The strongly worded letters are going to wreak havoc across the country with Mr. Minnesota who is also the Chairman Emeritus of the Somalia Caucus and Mr. Hallmark Card Letter writing champion Jim Jordan head to UPS to buy stamps in bulk for their letter writing campaigns. GOP is so totally fricked which is why being an Independent is more important than aligning with the GOP.

Impressive.

It is noteworthy that Scalise isn't on that stage and Johnson just appears to be going through the motions. Rumor has it that Johnson is retiring in Jan.

The House sent bills to the Senate where Thune left them to die.

These pathetic cucks want to act tough after getting beaten like a rented mule.

It would be hilarious if it wasn't so depressing.

Amazing how these fks are now planning on doing shite. This is the same group that's been in charge for 2 years and that as a Republican I helped vote into office. Now that they've had their asses handed to them they're talking about getting shite done. However, we all know the only thing they'll do is flap their jaws.

Shame we keep voting for these people. All talk, no bite.

Remember guys, it’s one big party and we ain’t invited.

On policy, virtually any GOP pol would oppose much of the Democratic agenda, but what is the point of obstructionist messaging? To rally your dwindling base? This is going to be a long two years.

Rinse and repeat. I don’t think these idiots have a clue. They are so drunk with being career politicians that they can’t see their own demise.

This used to work when the Democrats weren’t full blown terrorists.

Bill Clinton would almost be considered a conservative today.

If I remember correctly, Bob Livingston did the same thing after the Republican loss in 1998 and the impeachment hearings on Clinton.

He was set to become speaker because the Republicans still held a narrow margin, but Hustler outed him for having an affair, and he decided the right thing for him was to vote for the Clinton impeachment and resign after the new Congress was seated.

Fun fact, David Vitter was elected to replace him, Vitter had his affair revealed after he was a sitting senator.

Scalise was elected to replace Vitter after Vitter ran for Senate.

I guess Scalise is sitting back to let the train wreck republicans continue to destroy the party.

I read Kennedy wanted to wait on voting for Thune, but someone wanted to rush these votes.

The House did a pretty good job under Johnson with a slim margin. The Senate was always the problem with Collins and Murkowski and often Rand.

They’ve also mortgaged their political power to corporatists and technocrats. So they have to serve them first with their action. We, the people, get speeches and social media posts.

This is what the GOP wanted you to think but the reality is that it was the entire GOP senate that unanimously voted to reappoint Thune.

The two House lackey's were McCarthy hand selected plants. Fmr House Speaker McCarthy hated Scalise and Johnson.
