MTG is like a lovely toddler screaming and drawing on the walls of Congress while the adults in the room all ignore her in hopes that someone else will shut her up. It's amazing with how "manly" the GOP presents itself as, none of them have the guts to just tell her to shut the gently caress up.

Seriously never seen a bigger batch of wusses than the current GOP congressional lineup. They're being bullied by an idiot failed steak salesman that hosed up his shot at the presidency so bad that it made Georgia go for the dems and he ended up with 90-something criminal indictments and a new corruption story every day. Trump is irrelevant and should just be mocked by the GOP, but they poo poo themselves at the thought of getting on the other end of his social media posts.

They're all just massive, huge wimps and I bet anyone in this thread could make a GOP house member piss their pants by just raising a fist at them.

Comer is pathetic

so what actually is the hearing today for

like it's for Hunter Biden but what's their stated reason for him being there for.

The plan was to vote to hold Hunter in contempt of congress, but then he showed up for the hearing which wasn't part of their plan. It's not that he's not still at risk of being held in contempt, but it shows off how they're just bullshitting about what they want and what they actually want is to keep dragging the name "biden" through the mud over anything they can come up with.

I don't think anything we've seen from the House GOP qualifies as a plan. Is the idea that they got into a room at some point and said "alright, to paralyze government we're going to continually step on our own balls and pillory our own leadership for doing their job, guaranteeing that we end up with no substantive legislative wins to campaign on"?

Okay Im just gonna go ahead and say Mike Johnson won't be speaker by the end of the month.

I say he passes the funding and the government doesn't shut down but they immediately call for him to vacate
The big question is how long will the funding bill provide funding? Another 3 month extension just means that the next speaker will have a week or two to get another compromise before they get booted as well.

Apparently Ronna McDaniel is still the RNC chair since taking over in 2017 despite everything that happened since then. The party's leadership isn't even trying anymore. The inmates have fully taken over the asylum.

Yeah, we're incredibly loving lucky that he managed to squeeze so much through congress over the last few years. Biden being cosmically boring actually seems to let things like the Respect for Marriage Act, Infrastructure Bill, CHIPS Act and such fly under the radar. Even the ARP, Inflation Reduction Act, and such are actually pretty popular as long as you can put a Republican face at the ribbon cuttings.

Here's hoping the Child Tax Credit actually manages to get locked in by law before the GOP fully grinds things to a halt. The Dems do have some GOP tax cuts held hostage over it, so maybe we'll get lucky one last time before the end of all things.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be helpful for their plan to be passing a ton of culture war bullshit and racist legislation so they can run against Biden's vetoing of everything? I still don't see how alienating their own leadership and spending collectively months failing to elect so much as a Speaker is plan-worthy.

There are people in this thread who truly think the GOP still has some master plan after these 8 years of world class dumbfuckery, and it's like, they can't even agree on the rules of their own leadership, you really think these fucks have a plan?
