I can’t believe the following is an unironic Bluesky joke and not a joke made by a Hexbear. It is a thing of beauty.
Read the Constitution aloud to them. Then read the January 6 report. Then read Adam Schiff’s warning about what Trump would do if he wasn’t convicted at his first impeachment.
Then read out the Hamilton Script. Then read Michelle Obama’s autobiography.
Damn, I remember caring about the Adam Schiff thing. Shows how far I’ve come in 5? years or so. Embarrassing to admit that, but I feel like more people should be honest about their past liberosity.
Where’s a good spot to start with cspan? I hear the early seasons are rough but I don’t want to miss plot? No spoilers plz
i wouldnt worry about it, none of the last seasons ever seemed to matter and they they dont care about the continuity
It is pretty clear the writers have given up.
I don’t know. I gave up a few episodes into season 2. I thought Parliamentary Procedure was only a double episode. I didn’t realize it’s the theme of the entire season.
The Howard Stern’s Penis crank caller arc is peak season 4.
Wherever you start, make sure to watch the sub. Lots of people swear by the dub, because that’s what they grew up watching, but it doesn’t capture the raw emotion or the original vision on the way the sub does imo.
She’s gonna beat the Parliamentarian to death with a stapler?
It’s Bernie with a metal— I’m being told in my earpiece that the Parliamentarian said metal chairs are unconstitutional. A pity.
What is The Parliamentarian?
The person who said “that’s against the rules” to doing universal healthcare.
Non-meme answer: it’s a position appointed by the majority party for a chamber of congress that determines the rules of procedure. So if someone were to just walk up to the front and interrupt another person proposing a bill, the parliamentarian would decide if the rules were broken and what the consequences should be.
The position has been used to stifle bills, like what happened recently with immigration reform. Supposedly, the democrats didn’t properly submit their changes to a bill on immigration, so the parliamentarian said they’d have to submit a different bill if they wanted the changes to happen. At the time, the parliamentarian was a democrat “”“acting against”“” her own party. Really, it was a way for democrats to pretend like they were doing something without actually doing anything, since they could just appoint a different person or ignore the parliamentarian altogether since it’s not an official position.
We can lecture our way through fascism if only we lecture enough!
That makes sense. The democrats aren’t interested in winning elections. They want to win arguments and be morally superior.
And keeping getting that sweet sweet corporate scrilla.
She has achieved the Platonic ideal of liberal protestation: ineffective, powerless, and most importantly, in a time and place impossible not to ignoreHave to remember that one of the functions of the Democratic party is to co-opt leftwing movements. She knows just how ineffective she is, but her goal is to make it seem there are still people in government that will protect the average person who would otherwise be radicalized against the system.
Amy, in the halls of Congress is actually the perfect time to throw a stapler at someone’s head.
Will Trump subvert democracy? Is the constitution dead? Or will the people prevail? Tune in next week to find out!
