Of course they would.

It's not just that they would. They did it.

I've met more mature 7 year olds.

I’d go one further and invite all Republicans to eat shit and die.

Isn't that sedition? Not to mention a violation of literally the first sentence of the House of Representatives oath of office.

i'm not as concerned about Democracy as i am anxious to start giving these traitors what they've been asking for

Jeez. I can't read the article for all the other garbage on my screen. Terrible site. 😔

Founded by abolitionists in 1865, The Nation has long believed that independent journalism has the capacity to bring about a more democratic and equitable world.

I imagine people of a certain disposition will do whatever it takes to avoid reading from this site.

May I recommend a good adblocker?

I only see the article, no garbage on my screen.

But then again, I live in 2023 and block ads on the Internet.

Stupid article written by left-wingers.

bitsplease@lemmy.ml · 25 pts · 2y

Are you arguing it's inaccurate? Because it's on video

Are you arguing it's unimportant? Because even if you think the question was unimportant, the group reaction to a question they didn't like was absurdly undignified for a group of our nations leaders

Are you arguing that their reaction was appropriate? Because I fail to see how a question asking for clarification on the new house speakers involvement in an attempt to undermined a democratic election is worthy of being booed and told to "shut up"

Seriously, beyond "I don't like it" or "it makes us look bad", what exactly is your issue with the article or it's subject?

Edit: lol, looks like the pussy literally made a throwaway to post their comment. You know your political beliefs are solid when you're terrified to have them associated with you in any way lol

Typical right-winger. No capacity to understand anything that fails to conform to your twisted world view.

The Nation is known for a left leaning bias, but that doesn't make them wrong.

Is the reaction of the politicians also written by left-wingers? All that booing and ignoring of a difficult question?

They link FoxNews itself at one point.
There's links to various other sources throughout if you had issue with any individual part of it.

Yikes. What an open mind You have.

Lol.

"I don't like what the article says so it's stupid!"

The number of supposed "adults" who peaked somewhere between 10-12 years of age always astounds me.
