Republican infighting reached new heights this week as House Speaker Kevin McCarthy engaged in a war of words with conservative hard-liners on his right flank.
Republicans in the Senate watched their counterparts in the House with dismay as internal squabbles over spending put McCarthy’s future as speaker in doubt and increased the odds of a government shutdown at the end of the month.
“It’s a shitshow in the House. It’s always a shitshow in the House,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said. “Eventually, what’s going to happen is a government shutdown, [and it] will not go well for us.”
Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark.) was equally blunt about the situation during an interview with NBC: “It’s an unmitigated disaster right now on the majority side.”
“I’m fearful of what this leads to,” Womack added.

You're a genius! I can't believe I doubted you people! What a strategy!
I've only been voting for a little over thirty years now, and I swear I keep hearing that same mantra from the Republicans every election cycle. Then when the Rwpublicans assume power in either of the chambers in Congress, and with a few exceptions, the presidency; they fail to actually lead anything other than more doom-porn at the next election cycle. And many voters buy into it.
It's past time to draw the line in the sand and dictate that either they join us, or we'll them out to dry with no votes. Otherwise that line in the sand is going to get real messy.
It will cause Congress to come to a halt and prevent them from passing any liberty-infringing bills. How can that be a bad thing?
STALIN'S IGNORED WARNING! (2 MINUTES)

On the precipice of the Biden impeachment hearings, the Republicans have decided to engage in self-immolation. Brilliant timing.
“Only after the GOP is burned to the ground, its dead roots pulled up, and the ground salted can an actual American opposition party emerge.”
Sounds good to me. The sooner the better.
Jordan can’t get 218 votes.
"Jordan told CNN there is “no” chance he will become speaker, adding he wants to be House Judiciary chairman. He said he would lobby his colleagues to back McCarthy once the chamber resumes Wednesday."
“We need to rally around him,” Jordan said of McCarthy.
Jordan, in an effort to show party unity, nominated GOP leader Kevin McCarthy in the second round of voting.
Gee, who could have foreseen this!?!?! Nostradamus? Jeane Dixon? Carnac the Magnificent?
Anyone with a triple digit IQ.
Not really. Just a couple days ago McCarthy came out and slammed Trump’s primary opponents, and said he is the only one who will win the primary.
Then be the monkey in the wrench and grind everything to a halt. If a conservative can’t be speaker then draw blood so to speak from the wussie GOP moderates. Make them pay a price politically for being liberals.
At this point the country is swirling in the crapper, you might as well make the establishment of the GOP come out of the closet for the liberals they truly are. Once done they will be over as a political party and perhaps a true second party can come to power. The GOP establishment has to go.

I do not disagree with you. I’m just saying that a conservative has no chance to be elected Speaker right now.
IMO the Brunson filings are correct and 336 legislators that voted to certify 2020 when there were 100 wanting an investigation should be frog marched out of their seats and banned from ever holding office again. And Frankly when the military finally steps in I would not be surprised to see that happen. We can never fix the country with the current crop of legislators.
