Republican Elite got Bit on the A$ss
Vanity | 1/25/2012 | Self

Posted on 01/25/2021 9:25:24 AM PST by CptnObvious

The Republican weenies in the US Senate got bit on the A$ss. They thought the Democrats would not use fraud in Georgia so they would stay in power. The Dems deal was probably like this - don't make waves and you get to stay in power and the chumps believed it.

Now the RINOs and weenies are out of power and are hurting. Call the Waaambulance!

Before you can have secession, GA and AZ would need to fight their own Civil War...

Too weird. I thought the exact same thing. I really thought that before the election Mitch cut a sweetheart deal to shut down the presidential election fraud in exchange for keeping control of the Senate via Georgia. I have absolutely no proof and it is all conjecture on my part, but the same thing sure crossed my mind as well.

For America to have a chance at rebirth, the GOP must die.

At this point, only fools continue to support the GOP. As someone pointed out the other day, the very same fools that still watch faux news.

The previous Majority leader will make more money, power and influence as the Minority leader selling the 9 or 10 needed votes, rather than having to be buy them.

Funny how most things are not as they first appear. They are in it for them selves and are the uniparty. No matter who is in what position, they will go the way they are told.

The GOP threw thew house elections in 2018 so they could sit back and let the dems be the ones to take the point in blocking Trump. A ton of safe members suddenly retired (prime example being Paul Ryan but there were others) and then many others mailed it in on the campaign trail. They wanted the dems to win so Trump would be blocked and it wouldn't have their fingerprints on it, make no mistake.

They held the Senate but I see no reason to believe that they wouldn't throw it so they had the luxury of having to do no work but get all the graft. Especially since the only way to keep the Senate was to support Trump's assertions that the elections in GA were fraught with issues. No way, they'd rather lose the Senate than that. If you still doubt it, their stubborn refusal to up the payments from $600 to $2,000 as urged by Trump should make it crystal clear. They suddenly remembered for this one item that the reckless spending is bad, after all this time? Nope, they threw it.

That's a lie. I guess these guy didn't get the memo.

Romney suggests 'new faces' of post-Trump GOP: Christie, Cotton, Rubio, Sasse, Hogan, Baker

Agree. The “Republican” half of the governing class is happiest in a minority position, enjoying the benefits of office with none of the responsibility. The “Democrat” half are ideologues who crave power over others’ lives itself. Both love the money provided as members of America’s nobility, and all of them are as useless as the inbred twits across the pond.

Why does McConnell prefer the minority position?

"The answer is where you have had to actually follow Mitch McConnell closely to see how he works. When the Majority has around 52 to 55 seats, they need McConnell to give them 8 to 9 votes to overcome the three-fifths (60 vote) threshold for their legislative needs. It is in the process of trade and payment for those 8 to 9 votes where McConnell makes more money, and holds more power, than as a sitting Majority Leader.

The 60 vote threshold, and McConnell’s incredible skillset in the minority, is where he shines. Each of the needed votes to achieve sixty is worth buckets of indulgence to the minority leader and those on K-Street who need the Senate to support their legislative constructs. The votes to get to sixty are worth a lot of money.

This institutional dynamic is the currency of affluence and influence in the Senate; this is why Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell never changed the Senate rules for legislative passage. This is why the filibuster was retained and why the 60 vote threshold was always beneficial to both parties. The color of the flag atop the spire matters not."

They like being in the minority, they can moan and posture, but don’t have to do anything.

The GOP doesn’t have to die. It has to be purged of RINOS, and the Jackass party has to be defeated.

They just colluded with Democrats to cheat out of office the best President of my lifetime.

They have repeatedly colluded with Democrats to defeat GOP Senate candidates that Mitch didn’t like in IN, MO, NV, DE, MS, AL.

They have an agenda and it is not MAGA, it’s Make America into North Mexico.

What are you talking about?

The RINOs got exactly what they wanted. It was their plan, too.

And now, all is well in their world again. ... well, almost ...

All will be well again once that bad orange man is impeached ... AGAIN!!!

The GOP leadership is old compared with the Democrat Party leadership?
Democrats led by Nancy Pelosi, James Clyburn, and Steny Hoyer are in their 80’s. Chuck Schumer is not a spring chicken either.
The problem is without the leadership of President Trump both parties are 2 sides of the same coin. They are bought and paid for by big tech, big business and the Chinese Communist Party. They also like wars because they are very profitable to the military industrial complex and politicians. The Democrats however have the propaganda press, the schools, hate America organizations like ISIS, the Communist BLM organization, and some parts of Antifa.
