That is exactly why it happened and why we can expect more of it. You liked it. A ton of people liked it. It was widely condemned publicly but everyone was drawn in.

That was my thought exactly, well said. AOC and the others did themselves no favors by letting themselves get pulled down to her level. All it did was allow Fox News to end their segment on all that stupidity with a tagline about AOC being out of control. This is all so obviously a concerted attempt at developing a controlling plutocracy by destabilization of the machinery of government. Too bad so many are like the frog being boiled alive that this has a very good chance of succeeding. I mean it's been going on since the Reagan years and the first big tax cuts of the "trickle-down" years, but it has certainly accelerated under Trump and the current crop of Republican governance. And it's the biggest existential threat to our society and way of life we've seen in the modern era.Personally, I don’t like people getting into the mud with MTG. She’s part of the obstructionist party that began with the tea party. They aren’t there for policy. She isn’t there to govern. She’s there to prevent governing. This benefits the rich primarily and those already cynical about government working for normal people secondarily. Like Mike Lee, She campaigns on government being broke and exploits her constituents’ anger and then spends every term proving that government can’t work.
So let her get her Fox News hit, that’s what MTG, Bobo and Gaetz want and then act like the adult and insist that we get to government work. Her drooling constituents addicted to Facebook and Fox News won’t see it but the rest of us will see that Democrats are the adults in the room.
Oh, I don’t know. I can NOT want to see it devolve into that, yet STILL laugh at MTG when it does. Seems like I can blame Trump for the way politicians deliver highly personal insults these days. He never stops that “tactic”, and now it’s become endemic. Can’t say I ever asked for that; now it’s either name calling, or you dropped the ball for your side. I never asked for that. Not once in my life did I wish for that. BUT, I can laugh.That is exactly why it happened and why we can expect more of it. You liked it. A ton of people liked it.

Besides, when one is sick and tired of seeing Greene’s self serving, self absorbed, nonsense, sure, I’ll laugh when I see such a perfectly spot-on description of her. Does not mean, certainly doesn’t mean, that I want screaming matches and insults to be the new norm in House debates.That is exactly why it happened and why we can expect more of it. You liked it.

I mean we know they do this ****. Hell look at the legal version called "shrinkflation" that's still just as scammy. Unfortunately we live in a plutocracy so nothing will happen. On top of that the oil industry is making more profit than they have in the history of the industry. Insanity rules. Society be damned.
I don't think I spend anywhere close to $2,100 in gas per year. I might spend $80 in gas per month on a heavy driving month. My wife has a much farther commute so she spends more but I doubt she spends $2,100 a year. Together we might get there.
Ya I have a gas guzzler and I spend about 40 bucks a month on gas in the non fishing months and like 140 in the fishing months. Which doesn't at up to that much.I don't think I spend anywhere close to $2,100 in gas per year. I might spend $80 in gas per month on a heavy driving month.

So anyway, this sounds like a made-up number. Brings the entire thing into question and looks like Facebook BS.
Yep. Which is why it was nice to see some caps on some medicine and on concert ticket fees. Also airlines have to reimburse for flights being cancelled and changed on short notice now. Also saw that in California that cruise lines have to advertise the actual price with port fees and stuff included.I mean we know they do this ****.

The issue for me isn’t MTG. She’s a moron who just lives for Fox News hits. It’s the rubes in her district that would rather watch a monkey eat their own vomit and throw feces at others than a legislator that’ll improve their lives with solid well thought out policy. That’s the core of the issue. So many Americans are bored with their lives and are now seeking identity, entertainment, and/or meaning with electing “culture warriors” to wage war on fellow Americans. I’m not sure how we dig ourselves out of this mess seeing how the problem will only get worse with increasing dependence on technology (AI), communities becoming more segregated, local media disappearing, and religion becoming more politicized and irrelevant.Besides, when one is sick and tired of seeing Greene’s self serving, self absorbed, nonsense, sure, I’ll laugh when I see such a perfectly spot-on description of her.

Disgusting. This country is going to implode.

Jesus I've seen a bit of footage of Biden lately and he looks like he's escaped the set of a new Thunderbirds film. When I see him I can't help but think of the last days of Boris Yeltsin.
Actually after watching that I'd trust Boris with the nuclear briefcase above the other two.
Ahh back when post Soviet Russia was fun.
Yeah the good old days, remember them? You could leave your doors unlocked, cause you had **** all worth stealing. The good old days. You could die from Polio in the good old days. I miss the good old days...
