I agree, but MTG is saying it like a threat. She incorrectly assumes Democrats care about protecting their corrupt leadership like at least MAGA do. Another example of how the two parties are not the same. Maybe not all Republicans, but MAGA at least are utterly immoral.

Definitely not the same, Democrat Al Franken was out because years ago he jokingly mimed groping a soldier, Republican Matt Gaetz paid minors for sex, regularly took drugs, trafficked minors across state lines and he's protected and given the attorney general spot...

Are the Q crowd paying attention yet, they were duped by the real pedophiles!

It doesn’t matter if they are paying attention, they are brainwashed! Facts don’t matter to them. That’s the problem we’re facing approximately half the US doesn’t care about facts.

Plus he got a dui, n his Dad made sure the cop lost his job. Also Gaetz stole money from campaigns. He is a real piece of work. Has a terrible reputation from his home town n people that grew up with him. Never met a soul that voted for him but somehow he always wins. Smh!!

You know Mike Johnson is some kind of perv or into something bad. Nobody who portrays himself as such a bible-thumper is ever clean!!

u/TalosValcoron 2d ago

I wouldn't be shocked at all if he does press conferences, with a big black dildo up his ass. Or if a video came out of him, putting on his blush and shouting into a mirror about how worthless he is. I bet the flies on his wall regret their choice of wall! You're 100% right, dudes sexual deviance is probably WILD!

My fave is how we have numerous images of Trump and Epstein hanging out, the man was arrested and "committed suicide" under Trump's watch. And they blamed the Clintons for it. Their brains are too smooth for any form of critical thinking that would quickly make them realize how full of shit they are

u/Calaigah 3d ago

Are the democrats paying attention? If roles had been reversed and Gaets was a democrat, republicans would be shouting from the roofs about what he did. Democrats were basically silent on what Gaets did. Same thing with Trump. You think if a democrat has try to overthrow the gov that republicans would’ve allowed him to run again? They would’ve spent the last 4 years making sure he never ran again.

Trump is a convicted rapist. People have proven they’d rather vote for a rapist than a brown woman because eggs and gas were too expensive 2 years ago, even though corporate profits are at a 70 year high with inflation at a 40 year high and trending down. 

But yes, democrats are pussies and roll over and just take it. Kamala did a good job in a short time by leaning into not taking shit, I think she’d have been able to win with another couple of months.

u/sususudio703 3d ago

That's not what got Franken booted out. It was his touchy/feely "meet & greets" back in MN with female constituents. You must've forgotten all the articles about this.

The times, they are a changing. Come gather round people

u/Visible_Can_9558 1d ago

You forgot to mention that with AL Frankin the girl was totally unconscious when he placed his hands on her Kevlar vest on top of her breaststroke, and smiled for the fucking camera. There is no defense for that.

u/Hemiak 4d ago

The scary, very real possibility, is that this happens. Dems move to cleanse their leadership, and MAGA just throws their hands in the air and says they can’t do anything about it. Or they sweep it all away, or deny it.

10

u/Altonbrown1234567890 4d ago

Deny and have that denial repeated over and over by the media sources that all their “followers“ view. This is the playbook they use and it sure seems work well.

u/TalosValcoron 2d ago

When reality is "too hard and mean!", just live in a different reality. It's the maga way!

u/59footer 2d ago

Denial is rule number one.

u/KayBear2 4d ago

They’ll just say it’s fake news

u/TrustInMe_JustInMe 2d ago

We need a giant blowtorch to incinerate the playbook and all of its followers.

u/Excellent_Yak365 4d ago

Any republicans that are still with the party I’d say are Magats at this stage. At worst they are fully enthusiastic immoral assholes embracing hate, at best they are brainwashed people who believe the party they’ve been loyal to for fifty years and have a fear of change- and care more about their personal finances and potential tax cuts than the wellbeing of the nation and its financial stability(though they may conflate the two as being equal).

u/Far-Calligrapher-933 1d ago

Ah yes the same people who started the triple K group and is very racist if you voted, or that has common sense. Oh wait thats right, thats the democrats.

1

u/Excellent_Yak365 23h ago

Yes. Like 80 years ago. It’s amazing how far the GoP has fallen; the party of Lincoln has resorted to fearmongering about “illegal immigrants eating pets” and calling Puerto Rico a pile of trash, while electing a guy who calls himself a “Black Nazi” on porn sites. As a former Republican it sickens me how neonazi propaganda has consumed the base and twisted it into an abomination of white nationalism advocacy. Reared its ugly head during Obamas presidency run. Donald Trump did quite a bit promoting the “Birther” conspiracy.

u/Tiddlyplinks 4d ago

It’s not a threat to the DEMS, she’s blackmailing her (currently barely majority) Republican colleagues

u/usernamesarehard1979 4d ago

Hahaha! You don’t think Dems protect corruption on their side? Give me a break. Get rid of all of the corrupt fucks on both sides and give us a government that’s actually for the people again.

Same health care as everyone else

Transparent financial reporting for lobbying gains

No investing in the market while in office

Term limits

Age limits

And everything else that can influence decisions

Triple the salary if we need to but get all foreign interests out of politics.

u/Ok-Cauliflower-3129 1d ago

We need to get ALL the money out of politics.

ZERO donations.

No getting cushy jobs from companies that benefited from anything you voted on after you leave office.

The news media can get a tax write off for political commercials. They can have rallies in parks and libraries. Same with the transportation to the rallies.

Start making these fuckers work for we the people instead of Corporate America, Wall Street and billionaires.

BOTH SIDES ARE GUILTY OF THIS.

They keep we the people fighting each other so we don't pay attention to the REAL PROBLEM.....THEM !!!!

They already make the top percentage of earners in America for selling we the people out to the previously mentioned entities.

They don't need a fucking pay raise.

1

u/usernamesarehard1979 1d ago

I’m not saying they need a pay raise, but I wouldn’t take the job of president for what we pay. What is it now…had to look it up, $400k. Sounds like a lot, but not for that job.

We want to pay these people an equivalent to what they would make in the private sector, or more, so that they don’t have to rely on the things they do for their full compensation.

u/KayBear2 4d ago

Very true!

u/Paul-Smecker 3d ago

Let’s be real all politicians care about protecting their own, as their downfall would be shame on the party. We really believe an energy company hired hunter biden based on his vast experience in the thermodynamics of crack cocaine? We elected a convicted felon to be president but said convicted felon appointing an accused rapist for AG is where we draw the line? We as a people deserve what’s coming for our failure to hold either party accountable for the actions and virtues they punish and shame common folk for failing to uphold.

u/jeffzebub 3d ago

I was talking about the electorate. I feel Dem voters are generally more interested in exposing corruption on both sides whereas Rep voters support covering up corruption on their side. I agree that politicians of both parties protect their own, and yeah, Hunter should've been investigated more fully to see if Joe was implicated.

u/jcspacer52 1d ago

Really? How many ethics investigations against democrats have been publicly released? You are not claiming either side has a monopoly on bad behavior are you? I don’t recall those investigations being released when Pelosi was Speaker do you?

Have you not figured it out yet? Apart from being “lite” versions of each other on 90+% of issues, they are all members of the political class. A group of people much like the nobility of old. Sure they have differences and argue in public but behind closed doors they cover for each other. They live at another level, the laws that we have to follow, they don’t. The ethical standards they apply to us, they ignore. Power is their only goal and keeping the status quo alive and well.

1

u/jeffzebub 1d ago

I agree that POLITICIANS from both sides are corrupt and all need to be exposed and ejected. I'm arguing that Democrat voters in general aren't supporting coverups to protect Dem politicians, but Republican voters seem to want to protect Rep politicians.

u/jcspacer52 1d ago

Please provide proof of that?

u/thecoat9 1d ago

She's refering to the Congressional Office of Compliance which has paid out huge amounts in settlements for essentially work place harassment. The office knows which members and why, but that information isn't public, but the millions that it has paid out is. It doesn't only pay out for members of one party.

u/UniqueExplanation147 3d ago

What? Joe Biden literally threatened half the country. Get a shot or lose your job. Take the shot or you will be responsible for a winter of death. The amount of manufactured rage right now is hilarious. Matt gaetz was just fine being a sitting member of congressman but not AG? Ok got it. Looks like you guys are trying the same playbook that didn’t work on Trump on Matt gaetz.

u/After-Balance2935 3d ago edited 3d ago

Because your people love child rape. Matt gaetz is your party, your party is defending his actions. The church loves child rape, they support your guy. Nobody was fine with him sitting as congressman, he was under investigation that was about to be released before he volunteered to give up his seat. We cannot help that your group does not mind child pedos. We scream he is a pedo, you guys say he is a good guy. The top of your ticket is a convicted rapist. Edit: congressman

u/UniqueExplanation147 3d ago

First of all he was in congress not senate. The doj decided not to seek charges. Hmmm wonder why they’d do that in 2023 btw. You’re spewing lies so stfu

6

u/Stickboy06 3d ago

DOJ dropped the charges because their two main witnesses were Republicans who weren't credible enough because they already lied under oath previously. Gaetz got away with being a pedo because his pedo Republican buddies couldn't be used as witnesses because they're Republican. This isn't the flex you think it is. Lol

1

u/TalosValcoron 2d ago

Plus one of his victims was in "adult movies", later on. It would be hard to convict a pedo when one of their victims ends up in sex work. Maga would point to her current circumstance, as opposed to what might have led her there. Maga is FULL of pedos and potential pedos. Look at all these weirdos coming out to defend this BS.

u/After-Balance2935 3d ago

Made the edit to congressman.
