wasn’t how I said it?
Is there a gatekeeping award coming up? Because I’d love to nominate you.
Lol, unrustle your jimmies.
Lol, make sense.
Socialism is the boogie man to the Right, but if you ask Right leaning voters about individual policies they almost universally all want to keep them. So damn frustrating.
It seems like nothing they say matters anymore. Some Republicans want to get rid of Medicare. You would think this would lose them massive votes among the elderly, their biggest constituency. But it just doesn’t seem to matter.
These people will consistently vote against their own best interest to “own the libs” which I’m not even sure what that means at this point.
Not to mention that they’re often convinced the things they vote for will never impact themselves.
That’s how the classic “He’s not hurting the right ones” quote came about.

To expand on that
“No one gets any toys… but I should still get some anyways because I am a good and deserve it”
Whenever someone who is vehemently against any kind of “progressive” idea like abortion, socialized healthcare, etc. quickly change their tune when it comes to something directly affects them. Hell, even the pateon saint of libertarianism, Ayn Rand, took advantage of Social Security and Medicare in her old age.
Yeah but Ayn Rand said, that is in tune with Libertarianism, because its all about being a selfish asshole or something. (She said it differently, but that is ehat it boils doen to)
She said altruism was evil. And people on the right eat that shit up.
Yet they are more religious… I guess altruism is just too big of a word for them…
I wish Major Trailer Queen would stop getting media attention. She’s an idiot. The worst kind: an idiot with a microphone.
There is a whole post about it already.
Yep, sorry
Don’t apologize. It’s good content and should be seen.
I haven’t seen it
Republicans have been against Medicare since the Johnson administration. Reagan railed against it too early in his political career. This isn’t new. Arguments against it now are still just as dumb as they were in the 60s.
Imagine thinking the one part of healthcare system that almost works is the problem
Medicare is the best medical insurance in America. You automatically get the best price on everything (except drugs) because the profiteering charge is automatically removed.
The only problem with it is that reimbursement rates are so low that a lot of private practice doctors just won’t take it.
I feel like doctors should be required to take it. Just awful.
Sporkfoot the Shaved Georgia Skunk Ape has never been known for brilliant rhetoric or insightful discussion. She’s done nothing but grandstand, screech hate-filled nonsense, and gin up people dumber than herself.
Oh, and be buddy-buddy with BoBo the clown and Gaspaedo.
This is hilarious.
Public healthcare is communism. Facts. Public schools are communism too, school shootings aren’t communism though.
school shootings are equal opportunity though
From each according to the magazine, to each according to where I can aim.
That website gave my phone feline leukemia
Isn’t the state that bankrolls her “socialist” (is Russia). She’s a corrupt idiot.
govt spending does need to be curtailed, not sure if I agree with some of her other points though.
It sure does. We spend more on the military than the next top ten countries combined. We spend 40% of all the military spending in the whole world. You’re darn right we need to curtail government spending!
Oh, sorry, not supposed to talk about that spending. That spending is just fine, with complete disregard to whether a politician has a D or an R next to their name, every year, without fail, without exception and without argument. We’re in such a financial crisis you guys! And yet more than half the bloated budget is just magically off the table! Isn’t that fascinating.
