Senate Republicans are signaling that they’re in no mood to back conservative members of the House Freedom Caucus who are demanding major concessions from Democrats in the annual spending bills, ra…
Are there any left in that wing? Last I saw they all were drunk as fuck on the Kool-aid.
They like to dress up and cosplay as “less-insane” from time to time but make no mistake there is no Republican Party anymore. It’s MAGA rot all the way down to the core.
McCarthy needs to talk to the house Dems to override the maga wing. He has the votes to bypass the asshole wing of the party, he just has to have the stones to go against the trump wing to get the job done.
But this is McCarthy we’re talking about, so competently doing his job isn’t even on the list of possibilities. He’d be unable to pour piss out of a boot unless the maga wing told him to check the heel for instructions.
Part of his concessions when he was gathering votes to become speaker was that any member of his caucus could trigger a vote to boot him. So if he did try to work with dems, we’d get yet another round of speaker voting. I just wish there were a handful of gop reps who’d cross the aisle and vote for a dem speaker.
If he were to work with the Dems on real issues, I would bet they’d be willing to vote for him for speaker when maga tried that. Especially if it pissed off the maga wing and ripped away some of the hold the crazy fucks have over the Republican party.
Unfortunately? It’s a good thing they’re letting everyone else know how inept they are. The only better thing would be for them to, ya know, not be conservatives.
I’m not so sure. I’m actually worried that Republicans gain politically from a shut down. I am not at all confident that voters will blame the GOP instead of “both sides” or “Biden because it’s ultimately the fault of the leader”.
The less-insane wing of the republican party knows that a shutdown just makes the republicans look even more inept
Unfortunately the maga part doesn’t care
