I don't think this is as stupid as it sounds. With some exceptions Democratic voters tend to punish their representatives for corruption, but republican voters never do

So you're saying she's betting that while republicans will have significantly more corruption, democrats will be the only ones punished because their voter base is the only one that actually cares? Honestly, you could very well be right about the result of a hypothetical universal ethic report release, though I'd be surprised if MTG was smart enough to think 2 steps ahead like that.
I'm shocked and slightly sickened that trollish dipshit is suggesting something I agree with. I think I need a shower now.
For once I agree with this ghoul.
"For my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate, If we are going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed, then put it ALL out there for the American people to see. Yes.. all the ethics reports and claims including the one I filed, all your sexual harassment and assault claims that were secretly settled paying off victims with tax payer money, the entire Jeffrey Epstein files, tapes, recordings, witness interviews. But not just those, there's more, Epstein wasn't/isn't the only asset. If we're going to dance, let's all dance in the sunlight. I'll make sure we do," the lawmaker said in a post on X.
Interesting, she's going the Madison Crawthorn route. Remember what happened to him? They dished up all the dirt they could find on him and hung him out to dry. This sounds noble of her, but she's using this as a threat to try to force them not to go after Gaetz, her pedophile buddy.
That is what the FBI does.
That and get paid by Russians to ruin the body politic by telling the USA that there was no trouble between Trump and Russia right before election.
Yeah, nothing wrong with that
You know what's wrong though?
Her brushing over the fact that Gaetz is a pedo rapist. You'll never hear her admit to this because the republican party never admits that they are the source of all the shit they accuse everyone of.
Fuck this waste of oxygen.
For once, I agree with this demon.
Wow, I actually agree with MTG on an issue, this is a first.
Does anyone remember back when President Bill Clinton was in office ? FOIA was an amazing moment in American politics.
Now they judges, presidents, congresscritters, and cops just say, "Nah it is too dangerous for citizens to see the government's work."
What is that ? What the fuck is that ?
Yes
I don't think that's the threat she thinks it is...
Best idea she's ever had
Don't stop at Republicans! Do Democrats and Independents, and every other party who have and are serving!
Sounds good to me?
I don't care if they are Republican or Democrat. If they are criminals, they should go to jail. Release the Epstein files and send Bill and Trump to jail.
Thats the thing I don't think they get.
"Ok, well our guy will go to jail, but so will yours!!!"
"That's fine."
"But then we BOTH lose!"
"This isn't a MAD doctrine situation. This is supposed to be more like a scorched earth situation. No corruption left behind."
And I don't think they grasp that.
What they don't grasp is that we'd send our guy to jail: because they won't.
That's the difference.
When a corrupt democrat is exposed they're expelled (bye bye Cuomo)
When a corrupt republican is exposed they're re-elected.
Thus is the difference between MAGA/republicans and everyone else
Just make them all public all the time! That'll show those fucking libs.
As a liberal I would be so fucking owned by this
Don’t pwn me bro!
Oh no. Please, stop.
Holy shit I agree with MTG
Harambe truly was this universe's anchor being, and the decay is increasing exponentially
Wow......having seen almost NONE of the other Marvel movies, I walked out of Deadpool vs Wolferine just kind of confused. Not by the plot, that was simple as shit. It was insultingly simple.
The part that confused me was "WHO IS DEMANDING THIS MOVIE???". I don't watch a lot of movies, but the ones I do watch I like to make "worth it". And everybody was going on and on and on about how great this movie was going to be once it came out. And then......
Ok, imagine going to this movie, without ANY concept about who these cameos are, who a LOT of the characters are supposed to even be, and without having seen a single previous deadpool or x-men movie before.
Yeah, movie kind of sucks now, doesn't it?
But......silver lining.....at least I was able to get the joke of a Lemmy post months after the fact.
.......yeah, I still want my $12 back.
Nah it was great, but it was a love letter to people who had watched every previous Deadpool and all the old Marvel movies. It wasn't meant to be an entry into the universe. I can understand why you didn't like it having not seen the previous, but it just wasn't made for you.
I'm kinda with you... Like, let them fight?
I think she meant this as a threat to get the party in line, but i can't see any way this doesn't blow up in their faces. If the leopards are eating leopard faces, will they notice mine..?
It's so weird to see an MTG post and... yeah... I'm over here like: LFG.
Let me stretch first. Don't want to pull anything.
This argument reveals that she thinks both sides are playing the same game. Progressives don't support corrupt leaders. MTG does.
