Meanwhile MAGAs continue to MAGA

NEW: Meet Nathaniel Kelly, Ottawa County's newly named health officer pending state approval.

He fought mask rules, promoted unproven COVID-19 treatments and once mocked Whitmer's sign translator in a parody video.

An all-MAGA slate took over county commission there. Besides naming an ivermectin zealot to run the Health Department, they also entirely disbanded and fired the county's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion office, accusing it of producing Marxist propaganda.

"Former Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) greeted the idea with much excitement."

I wonder who wrote that since Lieberman hasn't technically been a Democrat since 2006.

― pplains, Thursday, 5 January 2023 15:52 (three years ago)

I like to think he's not much of anything tbh

xp it was one of those live blog constant update things, which i always imagine are being written by a reporter who is running and typing at the same time

Republicans sure do love talking about slavery and the ending thereof

― عباس کیارستمی (Eric H.), Thursday, 5 January 2023 17:15 (three years ago)

Yep. Remember way back when Republicans ended racism once and for all? Awesome times. We don't know what this mess is today, but it's definitely not racism because we solved that.

We'll be seeing a lot more this guy, I bet.

― Motion to adjourn to enjoy a footling (President Keyes), Thursday, 5 January 2023 17:18 (three years ago)

xp Specifically us, the Republicans, we were the ones who solved racism, which we're bringing up now because ... what was the question again?

― عباس کیارستمی (Eric H.), Thursday, 5 January 2023 17:19 (three years ago)

My sympathies to whoever on Aguilar's staff has had to write so many different versions of the Jeffries nomination speech.

LOL, pretty good self-own there by Bishop (inviting Dems to chant "Hakeem, Hakeem, Hakeem!" after saying "We could've elected the first Black Speaker of the House in history")

― عباس کیارستمی (Eric H.), Thursday, 5 January 2023 17:27 (three years ago)

well, at least the Republicans can agree that Cori Bush is a racist

The hard-right maniacs should tell McCarthy they'll all vote for him if he promises to wear a red rubber clown nose at all times when on the House floor. At this point he'd go for it.

― but also fuck you (unperson), Thursday, 5 January 2023 17:35 (three years ago)

This is going to be exactly like the 4th, 5th, and 6th votes. McCarthy has already lost 7 votes to Donalds.

― jaymc, Thursday, 5 January 2023 17:41 (three years ago)

Yeah it's already over except for the next half-hour of roll-calling. I know they can't do this, but they should just start each round with the 20 lunatics and see if any have changed before bothering with the rest.

― a man often referred to in the news media as the Duke of Saxony (tipsy mothra), Thursday, 5 January 2023 17:43 (three years ago)

Donalds either missed or skipped the vote this time around, no idea if that means anything.

― a man often referred to in the news media as the Duke of Saxony (tipsy mothra), Thursday, 5 January 2023 17:45 (three years ago)

The Freeeeedom! caucus loves this shit. They get to make speeches in front of tv cameras, the world press, and all 435 representatives and they can say whatever the fuck they like. Why would they ever want this to end?

― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Thursday, 5 January 2023 17:46 (three years ago)

lol Gaetz voted for Trump
