To be clear, I am totally familiar with the fact that Brawndo has what plants crave.

But it’s important to highlight the fact that Devin Nunes is in fact a total idiot who pretends to be a farmer.

So Nunes is mooooving on from congress.

Maybe Russia finally said they wanted to cash in on their compromat on Nunes?

Effing DeSantis and his Nazi style.

This is my Florida surprised face.

12304

But I didn’t think you could vote on things without a supermajority, huh?

12305

How the fuck did the minority party get this to a vote?

12306

I think it was part of the debt limit deal.

12307

Biden gets to veto it.

12308

Not seeing much about this, but assuming it was part of the debt limit deal, it’s just a pointless gesture the Rs can go campaign on, for whatever that is worth. It isn’t passing the House.

Edit edit:

Here’s the actual story from the Politico reporter who launched the original tweet.

The Senate issued a high-profile rebuke of President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate on large businesses Wednesday night, in a largely symbolic vote to get rid of a key component of the administration’s Covid-19 response.

Democrats Joe Manchin (W.Va.) and Jon Tester (Mont.) joined all the Republicans present in the 52-48 vote after critics assailed the mandate as an example of federal overreach and dismissed its option of weekly testing for workers who refuse to get shots as an insufficient accommodation.

Lawmakers employed a mechanism called the Congressional Review Act that offers a fast track for wiping out administrative rules. A companion petition in the House is still short of the 218 signatures needed to force a floor vote, and the White House has already promised to veto any disapproval measure that clears Congress.

Killing your constituents to own the libs.

If it’s election season, it’s Meet the Anti-Semites.

12311

George Soros is 91. Can’t they leave him alone?

12312

Bob Dole is dead and it didn’t stop some people on here, so no.

12313

Are you really making a comparison between people expressing their dislike for Bob Dole in a discussion about him with the Right’s anti-Semitic obsession with George Soros? I’m not seeing how those two things are alike at all.

12314

I seem to have missed the years of claims that Bob Dole was running some shadow conspiracy.

Can you link them? Thrag loves Bob Dole jokes.

12315

I’m saying that getting old doesn’t give you a pass from attacked on either side. Charles Koch is 86, spent almost nothing on Republican politics in the last few years, and routinely gets vilified as a Nazi, on MSNBC, Vox etc.

12316

Fair enough! I mean, I’m certainly not going to pull any punches because Rupert Murdoch is 90.

12317

The Kochs do get demonized to an exaggerated degree in places. That is true. However it is not true that Charles is somehow uninvolved in politics. While not trumpers they still donated massive sums to Trump and conservative candidateds.

But Charles did say oopsie.
