    “This don’t feel like a victory today, bro,” Bannon said, observing how Johnson’s office had directed all incoming calls to voicemail after voting took place. “When 209 Hakeem Jeffries-loving Democrats vote for something, it just doesn’t feel like a victory. I’m not feeling victorious right now. I kind of got this righteous indignation.”

    And there it is. It’s not about governing, it about ensuring that your team is beating the other team. Doesn’t matter that the government is avoiding a shutdown and essential government functions will continue to keep people alive, safe, employed, etc, because the other team voted for it, it must be bad.

      Also, nothing about Steve Bannon is righteous. He’s a piece of dog shit in the shape of a human.

      Hakeem Jeffries-loving Democrats

      Pretty sure he meant to say the N-word instead of Hakeem Jeffries

        Also, nobody* loves Jeffries. It’s his turn according to the congresswoman whose allies still control all committee assignments and who’s still one of the most effective solicitors of the legal bribes they depend on, so the rest just have to go along with it.

        *except maybe an owner donor or two.

          Citation needed. All democrats are rallying behind him so he must at least be tolerated by the majority of the party.

            That’s exactly his point, tolerated, not loved

              That’s fine. I don’t love most of my coworkers and my bosses. I tolerate and respect them, though. I don’t see why that’s a positive or negative to want to share a hotel room when traveling with your speaker.

      It’s interesting that it’s all about how he “feels”, nothing to do with facts, logic, context, or any consideration of the effects on the people who live in the U.S.

      Sensitive motherfucker, isn’t he?
