[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mcarthy can’t do anything.  Santos could call for a new speaker vote - under the ridiculous new rules - and McCarthy needs senators vote.  Mutually assured destruction.  So mcarthy will do NOTHING.  The only thing that will get him out is being sentenced to jail for his crimes.  He won’t resign once indicted.  He will take his salary, hire friends and relatives and do no work.  Just grift as much as he can, probably court trump (he needs a pardon, so he will court trump and ther other Florida man).

On the plus side - senators grift does shine a bright light on how people monetize running for office.  It can apparently be a great scam.  [/quote]

does he have any staff now?[/quote]

if i didn't know this was real life, i would swear it was a scene from veep[/quote]

Sadly it is real.   And republicans are defending this nightmare.   If your representative is not condemning this fraud, they should be.   He is a very unfunny joke.[/quote]
They’re not condemning it because they agree with it. This is the GOP.[/quote]

I don't think they agree with it - I think the problem is that they have the slimmest majority in the house and if they eject ol Catch Me If You Can here it's likely he'll be replaced with a Dem. [/quote]

This isn't difficult to understand. They can't win if they play fair and with morals, so they embrace anyone who can help them keep power, even people who cheat or commit crimes, or mentally ill people who lie more than they tell the truth. Anyone standing by quietly is comfortable enough to accept what's happening. They're not hostages, they're participants. And now he's being rewarded with committee assignments. That's not just accepting him, that's embracing him, confirming that he's part of the family. [/quote]

I was really hoping that as Trump faded from the scene that the party would start to try to find its way back to some semblance of reality.  I really dislike much of what Democrats are selling and would love to have an alternative.  But it seems like the Republicans are too far gone.  They've made me into a Democratic voter even though I don't really like Democrats.  [/quote]

Asking sincerely...have you ever thought of trying to personally shape Republican Party policy to more closely match your priorities/concerns by participating in local or state politics, writing letters to your representatives at all levels, participating in groups that work to influence policy, etc? The country would benefit greatly from two parties tethered to reality, not just one. I think many of those that complain or opine here regularly would be better served by trying to actually change the aspects of our parties we don't like. And, yes, I have done some of things that I mentioned.[/quote]
