Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

The Democrat party is unable to man up and deal with losing an election....and has a kill list of the people who won the election.

Maybe go back to the old standard of trying to make Donald Trump a 1 term President?

Even Krazen is losing steam. His trolling is nowhere near as good as it used to be

Literally AOTA to varying extents. The ones I have the biggest axes to grind about are 1., 4., 6. (I don't talk about it much because I think more than enough people already are, even if they're doing it in a way that's often insufferable), 8., and 10., so those are the ones I voted for, although with 1. I'll note that the inequalities involved predated the recession and have survived beyond its alleged end.

Near autistic Partisan hacks who cant handle accepting any blame for anything.  Id say the responses in this thread are a pretty good indicator of how prevalent that cancer is.

That's a horrible accusation to make about autistic people.
