Did you quit stepping out with Rosa DeLauro? She's been looking a tad irritable lately.

GO draft Devin Nunes and lets get this over with. Even tempered, very conservative. He knows how bad it is.

Easy choice.

Just being a realist, but, eventually, he will win. 20 members opposed isn’t enough.

I told Rosa she should get a refund from her hairdresser.

It didn't work out well for me.

Six weeks from now, hardly anyone will remember. Most Americans went back to their work/school today without caring what happened. Nothing is going to happen for the next two years anyway…this stuff is critical to political junkies, and that’s about it.

You can’t win without us establishment and we’ve compromised, been betrayed, ignored and insulted by people who claim to represent us. It may look stupid to the establishment political class but to conservatives who want real change now is their chance to force the leftist of the GOP to listen to their base instead of being bitch slapping again like they have since 1989.

Well Jordan doesn’t want it. It wants to concentrate on a couple issues. Respect the man’s wishes...Vote for McCarthy and stop playing craps.

Jim Jordan gave the nominating speech for McCarthy, and has voted for McCarthy in every round.


And Trump has endorsed McCarthy. Mainstreaming buffoonery won’t end well for conservatives. Guaranteed.

“All of this idiocy can not continue. This nation is in serious trouble. I have NEVER seen things this bad taken collectively.”

That is why we do not need McCarthy

I thought Desantis rodents hated Trump. Now his endorsement is a good thing?

The game has been over since 2020.

Yes. All of this means nothing if 2020 isn’t rectified, with people tried, and if found guilty, sentences carried out swiftly.

It’s time to end the madness and move ahead. The point’s been made.
