Historic Repub House Dysfunction
[QUOTE=EihTooms;2857654][b]It must be nice to be a Deadbeat Do Nothing Know Nothing Pink Tinkle Repub.[/b]
LOL. Once again, after Joe Biden and the Dems shouldered all the heavy lifting and assumed all the political risk to completely turn around and recover America (and much of the world) from the horrific downturn result of typically disastrous Trump / Repub economic and national security policies and stewardship, in comes the Deadbeat Do Nothing Know Nothing Pink Tinkle Repubs who sat on their butts and did absolutely nothing productive or of value to America for the past 9 months, only to perform one ridiculous Repub Clown Show after another in hopes that their doing so will somehow still achieve the Repub Party dream of destroying the USA economy and weaken our national security and defence. ... [/QUOTE]
Where does one start with such "historic" Repub dysfunction?
We have now watched Repubs disembowel and eviscerate 4 of their last 5 Repub House Speakers (from Newt Gingrich, John Boehner, Paul Ryan and now Kevin McCarthy), all inept, dysfunctional, weak and unable to control their party, as they are ousted or resign the chair in disgrace.
This is yet another prime example of their inept ability to govern, largely because they have no governing philosophy, ethnics and morale compass or lack there of.
How can we expect Americans, in good conscience, to give the Repubs power, when this is the type of disjointed, dysfunctional, chaotic mess they create, time and time again?

I'm still laughing, at the previous fallout and meltdown at FOXY Muse, from the "Dominion-Fucker Carlsongate" debacle/scandal. I'm surprised they can see past their own bullshit at FOXY Muse.
The one Repub Speaker of the House they loved too much to oust

Oh, he also became a convicted felon for financial crimes related to his sexual abuse of teenage boys.
Which does add historical background credence to the Pink Tinkle push to now make Donald J. Trump their most beloved Republican Speaker of the House.
That is simple cultural change
[QUOTE=CrowExplorer;2857875]Popular culture is rife with "wokism". The majority of movies and TV series currently have some form of cultural agenda. It's actually harder to find shows and movies that don't contain woke bullshit. Even some left wingers complain about it. The woke crowd is incapable of creating anything on their own, so they just insert women, "people of color", gays and tranny freaks into existing genres.
Years ago, the Christians had moral authority, but now the pendulum has swung the other way and it's the left who wield moral authority in America. They brow-beat and proselytize the virtues of victimhood Olympics, and blaming the straight white man for everything.
Funny thing is, the guardians of feminism can't even tell you what a "woman" is. I highly recommend watching "what is a woman? A documentary by Matt Walsh. He talks to a lot of woke folk (who EihTooms doesn't believe exist). It's hilarious how almost all left wingers are afraid to answer that question. And the ones who do answer, say dumb things like: "a woman is whatever someone thinks a woman is". Or "I'm not an expert! I don't know! And these fucking people vote! Holy shit!
We truly do live in a ClownWorld.
Anyway, I don't understand why a straight white man would support a group that fucking hates him, but then again, Epstein was a straight white man, what party did he support? I guess I'm starting to understand some of you.[/QUOTE]What you are seeing is simple cultural and demographic change in taste.
Guys like Bill Maher whine, cry and complain about universities being too "woke" to invite him to appear. They just don't think his jokes are funny enough to invite him anymore. I am sure there are universities in Ruby Red States he could appear in every week if he wanted to. Same with Adam Carolla. Maybe he just doesn't want to go to those universities and is waiting for UCLA or USC students to love his jokes again.
BTW, I don't know anyone who votes for or supports the Democratic Party rather than the Republican Party in order to be "loved" by anyone or who gives a shit who hates them.
I do it because I much prefer Great Dem Recoveries, Economic Expansions and Historic Jobs Creation over Great Repub Depressions, Great Repub Recessions and Massive Jobs Destruction. The former is much better for the cash flow from the tenants in my California rental property than the latter. I really don't give a shit whether or not a healthy rental market income for my business makes anyone of any race or sexual identity love me.
Instead of this imaginary "wokism" bothering me, the cultural issue I am more bothered by are the Repub Governors' actual legislation and moves to remove, ban, monitor or burn books that make their idiotic Repub base feel uncomfortable unless they assert that "There were very fine people on both sides of The Holocaust" or "There were very fine people on both sides of a lynching" and so on.
Because that actually uses law to promote stupidity. And stupidity is generally not good for a national economy or job markets that support my rent rates.
Setting the Record Straight...
[QUOTE=CrowExplorer;2857875] ... Funny thing is, the [b]guardians of feminism[/b] can't even tell you [b]what a "woman" is[/b]. ... [/QUOTE]Well, it looks like we have the genuine article, a member from the [i]"[b]non[/b]-guardians of feminism"[/i] (whatever that is? As I take it, that is what you'd be, based on your "guardians of feminism" comment), right here in the hallowed hall/forums of ISG.
So brother, why don't you just tell us, [i]"what a women is?"[/i] So as to set the record straight (no pun intended), about women.
Also curious, if the [i]"[b]non[/b]-guardians of feminism"[/i] can also tell us, [i]"what a man is?"[/i]
The solution is really obvious, of course.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2857887]If there were any tears it would be my laughing. The top two accomplishments were massive spending bills. Another was the mass vaccination that did not work, and just today, zero hedge had an article on how the Biden administration is lying and says there were no vaccine mandates. Then there was crime and Afghanistan. LOL Really? Bragging about boosting IRS spending? Oh boy. Ukraine? You are killing me Spidy. I am laughing so hard I might stroke.
I cannot believe how many of these "accomplishments" were either taking money from citizens and spending it on worthless crap or printing up money and spending it on crap and then I found one (Hurray!) where Biden actually saved the taxpayer's money: Gave Medicare the power to negotiate prescription drug prices through the Inflation Reduction Act while also reducing government health spending. You have shown me one good thing Biden has done Spidey! Congrats!
Of course, Biden said that increased government spending does not lead to inflation. Bidenomics is supply and demand does not exist. This reminds me of the old Soviet joke where a communist leader was told that he couldn't land a space ship on the sun because it was too hot and said "No problem, we will just land the space ship at night.[/QUOTE]If you want responsible Dems with a sterling record of pulling us out of Great Repub Depressions, Great Repub Recessions and Massive Repub Jobs Destruction to stop passing massive government spending bills in order to produce those sterling Recovery results you must immediately stop voting in such a way that puts Repubs in a position to produce Great Repub Depressions, Great Repub Recessions and Massive Repub Jobs Destruction.
The best way to achieve that condition is to vote Dem straight down the ballot in every election for which you are qualified to register and vote and urge everyone you know to do the same.
Not voting will not achieve that condition.
Voting for any candidates other than the Dems won't do it.
Only voting for the Dems straight down every ballot will do it.
Pass it along.
The goal should be to never have fewer than 250 Dems in the House. Never.
And to never have fewer Dems in the Senate than 65. Never.
And to never put anyone in the White House except a Dem. Never.
Then the USA will very, very likely never have a Great Depression, Great Recession, Skyrocketing Unemployment Rates, Massive Jobs Destruction, inevitable Recovery Inflation or insurmountable Deficit Spending again.
Wouldn't that be nice? You bet it would.
Voting in any other way introduces huge levels of unnecessary risk that we will suffer all the crap you are always complaining about over and over and over and over again.
Disagree with the premise of "ONLY"

Another party voted as one unit. You have one side with total disfunction and can't get things together among themselves, while the other are actually writing bills that get passed and signed into law. I will agree with you on the current political environment. However, I disagree with "only" dems or repubs is the only way to solve problems for the country. I will agree that electing competent people is the way to go. Currently, you may be correct, but it is not forever because human will figure a way to be corrupt.
This is how I selected my congressman in when he was not the incumbent: How does your past experience qualify you for the job? Do you seem like a person of good character? Fairly low bars.
This is how I select my congressman when he is the incumbent: Did you write or sponsor bills that has affected me positively? Were you successful in those bills? What was the circumstances on why those bills were not successful? How many bills were you involved with during your 2 years? Higher requirements when asking for continuation of a job.
This should be applied to every election. When I go to work, I don't get to keep my job if I don't do a good job. We are too lazy to ask more of incumbents, when that's exactly how we should treat them, as employees. Primaries are great for your side if he / she wins. General elections is when you want the right person, and sometimes that's a hard decision if he / she is not your primary choice. It's funny to me that tribalism sometime trumps what you believe is right and wrong.
