Yewb,

If no one in power stands up and challenges them they will continue to do whatever the hell they want.

50% of "conservatives" don't seem to give a fuck about rule of law unless it benefits them.

If someone is breaking the law regardless of political affiliation they go to court, and if they are found guilty they go to jail.
If we cannot agree on this one thing we are circling the toilet bowl and everyone with half a brain should get out of this country, I hope the rich fucks perpetuating this have some clarity when they are the next target.

Cerbero,

They also shriek in them same breath about criminals and how the country is going down the hole. But nooo… It’s the black and brown criminals that are the problem not ours.

Tedesche,

The problem is between rich and poor, not white and brown. Racial conflicts are the distraction, don’t feed it.

shadowSprite,

I think this infuriates me so much. It’s not just that so many conservatives have blatantly spit on our laws and democracy. Our liberal politicians have stood by and watched them do it. Yes, they may have started a committee to investigate, and they may say it’s wrong, but these people literally tried to storm the Capitol and have continued to tear at the fabric of our nation and instead of taking a hard stance and being true patriots the liberals just sit there and go “oh no sweetie, we don’t do that, it’s not nice.” Fucking bring the hammers down, stand up and get rid of this shit!!! You are the ones with the power. See that these laws are upheld! Stop shaking your heads and wringing your hands when nothing is done, because if it ends up coming down to the people having to enforce laws this country is over.

flossdaily,

Republicans are absolutely out of control.

Trump incited the insurrection, and now these guys are making themselves accomplices after the fact by obstructing justice on his behalf.

bdesk,

What do you mean "after the fact"?

iyaerP,

They’re committing treason now.

They committed it in the past too, but they’re also doing it now in real time.

Yeah really. Remember these guys?

Jim Jordan’s there too!

PeleSpirit,

That guy. They have to have something on him for him to be so incredibly obvious that he’s one of the fixers in Congress.

jordanlund,

It’s not exactly a secret, there’s a reason people call him “Gym Jordan”.

PeleSpirit,

But that’s just it, everyone knows about it and hasn’t done anything about it so it has to be more.

Edit: Now that I think about it, maybe it is just for money.

dhork,

Just a quick reminder that Jim Jordan, by total coincidence, is also the chairman of the Subcommittee on the Weaponisation of the Federal Government:

Spendrill,

He got the job because of his experience. He’s a complete weapon himself.

weaponized idiocy?

jscummy,

They have a whole subcommittee deciding how best to weaponize the government?

@baronvonj@lemmy.world avatar

Well someone has to make sure it’s weaponized the “right” way.

opinions aren’t news.

sndmn,

And this is politics, not news. Try harder.

Conyak,

Good job. What is your point?
