“This don’t feel like a victory today, bro,” Bannon said, observing how Johnson’s office had directed all incoming calls to voicemail after voting took place. “When 209 Hakeem Jeffries-loving Democrats vote for something, it just doesn’t feel like a victory. I’m not feeling victorious right now. I kind of got this righteous indignation.”
And there it is. It’s not about governing, it about ensuring that your team is beating the other team. Doesn’t matter that the government is avoiding a shutdown and essential government functions will continue to keep people alive, safe, employed, etc, because the other team voted for it, it must be bad.
Hakeem Jeffries-loving Democrats
Pretty sure he meant to say the N-word instead of Hakeem Jeffries
Also, nobody* loves Jeffries. It’s his turn according to the congresswoman whose allies still control all committee assignments and who’s still one of the most effective solicitors of the legal bribes they depend on, so the rest just have to go along with it.
*except maybe an owner donor or two.
Turns out, it’s not so easy to start a fascist theocracy with democracy still in place.
