Since they cannot have their way, the foolish 25 in the US House are throwing a temper tantrum out of nothing more then petty churlish spite.

They said it. They don’t want anything. They merely want to spite the 8. Listen to their statements, it all about their egos. There is no thoughtful rational adult thinking in any of the 25 fools. Their bombast and posturing is infantile in its stupidity and short sightedness.

25 ego drive fools would burn down everything rather then accept the fact there are some critical changes that need to be made in the GOP Leadership.

They haven’t won yet. Keep withholding votes from the mushy middle. If they get Dems to team up with them make certain they are unemployed. We have the names of the 22 let’s target them. Line up primary challengers NOW and get out and knock on doors for them, make sure everyone in the district knows the swamp backs the incumbent and thinks voters are stupid and if they throw enough money at voters they will reelect these venal creatures who are bankrupting this country.

Someone should re-draft Trump for the job. Maybe that would concentrate their minds and, by comparison, Jordan wouldn’t look so bad to them. But I believe it’s about the $100 Billion for the Ukraine.

“If they get Dems to team up with them make certain they are unemployed. “

They have no fears, and it seems nothing to worry about. The 25 are likely being paid to hold firm. If they team with Dems, the media, and the deep state will cover for them.

On their way to the bank, they laugh at the likes of me.

Yo know what, I’m getting so fed up with this nonsense. I’m tired of letting it eat me up inside.

Only if we let them. They are counting on us forgetting by election time. We can still get challengers on the ballots for most of them. They count on lobbyists money for reelection but that’s not that important anymore. Get out on the streets let the people of the district know they sold out the future of your kids.

Don’t forget. If we don’t beat the swamp our country is dead

Interesting as he was walking along, you could see a sign behind him with a blue D inside a blue circle. It’s an airport, so that would explain it, but the Rat party uses the same blue D inside a blue circle as their logo.

Coincidence? I wonder.

Compare the list of 25 with the list of Republican Representatives from districts that Biden carried. You will have your answer.

Your representative hates you the people period.

They give you the finger while they line their pockets with War booty.

It is mutiny and piracy.

They should go out on a limb and nominate someone who isn’t an angry little greaseball.

I though so too but there are some ruby red district Republicans on that list also

Are those 22 so arrogant to believe they’d be re-elected no matter what? Better to be governed by those who say outright “you will own nothing and be happy” than a frenemy who denies that’s their goal. Fool me once….

A couple of them already have primary challengers.

They think they owe their constituents nothing. Their only loyalty is to those who line their pockets. There are several from Texas and Florida that should be easy to pick off.

Correct. This is NOT about Biden districts.

I carefully counted only 8 seats of that 25 that had a margin of victory under 5%.

17 of those are safe seats.

JMPO....I think that’s a crock. I think they all had a visit from one or more lobbyists, each of whom tossed a fat manila envelope over their office door transom. The Swamp wants the status quo in DC to continue as-is. And these assinine holdouts will happily take the cash, vote for the status quo, and let our Nation go to blazes.

Election fraud isn't solely a Democrat thing.

Nobody on the supposed right in Congress has a set of balls to do anything. We need a conservative party and dump the Republican party.

Yeah, some, like Bacon, (who I don’t like even from a personality standpoint, but that’s not really relevant here), are from bluish districts, so I can understand his position from a standpoint of getting re-elected. But, some don’t fit that bill...

Is there actually a list of these Reps. vs. their district’s tendencies?
