Johnson has shown himself to be a traitor and a swamp creature. A traitor is worse than an enemy, because an enemy at least has the decency to let you know they're your enemy. We have to purge out those who show themselves to be disloyal. It will hurt, we might lose the house and maybe the 2024 presidential election, but right now, we are hemorrhaging, and we can't heal until we cauterize the wound.
Pretty sure that if DJT loses the 2024 election the US is done for.
No, I don't think the US will be done for if Trump loses 2024. Just like I don't think the US will be done for when the next President, who won't be Trump, is elected in 2028.
As much as I love Trump, the idea that he alone can save the country is ludicrous. I really wish people would focus more on policies and trying to come up with ways to make the party stronger rather than making one man the end all, be all of the future of our country.
What are people planning on doing after Trump is reelected in 2024 and is then ineligible to be President again? Just never vote again?
We've put Trump so far up on a pedestal that it's going to be difficult to find someone to follow him. And we've pretty much blown through the top Republicans in the country (those who ran against Trump in the primaries and most of the Republicans in Congress)and have very vocally stated how horrible they are as politicians and as people. So it's going to be a challenge to find someone that will have a strong chance to win 2028.
I think that we might have shot ourselves in the foot with this. Or at least grazed it. Because we've spent the past 10+ years making everything about Trump, the man, rather than the policies of the Republican party. And we've been pretty vocal and rabid whenever anyone has dared challenged him, that we've seriously tarnished the public perception of virtually every Republican who might have otherwise had a chance of winning 2028.
It's going to be interesting to see what happens in 2028, and how MAGA is going to cope after Trump is out of politics.
It makes me wonder if people ever thought about what they'll do after Trump's second term in office. Because many have made it clear that they support Trump, not the Republican party. And people like Trump only come around every 50-100 years or so.
The movement is bigger than one person. Our fight will continue. It will probably take years, maybe even decades, but slowly we will gain momentum. Even if it is one or two people at a time, we will win. Now that we are awake, we will never stop fighting. I have accepted the possibility that I may not live to see the conclusion of this, but I think my grand children or great-grandchildren will one day witness the fall of the deep state and usher in the greatest generation America will have ever seen.
Elected representatives have to at least pretend to adhere to their constituents. This means that it may be better to have a shitty Republican as speaker vs risking a Democrat getting in, where they'll go full steam towards destroying our country. Republicans being Democrats from 10 years ago does have value, in that it minimizes the damage to our country and allows us to wise up and root out the enemies hidden within our midst.
Primary season is the time to root out these types completely, not in the middle of battle.
We can't reward this kind of behavior. If we do, then the RINOs will just keep walking all over us. How has playing political games worked out for us so far? We have to take a new approach, one based on principles instead of whatever we've been doing lately.
I've long thought that right before the election, the Dems en masse need to do something so stupid nobody in their right mind would vote for them.
Maybe that's defending Biden until the absolute worst evidence imaginable comes out. Anybody challenging a Dem that voted to acquit the impeachment could simply use their own words in the face of overwhelming evidence.
Maybe it's putting Trump in jail right before the election.
Maybe it's giving Jeffries SOH and letting the Dems get drunk on power during their extinction burst.
Remember the deep state is DESPERATE to stop Trump and doesn't care about democracy because they had voting machine control... unless the public unanimously votes against them after they royally fuck up SO BAD no sane person will EVER vote Democrat again
And as long as Biden is in charge, they WILL royally fuck up somehow...the question is how: Letting the economy crash? Starting the third World War? Letting Illegals take full control of a city? Some supposed Black Swan event?
I think your way of thinking has quite a bit of merit. This may be the only way to get the rest of the sleepers who are still ignoring what’s happening to get off of their asses.
She wants to be famous. More than anything in this world. People like that are with you until something shinier catches their eye. Then they can’t sell you out fast enough.
“If we vacated this speaker, we’d end up with a Democrat. When I vacated the last one, I made a promise to the country that we would not end up with the Democrat speaker. And I was right. I couldn’t make that promise again,” he told reporters.
“We’d have Republicans cross over. I worry that we’ve got Republicans who would vote for Hakeem Jeffries at this point,” he added. “I really do. I take no joy in saying that. But you can only vacate the speaker if you know that the party leadership won’t change hands. I knew that with certainty last time. I don’t know it with certainty this time.”
D's know that the new rules that the R's put in place, as a condition of voting for McCarthy the first time around, was that it takes only ONE R to file a motion to vacate.
Maybe MTG is their pawn, knowing that R's have already quit and others would cross over to vote D.
Something about MTG rubs me the wrong way...
Agree, this is dangerously stupid since the Republican majority is razor thin. Is she trying to get a democrat in as SOTH?

This. Might as well buy some new shoes now, for the line you'll have to stand in for your daily allotment of bugs.
Make that the world.

He said he would release J6 videos, but then I believe someone said he only released 90 hours from the 45k available(?) Anyone have any info on that?

Maybe it's all three, and more?

And a Congressman from Wisconsin announced he was retiring.
She wants to be famous. More than anything in this world. People like that are with you until something shinier catches their eye. Then they can’t sell you out fast enough.
Agreed. Everything about her screams fake in my gut
Me too. It started with backing McCarthy for SOTH.
Strongly agree.
