One of the double speaks an authoritarian spokesperson has to perform is the opposition is both strong and weak at the same time. Strong, so they can be blamed for anything that goes wrong, and to stoke fears in the faithful, and weak because no one is allowed to be stronger than the authority.

Nah nah nah dawg.

The antifa deep state led by Soros and his Jewish space lizards are holding the government hostage. Except Israel, those guys is cool.

And the Democrats have also made abundantly clear what the Republicans have to do in order to get their votes.

Maybe you should swear in the Democrat that Arizona elected, Mike? Since they are required.

Obviously you are imagining things the only things the Republicans have is a majority in the House and Senate, the support of the supreme Court, the White House and the richest man in the world and most oligarchs. Oh and some really crazy fascist MAGA cultists. It's practically nothing and these crazy people act like they run the government. I mean really.

Please please can we stop trying to catch their lies? ALL THEY EVER DO IS LIE. It's not a gotcha. It's pointless. Their people don't care and we all know they are full of shit. You can't beat a fascist in discourse.

Ideally, I'd love for Dems to just start taking credit for everything MAGA brags about. Since apparently the Republicans aren't in charge.

Well, not so nice this day without a spine.

MAGA doesn't care about reality, all they care about is hating those that aren't them.

What an awful, awful little man.

Did the democrats make you go to Grindr too Mike?

Mike Johnson wants to kiss boys and he's real mad about it

Republicans have never demonstrated the ability to govern in my life time.

their words mean nothing because they are all lies. only their actions matter. we shouldn't waste energy discussing their worthless words.

So, what they're saying is they've been lying about having a mandate all this time.

If you look closely you can see the sweat.

They can’t even get their own party to vote unanimously for this bill. Why do they expect the other party to at all?

AOC or Jasmine Crocket should go "Cool, if you are not in charge then I nominate myself for Speaker of the House".

Translation: If they voted yes on this bill they hate, the government would reopen. They have all the power here.

MAGA believes whatever they're told most recently, just like Trump. My Nextdoor app feed proves this to me.

"The government is reopened. Everything we democrats want is from now on in effect. If the republicans have a problem with that, they can shut down the government. You're welcome!"
