RINO's still hate Trump and have the GOP divided and paralyzed. And the ComDems are still in power, but a lot is being exposed daily that shows how crooked both the ComDems and the RINO's really are. Neither of them wants the citizens to have control and the RINO's would rather the Communists control our government than for Trump supporters to gain control.
DC is almost totally corrupt. And even most of the world understands it.

There were at least 20 House Republicans who said in advance they would not vote for Scalise when it came to the floor. The RINOs knew this and were just having a hissy fit when they insisted on voting for Scalise over Jordan.

And even most of the world understands it.....and uses it to their advantage.
Blackmail of the top DEM & GOPe leadership is as plain as the nose on their faces.
They know if the news ever gets told they will be spending the rest of their lives in prison or exile, constantly looking over their shoulder for an assassin................................

RINO’s and #ComDems both want DC to continue to be the District of Corruption.
They all rule to get power and money for themselves. Neither even consider survival of the nation.
Throw all the Bums Out?

Interesting that he endorsed Scalise over himself. 🤨
To: Texas Fossil
Scalice was nominated by secret "vote"
He was denied in public.

He did because he wanted the GOP unified. Jim Jordan is one of the few who really do think about the nation.
He really needs to be where he is, but he would step into the speaker seat to help the nation.
The RINO’s want ZERO change, they want continual Graft. Period.
And the #ComDem’s seek to destroy the USA and make slaves out of all of us.
The RINO’s do too.

What you noted is true.

This is ALL Gaetz doing. He collaborated with Hakeem to take out the Republican majority. Gaetz is about himself. Did we ever get his sex trafficking scandal resolved or is that still looming?

This dude is a creep and once it becomes obvious a lot of people will have amnesia about supporting him.

Perhaps his act in supporting Scalise when it mattered will cut at least some ice with his colleagues who similarly supported Scalise.
