      Every journalist, in every interview, should ask him if 2020 was stolen and how, until he admits it was a lie or becomes liabile for defamation.

    This guy is popping a wheelie right off the starting line. Where in the ever loving fuck do they dig these idiots up at? How is this government? I wouldn’t trust this lunatic with a book of matches and somehow he is third in line for the presidency.

        Was referring more to just the inundation of current and past wild shit coming out about him since he got voted in. I should have been more clear.

          Totally fair. I was also thinking about “Hey, why didn’t we hear about all this until after he was elected?” Oh yeah, they kind of hustled him through - so fast, in fact, that his own family couldn’t get flights in time to join him in Washington for his swearing in. Research takes time.

          The American Fascist Party didn’t want anyone to have all this shit assembled in one place until it was too late.

      Second, technically. Biden IS president, not in line. So it’s Harris then this fuckbag.

      When you consider that a major part of the Republican platform is “government is bad and can’t be trusted to do things” I think it makes more sense.

      Plus the people funding the republicans could be happy to see the party being a spectacle in various ways that make people think of things other than taxes and industry regulations.

      Can we just have all the smaller shitshows roll up under one big shitshow conspiracy? Like a SICO (Shitshow Influenced Corrupt Organization)?

    Should have known something was up about this guy when they just rammed him through at record speed.

    We literally went from “There’s nobody in the GOP that can get to 217” to “Hey here’s Mike Johnson out of nowhere he’s perfectlyfinenowletsjustramhimthroughinrecordtimemovealongnothingtoseeherejustvoteforhim” in a couple of hours.

    He had all the baggage of Jim Jordan, if not more. They were just hoping nobody would notice.

    Look at the wish version, Minnie Pearl getting all screamy up front! She’s having a great time yanking up the ladder behind herself and making sure all the youngsters have a downright miserable future ahead!

    That guy looks like he spent a good portion of childhood trying to become a real boy. And then, once he got his wish, he immediately turned evil.

    What the Democratic Party must do, and do well, is make sure this weird little elf of a “man” (along with the gross and criminal little d) is made the face of the Republican Party.

    They need to do everything to highlight that this is who they are.

    Can someone who isn’t trained figure out how to audit the results to verify they are correct without figuring out who anyone voted for? With simple paper ballots anyone can. With computer voting machines, as someone with a computer science degree i’m confident I can rig the results in a.way that I wouldn’t catch is someone else was rigging the results.

      You can easily just chuck paper ballots and write new ones. It’s easier than hacking a computer system. Trust me, I wrote through all of school.

        Sure, but any idiot understands that attack. Which is why the major political parties send volunteers to watch elections go ensure that doesn’t happen.
