Everything about the Republican Party.

In 2023, we're seeing this 60 year old quote from Barry Goldwater bear its putrid fruit:
“Mark my words, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem.
Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise.
But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise.
I know, I've tried to deal with them.”

His biggest fault is that he voted to confirm the electoral vote for the 2020 election.
The crazy members of the Freedom Group probably won't vote for him.
To put an end to that shit show, Democrats will have to vote for him.
They will wait, showing how useless the Republicans are.
It seems still more than 20 GOP members not ready to vote for him....yep indeed would need DEMS...and at the end of the day perhaps so will move dans sa direction....he is the best choice dans les circonstances.....and what a slap in the face it would b for the GOP.
The only way Dems should vote for him is if he makes significant concessions. I'd start with him agreeing to remove MAGA crazies from key committees and ending the bogus committees on Biden impeachment and weaponization of government.
Well that didn't last long. Emmer has withdrawn after trump called him a RINO. The shit storm continues.

It shows you how truly rotten the GOP has become when someone like Barry Goldwater, a repulsive worm if there ever was one, now sounds like the voice of reason in comparison. If you walk along the street and step into a pile of dog crap, it will still smell like roses compared to the modern Republican party.
Great idea, Jazzman!
The sad thing is that as bad as this guy is (and he IS bad, make no mistake) he's still probably the least bad of the Republicans. At least he voted to certify the election results so that's in his favor.
Tom Emmer quit the bid for President of the House.
I think he is the fourth that was rejected that means there are at least 200 propects.
They are good to try to 2024 election.
If that cause the defeat of all Republicans that will run in 2024, USA will get rid of that useless party !
Not all Republicans are bad. I would endorse Arnold Schwarznegger, if he was eligible. Let's not forget he was a multi term Governor in the heavily Democratic state of California which rarely votes Republican in Presidential elections, and he learned a lot from the experience and is a generally wise man:

All he has to do is say 3 words:

Unfortunately the same people are not in politics as was the case years ago. You are getting more people who grew up rich and out of touch with the realities io the world than was the case years ago, when the Republicans had many more distinguished and talented leaders than they do now. Like Abraham Lincoln, to name one:

Theodore Roosevelt, to name another:

There is a reason why these guys have their faces sculpted into Mount Rushmore, which you guys should all get out to and visit some time:

..and chaos continues....MIKE JOHNSON is now on the guillotine...lolll.....who's next...more than 200 still waiting for....relol.
MIKE JOHNSON Is the new House President. He will be Trump lapdog.
He is an ultra-right extremist.
He is an 2020 election results denier, he approves Joe Biden Impeachment, he is anti-abortion, he is against additional support to Ukraine, etc !
..yep....that's why he fits so well in this family portrait ....lolll...what a disgrace ....
It's sickening that even the so-called "moderate Republicans" voted for this treasonous piece of crap. He's not as well known as McCarthy or Jordan but it appears that he's almost as bad.
So as mentioned they elected super moron MIKE JOHNSON as HOUSE/SPEAKER in charge of THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE.....third autority in the country.....shame shame shame...this jerk/crapule was one leading under TROMP the fight to overturn the results/BIDEN'S elections.....non sense that he is now in charge of the most important democratic institution......jail would b more appropriate for this coward...sad sad sad day.
Santos Facing House expulsion Vote Requested By Republicans- 2/3 vote needed:
www.bbc.com
George Santos faces House expulsion vote next week
A fellow Republican forced the vote after submitting a resolution that cited Mr Santos' federal indictments.
www.bbc.com
It will not happen....he fts so well in this bunch of crazy and dishonest ....McCarthy already said about him....it's up to his voters to decide....and so it is with this bunch of morons......absolutely no decency/no political ethics...that's the way it works.
This is who the Republicans voted for...
