It's a risk he's willing to take.

They're going to Out-Brannigan, Zap Brannigan at this pace.

Yup (from the same article)

I do well believe if Schumer finally decided a shutdown was worth it, then he's got good polling saying the public is blaming Republicans increasingly. If this goes on until Thanksgiving, Christmas, it'll have major impacts across the country and will actually start taking full points off our economic growth rate. The GOP seems to want to double down with thousands of layoffs. I do not think this will end well for them.

A sacrifice he's willing to make.

Why would Mike Johnson, Christian Leader of the Pro Life Party, care about Dead Kids?

So now she's worried, because it affects her directly
I'd wager that she'll still vote Republican next time anyway
Whostosay@sh.itjust.works · 24 pts · 306d
Did we confirm she voted for this? I can confirm her kids didn't.
Either way she raises a great point that this slimy motherfucker could immediately change thousands if not millions of lives by having just a tiny bit of empathy and we all got to see that he'll slither out of that responsibility and lie to everyone's face just to keep doing evil shit.
Looks like a dub to me

What the hell is this
PunnyName@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 304d
Something that people in power believe, unfortunately.

Kids dying? I don't think you could say anything else that would make a Republican orgasm faster.
PunnyName@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 305d
Well, that depends. Is he also fucking that child?
ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one · 4 pts · 305d
What about fucking the corpse of a child killed in a school shooting?

Don’t get these guys too excited.

Us veterans are suckers and losers. What did she expect?
Fuck this administration. Even the psycho MTG is calling them out. That should tell you something.
b3an@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 305d
Right? I never ever would have expected MTG to do anything except shill for Trump. I still think she’s a giant piece of shit, but she smells slightly less now.

He’d rather jerk off with his son than think about a pleb

Mike will not care.
