US Politics Thread

Just mass demonstrations in which local/federal law enforcement becomes somewhat overly aggressive and/or some demonstrators do likewise and people get hurt. What happens sometimes when large groups of angry people are protesting and those expected to keep them orderly clash. Nothing to do with what is being protested — just the emotional effects.

That fiveheaded Butthead looking **** Matt Gaetz looks to be in trouble again for sex trafficking and underage girls.

An interesting parallel with Speaker Johnson...

It's really quite simple - Johnson is a political animal and does what it takes to remain in power. That's why he's doing what he's doing. As for the accusation about child abuse, it's just Fox News style click bait at this point. Which is not to say that I'm a fan of MAGA, Christian Nationalist, Mike Johnson.

It's a bizarre thread, the mirror image of pizzagate.

This is brilliant. The only downside is that his billionaire benefactors will probably just up the ante to get him to stay because there's a decent chance he might take this offer.

They are and it's not just Democrats. Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, John Bolton and others are doing it as well. Unfortunately the way the GQP bubble works means that millions of people will never get the memo.

Agree but that hard core of delusional followers are too small in number nationally. Where there could be trouble is the red states where these idiots have a majority and if the maga loonies take hold of a state they could really do some damage.

Yeah, they immediately pivot into “Well, Biden is in China’s pocket”* and then go into hUnTeRs LaPtOp as somehow being evidence of this.

* This and ‘old man, senile Joe’ are going to be the two points they hammer on this year in the lead up to the election. Of course, they have no fucking actual policy to talk about that anyone with a shred of morals wants to hear.
