    "You can't fire me! What the fuck!"

    Looks around, wild-eyed

    "Gaetz is a pedophile and sex trafficker of minors!"

    Uncomfortable shifting and coughs in the House

    "She said Jewish space lasers! Pointing at MGT"

    Soft voice in the back "well...she said...sor" Trails off

    "Yeah? Well, HE'S BLACK AND DOESN'T LOVE ISRAEL!"

    Shifting sounds mixed with nodding and murmurs of "mmm, yes, that is true"

    This is all true and factual

    Bowman pled to a misdemeanor and he to pay a $1,000 fine for pulling the fire alarm. So far so normal. But then there's this high school-like thing he had to do because it's Congress...

    [He also] wrote an apology letter for the incident following the misdemeanor charge.

    Would anyone seriously object if someone threw a chair at him? The stature of the house and it's importance in world history would be more accurately reflected if there was more cussing and fighting and there was frequently literal poop.

      I'm not sure what the opinion is now, but I've always found this dude hilarious in a dark, sick way. I think a lot of people hate him and yeah if the government "worked" as it "should" ie to best serve US citizens and cooperate in good faith with other governments in the world, I'd agree he's a piece of shit.

      But in our real, actual world, he was about as close to shitting on the floor in a humorous way as we've had in a while. Gaetz also shits on the floor but unfortunately his shitting is the exact opposite of funny and any sane nation would have stripped him of assets and power like 5+ years ago. Same for Cruz and... Well, most of Congress tbh minus a dozen AT BEST.

      But anyway, I support full "rage in the cage" style WWE, head injuring, full contact, no holds barred fights to the death on the floor. It almost quite literally can't be worse than how it is currently.

      Someone would probably have to break Gym Jordan's knees though before this happened. I've heard he's actually a good wrestler, not a fake like a lot of others. (Parody, etc. no NSA, no NSA parody Minecraft)

        Frankly I don't understand peoples problem with him. He's an elected representative for long Island.

        I can not think of a better representation of the area than a wannabee toughguy cry bully that literally every single thing that comes out of his mouth is complete and total horseshit.

        They say in a democracy you get the representation you deserve, I have never seen a better example of this.

        That's before you get into the fact that if dems had of done literally any amount of oppo research they could have spent the entire campaign just highlighting his various fake personas and ran on "literally zero things this person has ever said are true"

            It's almost like they're just controlled opposition and winning elections is the last thing they want to do.

              I don't fully disagree, although in this case I think it was just a pure fuck-up based on unreasonable over confidence.

              The democrats lost the House because they constantly run to the right (and they keep doing it!) or even if they keep messaging more left-ish policy they never act on it.

              They lost "always blue" seats in NY and CA to republicans because they just ASSUMED people would always vote blue there even when democrats consistently fumbled the bag... often times, seemingly on purpose.

              The four thousand year old racist husk at the lead of the party has made the most limp wristed, halfassed gestures towards doing shit that he only halfass promised in the first place to placate dems further to his left. It's insane they think people will keep voting AGAINST the literal Nazi party forever when the alternative is voting for the Diet Nazi party. You would think some degree of self interest (suppose there's a galaxy of conspiracy to examine there) would kick in at a certain point, but goddamn.

          I think this is how the "research" went.

          "Dakota, I told them I needed some petty cash for 'research'."

          "How much did they give you?"

          "I'll put it to you this way - do you want to go to a three star restaurant or a four?"

        An additional perk is that brawls on the house floor would sort out our gerontocracy problem

        I love George Santos and hope he becomes president

          Literally can't be worse than Biden

          If we could get a VP who agrees to assassinate George if he ever supports any war without congressional approval (including sending arms overseas) and a clear like 70% of the American public then I could do this

          Also apply that VP policy to every president going forward. People love Rome shit, well, just treat our presidents like they did their dictators (under the literal original definition).

          Imagine [parody, etc.] Kamala popping Joe live on TV the 400th time he lies about beheaded babies and everyone in the crowd is just like "oh thank CHRIST what took so long?"

          I like my imagined worlds more than the real one... 😞
