Note, the measure to go after the vice presidents salary fell short, but 106 House Republicans 48% of the GOP conference voted for the effort.

If I were her, I'd put out a press release tomorrow stating
'Since the next election, and probably the one after that are going to be about whether we walk into the future as the world's greatest democracy, or fall into fascism, I'd be HAPPY to do this job FOR NO PAY for the next 4 years, and frankly, so would Joe Biden (after all, he has all of Hunters illegal money sitting in a cayman islands bank account waiting for him to retire LOL!)
So, go ahead and not pay me. Democracy is important enough that I'll do this job for free. And while youre at it, ask the MAGAs if theyd will be willing to say the same thing.'
Fuck You,
Kam.

(7,030 posts)Liberals protest a neo-fascist speaker invited to speak on a college campus or write letters to the editor to criticize a column by a MAGA commentator. The GOP goes after your job, your funding, tries to overthrow an election and invalidate more than 80 million votes cast for Biden in 2020.

If the country had defunded Mike Pence and sent him into early retirement, no one would have noticed.

(43,290 posts)They have the majority in the house so why are they wasting their time with stupid shit like this? They could be passing legislation to fix the things they whine about like the southern border. They have no fucking clue how government works.
Think. Again.

the lives of the VP and Speaker during the 1/6 coup attempt?
Keep it very clear in your minds, folks: the MAGA-GOP wants to behead the government of the USA. Marge the she-thug participated then and shed love to do do it again.
