Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The big brain move here is to elect Donald Trump as the new Speaker and impeach their way to the oval office.

[–] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 41 points 2 years ago

That would be absolutely nuts!

Death to America

Please God let this happen. No House Rep can dare vote no to Trump.

Genuinely curious to see who they find as a replacement. GOP House Speaker is an absolutely thankless gig and I can't imagine anyone with a lick of sense is lining up for the position.

honestly it'd be cool if they got trump up there

[–] daisy@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago

Perhaps some swaggering glory-hound grifter who really doesn't care about getting anything actually done.

Fortunately there's none of those types around!

Gaetz should do it. He represents core GOP values as well as those of the establishment Democrats. epsteingelion

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Bring in Kevin Sorbo. I want more opportunities to mock him.

[–] coeliacmccarthy@hexbear.net 43 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Bobby_DROP_TABLES@hexbear.net 42 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is Gaetz still getting investigated for pedo shit or did that sort of just fall off?

The mad lad actually did it. Lmfao.

So what're the dems hoping to get out of this? Besides yet another way to do nothing I mean

[–] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Surely the Democratic party isn't still running the same play they did in 2016 and hoping to boost their numbers by pushing the Republicans further right. Obviously that was bad, so they would never do that again right

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

It is a pretty funny bit to plead for 'respectable' republicans and then help the right fringe of the republicans depose someone for compromising.
