Why NOT to vote Republican

[jp1]

I have no idea the details about that study but if the American public is that out of touch with reality than we deserve to re-elect trump and become a failed country.

My guess though, is that they did a poll that included 1000 republicans and 100 democrats or some such thing in order to get the desired horse race results that all the news organizations want.

The real question we should all be pondering is how did we get to the point where a president who was impeached twice for credible reasons and now under multiple indictments for some of the same credible reasons is not only remotely going to be one of our party’s nominee for President but by far the most likely nominee. There is something terribly broken in our country when 40% of the population enthusiastically supports a candidate of that (lack of) character.

“All the currently dry canals [in California] will be brimming and used to irrigate everything, including your own homes and bathrooms and everything. You’re going to be happy, and I’m going to get it done fast. They say that there’s so much water up north that I want to have the overflow areas go into your forests and dampen your forests. Because if you dampen your forests you’re not going to have these forest fires that are burning at levels that nobody’s ever seen before.”

You left out the 208 Democrats. Perhaps they'll be listed in the 'Why Not To Vote Democrat' thread?

Hilarious.

I see that one of the first actions taken by the new speaker pro tempore is to make Nancy pelosi and steny hoyer vacate their offices. So glad to see that he’s taking care of the important things first. I suppose next week maybe they’ll get on with the Hunter biden impeachment scam.

My son, who keeps up with the news, was thrilled with the vote yesterday. But, I reminded him of that famous saying, "The devil you know is better than the devil you don't know." Who knows what will happen next. It depends on who gets in--his adversaries range from Trump supporter to more moderate Republicans, but overall they opposed McCarthy's mishandling of the budget stopgap measures, which was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I wonder why they were maintaining "hideaway" offices in the Capitol building? I thought they were reserved for Senators.

It's a mystery why the Dems voted him out. Although it's probably some sort of game of thrones logic, the new guy could easily be more conservative, like Jim Jordan or another who would be more aggressive about a government shutdown next time it comes up for a vote.
