Why NOT to vote Republican

[bae]

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?

It appears to me that the GOP is so deeply dysfunctional at this point that they cannot do their job.

So why would anyone vote for them? Except to watch the world burn?

The impression that I get is that a not insignificant minority of them would be happier being the minority party. Then they could scream and yell and all the other performative BS they enjoy without being expected to actually govern.

I see that the kraken has kracked. I wonder how the traitor formerly known as ‘America’s mayor’ feels about that.

And now the second of trump’s attorneys who were advising him on the best ways to overthrow the government has pleaded guilty in the Georgia elections case. This one to a felony. Two down, two to go.

Finally.

The news I'm getting says they are taking a lenient sentence or order to flip on Trump. That should be interesting.

That makes sense. It probably also will help with convincing the lower level folks that participated in the conspiracy, such as the fake electors who’ve been indicted, to realize that holding out for a trial where conviction is a strong possibility is probably not in their best interest.

And now we learn that the leader of the republican party shared top military secrets with an Australian man who has spent a ton of money on trump's businesses (he only became a member at Mra A Lago after trump became president) but has since spent literally millions of dollars at Mar a Lago and elsewhere) and that that man then shared those secrets with dozens of others.

It would have been so awesome, from a literary standpoint, if Chesbro had been the last of trump’s loser attorneys to plea because ‘the Ches stands alone’ has a nice ring. Much better than ‘the runny hair dye guy stands alone’. But to paraphrase some other Republican asshole ‘you don’t get to mock the people who failed to destroy the country with the literary references you want, you have to mock them with the stupidity they decide to share with you.’

I wish Giuliani the best of health in prison so he can spend a long time there. And a supplier of alcohol so he doesn’t have to go through the DT’s.

And now I see that when republicans call a press conference they will boo rather than answer difficult questions. Such sad, thin skinned losers. All of them. Maybe if they don't want to face difficult questions about trying to overthrow the government they should, um, not try to overthrow the government.
