I just read that "rank and file Republicans" are now pressuring McCarthy to promise he'll

impeach President Biden. This should hammer home a fact that we somehow keep managing to avoid: "rank and file Republicans" are now---in a nutshell---terrible Americans.

They no longer support true democracy and are willing to blindly and violently support any loudmouth bully who will promise to persecute and punish the "different" folks and anyone who dares to truthfully name them cowardly racist bigots and misogynists.

We should never pass up an opportunity to piss on a Republican---unless they're on fire.

Dems could have elected Mother Teresa for President and Republicans would have set impeachment in motion when they captured the House.

It would be prudent to truly assess the situation first.
1. Be sure there is actually "fire" involved.
2. Make sure there is no potential hazard nearby (gas can, bottle of Ripple, etc.)
3. Be sure that there is no potential 'victim' nearby that would complicate a rescue attempt.
4. Again, really check to see if it is an actual fire, sometimes people buy those 'comic/magic' things at Trump rallies.
5. Ask the 'flaming person' if they would like help - or would you possibly be denying that person of the 'freedumb of choice' by doing something/anything to help put out what just may be a fire.
6. If, by some chance, under the screams of pain and agony, the person does indeed admit that there just may be a situation where you could help, please, by all means, 'drop trou' and cast your vote for FREEDUMB!
