*** Technically this is news from a far right-wing source. In reality it’s priceless comedy. ***
It’s high time someone in the Republican Party told Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to turn all that bombastic self-serving showmanship and drama queen energy on Democrats, and stop trying to defeat her own party.

The flaw with this is that bullies ALWAYS prefer to pick on weak* and insecure targets. Not saying the Dems are the chads in this schoolyard by any means, but why would the bully go after the normal, well-adjusted kids when they could go after the insecure, cringy, desperate ones? It's time to stop pretending she's anything other than a garden-variety cheer squad bully. She's never pretended to be otherwise, after all.
Though the war has taken a terrible toll on the valiant people of Ukraine, it has revealed Russia to be vulnerable. If President Biden had allowed an all-out aggressive war against Moscow, we would not be at a seeming stalemate. Because he dithered, Ukraine is now losing ground and urgently needs weapons and ammunition.
Holy fuck this commentator actually wanted us to invade Russia. What the flying fuck. That shit is so crazy it's hard to even put it to words.
Then goes on to defend FISA based on "trust me bro the turrurists are comming" even while claiming to once be wary of it.
If Democrats win control of Congress, which Ms. Greene may well facilitate, they will likely push through tax increases that will undermine investment and productivity, thereby depressing wage increases, and open the door to even more wasteful spending.
The bipartisan infrastructure bill and IRA both represent HISTORIC investment and productivity throughout all sectors of the US economy and the GOP was opposed to them. They aren't interested in investment and productivity. They just want tax cuts. We've been trying to get wages to go up their way for my entire life. It hasn't worked yet.
I sure fucking hope she's right that the dems plan to empower unions and pack the court. They need to do that. Decades ago. Yesterday. Right now. Tomorrow.
Truly amazing that this deranged diatribe now stands for the “reasonable” wing of the Republican Party. How can democracy function with such a party having any level of influence?
And yet, one party rule is no better. Democrats need an opposition party that is reasonable and wants to help the country, not merely destroy the portions they hate. I’m not seeing how we get there from here.
I think it'd be fine to have one-party Democrat rule as a transitional thing. What I expect would happen in the event of a Republican party "total collapse" scenario is that the Democratic party would end up splitting in two in fairly short order. The American electoral system is inherently a two-party system, whenever it strays from that in either direction there are powerful game-theoretic forces pushing it back to that equilibrium.
It can’t, as evidenced by the last 16 years of American politics. Republicans will never forgive democrats for having the audacity to put a black man in the White House.
