Marjorie Taylor Greene is an embarrassing wreck of insanity, drama, and poor education and she’s not alone in her club of like-minded fans of chaos and governmental sabotage. I’d be surprised if Republicans implode before the election, but less so than at the start of the year given that Republicans Ken Buck and Mike Gallagher have already resigned in protest. If the legitimately extremist Republicans prove to be more serious than usual about their political brinkmanship then I don’t know what to expect honestly.
Dammit, I don’t even particularly like reality show-style forced drama on TV much less in nation-defining government. “Will government agencies completely shut down because of blocked funding?” “Is a President allowed to do whatever he wants even if it’s criminal for the rest of us? Tune in next week to find out!”

Don’t get fooled into thinking Johnson is a Republican ally. He’s just the smartest fascist in the room.
Good advice. The list of politicians I trust is short, is never unconditional, and doesn’t include anyone who supports Trump or uses Trump-style outrage politics. Even those who only do it for party solidarity are propping up a terrible person and a destructive trend.
In the age of Trumpism, I am not sure those are different things.
The smart fascists aren’t in that room at all…
Man, there’s been a shit ton of “news” articles today about things that “could” happen or consequences people “could” face. It must be a slow news day if all they have to go on is speculation about what future news could be.
Such is the curse that was brought upon us with the birth of 24/7 news.
When it started it was called “Headline News,” and it was the same news feed every 10 minutes. My dad would watch it 3 times in a row, it was boomer-chow. No one thought it would catch on.
Idk, that’s kinda political journalism most of the time?
Nah, it is just wishful thinking.
I do like the “absurd” finger pointing. :D
