Republicant's

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

The attempt to pass a resolution in the House stating that trump did not engage in insurrection should also get a shout out.

Ftr, that has not been voted up or down yet:
Matt Gaetz Leads Republican Resolution Declaring Donald Trump Didn’t Engage In Insurrection
It’s the latest effort by Republicans to whitewash Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.


Republicans led by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) want Congress to declare former President Donald Trump innocent of engaging in insurrection.

Gaetz and 62 House Republicans introduced a symbolic resolution simply stating that Trump “did not engage in insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

It’s the latest effort by Republicans to whitewash Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, which included sending a mob of his supporters to the U.S. Capitol while Congress certified the vote result. More than 1,200 people have been charged with crimes for attacking police and ransacking the building....
Morons.

I like this HuffPo teaser for an article about the things listed in the GoCubsGo/Ron Filipkowski post:

YOU'VE GOT FAIL
GOP FLAMES OUT 3X IN ONE DAY


Actual article:
Republicans Have Day Of Epic Failures In Congress
The party is showing voters a House leader who can’t count votes and a Senate leader incapable of swaying his conference to compromise.


Tuesday was a deeply embarrassing day for Republicans in the U.S. Capitol.

House Speaker Mike Johnson’s big push to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas failed spectacularly following high drama and yelling on the House floor, falling short by just one vote. Minutes later, a Republican bill to send U.S. aid to Israel went down in flames due to bipartisan opposition. Earlier in the day, Senate Republicans officially killed the border security package the party had cried out for only months earlier....

The trio of failures, just over a month into a presidential election year where they hope to project competence and win over swing voters disappointed in President Joe Biden, combines to paint a grim picture of the GOP’s ability to govern. Instead, the party is showing voters a House leader who can’t count votes, a Senate leader who is incapable of persuading his conference and a party that is both unwilling to compromise with Democrats and unable to wrangle votes for its own agenda.

“There used to be a difference between the Senate Republican caucus and the House Republican caucus,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) told reporters earlier in the day. “There is no difference. They are just as dysfunctional. They are just as tied to President Trump.” ...

“Miss me yet?” Santos tweeted, along with a photo of the tied impeachment vote in the House.
:---P
... “Politics used to be the art of the possible. Now it’s the art of the impossible,” Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) lamented. “Meaning, let’s put forward proposals that can’t possibly pass so we can say to our respective bases, ‘Look how I’m fighting for you. These are things that will never happen, but I’m fighting for you.’”

He added: “We’ve gone from the sublime to the ridiculous.”

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), another GOP centrist who supported the border deal, observed, “Congress is getting really good at failing well.”

What's also funny is that the sickophants like Marge and Goofy think they're making progress and winning.

I wonder if there's going to be some kind of revolt against them. Grab the popcorn.

Maybe the upcoming civil war will be an all Republican event.

Laura Ingraham’s Brazen New Boast Causes Critics’ Heads To Spin
The Fox News host was mocked for not letting facts get in the way of her claim.


... “Don’t let the Democrat media machine, not for one second, have you believe that just because the House came up short in impeaching Mayorkas, that we’re not on a winning roll here,” she said. “Because we are.”

(video)

“The country is waking up,” Ingraham claimed.

“They’re demanding real change and they’re looking away from Washington and toward the guy who had us going in the right direction just four years ago,” she added, a reference to Trump.

Ingraham also slammed former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley for daring to remain in the Republican presidential primary race against the front-runner former president.
:roll: :violin:
Critics responded to Ingraham’s comments on X, formerly Twitter:

It’s hard to spin a complete failure in a positive way. She tried though 😂
Well, that's an Angle, all right...
You almost feel bad for the amount of losing that MAGA is doing. Almost. 🍿
Jack E. Smith ⚖️
(“Whatever you are, be a good one”. Here for people, politics and parody.)

The new winning roll:

- 15 tries to elect one of your own to the Speakership

- dumping the guy you took 15 tries to elect, coz you’re a bunch of grievance babies

- electing a guy who hears celestial voices…but cannot whip votes.

- kicking your own out of committees because they’re not feral enough

- being nationally embarrassed by people ignoring your subpoenas…because you ignore subpoenas.

- A botched investigation of Joe Biden

- A botched investigation of Hunter Biden

- A botched impeachment of Mayorkas - because you’re math challenged

- rejecting a bipartisan bill you’ve been screaming for, coz of a truth social post from a guy on his way to prison

- becoming the house majority with the fewest legislative accomplishments in memory

- humiliating yourself with stupid loyalty tests for someone who will absolutely rat you out when he’s desperate to make a deal

No wonder the House went on recess. They can cower at home and hope that time and the trump trial news will take the attention away from another massive impeachment failure.

Wasn't this "their guy" that they were hanging their impeachment hats on?
