You know, it's one thing to Freeptard and only read the headline and proceed to type with your elbows, but you skip even the headlines. Good job, man! LOFL!

"Not a soul in Congress cares what the out-of-work old man in tights and cape wishes to shout about this subject anyway. Literally, by definition, this Congress will have no interaction with MAGAMan."

1) Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio

Miller, 34, is a former White House aide who helped Trump plan his Jan. 6 rally at the Ellipse ahead of the Capitol riot. He  replaces Rep. Anthony Gonzalez, one of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump after the attack. A "scion of one the Cleveland area's wealthiest, most prominent, most powerful families," according to Politico, Miller was the first person endorsed by Trump this cycle.

2) Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla.

Luna, 33, a conservative social media influencer and media personality who once worked for the far-right Turning Point USA, has repeatedly made false claims about the election. She has described herself as a "pro-life extremist" while cozying up to right-wingers like Steve Bannon and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. Luna campaigned with Greene and has already aligned herself with the House Freedom Caucus and members like Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio, and Lauren Boebert of Colorado (who herself barely won re-election).

3) Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis.

Van Orden attended Trump's Jan. 6 rally and marched to the Capitol. He said he never entered the building even though a photo showed him smiling in an area of the Capitol grounds that was behind police lines. He allegedly funded his trip with thousands in campaign funds from his failed 2020 House bid. Van Orden supports a national ban on abortion, which he compared to genocide, and linked rising murder rates to women working outside the home.

4) Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio

Vance, the "Hillbilly Elegy" author and tech venture capitalist whose campaign was backed by millions from billionaire right-winger Peter Thiel, was once a harsh Trump critic before embracing MAGA and the former president once that became politically advantageous. Vance, who has claimed the 2020 election was stolen, has also supported the idea of a federal abortion ban and billions of dollars to finish Trump's border wall, and has promoted the "great replacement" theory popularized by right-wingers like Tucker Carlson and white nationalists.

That's just for starters, need more?

" ...proceed to type with your elbows,..."

It's not a handicap, it's a skill. Keeps my hands free to drink and drive.

Are you saying the listed people will vote whatever way Trump tells them to vote for speaker? That would be sad. Maybe it's the heroic all-CAPS Truth Social pseudo-tweet this morning that convinced them?

After Trump's MegaMAGA endorsement today for his pal Kev, not only did he not convince any rebels to bend over farther for McCarthy... Kev actually lost one today after the Trump message.
