To be fair, I can't imagine any government official giving up power

We know, Paul.

He was only able to shill for a fascist and a media baron.

Phrasing!

>and worry that it will normalize workplace surveillance, even when people return to the office.

This was normal before people left the office...

I love this

Is this guy attempting to crawl his way back into politics now that trump doesn’t have as much of a spotlight as he used to?

We would actually get stuff done that wasn't insane.

We are gonna see some weird shit out of the GOP. Normally, I would say that Biden's document drama was a career killer. But the GOP make it quite possible that it will be forgotten in a couple of weeks. They're disorganized, too obsessed with pleasing an insane base.

A lot of the more reasonable moderate Republicans dipped out in the middle of Trump's term when it was obvious they were going to lose a primary to a Trump-endorsed candidate if they didn't become lapdogs like Lindsey Graham did. I don't like Ryan but I'd rather have a House full of Republicans like him.

Also, credit to Maya Angelou.

That’s called reality kid. Coddling fascists and their enablers is moronic.

I have this hanging on the wall over my workstation. Truly words to live by.

Ya, you really should

Yet they are willing to vote for people who are willing to compare women to farm animals, or are openly racist, or are transphobes, or antisemites, etc etc etc.

To be a Republican in 2023 is to be either a bigoted troglodyte, or to support them (Same thing)

And woman still vote for guys like this because a lot to people are Not informed

Agreed. He was the biggest heartless Repugnican sociopath in the Congress at the time. Except for Moscow Mitch.

Lol, DEA has entered the chat

He was real hot with the beard...

Like, it was an evil beard, but he rocked it.

I think as Trump's power wanes, he is vying for a come-back. The GOP is clearly in a bit of a tizzy and you can bet we are gonna see people wrestle for control of it.

Maybe he’ll go on to create a social network

Kevin did not understand the assignment.

Making DBZ jokes when you should be making Paul Ryan jokes is violence.

Nope, that’s not even a little bit close to what I was saying.

I was just saying that not every single person who consider themselves republican thought of women as farm animals.

I can see from the downvotes that You guys disagree with that, which I find astonishing.

But then I remember this is just Reddit :-)

But effectively there's not a difference. Actions are more important that thoughts. Your friend can think whatever he likes but if he's voting for the people who do think like that and are making decisions in line with their ideas then...what makes him any different? Maybe you don't know your friend as well as you think.
