Best line:

"Actually, that's not complete reporting, Olivia. I have a source that tells me it's the Wrong Every Time Floor Action Response Team – WETFART. The #WETFART team is a loud and slippery crew. Beware."
- I prefer the Senate/House Action Response Team.
  
  Never trust a FART.
"Quick! The Democrats are about to pass student loan relief! DEPLOY THE FART AND CLEAR THE CHAMBER!"
Matt Gaetz is probably one of the chief FART pushers. And I bet MTG is one of the leaders of it's companion group, Conservatives United: ~~Next Tuesday~~ National Trust
- Give Marge some credit, she probably plays a mean ass-tuba as well. It’s hard to tell though, they all just point the finger at one another as soon as anyone hears one squeak out.
  
  I hear she only eats red meat so I'm sure she makes everyone's eyes water.
  
  That's why she's known as "Empty Gee"
This is the Canadian Reform Alliance Party all over again...
- Or the Steven Harper International Terminal

This has to be intentional, right?

Like if they’d name it anything else no one would mention it or remembered it.
- No I 100% believe they just fucked it up like that because they’re goddamned morons.
  
  Nice work, Florida, Colorado, Georgia, et. al.
  
  Can confirm, Florida is full of morons. I used to live in Melbourne Florida, and the local bus service is the Space Coast Area Transit. It took me a while before I noticed what the acronym should be, and it's pretty obvious why I never saw it used anywhere. It was an accurate description of their public transit, too.
- This is from the 'serious party', the 'adults in the room'. SMH.
  
  That hasn’t been true in decades.
- It's hard to know. On the one hand, they're children. On the other hand, they're fools.
- Imagine they went with something Conservative Ultra Managers or something else even more insane..
  
  Conservative Ultra Nationalist Transphobe Shield
They should be careful, they might try to mobilize the FART but instead get the Special House Action Response Team.
I bet a bunch of them are Feminism Appropriating Radical Transphobes too.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously sure have come to a middle.
They had to have known... Fast Action Response Team is an old-ass fart joke and all they did was change Fast to Floor.
- They're pretty dumb though.
- I tried to sneak it in at a suggestion meeting a few years ago but it's just paying homage to a classic. Bravo good peoples, carry on (being awful i assume?).
I preferred Father's Against Rude Television. They are the original FARTers. This new fangled group are nothing but posers.
- I understood that reference 😂
I guess they got the attention they wanted.
Never trust a FART
These guys were so upset they FARTed?
