RE: https://mastodon.social/@DebErupts/117593787918866395 Both Jordan and Scalise are detestable. Jordan’s election as Minority Leader is a slightly more overt and blatant show of the Republican Fascist Party’s commitment to fascism.

@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social It might help the Dems attract the occasional vote from Republicans who don’t want to sink further down in the mire.

@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social Scalise might have been a smidgen more competent at managing a minority caucus. Jordan will hog the spotlight, keep his fascism and bigotry front and center, and, I suspect, will see a constant stream of defections on critical votes. Given the choices at the shit-sandwich buffet, I think the Rs chose "well" for us.

@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social They doubled down on MAGA after being trounced in the midterms.

@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social And they are promising to be such obstructionists already. Everyone who's saying we shouldn't invest time in accountability can sit down right now.
