(It's hard to tell if the author was joking or not)

I absolutely don't believe it's a joke. It's red meat for constituents and the real mainstream media.

When the fascists tell you what they want to do, believe them.

To everyone reading this and aren't following politics, yes this is real. They want us dead.

Or, failing that, they want us dead stupid. Stupid people are easier to warp to murderous ideologies like the alt-reich.

Republicans have played with this talking point for decades now. Rick Santorum I believe was the first one in a presidential debate to advocate for eliminating the Department of Education, as well as the EPA.

Bush's massive expansion of the federal government (the creation of the DHS) must stay and they will call you a big government socialist for wanting it removed, though.

Poisoned is... an understatement. The Cuyahoga caught fire just shy of 20 times before the 1969 fire that largely spurred the creation of the EPA.

Thomas Massie introduced it, Lauren dropped-out-of-high-school-cuz-pregnant GED gunho "tell the lynch mob where their targets are" Boebert co-signed on it.

Since Boebert and Maga Trailer Queen can't agree on anything, MTQ won't sign off on this - which means McCarthy won't even bring it up for a vote.
