    This Thread is kind of depressing, liberals and leftist celebrating having a Christian dominionist in the speakership. This ain’t a victory

      If it stops the legislature from being paralyzed and gives Democrats leverage, it’s certainly better than the alternative. But no…it’s not ideal.

      It is a safe bet that if MTG is for it, it’s bad for the country.

      She is clearly looking to punish him for the Ukraine aid vote. Her losing that battle is a good thing. Winning the house in November so that we don’t have to deal with this as much going forward would be even better than that.

      “If it’s not perfect it’s garbage”

      “Playing with broken toys is so cringey”

      … talk about depressing, imagine hating reality and being obsessed with a utopia you will never see

        Right? Can you imagine? Someone working towards something good for humanity and the world that they will never see themselves?

        Losers right? Planting trees that they can’t even enjoy the shade of themselves.

        Don’t they know about “I got mine fuck you”?

          Way to stretch what the original commenter was saying… lmao.

          They’re shitting on people for making do with what they have for the purposes of the present people that need help.

          Seems to me that if we can focus on improving the present, the future would naturally be improved. That means taking the lemons life has given, and turning them into lemonade. Not bitching and moaning about how you don’t have any strawberry lemonade mojitos.
