George Santos seems like a gift that will keep giving.

I don't know how laughing at everything he says in front of Congress won't be the default reaction of anyone in the room.

“While SPEEDING ahead of reporters?”  Speeding??   While I get that Santos is the current in vogue dartboard for good reason, for a major network correspondent to lampoon the poor sap who did nothing more then hit a dead end in the labyrinth of a huge building he was new to is kinda small potatoes….  speaking of which … vvv

And he’s wearing a sweater?!!!!!

Watching Kevin McCarthy sell his soul, pride, ethics, and pretty much anything that isn't nailed down to become Speaker of the House....to have it in his grasp, only to have it snatched away because he's having to lie in the bed he made and "can't be trusted" by a bunch of kids he allowed to run the playground.....it's pretty hilarious.

In which debate and dissent within one political party is somehow maligned while the other party continues to act as the statist authoritarian borg that they are.

And which one is worthy of criticism?

If your point is "we mock the GOP for it's internal struggles but the Dems going without criticism" then you're screaming into an echo chamber.

Those paying attention believe both parties are pathetic and have long abandoned working for the people.

This place is largely an echo chamber when it comes to politics, yes.

Also true, except one is more dangerous then the other re: collusions with big pharma, big tech, major corporate interests and having a literal praetorian guard when it comes to about 90 percent of the media in this country. Unfortunately I'm not exactly going to run to third party disasters like the DSA.

How is selling your loyalty to the highest bidder more dangerous than an insurrection? That's a bad faith argument.

Both are abysmal and disgusting but one is undoubtedly more dangerous than the other.

Good thing we didn't have an insurrection. Asserting that January 6th was an insurrection despite our own intelligence agencies (and just to clarify, freak them too, they should be distrusted at every turn) refuses to classify it as such.

And yes, the one with institutional control over everything is infinitely more dangerous.

freak them!

Unless they support my bullshit argument.

OK, let's get semantics out of the way.

The one that, in the least didn't have a problem with, but more accurately helped orchestrate, the January 6th mob attack on the capital in an effort to undermine democracy, is the one that is more dangerous.

Put Jan 6th aside.

The one that either wishes to ban abortions, burn books and otherwise install christo-fascist authoritarianism, or is willing to allow others to if it's expedient to their personal goals, is the one that is more dangerous.

What's the definition of insurrection again?

What's the definition of insurrection again?

The definition depends on whether it makes my team look bad.
