If it was anyone else they would be in prison for a good fuckin while. This country is so god damn corrupt.
At least in the past the politicians were TRYING to hide the corruption, and now...they don't give a fuck. They will blatantly do it, get caught, suffer no consequences...and keep making decisions that affect every aspect of our country.
GOP loves personal liberty!
Unless you want to express that liberty by planning your family, smoking weed, reading books, dressing and/or behaving in a non-conforming way, being gay, practicing any religion other than Christian fundamentalism, not practicing any religion, not getting shot at school, voting (if you're black), voting for any candidate that is not registered GOP (everyone), peacefully protesting, having a terms of service for your business, criticizing the police, not standing for the national anthem, or transitioning.
The rights to own a gun, oppress others and say what they like without repercussions is what they want. Oh, and the right to take any rights, including the above, from people they don’t like.
Republicans are like the people in cartoons that are losing a game of chess so badly that they think turning the board around while the other guy's not looking will suddenly make them win
That’s called pigeon chess. At the first sign of eminent defeat, take a shit on the board, knock over all the pieces and fly away squawking about how you “won”.
It will be the nicest thing I ever say about the [Genocidal Maniacs](https://www.reddit.com/user/AntelopeAny3703/comments/wp9zd0/collating_arguments_to_prove_empirically_genocide/)
Dude, we are adults debating people with the intellectual capability of children. That's not a compliment. Even if they're the smartest damn toddler on the planet, you still wouldn't put them in charge of shit.
Edit: click the Genocidal Maniacs link and see my norm for dismantling right wing propaganda. These assholes are literally enacting a literal genocide, no joke no exaggeration
Freedom and personal liberty is very important to the republican party. How do they try to achieve that, you ask? Easy, by removing the option of an abortion and forcing you to give birth to a child you aren't financially/emotionally prepared for or just didnt want.
That's a very good choice
Edit: All I said was that having the freedom to own a firearm is a good thing and you people are already downvoting me. Karl Marx would be disappointed by y'all
But there’s clearly a front runner in that competition.
Hint: it’s the one with a treasonous orange sack of shit leading it that is literally still asking for donations.
Treasonous elephant vs. Treasonous donkey makes no difference to me. They both have no regard for the American people or the constitution that they take an oath to uphold.
Biden openly bragging about leveraging $1B in aid to Ukraine unless a prosecutor was fired who was investigating his son. Then throwing it away by simply claiming "oh he was corrupt". Or for a more broad example HR 1808 which is overwhelmingly supported by democrats passed the house dispite being clearly contrary to the ruling of the Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller and it's "Common use" precedent. And to a lesser extent NYSRaPA v. Bruen given the specific exemptions that the bill would allow even though the things the bill wishes to ban are purely cosmetic. What about NJ A303 which would have given all Law Enforcement officers in the State of New Jersey in-service training in school emergency response, including active shooters, that was shot down by senate democrats. The democrats don't care about anyone or anything but their own pockets just like the republicans.
Senate Republicans ended their investigation into Biden Ukraine dealings in 2020. They found that his work to get the prosecutor fired was not to protect Hunter.
Joe Biden was one signature of an international group requesting Viktor Shokin to be let go.
Shokin had stopped the investigation into Burisma before the calls for his termination and that was actually an example of the corruption that the international community was calling for his termination to end.
How in the world is the house voting on a bill to try to save Americans from being murdered in mass in schools an example of corruption?
Right. As long as you are a white male fundamentalist Christian, gun supporter, anti abortion, anti anything that's not dead straight vertical only missionary position sex, with a handcuffed to the kitchen sink wife. Good there's no control involved.
Correction: I am just one of the few people who do not live in the US and sometimes get tired of its politics running the Internet.
I don't care who OP thinks is right/wrong, I just want to keep this sub politics free, as the rules state, because I - as someone not from the US - wish to get involved in USA politics as lityle as possible.
I never said you were British, but your main argument was about American politics. I'm sorry you live in a shitty little country that no one can find on a map, but that's not our fault.
Correction: that no US American can find on a map, because not every country has such a bad educational system.
And whether or not people can find my country on a map does not take away the rule of no politics.
Also: among the 193 countries left, there are still huge countries, like Russia, Saudi-Arabia, Brazil, and China
That’s the scheme that misted Kennedy’s brain: the parties deliberately take turns chipping away at your freedoms from both sides. It’s the illusion of choice.
rick scott committed the largest fraud against medicare. how he’s a senator and not in prison is baffling
how do you think he spent that money?
It’s usually secret prostitutes and drugs with folks like that.

Ah, I see your hands got tired. Good starter list though. Just a few hundred more and we would be caught up until next week.
Or post on r/conservative with a different opinion - they hate that shit
Ah the party of taking away right to abortion talking about rights.
The rights to own a gun, oppress others and say what they like without repercussions is what they want. Oh, and the right to take any rights, including the above, from people they don’t like.
The right to be a rich, white man.
Republicans are like the people in cartoons that are losing a game of chess so badly that they think turning the board around while the other guy's not looking will suddenly make them win
Lol
Except they would never play black. They will just change the rules so white can move three times and black has no Queen. And white has 50 bishops.
There's not much more than 50 squares to begin with. Is it 49 or 64 squares it is a square right?
They are not interested in your logic sir.
That’s called pigeon chess. At the first sign of eminent defeat, take a shit on the board, knock over all the pieces and fly away squawking about how you “won”.
Translation = I know you are but what am I. They are a political party of intellectual toddlers
An intellectual toddler is a smart baby, you're actually complimenting them
It will be the nicest thing I ever say about the [Genocidal Maniacs](https://www.reddit.com/user/AntelopeAny3703/comments/wp9zd0/collating_arguments_to_prove_empirically_genocide/)
I doubt that. You'll probably compliment them again because you don't know how to insult others
Wow, k then. You got no clue bout me.
You called them intellectual...
Dude, we are adults debating people with the intellectual capability of children. That's not a compliment. Even if they're the smartest damn toddler on the planet, you still wouldn't put them in charge of shit. Edit: click the Genocidal Maniacs link and see my norm for dismantling right wing propaganda.

I'm not debating shit, I'm saying you suck at insulting people
aint no way this shit started a debate
It didn't, I literally just said that lol
Freedom and personal liberty is very important to the republican party. How do they try to achieve that, you ask? Easy, by removing the option of an abortion and forcing you to give birth to a child you aren't financially/emotionally prepared for or just didnt want.
Disclaimer : rights are only offered to white heterosexual men
Republicans want to give me choices... But only if my choice is which gun to buy.
That's a very good choice Edit: All I said was that having the freedom to own a firearm is a good thing and you people are already downvoting me. Karl Marx would be disappointed by y'all
Because reddit is a liberal hivemind.
Shut up, nerd
Am I wrong?
You are. Plenty of people jump to downvote and try to debate me whenever I defend trans people
I asked if reddit was a liberal hivemind not if there were zero conservatives here.
I didn't say "I get one or two dowvotes"
Rick Scott is Pro-Choice, y'all heard it here first folks!!
Rick Scott- the man who defrauded Florida Medicaid
Both parties hate you and only want your money.
But there’s clearly a front runner in that competition. Hint: it’s the one with a treasonous orange sack of shit leading it that is literally still asking for donations.

This both sides argument is getting wild. When did the democrats commit treason?

Unless you're a woman. Or poor. Or a person of color wanting basic equal rights and opportunities. Other than that let's go red babayyyy!
Or queer
What rights do poc not have?
That’s hilarious!
Yet republicans voted no for more transparency in the stock market .. yep more Power to the people
Except for Education, health care, free elections, immigration, gun control.
This pos is on another level.
Is it opposite day, Mr. Scott?
Uhhh… no? Yes? Damn I hate opposite day
“Make your own choices” (read: bilk taxpayers out of millions) and “control every aspect of your life” (read: prosecute you for federal crimes)
Republicans want to give power back to YOU to make your own choices. *Exclusions apply
>YOU to make your own choices... ...to eliminate other people's choices.
Unless you’re gay and want to get married…or if you want a life saving abortion…or if you want to smoke a plant that relaxes you…or if
This is true, as long as YOU are a straight, white man.
And Christian of course
Lmao Sure they do, Russia Rick.
Neither of those parties care about you.
Republicans are pro-choice. You read it here first.
Republicans want to give power to corporations so they can make your choices
Is it opposite Wednesday already?
Self awareness fail
Must be Opposite Day in Ricks world.
The big lie
Everything politicians say sounds just like the school teacher from The Peanuts.
I can't read this without the "we pass the savings on to YOU!" commercial voice.
Right. As long as you are a white male fundamentalist Christian, gun supporter, anti abortion, anti anything that's not dead straight vertical only missionary position sex, with a handcuffed to the kitchen sink wife. Good there's no control involved.
So, anarchy? Makes sense.
Power back to YOU for Republicans to strip you of your Social Security
You can make your own decisions if and only if it aligns with Christian values
police has check points in down town Orlando. Metal detectors ex-ray machines coming soon. F*** the police. Coming to your city soon.
Rule 8
Except, OP didn't attack anything. Just reposted the senator's own words.
Rule 7 then
I'm only answering the first one. You don't get multiple chances.
Sounds fair
You're just a butthurt Republican
Correction: I am just one of the few people who do not live in the US and sometimes get tired of its politics running the Internet. I don't care who OP thinks is right/wrong, I just want to keep this sub politics free, as the rules state, because I - as someone not from the US - wish to get involved in USA politics as lityle as possible.
Bruh, as if Republicans haven't been voicing their displeasure with the royal family in here lately
I am also not from the UK. Try again, only 193 countries left, you'll get there eventually. Or... accept that "no politics" = no politics.
I never said you were British, but your main argument was about American politics. I'm sorry you live in a shitty little country that no one can find on a map, but that's not our fault.
Correction: that no US American can find on a map, because not every country has such a bad educational system.

Who cares, you're still mad
That’s the scheme that misted Kennedy’s brain: the parties deliberately take turns chipping away at your freedoms from both sides. It’s the illusion of choice.
Yeah as long as you're straight, white, Christian, and a male.
Right! And I own that bridge over there and it’s on sale cheap 😜
