Why NOT to vote Republican

[jp1]

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

Leadership gets offices there. And past leadership has traditionally gotten to keep their offices there.

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.

Is it really a mystery? Kevin has done nothing for the Dems. They have bailed him out twice now and he didn’t keep his promises from the first time. How many times did he expect them to keep bailing him out? He was a weak speaker. He deserved to fail so spectacularly. Hopefully next November the rest of the sad sore loser party follows in his and the party’s sad sack leader’s footsteps.

I could subscribe to the be careful what you wish for theory and how a weak speaker could be to the dems advantage. It will at least throw the GOP into chaos for a while.

Yes. The republicans are certainly in disarray currently. I’m not wishing for any of this. Or much of anything the republicans have done since 2016. They were bad enough before then but they have definitely upped their game to assholes on steroids at this point. Unfortunately for all of us rock bottom tends to be a whole lot lower than anyone ever thinks it is so we probably have a while to go before sanity prevails and they rebuild into a respectable political party again.

And yet the republicans don’t seem to realize they’ve hit rock bottom. So they probably haven’t. Addiction, in this case to a horrible, destructive party leader, is a terrible thing that gets much worse than rational people can understand. In my life I’ve watched three friends self immolate from addiction. Sadly all three of them only hit rock bottom by dying. I hope the Republican Party realizes they’ve hit bottom before that point because god help our country if they don’t.

“Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from, and we know they come from prisons. We know they come from mental institutions and insane asylums. We know they’re terrorists. Nobody has ever seen anything like we’re witnessing right now. It is a very sad thing for our country. It’s poisoning the blood of our country. It’s so bad, and people are coming in with disease. People are coming in with every possible thing that you could have.”

I realize he needs the Nazi vote to even remotely have a chance of winning but all the non nazi’s still supporting him are going to be judged accordingly by the rest of us.

I see President Biden is waiving a couple of dozen environmental laws to build a border wall in Texas.

I see that failure trump’s party continues to try and deflect from the idiocy and evilness that he espouses.

At what point will the house republicans realize that not a single one of their members is capable of getting 217 votes from republicans alone? And what will they do about it?
