Is it that power corrupts?

Or that power attracts the corruptible?

I am kind of thinking that you’re right.

My thoughts - the GOP may be trying to throw the House back to the Democrats, and, assuming the Dems keep it in January, they will then impeach and remove a re-elected President Trump.

In the long run, purging out the RINOs will result in a better , more conservative House leadership, but it will be very rocky.

Everyone bailing now is suspect as far as I'm concerned.

Absolutely, for a real man/woman would want to put this nation back on a good course & have a legacy of merit, not corruption, or even be suspected of corruption.

"The Rinos are running away now as fast as they can."

And doing as much damage as they can beforehand.

You're right. I would even go back a few years, maybe.

They could also be trying to throw the House to the Dumbs, which in their mind is better than having a GOPee House dealing with a MAGA-GOP President.

Does anyone on this thread have an iq that rises above room temperature? This guy was a tea partner, has voted solidly conservative & isn’t an establishment type of guy. Is it just an addiction to making EVERYTHING somehow connected to President Trump? What is the point in that? It’s like given a choice between going after real lefty-communist jackasses or attacking your own people, a lot of yall prefer the circular firing squad! F***ing morons dude! 🙄

From the article at the above link:

“Unusual Whales, a market analysis group, reported in January that Green was among a bipartisan group of members of Congress who beat the stock market to achieve large returns from trading. The report, which was based on financial disclosures, showed Green got returns of 122.2% over his 2023 stock trades. After the report’s release, Green issued a public statement saying he has no insight into how trades are made.”
