He’s only 99% evil! Unacceptable!

Our extremist left-wing plan is working! [evil cackle]

Let the face eating continue unabated.

“licking Mr. Johnson to find out how he tastes”

Like Gold Bond and old Kraft singles, I’d wager.

Given the utter fear/animosity maga-repubs for anything Democratic party, i’ve gormlessly mused on a silly concerted effort there could be to have easily recognizable congressional Democrats occasionally whispering extendedly into the ear of various chaos-caucusers “hey who do you like in the world series? …etc etc [blather]” then smile and pat them on the back. Get that event video’ed and posted on Xitter-or-where-ever. It really would mess them up. …ah well, that’s not playing fair, now is it?

Just pass something that lets the federal government function as is for a year(which is unfortunately missing the needed aid for other countries) and then let him fall and the infighting continue from now on as far as I care.

@frauenfelder

he wants to make America like a place called the Divine Republic of Gilead, where men are in charge and women spend a lot of time worshipping on their knees.

Lie down with dog, get fleas. Especially when you are a dog yourself.

The minute he tries, he’s getting bounced. Expect temporary fixes until the GOP is voted out of a majority in the House.

@frauenfelder

He doesn’t seem to think the same way they do about people of different races

He hates everyone equally?

@frauenfelder

Mr. Johnson was agreeing with what Democrats

Wait, I thought only us leftists were supposed to be the groupthink following sheep and republicans were the party of freedom and liberty. It’s only ok if your groupthink is right-aligned?

Don’t worry. Matt Gaetz knows what to do, and he’s not afraid to do it.

To quote Nurse Murch, “my, that was quick”.

@frauenfelder

Someone even asked if Mr. Johnson might be a secret Democrat!

This wasn’t what I meant when I said that right wing Democrats were conservative.

[danimagoo]

Or, take the Doctor’s approach

Looks tired

Pedro Gonzalez…sounds like he’s got some interalized hatred going on if he’s putting his lot in with the white supremacist party.

[AverageLiberalSlatie]

That moron was on Ari Melber’s program last night trying to say with a straight face that he “works with Democrats all the time.”

I snarfed out some of the water I was drinking and Ari’s face said what he believed of that.

[nick_warr]

I suppose he could claim that since his job is in the HoR, and there are lots of Democrats in the HoR, he does technically “work with” Democrats.

The article doesn’t link to this bbs discussion. Does anyone here have the access to fix it?

Q&A on Non-Moderation Matters (Mechanics, How-To, etc.)

I’ve noticed a lot of people asking general questions about how to do certain things on the BBS or how certain aspects of the BBS work on the General Moderation Topic, but I think that we can all agree that this is not the best thread to do so. And so, I have taken it upon myself to create a topic for just such a purpose so that we can keep the General Moderation Topic dedicated to moderation-related matters and public executions. @orenwolf , feel free to shift any general Q&A posts here and/or…
