Oh they are fucking absolutely terrified of her 🤣

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 39 points 2 months ago

Also I'm honestly surprised the words "uppity", "negro", and "colored" weren't in there. I haven't seen the full text of it, so I'll reserve judgment on that, but damn Tennessee, you didn't send your best when you gave this guy a seat

Angry will probably be used often.

Mr racist goes to Washington!

Shit like this will always continue to happen unless there are penalties for people who bring frivolous arguments up. We need to push bullshit back systemically.

Unfortunately this kind of thing is political posturing of the purest kind. It almost certainly won’t go anywhere, but Dingus McFuckwit gets to say he held the VP accountable.

Political posturing yes, but it's also slander. She should be able to sue directly, not the postion, whos seat is being challenged in the upcoming election.

[-] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I would agree, but what if 1% of politicians are fighting for what the people want and 99% fighting against it? I think in that case the first group would get those penalties (even if they're fighting for something genuinely correct)

wow that was rich.

the whole thing is "she's incompetent! she lied! she bad border lady!"

then, later on.. ".....also she should initiate article 25 and become our president."

Ratings on weirdo talk shows

[-] c0smokram3r@midwest.social 20 points 2 months ago

You know they’re serious bc they included her whole ass name in the filing 😂

[-] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

So this shitheel is Rep. Andy Ogles. You know he lied about his education while campaigning and of course he had campaign finance irregularities. Denies the 2020 presidential election was valid yadda yadda.

But! The shit cherry on the shit sundae? Stole $25k from a GoFundMe for stillborn kids. I'm not kidding:

Ah, Tennessee, what can we say about you that hasn't yet been blessed upon the bottom quinquagesitile?
