Republican infighting in the House of Representatives since the ouster of Speaker Kevin McCarthy two weeks ago isn't so much creating dysfunction as it is exposing dysfunction. Over the past 10 months, strange coalitions have been built and dispersed, candidates have risen and fallen, and private animosities have burst into public view. While the D.C. legacy media press has proven itself incapable of explaining any of the above (see: its description for the "hard right coalition" of Reps. Matt Gaetz, Nancy Mace and Ken Buck), the squabbling has clarified just how cracked up the Republican Party truly is.

That's good. It doesn't matter what her political views are. She held Kevin McCarthy accountable.
What gets me is everyone complains about “Assistant Democrats” but the minute things get messy, want to crawl back in with the rinos. Everyone knows the fight must first begin within the Republican party before any fight can mounted to take this country back. McCarthy could have prevented this by at least delivering on one or two promises, but it is clear he expected Democrats to protect him after doing their bidding for eight months. None of us know how this will turn out (it seems a lot of rinos are very concerned about their constituents “intimidating” them) and throwing in the towel only empowers the liberal Republicans. We are where we are, we should at least try to fight.
He gambled that the Democrats wouldn't vote to remove him even though he did everything they asked him to do. They don't care anyway. The election is coming up and even if Donald Trump becomes the Speaker for the next year, it's still worth the price to pay by having McCarthy removed. The Democrats are happy to point out that the Republicans are incapable of governing.
But I think this is a feature by our Founding Fathers. Gridlock is good so nothing get done.
This just the latest manifestation of the GOPe war with Trump supporters in Congress. The Never Trumpers would rather lose 2024 across the board than see the Donald return to power.
True that.
It’s coming; most everyone has seen it, for a while.
I wondered the other day, in the thick of the Jim Jordan voting, if perhaps the Deep State didn’t want someone like Jordan because they may already know that the Speaker could realistically end up as President sometime soon.
Neither is “hard right”, that I can remember.
Yeah
Good observation.
Don’t forget all the communists, Marxists, fascists, anarchists, BLM etc etc etc in their “constituency”.
They really “tore the Band Aid off”, didn’t they? Now we’re all going to have to live with the debris of that act. It had to happen sooner or later.
A: There are liberal Republicans.
Dems are in the home jersey; GOP is in the same team’s away jersey. Hardly a dime’s worth of difference between them, except for a few.
Yep...It fits...
you seem to get it ...

Yes it sure is. About darned time.
My humble opinion.
Democrats…..damn near everything they want or would like to accomplish requires money. Taxpayer money. And a lot of it. Regardless of where it goes, wasteful programs that get no results for kickbacks, doling out to friends for some kickbacks, non-profits for some kickbacks, hiring their family members, or ‘humanitarian aid’ for kickbacks
Conservatives….about 99% of what they want costs NOTHING. They don’t mind paying taxes for the essentials: cops, firefighters, schools(to some extent), and a few other things, BUT after that they just want to be left alone. Let me keep the money I earn so I can live my life and take care of my family. No foreign interventions. No ridiculous foreign aid packages promoting BS so they can launder money.
Republican/RINOs….talk like Conservatives in public. Support everything the democrats want in private. Love taking care of their donors for the campaign cash and kickbacks. Love taking advantage of insider information so they can hook up their donors and buddies back home for kickbacks. Love the fact that they don’t experience the consequences of their collusion with democrats. IE…their support of open borders to appease their buddies in construction, farming and manufacturing. None of these Republicans live near the neighborhoods that become favelas. They aren’t the ones that are forced to move due to the invasion. Ergo, no different than hypocritical Democrats.
Well said. I’d put no 2 first. That’s what caused this, driven by 1,3, & 5
Way too many of them, IMO.
