Prediction: Mike won't bring it to the floor for a vote.

In other news we still don't know where Mikeys money is since he has lied on all of his financial disclosures. Which should disqualify him from even holding office. But we do know he is a Christofascist piece of shit who shares his porn habits with his son, because that's totally normal.

All Mike cares is what he can do to fellate Trump. I hope his son knows about it through their app.

They probably discuss their three-way fantasies with lord trump, second coming of christ.

I know which country at least some of it came from.

Additional prediction: Mike will then begin to download insane amounts of porn out of sheer bordem instead of doing his job; compromising national security by catching all the porn viruses while also subjecting his son to his perversions.

"Bipartisan"

Fuck that. No bipartisanship. Middle ground with fascists leaves you standing on faschist ground.

As long as Republicans control the House the only way any aid bill for Ukraine or, for that matter, any bill Democrats want to pass though the House requires some level of bipartisanship which sucks yes but it is currently a necessary evil. Unless you’re a Republican and you’re referring to Democrats as fascists then lol.

Much like the recent borderbill amirite? /s

I'm truly sorry, but I simply can not afford the naivete required for this worldview.

The cost is simply too high.

is it by adults or the ones sitting over at the card tables?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

The ones at the card tables are in charge now.

"After Speaker Mike Johnson rejected the Senate-passed national security supplemental, a bipartisan group of House lawmakers unveiled a new proposal late last week to provide defense-only aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan and funds for the U.S. southern border — however, it’s not yet clear if GOP leadership will consider it,”

Dutch auction from the Uniparty

Yeah! The Democrats should just bring it to the floor in the house and pass it with their minority!

but but but bipartisanship is reasonable /s.

[-] Jaysyn@kbin.social 5 points 8 months ago

Trump doesn't want this to happen, so the party he has kompromat on also doesn't want it to happen.

[-] Vorticity@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I keep thinking that if things get shitty enough in the house, the centrists will start cooperating with each other again and we'll start getting some sanity back. Maybe it will just go the route of the right going down in flames and dragging us all with them, though.
