What the fuck.

WHAT THE FUCK

I saw that she didn't vote with gaetz and I was puzzled, thanks for the info!

The musky chodelet continues to surprise no one.

He wants trump elected again. Which would be an existential threat to the USA.

I added a bit of context to my comment, I definitely didn't communicate my thinking well.

I meant that a new speaker will be scared of the gaetz crowd. They'll be even less cooperative than the gop have been.

Ah, ok that makes sense now. I hadn't really kept up on dem/mccarthy relations. I was referring to the new leader being afraid to piss off the gaetz crowd by working with Dems even once.

I don't think they should have saved him. I added some context to my comment, since everyone is thinking I meant something very different.

Damn. I guess the gop speaker will never compromise with the dems ever again.

EDIT: I meant in the context of the bill that mccarthy passed on Saturday with the help of the dems. Any new speaker will be very wary of pissing off the gaetz crowd.

Talk to your doctor, not Lemmy.

Which why there has to be strict oversight to prevent that from happening.

I so wanted to downvote you because that legit annoyed me lol.

Fuck, yeah!

Competency tests before you can appear on a ballot, with a commission that reviews the requirements to prevent the exclusion of minorities.

All financial information must be disclosed by anyone with power over others.

Somehow replace shares with cooperatives and employee ownership.

No elected judges, with stringent training and yearly bias testing. Like a postdoc in judicial impartiality.

Same with sheriffs. No elected police. Police should be a career, like a civil engineer. To be promoted, people must pass ever more strict ethics courses.

Any person who is a position of trust and power who then acts contrary to the ethics of their role can never be elected. Or have power over anyone again.

Children must be free of religion until they are 25.

Children must not be mutilated by their parents religion.

National healthcare.

USA focused: each state gets one senator, plus one per 2 million residents.

That's actually pretty good for a dadjoke!

As well it should. They saved a lot of lives.

No joke, before moving here, I learned a lot about USA daily life from The Simpsons.

With odds like that, we can't fail. Simple rule of conservation of narration.

implies

So these people get money because of the implication?

I'm just messing around, we all know I won't win lol.

Bunch of degenerates are terminally online on an almost anything goes website.

Stormfront and others see the site as ripe for manipulation and recruiting.

Over a decade, 4chan is dragged rightward by concerted effort from various fascist groups.

Manipulation of social media increases into the 2010s, fueled now by governments attacking mostly the USA and Europe.

QAnon gains popularity after others on 4chan fail; CIAnon, FBIAnon, etc etc. Right wing, hateful, insane, or just plain dumb normies all slurp up the conspira-juice.

russian asset becomes president. Incompetently tries to destroy government and nation while stealing as much as possible.

russian asset loses election. Decides to try to destroy the USA a bit more by declaring the election fraudulent without a shred of evidence. Tries hard to get result flipped to republicans for... reasons.

Dumb ex president thinks he can just demand Congress elect him. Holds a rally the same day as the election is certified, tells attendees to "fight for America's future, let's march to the Capitol, I'll be right behind you!"

After they organized partially on 4chan, Enthusiastic chodelet troglodytes storm the Capitol.
