    In Oregon today, 10 Republican State Senators who, in 2022, walked out for 6 weeks to deny a quorum, were denied the right to run again for their seats by the state Supreme Court, in accordance with the law passed by the voters in 2021. Sweet.

    • @Rookiebatman
      @Rookiebatman Před 4 měsíci

      If Republicans had their way, the rule would be "no Democrat-appointed SCOTUS judges within four years of an election." The proof of that is, multiple Republican Senators said they would do everything they could to hold the seat open for Hillary's entire term if she won.
      It had nothing to do with the proximity to the election or their dishonest claims about the "Biden Rule" (which was just a random speech he gave, never an established rule, and it was a speech about how they shouldn't confirm a nominee until after the ELECTION, not the INAUGURATION). It was always just about power at all costs, and they knew they could never get that as long as the Supreme Court was controlled by rational, fair-minded jurists (or even just biased conservatives judges who still sometimes ruled based on the merits of the law instead of their personal biases).

      They keep talking about succession and civil war over the border in Texas.
      I was worried at first.
      But then I realized that it would be the shortest state succession and civil war in history because:
      Does Texas have an Air Force?
      Does Texas have battlefield drones?
      Can we say, boom?
      Does Texas have a navy?
      Can we say , every port blockaded?
      ( No oil in , no refined product out.)
      Does Texas have it's own money?
      Where will groceries and medicines come from?
      When the National Guard is federalized and the 101st Airborn army shows up , does anyone really think the DPS, who couldn't even stop a single school shooter in Uvalde, is going to stop them?
      And does a DPS officer really want to die for Greg Abbott and Don the fraud Con and sexual predator ( Trump org and E. Jean Carroll )?
      And if Mexico decides to back up the U.S. armed forces, can Texas fight a 2 front civil war?
      And if Abbott and MAGA accepts Russian aid or Ruskie boots on the ground, that would make them traitors, wouldn't it?
      Has Abbott and His Red State Governor buddies really thought this through?
      And those out-of-state backups, sent from red states , do y'all want to die for Greg Abbott and DJT?
      And consider this: all the migrant invasion is coming through one park in Eagle Pass, Texas to America?
      MAGA posturing and political theater is what this is.
      Hey, wealthy Americans, quit buying cartel drugs.
      Hey, American businesses, quit hiring and exploiting cheap migrant laborers .
      Hey, all y'all MAGA house Republicans, pass a coherent migrant farmworkers program , allowing needed workers to cross back and forth over the border for farm and ranch work.
      In fact, just pass a bill and a budget not tied to helping Putin or posturing in faux impeachment hearings.

    Seth is expressing the encroaching wave of reality that is progressively steamrolling the looney right in epic style.
    As a Canadian who sees comedy as an essential part of culture, I appreciate Seth is at the top of his game at this - literally - pivotal moment.

    What's with Senator Lankford's face in that clip? When I first saw this I had a Max Headroom flashback. I'm really glad to see that some GOP are standing up to Trump. It took long enough.

      Thank you! I can't get over how many of the GOP leaders are really REALLY bizarre looking. Lankford, Trump, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Dan Patrick (TX), John Kennedy (LA), Ted Cruz, little wax boy Jared Kushner...
      What is going on with the GOP gene pool?

      south dakota- much of it- is legally native american land.
      the US is illegally occupying it.
      they need more real muricans up there to fend off the rightful owners.
      ...
      ok, i'm bullshitting here.
      i know large parts of 5 or so states are legally theirs, i don't know how much of south dakota is.
      Mount rushmore is, but i know that;'s in North dakota.
      maybe that's why they're so scared of illegal immigrants, because much of the west is in fact land where we are the illegal immigrants.
