Bill Clinton complaining about the illegals in NYC. Go fuck yourself. Die very slowly.

Boo fucking Hoo. Billy boy, you sowed the seeds of this issue. Now you're reaping the rewards for it.
Plot twist, he's actually complaining that he's not man enough for his poor wife. He's been suffering for years.
 
When you belong to a minority party, the only way you have any value is via your ability to solicit donations regardless of whether or not your party's in the majority. This means you need to achieve seniority, get plum committee assignments, and be able to get riders you donors like on bills the majority party is working on. This necessarily requires you to build a base around you, personally, rather than the party as such, and doing that requires a measure of independence - Susan Collins annoys the party almost as much as Rand Paul does, but her Maine donors love her, so it doesn't matter. Mitch McConnell's a great example of this - didn't matter if the Republicans had a majority or not, for decades, he's built up important relationships with critical donors in the state of Kentucky and kept them happy, while they've made him a rich man and poured money into party coffers as thanks. Donors don't care who wins. They only care if pork with their name on it gets into a spending bill.



That mechanism was historically denying them committee assignments. If you don't get on a good committee, then you provide your donors no value as a member of the minority party, and there's no sinecure lined up for you when you inevitably lose your seat or retire. The problem is now there are a handful of people who just don't give a shit, they have secure seats and nothing to lose. MTG and Lauren Boebert in particular are just crazy bitches.
Welp, should have paid off Matt Gaetz then instead of telling him to fuck off.

don't forget that THEM! came after Gaetz with both barrels with that bullshit around the crazy Seminole county tax collector Joel Greenberg, so he's got a particularly personal reason to just rip all the shit up
 
Your mistake is thinking that “winning” = instituting policy that their constituents want.
"Winning" in the human brain is being adored by the public. It requires discipline to train the brain to focus on more nebulous objectives.

The ultimate leader of any party is the President. Congress is only a factor if the party doesn't have the presidency. Most of my post focused on the difference between the presidential primaries which has nothing to do with committee assignments. Donald Trump had literally zero political experience and was elected President. The Republican party which hated him from the start was powerless to stop him from disrupting their "losing gracefully" to Hillary Clinton. Don't move the goalposts.

The Democrats have the ability to rig their primaries via superdelegates. The Republicans have no such ability.
 
Here's the UFO/UAP angle:
Several of the Republican votes against Speaker McCarthy are believers of a UFO/UAP coverup:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Removal_of_Kevin_McCarthy
  • Andy Biggs (Yes to Vacate) - Asked David Grusch about the Phoenix Lights at the House Oversight Subcommittee hearing.
  • Ken Buck (Yes)
  • Tim Burchett (Yes) - The Congressman talking about a UFO coverup absolutely constantly. He may be a little retarded but his heart is in the right place. Went to Eglin Air Force Base.
  • John Rice Carter (Absent)
  • Eli Crane (Yes)
  • Matt Gaetz (Chief Instigator) - Went to Eglin Air Force Base, and was the only one with the clearance to see classified info there.
  • Bob Good (Yes)
  • Lance Gooden (Absent)
  • Anna Paulina Luna (Absent) - Went to Eglin Air Force Base, helped organize UAP hearing. Absent on maternity leave.
  • Nancy Mace (Yes) - Asked David Grusch at the hearing if bodies were recovered from crashes, was famously told that "non-human biologics" were recovered.
  • Matt Rosendale (Yes)
McCarthy denied a request for a select committee on UFOs/UAPs, and has toured Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, a significant place in UFO lore. He went with Mike Turner, who is opposed to Disclosure and has advocated for expansions to Wright-Patterson, which is in his district.

"EXCLUSIVE NEWS: @SpeakerMcCarthy toured Ohio’s Wright-Patterson Airforce Base with House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner in June. McCarthy never mentioned it to @timburchett. Today, we did. Burchett fears a cover-up..."

Watching the RINO meltdown over this has been fantastic. These frauds bitch, piss, and moan about the corruption in DC and how there is absolutely no accountability for our elected officials, so when finally someone is held accountable for breaking their word, the RINOs and DeSimps(is there a difference between them?) run to the hills whining about unity as they rubberstamp and give every single thing Democrats want.
 
The big question now is "Can the Freedom Caucus actually use this?". As is, this action does actually hurt the Republican party as a whole, GOPe and MAGA both. It makes the Republicans look weak, chaotic, and like they have no control of themselves. It will reduce enthusiasm to vote for them and turn off moderates.

That is not to say this should not have been done though. Burning the rot is necessary. Now, though, one side has to be able to use it to spurn on positive goals and messaging to offset the damage it did because if neither does the Democrats will.
 
It's been very informative to watch how the MSM machine is spinning this. Even FOX is toeing the party line here with the standard MAGA bad shtick.

It's very useful to know who falls where on this issue. Those who are onboard with the uniparty have to come out and say so now. The line has been drawn and the people will, hopefully, remember.
The writing has been on the wall for Fox since that fucked up debate with Chris Wallace. I mean not that they were ever not stooges but they just let the mask slip all the way off at that point.
 
Is it true that Republicans have a pathological dislike for leadership, any leadership? Yes.
Is it true that leadership has a pathological need for war, any war, or debt, any debt? Also yes.
I'm sure none of these things are related.
 
Well the biggest difference between the Dems and GoPe is their selection process and their attitudes towards government.

Notice how the DNC has 100% control over candidates with their "super-delegates" so it really doesn't matter who the people select the elites have the final say. While the GoPe lacks this layer, at the moment at least, allowing for black swans like Trump to happen no matter how the elites protest.

This attitude spreads over to the parties attitudes towards government. The Dem's view the democratic process as tool to be used and not an end in itself. If they really believed in "our democracy", like they seem to say on an almost hourly basis, why have the super-delegates? Why have all the hoops and barrels a candidate must jump through to get onto the local ballots. No the Dems are all about control. The government is just a tool to them to exert control and not a good in and of itself.

No the GoPe is a little different, I really believe that many of the rank and file Repubs believe in actual democracy. So much so that it blinds them to the evils going on on the left side of the aisle. They believe in the process of government and the act of voting and of course this is their downfall. The RNC has open and free selection processes, that allow for anyone to get the nomination providing he/she can tally up the votes. This is in stark contrast to the Democrat process of nomination.

This is also why the DNC seems to have a iron grip on it's members. In an ideal world the DNC is their to support the candidates but we all know it's the other way around. You must please the elites, promise your soul and then they might just maybe allow you a shot at the prize. With the RNC we saw how they fell in line behind Trump, however unwillingly, after it was clear he had the peoples votes. Again, such a stark contrast to the DNC that did everything but hit him with a bus to stop Bernie from gaining any foothold.

Now tell me which party you would rather have in power? Despite the failing of the leadership uni-party drones I still believe that the average GoPer has whats best for America at heart. Can you say the same thing about the average Democrat?

Whats that old expression?

The GoPe sees the Dems as misguided idealists but still as people.

The Democrats see the GoP as a mindless evil. Something to be overcome at any cost.

These two viewpoints cannot co-exist. These two parties as they are today cannot co-exists. Something has to change before it's too late.

Absolutely does not, it may piss off the donors, but I've yet to see a single negative twitter remark from people outside of the swamp. The only people seething are the donors, journalist and D.C. cretins. The Republican base gives off the appearance that they're ecstatic with McCarthy getting hurled out onto his ass for backstabbing what the base wants. As for independents that the party needs to pick up, they do not pay attention or digest any political news until long after the primaries are over and its a few months out from election day. If there was any time to smite McCarthy it would be right now.
 
Gaetz is doing exactly what AOC and the squad promised to do, but where they immediately cucked to Pelosi, Gaetz is sticking to his guns. Corporate pundits are fucking shocked right now because things like this were always meant to be for show and never actually carried out.
the squad couldnt muster up the effor ellt even threaten Pelsoi with #forcethevote. Jimmy dore and the weirdos had to push it on them. I saw jimmy (or his cohosts) seethe that Gaetz fucked with McCarthy but the squad didnt even fart in pelosi's direction.
 
Man was immune to bullets. Had holes in his clothes, horses shot from under him, practically point blank friendly musket fire... it was astonishing.

The one time an expert brit sniper had him dead to rights, he couldn't take the shot. He felt it would have been too dishonorable to do so.

There's a reason why king George called him the greatest man in the world for giving up power.
I heard motherfucker had like, 30 goddamn dicks.

Actually, if we're talking about "Moderates" they'd notice a weird dichotomy betwen Pelosi and McCarthy with AOC and Gaetz.

Gaetz succeeded -for now, the Big Booty Latina failed and failed hard. I'd assume the "moderates" would like that
My dude we had one president who dueled people while president, beat a would-be assassin to near death with a cane and before dying remarked his only regrets involved not killing one of his cabinet members. We had another who was so determined to go to war he quit his prestigious desk job to go round up volunteer cavalry and go fight in the Caribbean. We had a vice president shoot a treasury secretary in cold blood. We had a senator who was a prominent member of the Ku Klux Klan.
Things in American politics are downright pedestrian compared to the balls to the wall insanity we used to have.
My secret wish is to keep inserting more insane/retarded as hell politicians that are actually pretty decent people so we ever get so closer to political debates being wrestling matches.

I will literally fasttrack nanomachine research if we get close to this dream. Somehow.

Someone else has to be the one to invent metal Gear though. I'm not doing the gundam shit, we might end up with mechwarrior, or cthulutech if I tried that (also I have no degrees relevant to engineering anyways).
The problem is that giving those tards in Ukraine countless billions of dollars isn't going to destroy Russia.
I am once again baffled how easily the left decided to financially support literal pedophiles and Nazis.
I would've at least assume their commie heritage would've awakened something in them. But I guess not.
