Ah yes, I definitely had "Republican party needs to call Trump to help decide who needs to be the leader of their constituency so they can govern" on my 2023 bingo card.
Man, this is just a never-ending disaster for the conservate wing, but they totally deserve it for pointing at the far-left Congresspeople and saying how not united the Democrats are.
In a more reasonable government this would be at least a 4 party system, but no chance ever of that with FPTP.
We would just be happy these boot lickers found such an inept boot to lick. There's no policy proposals or points of leadership they can emulate to gain trump support because he's devoid of policy or leadership.
Tom Emmer was my congressman for many years. He only wins because the district is gerrymandered. He is a regressive fuckwad who is a Trump Sycophant. Plz dear God do not let him become Speaker.
Here is the level of clusterfuck in the House right now ...
“Is there anybody that can get there? I don’t think there is,” said Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, who has repeatedly suggested Trump should be elected House speaker.
I mean can you imagine the orange kumquat as House speaker?
I believe the plan is to simply never elect a speaker and all of the GOP have agreed to it. Continue the spectacle indefinitely to prove their longtime claim that government doesn't work. Putin loves his R clowns.
And blame it on the democrats.
And blame it on the democrats.
As is tradition.
That...makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I do see the overarching point you're trying to make but your suggestion is not how this will play out.
I hope it resolves. Ukraine's survival and democracy around the globe depends upon a resolution.
I hear ya, the democracy part might be a lil hyperbolic but even if we get to the funding deadline next month, there will be plenty of ripples felt. I do think they will eventually settle on Donalds (the rep, not orange Donald) or someone close to the freedom caucus but whoever they settle on will have the same issues as McCarthy.
Donalds is pro-trump/putin/insurrection. I'm not being hyperbolic about democracy hanging in the balance.
The conversation should be shifting (in the media) to which Democrat the Republicans should be supporting.
And how far the candidates can distance themselves from Trump, not sucking up to the blood criminal.
I think the Democrats decided on Hakeem Jeffries a while back, and Republicans aren't gonna talk about it openly.
I'm (hilariously) holding out hope "moderate" Republicans jump ship and form a third (anti Trump, centrist-conservative) party. That then creates a coalition with the Dems. Saving our democracy, dooming Trumpkins, and putting moderate liberals in charge of the House.
. . . that's when I always wake up.
And it's finally revealed that all of the Trump stuff has just been a huge guerilla marketing campaign for a new Home Alone movie reboot releasing this Christmas, co-starring President Joe Biden and Macaulay Culkin.
I don't see it happening either. It's striking just how many unprincipled cowards there are in the political center or center-right. Just gutless yes-men, with a smattering of yes-women who would much rather see the country burn than get called out by Trump.
Well, they'd better hurry up and figure out what they're doing because they don't have much longer until the government loses funding. Something makes me think that this time around even the essential employees will be walking out if the government shuts down.
all Republicans should be fired immediately
lower-level names seek Trump's support
They're unclear on the concept.
What I find really great is that with the modern election cycle, we have already had debates for president.
This just showcases how much of a worthless cluster fuck one half of The Party has become at producing a leader.
Moscow Mitch the Russian Cock Sucking Bitch is all up in arms about being politely asked about his health, still strangleholds his side of The Party, but still hasn't thrown his hat in the ring to run for President.
On the other side, where are the debates for the other half of The Party?
Poli-Sci majors might want to roll in with their spineless rhetoric right here, but why wouldn't a strong encumbent President relish the opportunity to defend his seat in high spirited and federal level publicized exercises in discourse?
No. At the advanced age of 250, America is just a sesspool of half assed high school model UN asshats who can look just pretty enough to get elected to middle of the road bribe recipient seats with not a single soul who knows how or cares about running a government or leading a nation.
We have Trump neck deep in litigation, Biden funding genocide, and a few hundred Instagram influencers assraping Lady Liberty and telling the American people to suck their tiny stinky chodes.
America has failed.
Pack it in guys, America has failed 😩
