DarthAragorn 10/04/23 3:36:44 PM #35:	The thing about that rule is that it could theoretically be read as they only have to step down if indicted while they're in the party leadership role. So Trump, who's already had his multiple indictments, wouldn't be required to step down unless indicted again. That or since they're republicans and there are no rules for republicans they just ignore it because they're fuckbags. Trump wouldn't have the votes to be speaker anyway though so it's irrelevant right now. --- Asus ROG Strix Z790-E \| Core i9-13900k \| 64GB DDR5-6000 \| RTX 4090 24GB Dell AW3423DW QD-OLED - 1440p Ultrawide, 175hz, GSync <cite>DarthAragorn posted [p:976475401] in MTG and ot...

It's lack of intelligence and lack of concern about actually important issues all in one demographic of Americans. It's been a long time coming. The lunacy of the GOP isn't a sudden think, it's entirely their end goal with news propaganda and their attacks on education. Think of it as the overturning of Roe.

If one were to look at the past history, you know it's exactly what they were working toward. Yeah, the passing of time will do that, but it's just weird when Fox's crap was seen as comedy by most people I knew, Republicans included, at the time of Obama's election. Now I don't want to do any clicking or viewing to support that machine that must have a good pull on dumbfucks flipping through stations. The 2016 election I could have chalked up to the GOP capitalizing on Democrats' complacency and the growing notion of how evil the "Democratic establishment" is, such that they were able to convince a large amount of Americans it was just voting for the lesser of two evils. But to perpetuate the deception, the way they can persist in getting people to care over the dumbest crap, like Hunter Biden and the notion that many Republican figures' corruption finally catching up to them must be a witch hunt, is extremely frustrating. So excuse the generic rant, but every time I see relevant people act like Trump has any legitimacy for a governmental position, despite a number of prohibitions in place suggesting otherwise and no matter what shit comes out about him, it kills my faith in impressionable voters that much more. <cite>LoZguy709 posted [p:976477240] in MTG and ot...

What happened in the last 10-15 years that we have so many shit-for-brains people as part of the voting demographic that a suggestion like this is taken with any dose of seriousness? People that support MTG and Trump are a really special kind of stupid, and it often feels like there's nothing that can be done to stop the rise of ignorant pricks having such significant political sway in this country. Fox News happened. They kept getting worse and worse because they were never held accountable for their blatant lying and partisan bullshit. They went to court and argued they were entertainment and not news and a judge bought it. They created a craven beast of an audience and lost control of it so they they just kept going farther to feed the beast. <cite>Nunyobidness posted [p:976477416] in MTG and ot...

Right, kind of what I was getting at with the last post, only Fox didn't JUST happen. What has changed is the legitimacy so many actually attach to it. And again, much of me wants to go back and blame reality TV for making politics into just another game / drama show for so many spiteful Americans. Fox News, especially as it currently exists, is basically an example of trash-tier TV spilling into political programming, instead of keeping idiots pre-occupied by the Apprentice or Desperate Housewives or whatever they were watching beforehand. <cite>LoZguy709 posted [p:976477617] in MTG and ot...
