    This system is a pile of shit.

    If you get into office and change your tune to the opposite of what you ran on, we have to primary you? Shouldn’t that be cause for removal in its own? You work for me, idrgaf what your opinions are.

      John Fetterman is also a piece of shit.

      Edit: you said pile while I only mentioned piece. He certainly is multiple pieces so apologies for not piling on.

      “(…) the Senate ruled in 1798 that senators could not be impeached, but only expelled (…)

      In other words: they are generally more immune than the president.

      What a fun flavor of democracy the US has.

      The U.S. really need a party whipping system closer to that of the UK; the current system lets candidates drastically switch platforms after being elected without any short-term consequences.

        Eh, the issue is in my opinion that one side harshly whips their side into holding rank until recently, and the other does nothing.

      If you get into office and change your tune to the opposite of what you ran on, we have to primary you?

      You have to wait six years, and then you get to primary.

      This is because the Founding Fathers, in all their wisdom, determined that loud patriotic farting noises

      @stermy4u He and the rest of them should be removed. But since rich criminals are killing this country, it won’t happen for generations.

      Does anyone have the source video for this gif? I seem to recall he’s a stand up comedian but I don’t know his name or the context, and I wonder about it every time I see it.

        Donald Glover

        If I’m not mistaken it comes from his comedy special : Weirdo

        I cannot stress enough : listen to Atlanta and Redbone

    How does one stumble across townflex? A ‘global news, breaking news, entertainment news, financial insights, music review, and lyrics breakdown’ company based out of Ghana with a single employee.

    This “reporter” has no existence that I can find outside of this website. No photo, but she does have a green checkmark beside her name on her reporter profile page though. Townflex verified, I guess.

    There’s very little chance that this site isn’t AI regurgitation of real reporting.

    Edit: answered my own question. This user is from this website and seems to be here exclusively to promote it.

    He’s leaving because he has no chance of ever running as a democrat again and winning a primary, so he is trying to make a show of it. He decided to leave a long time ago, this is his attempt at stagecraft.
