These days, every time I hear good news I think, "How am I being played on this?" There is always a catch, it's fake, or it's a bold-faced lie. There just isn't good news anymore.
Here's what I think MTG is planning.
If we get a Blue wave next year [fingers crossed] she'll be able to go on all the news shows and blame Trump.
Expect her to say something along these lines "I was all for Donald Trump, but like you, I was betrayed. But no one man is bigger than MAGA..."
She's setting herself up for a Georgia Senate seat.
Potentially. I think she wants to be a Fox News anchor.
Okay, I'm not an expert here, but I'm pretty sure Senator is a better gig.
I defiantly see your point, but if we were betting I'd put my money on Senate.
Better returns when you play the insider trader market, so I see what you mean.
And you get to call yourself "The Honorable..."
Not sure she really fits their "visual aesthetic"
Fox was accidentally put on our work TVs today (usually CNN which isn't much better). For some reason I was able to see past the makeup and I'm pretty much every host they have now is just the Crypt Keeper underneath 20 pounds of the stuff.
I like the anchor part.
Or the end result will be worse for society.
And pedo
No. Please stop.
“This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL. And Mike Johnson has let it happen because he wanted it to happen,” they told Punchbowl.
“That is the sentiment of nearly all—appropriators, authorizers, hawks, doves, rank and file,” the lawmaker said.
He blasted what he called “the arrogance of this White House team,” accusing them of running members “roughshod and threatened” while denying them even “little wins like announcing small grants or even responding from agencies.”
Oh no! Anyway . . .
furious House Republican
You're going to have to be more specific. They're always mad about something stupid
Fairly sure this was predicted months ago, with the triggering event being the recent elections that were swept by the dems. The prediction was basically that if it looked like they were going to lose control of any of the houses, there'd be a ton of people trying to put distance between themselves and the govt as there's a higher likelihood they'll get prosecuted for crimes. So the early resignations, and attempts to "apologize" are mostly just about trying to avoid accountability for their actions -- rats fleeing a sinking ship.
“This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL. And Mike Johnson has let it happen because he wanted it to happen,” they told Punchbowl.
It's not just members of the House. They treat everyone like garbage. They're narcissists who don't give a shit about anyone else.
It's almost like if you support and elect a dictator...
There is a lot of policy failure and blowback that contributes to this, but I like to think the party and the people are finally unable to tolerate Trump’s narcissistic abuse.
This idea of a government based on the destruction of perceived enemies is not sustainable, and is constantly eating itself for sustenance. At some point, you have to actually figure out where money for food is going to come from and screaming into the void about Democrats, immigrants, and abortion doesn’t pay the bills. The American people need healthcare, housing, education, childcare, food, and hope. NOT ICE raids, bizarre southern military excursions, shutdowns, and traumatized federal workers.
To me, this is a wonderful reminder that our votes still matter, and our system - as large and slow and complex as it is - has careful structure and momentum. The Republican Party still must respond as such.
And yet they all fall in line when it's time to c vote. How angry can they really be?
They all fell in line to release the Epstein files... Well, all but one
They are probably trying to get out in front of something bad enough that their lifetime benefits may be revoked. Better to leave with a little than stay and lose it all.
It's actually spelled Felisha in the credits, but I think spelling it Felicia still adds a little zing to the line.
They'll all quit and Trump will declare congress is no longer necessary
Party of traitors, pedofiles and Cowards
G.O.P. stands for Guardians of Pedophiles.
Good. Keep em coming.
Doesn’t that just open up the seats to more radical players? They become appointments by the local governor and that could lead to more divisive people moving in. MTG is an outlier on the division scale, but I’m certain there are more principled republicans that will be replaced with howler monkeys similar to MTG.
Or it could mean more sensible entrants too, based on their position. Hopefully the voters wake up and realize it's not ok to sit it out.
Promise?
Finger's crossed that Boebert is on the list
“Morale has never been lower,” the senior lawmaker said.
With any resemblance of morals thrown out of the window long ago, this is only fitting.
Any Republican going is a chance for the American people to fix the current situation.
I'll believe it when I see it. Until then, my magazines remain loaded.
Gov. Brian Kemp will have to call for a special election. With Greene’s announced resignation date of Jan. 5, 2026, the northwest Georgia district will go without representation on Capitol Hill until a new congressperson is elected.

Can I ask my the daily beast gets posted here so much, it seems like it's just a advertising farm
I can't see the advertisements because of my uBlock extension in Mozilla. So, I post it because of the story with no understanding or comprehension of the advertisements.
A man can only dream.
I hope they actually explode.
Hang 'em high, citizens.
To whom was that long stream of quotation supposed to be attributed?
[A] clearly frustrated senior Republican
Right, but... who? It seems like a lie, or wishful thinking; It's exactly the kind of thing I'd like to believe, which makes me instantly suspicious.
Digging a little deeper, here's the original quote. Jake Sherman is a journalist, who attributes the quote to "a senior house republican."
Agreed, but it does check out in that the White House staff are all incompetent miserable bastards with no respect and less sense.
