I wanna see a source for that quote. If it’s real, I’ll laugh my pants off

[–] green_goglin@thelemmy.club 101 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Seems to be paraphrasing:

“If we lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats — y’all, impeachment isn’t even the real concern,” the Louisiana Republican told a conservative audience on Friday. “They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they’ll go after the president’s family, the Cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted.”

The House speaker added, “I run the protection program. I’ll take care of you.”

I've heard if you deport them fast enough and send them to a nonextradition country with a supermax prison then you don't even need to make a case against them. Seems a lot cheaper for the tax payers.

If only the Democrats had that much spine.

[–] X@piefed.world 3 points 1 month ago

Hey, there’s like an infinite number of parallel universes where they do have the spine for it. Sucks we got stuck in the only one where they’re utterly useless.

schumers and the dinos only has spine for israel.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's not spine. That's AIPAC money.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

spine made of Aipac money.

lol. You think ANYTHING will happen if the dems win the midterms?

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Depends on the dems.

He’s just mad the Dems might steal their tactics

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wish. My money's on the day one agenda being to pass some mealymouthed resolution about a return to decorum or something equally pissweak.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I expect disappointment as well

[–] zeejoo@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is it disappointment if you expect it? Or is it just resentment? Eh semantics. I'm just waiting for the economic crash so people finally are uncomfortable enough to do something about all this.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Spoiler alert: the something they will do about all this will make it worse.
