No, but he called them out. Truth is a revolutionary act.

It’s all for show, for the benefit of anyone stupid enough to still believe their bovine excrement.

Do you have anything positive to say? OK. You don’t believe Chip Roy, Ted Cruz, MTG, Matt Gaetz. All for show. So what do you believe?

Well, I suppose he might give good speech, but the fact is that Republicans don’t control the Senate or the Presidency. And the DOJ is in hostile hands too, so even “Congressional investigations” will amount to nothing.

So what exactly does Mr. Roy expect anyone in that position to accomplish?

One of the few actual representatives in the House of ill repute.

Excellent, Chip. Now call out McCarthy for his weasel words in regards to releasing the Jan 6th tapes.

I’d rather he ripped their heads off and chit down their necks.

I guess that is asking too much?

Chip is an ill-tempered retard. Is he expecting the GOP to mount a coup, butcher a bunch of Democrat office-holders and military men and put the rest in prison? Like it or not, that’s not happening.

Last time we had a civil war, a million men died. We’re not doing that again over policy differences that are usually settled by getting either presidency (which then issues executive orders to overcome legislative gridlock, until overturned by the courts) or legislative majorities.

Wannabe Longmire (actually Chips A'Roy is a dead-ringer for Peter Weller, who was 'Lucian Connally', Walt's predecessor, on Longmire) who has no idea that the idea of 'cutting' anything is dead -- DEAD -- in this political environment, where the #MSM connects a cut like "Pelosi Arched Entrance To SanFreces Human Waste Avenue" directly to "OMG THEY ARE GONNA CUT MY SOCIAL SECURITY".

Nope. Not until another Rush is taking this apart for 3 hours every goddamn weekday on radio and livestream, is this ever going to be acceptable policy again.

Mutt and Jeff avoid these paired topics of US national debt and balanced budgets like it was jerking the slack out of the Devil himself -- and these two cucks have Katherine's blessing.

You are just farting in the wind with this thread. There are only two possiblities to draw attention to the budget and the national debt: another honest-to-God Rush Limbaugh, or a limited nuclear war with China, and the armistice that ensues. Or both.

It comes down to the citizenry. If we don’t vet candidates, we get the same. We can learn from the people of El Salvador: they became 1-issue voters and left the legacy parties for an outsider.

“So what exactly does Mr. Roy expect anyone in that position to accomplish?”

In a word, PERSUASION of voters and his Congressional colleagues. We need loud, frequent, and persistent objections and explanations of the disaster befalling the nation by the RevComDems. That is one way to begin taking back the nation.

“In a word, PERSUASION of voters and his Congressional colleagues.”

Well, he’s not going to persuade the Dems, and he’s probably not too likely to have more influence on voters than the mass media that bombards them all day long, since they will likely never hear a word of what Mr. Roy says unless they seek it out.

Fifty years of full-on, wide-spread assault by liberal kooks, greeniacs, and homos moved Americans far to the left on many issues. It doesn’t happen overnight. You have to treat it as a long-term, multi-front to bring people back to theirs senses.

Or we could just fold up shop and retreat to our few and shrinking safe spaces.

What can be done with only one house, is block hair-brained and evil legislation and appropriations. And investigate.

What people on the border can do is shoot the G-d damned Coyotes as they shepherd people across the Rio Grande. But after a time or two they’ll be laying for them, so that’s got to be hit and run and not entirely adequate, and there may be casualties. Chip, I think, with his references to the Rangers and the Alamo, was hinting at just that, though he da’sn’t say so explicitly.

My grandmother was a Roy. Curious if we might be distant kin.

Civil wars are the Himalaya Hilton of last resorts.
