@flexghost Refusing to play by the rules & accept the choice of the majority of voters, "GOP" is naturally disqualifying itself from being part of any electoral process.
@DemocracyMattersALot The "Republican" proposal to slash IRS funding alone constitutes a corrupt act & underlying bribery by the "GOP's" richest donors, to the disadvantage of low- & medium-income Americans.
Connecting that proposal with the alternative to stop aid to Israel is an act of illoyalty & corruption in favor of America's richest tax evaders, which can hardly be outperformed.
@marcelias Replacements should have to undergo security clearance procedures & tests scrutinizing loyalty & adherence to the U.S. Constitution.
And neutralization of/accountability of terrorists attacking election officials verbally or physically, to disrupt the electoral process as fair & free as it should be.
@realTuckFrumper Mike Johnson no longer has his Confederacy (has been defeated), but is still on his own crusade against the Fourteenth (Reconstruction) Amendment, which Louisiana & the other ex-Confederate states had to ratify to regain representation in Congress.
SCOTUS's 1965 decision in Griswold v. Connecticut (use of contraceptives) was based on the Fourteenth Amendment.
P.S.: Leonard Leo's protégé Johnson is either intellectually unable or unwilling to tell contraception from abortion.
@Ann1944 Funded by America's richest tax dodgers, Mike Johnson & his congressional "Republican" co-conspirators corruptly approve a bill to cut off low- & medium-income taxpayers' balls by slashing IRS funding!
@Free_Press Individuals, who are defendants in fraud trial(s) better shut the fuck up publicly fantasizing about "rigged elections", like Trump did in 2016 before the election, when polls (accurately) predicted he was gonna lose to Hillary — which didn't happen due to Putin's interference & habitual/traditional "Republican" voter suppression, gerrymandering, disenfranchisement, intimidation & other regularly practiced methods of fraudulently obstructing the electoral process.
#DavidBarton is a #Christofascist historical #revisionist who engages in #agenda-driven historical analysis for the purpose of justifying the imposition of #ChristianNationalist ideals. It's no surprise that Commander #MikeJohnson (R-#Gilead) is receptive to the intellectual bankruptcy being peddled by Barton. In Commander Mike's perfect world, we would all be forced to abide by his version of #Christianity; a literal #hell on earth for most of us.
@slcw Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli (signed Nov 4, 1796):
"Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen (Muslims); and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan (Mohammedan) nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."
@marcelias "Republicans" brazenly want to sow public distrust towards the electoral system & process they themselves are rigging (per voter suppression & -intimidation, gerrymandering & disenfranchisement & other instruments of fraud).
Disqualify all of Trump's co-conspirators inciting & engaging in insurrection against the authority of the United States & the laws thereof, and giving aid & comfort thereto.
@retrohondajunki@GW Of course Mike Johnson was one of 147 insurrectionary congressional "Republicans", who criminally voted to overturn the 2020 election, an expression of their approval of crime, as incorporated by Donald Trump, the major beneficiary of their unconstitutional & rebellious turpitude.
Robert Card, an Army reservist with a history of mental health issues, is suspected of killing at least 18 people at multiple locations in Maine on Wednesday.
So Mike Johnson opposes Obergefell v. Hodges & same-sex marriage, but obviously not sexual assault against more than 25 women, allegedly committed by his personal role model Donald J. Trump.
"The list of women who have publicly made sexual misconduct allegations against Donald Trump outnumbers the list of officials in his [former so-called] cabinet. Before today, no fewer than 25 women had made such accusations against Trump, ranging from harassment to sexual assault and rape."
When will Mike Johnson introduce legislation in the House to have prayers for grabbing groper Trump in public schools?
Can voters in Republican districts elect adults next time? Maybe people who want to govern and move the country forward instead of just creating outrage and using it to fundraise and get on TV?
@TonyStark The facts: With an utterly narrow (undeserved, fraudulently acquired) majority in the House, which is an intentionally self-paralyzing "majority" until further notice, today's "Republicans" are serving Putin's & Islamist terrorists' goals to weaken the United States by causing congressional incapability to act.
Not to mention Tuberville's treasonous obstruction of national defense.
@marcelias A slate of 9 supporters of electoral fraud is running for the 3rd-most important office of U.S. government.
In any normal country you'd call the cops.
Suppression of voters is an act of insurrection against the authority of the United States & their Constitution, especially the Reconstruction Amendments.
@marcelias You cannot achieve long-term "bipartisan" agreements with an entity committed to eradicate pluralism & democracy from a country's & nation's vocabulary — and parliaments.
@marcelias 😎 And that's called insurrection against the authority of the United States.
"... last week’s battle over Alabama’s congressional maps makes Republicans’ purported efforts to protect the high court’s legitimacy ring even more hollow. GOP state lawmakers in Montgomery effectively defied a month-old Supreme Court ruling on Friday by refusing to draw a second majority-Black congressional district—a rare instance of American elected officials openly refusing to abide by a federal court order."
@thepoliticalcat@jwalk1230 Scalise in the past reportedly called himself "David Duke without the baggage" & attended a white supremacist gathering organized by Duke in 2002.
Confedereds usurping the United States House's gavel? Has the bad smell of rebellion/insurrection.
Even more, when Scalise is enthusiastically cheered by Trump's hand-extension Matt Gaetz.
@marcelias The anti-American anti-democratic "Republican" party of dishonesty & disenfranchisement shouldn't even be on the ballot.
Accept the rules of democracy to guarantee free & fair elections or take time off to rethink your strategy of obstructing & disrupting electoral processes.
Oppressive Confederates in "Republican" clothing are zombies of the past.
#House Passes Short-Term Bill To Avoid Government #Shutdown With Hours To Spare; #Ukraine Money Cut
#House#Republicans, after a week, found a bipartisan path jettisoning aid to Ukraine in a move critics say will embolden Russian leader Vladimir #Putin.
The House voted 335 to 91 for a temporary funding bill to keep the government open until Nov. 17 and also fund disaster assistance. Two hundred and nine Democrats joined all 126 Republicans in voting for the package.
@GW Real Republicans would support the United States democratic Republic, not the adversarial Russian Federation & its imperialistic wars of aggression against sovereign, free countries.
Partisan politics without genuine American humanity-focused convictions testify to political & confessional (Christian) bankruptcy & the "GOP's" corruption & unworthiness for parliamentary seating.
@marcelias Updated translation of not only Wisconsin's insurrectionary "GOP":
*** Gang Of Putschists ***
What else but disqualification should the organized subversion of electoral process & infrastructure, including election officials & judiciary earn the criminal network constantly violating constitutional regulations & rules it's deliberately offending & breaking, in its organized rebellion against the authority of the United States?!
Showing Eighth Graders an Award-Winning Adaptation of Anne Frank’s Diary Now a Fireable Offense in Texas
Add this to the long list of things you’re not allowed to do in Texas
In Abbott’s #Texas, there are a lot of things people can’t do. They can’t get an #abortion after six weeks, And, according to recent events, they can’t teach middle school students about the #Holocaust using an illustrated adaptation of Anne Frank’s diary—or, they can, but they’ll be fired for it
@marcelias If "Republicans" are scared of an independent, citizen-led redistricting commission, they're simply confessing to be the designated losers in every free & fair election.
And that they're just rigging elections to pretend not to be the losing minority — which they are.
Their continued, almost "traditional" electoral fraud by means of voter suppression, disenfranchisement & gerrymandering, all their racist conspiracy against voters' rights must have legal consequences. It's unacceptable.
Can there be "bipartisanship" with a party of serial, continued electoral fraud? Not at all!
