LOL, it's Day 1 of senate nomination hearings and already the GOP is back to talking about migrant caravans.
It's like they just materialized out of thin air right on cue!!
Why bother even trying to work with these people?

- Was anyone asking about multiculturalism? This is kind of like a way of earning "street cred" on the conservative side.yuekit
- Say something vaguely racist or controversial, liberals attack you for it, conservatives make excuses and rally to your side. Same tactic as Trump.yuekit
- Hopefully people are ready to move on from this shit. If I was a conservative I'd feel a bit insulted that Pompeo apparently thinks this kind of comment isyuekit

I remember after Obama was sworn in and the liberals I knew suddenly became a lot more about "pragmatism" with policy. People were once again stat lines and numbers, no longer our fellow humans who needed care. Health care couldn't be universal because insurance is American, and Wall Street ran the treasury because they know about money and all.
I don't know, it was my first real psychologically jarring event that made me realize I was not a liberal in the least bit. These people weren't anti-war, they were pro-trendy. And once their guy was in office, suddenly it's back to business of empire.
Trump has fortunately exposed every facade in media and culture, so at least as Biden and various democrats sidestep around policy with excuses, there's a more sizeable gang on the left ready to hit back for the first time in a while.
I dunno, democrats are cowards and I for one am looking forward to four years of hitting them from the left.

Rep. Marjorie Greene files articles of impeachment against Biden

Republican lawmakers are now saying we shouldn’t bother holding Trump accountable for the Republican attack on the Capitol.
Notice that they’re not saying Trump isn’t responsible. They’re saying it’s not worth impeaching him over it because it will cause more divisiveness in the country.
LOL Republicans are such fucking cowards.
What a horseshit excuse. The country overwhelmingly is opposed to what happened at the Capitol building and we want people held accountable. Only a fool would believe that letting Trump off the hook would help bring the country together. They’re simply too afraid to stand up for what’s right.
Republicans are scum. Fucking swamp creatures.

Greene, who represents Georgia's 14th Congressional District, frequently posted far-right extremist and debunked conspiracy theories on her page, including the baseless QAnon conspiracy which casts former President Donald Trump in an imagined battle against a sinister cabal of Democrats and celebrities who abuse children.
In one post, from January 2019, Greene liked a comment that said "a bullet to the head would be quicker" to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In other posts, Greene liked comments about executing FBI agents who, in her eyes, were part of the "deep state" working against Trump.

Greene "agreed with conspiracy theories 'that "none of the school shootings were real or done by the ones who were supposedly arrested for them.'" Everytown cited Media Matters for America reports that showed Greene's comments, including ones alleging the school shooting in Parkland, Florida at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was a "false flag" event. A false flag event is one that is carried out to hide the real culprits.
“Rep. Greene continues to lower the already-subterranean bar she’s set for herself, and further embarrass our entire government,” said Sari Kaufman, a volunteer leader with Students Demand Action and a survivor of the Parkland, Florida school shooting.

A Georgia congressional candidate's Facebook post, featuring herself holding a gun next to images of U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, and two other members of the "Squad," drew condemnation Friday from Democratic lawmakers.
In the Thursday post, Marjorie Taylor Greene, the GOP nominee in Georgia's heavily Republican 14th District, wears sunglasses and stands with a gun next to photos of Tlaib and U.S. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, and Ilhan Omar, D-Minnesota. Text below the image says "Squad's Worst Nightmare!"
