    They should also be required to have an advisor that is a 5 year old child. If the 5 year old child can outsmart their plan, then a Republican probably can too.

    GOP: We see you as subhuman and want to hunt you for sport.

    Centrist Dems: That’s someone I can work with to craft bipartisan legislation that only compromises 95% of what my voters want.

      “Yes we gave ICE a $50 trillion budget for next year, but in exchange we recieved a gentleman’s agreement that the president would consider allowing the permit for 1 wind farm to be reviewed.”

      “Thereby I improved things by 5%”

      Completely illogical and quite likely something they (bipartisan) would say.

      This “progressive” vs “centrist” bullshit is a false narrative. You could describe James Talarico or Adam Hamilton as centrist, but they have more in common with Bernie Sanders than with Chuck Schumer.

      This battle is about ethics and tenacity vs corruption and fecklessness, not “progressives” vs “centrists.” Schumer clearly greases the wheels for his donors, represents the interests of AIPAC above those of the United States, and does not have the skills to lead with new ideas or stand up to would-be authoritarians. All the Democrats who represent the working people should unite to support another candidate for Majority Leader.

    I think a gun would be both a better deterrent and more effective solution. But only if the stand-behind-person(derogatory)-with-a-gun also gets the same treatment. Like those russian dolls.

      This is so Russian, like Lavrov and all the cronies for Putin are an outer shell.

      Seems like the USA is another outer for the russians these days.

      This is the problem, they will do anything painful for money.

      All you’re doing is turning into a worse kink,

      Don’t do that “Rino”/“Dino” thing. It is sadly a fact that these people are part of the democratic party, as bad as that is. everything else would be a case of a “true scotsman”-fallacy, and delay needed change. (As in: make them NOT part of the democratic party anymore)

      “Hakeem and Schumer”

      Then…

      “Hakeem and Schumer”

      Possibly “AIPAC AIPAC AIPAC”

      Then…

      “Hakeem and Schumer”

      Did you also know?

      “Hakeem and Schumer”

      But also…

          Mistakey sounds like something that’s technically a mistake but only a little bit (will incorporate this into my vocabulary).

          To be fair, if I made a hugely obvious social mistake in public, if someone shouted “mistaaaaaake!” I’d probably be annoyed, as JD is in the gif.

          If someone pronounced it as the caption describes, I’d probably still be annoyed but refocus on how someone could make that kind of mistakey.

          If someone pronounced it as “mis-stake-eh” it probably wouldn’t help in the situation but might actually cheer me up in the face of what would otherwise have been despair.

        Oh, I agree. That’s why my alt text differs from the caption.

    Why are you treating actual adults whose job it is is to represent you as being nothing but a misbehaving animal when they don’t do their fucking job.

      It’s more of the same that they did, treating each other as subhuman. The cycle continues.

    The do-nothing Democraps remind me of that song lyric from Nothing But Thieves. “Why would you wanna do good when you can feel good?”

    Like can we please get something, ANYTHING from this fucking Blue Wave?
