119th Congress or Red Wave In Adult Land

[sturg33]

I agree. I mocked Gaetz at the time because it was very clear there wasn’t a plan. But I don’t disagree with ousting people who don’t do their job.

They never had the numbers to pull such a stunt. No strategy, which was made clear as soon as Gaetz endorsed Scalise.

McCarthy was no good. But he was at least beholden to a very slim majority and support for the job. He negotiated the 72 hour rule, which Johnson is abandoning. As well as the 1% automatic spending cuts - which Johnson is forfeiting. Not mentioning the fact that McCarthy was a force in fundraising.

Not saying Johnson is a bad guy or McCarthy is good. But there was no upgrade here. And they wounded themselves badly in the process.

No Republican speaker can win because the crazies control the party. If they can't be in power they want to not fund it causing a shutdown until they get the Presidency. They think the public will blame Biden for not giving them everything they want rather than blame Republicans for acting like toddlers at a store when their momma won't buy them a candy bar. House Republicans know that's a recipe to get slaughtered in the next election and that leaves them in an impossible situation.

[sturg33]

And there it is - Upgrade at speaker.

Someone that has been against Ukraine funding and knows the 2020 election was stolen.

BUH BUH BUH GAETZ!!!

BUH BUH BUH MAGA!!!

Maybe leave strategy to people that don't try to conclude about things in the short term.

Idiots.

I wonder if the person constantly bragging about real time judgement might apologize for calling people idiots who correctly pointed out the stunt would do nothing outside of negative consequences

Every single person sucks and changes. He already was an upgrade for McCarthy because McCarthy was the absolute worst. But Johnson still is a piece of ****.

CIA has compromising information on almost all of DC.

The “would” is little bitch republicans quitting. But sure keep going with that narrative.

But sure - the guy who said the polls would magically flip after RDS dropped out is the one to talk.

Guess I shoulda known better!

Negative consequences = little bitch republicans quitting. Let’s blame MAGA!

Idiots

A shrewed move by Gaetz. Strategy like we've never seen.

Not only has MAGA overseen declines in President's, Senators, Congressmen, Governors, and state legislatures, but now they took a step further and ushered in declines of *already elected seats*

Strategery!

Guess Gaetz should have realized the eGOP are little bitches and would hurt the country over actually stopping the left.

But uiu go ahead and cheer it on.

Not cheering it on, was just wondering if your real time judgwment may have been wrong?

Not the most strategic move, as I warned at the time.

Now we continue to suffer the consequences of MAGA politicians who suck at doing anything right.

[thethe]

I didn’t foresee the eGOP acting like little bitches helping the communists gain more power so yes my real time judgement sucked in this instance.

Happens to the best of us

Shows more about eGOP than it does MAGA to be honest. These people quitting are selfish assholes who are intentionally damaging the House.

Republicans have preferred to be in the minority always so they can complain about how bad it is, fundraise and do nothing about it.

What does it show about MAGA Mike?

[Garmel]

What does it show about MAGA Mike?

That he's too much like his predecessors.

[Garmel]

All the ones quitting are RINOs. You can't blame that on Mike.

They took their ball and went home because they couldn't get their way.

[cajunrevenge]

Thats why they are quitting. Their entire idealogy has been co-opted to mean "kisses Trumps ass". And by that standard they sure as hell are RINOs. They have always been the same person. They didnt change. The Republican party changed making them RINOs by the crazy standard. They arent really RINOs they are just not MAGA cult members. I dont even need to look it up to know that all them have voted with Republicans over 90% of the time. But that aint good enough. May as well be Democrats to vote the Republican party line over 90% of the time.

lol. The problem is they lost control of the House to MAGA that is the problem.

[thethe]

Republicans don’t actually represent their voters. MAGA does.

Can you name a few specifics where MAGA has been successful in this regard?
