Now the GOP only has a one seat majority. Double edged sword. The house RINO’s took their ball home. What a bunch of feckless losers!

Doubtful, he and Trump are tight.

This is an attempt to prevent Republicans from having a majority (or enough of a majority to govern).

Or enough of a majority to vote for the president in an electoral college stale mate.

Yep. Retribution against the Freedom Caucus.

Guess he has one more jab for the voters. An even slimmer majority.

Thanks for everything, Kevin. I'm sure wealth will find you outside of Congress too.

He won his seat with like 80% of the vote. I find it hard to believe his seat would turn blue. I guess anything is possible though.

Not sure it matters anyway. Brett Kavanaugh has ensured the House will go blue in the next election.

Gaetz is shite. He does nohting but bitch and make chaos for chaos sake and to appeal to his extreme right wing base that just wants revenege instead of a healthy country.. Like Politics is a game.


Thats the biggest issue with Trumpers.. They just want to fight for fighting sakes.
Could care less about actually Governing. You can't beat the Libs with more lies, fantasy and hate constantly. Thats the Dems M.O. Not ours. Rep need to stand for what's right, regardless of Party.

Eventually people get tired of it, and want leaders to lead and resolve problems.

67% but this area is red. You're likely to get a MAGA / America First candidate to replace him now that he's out of the way.

He was exposed and brought down. Now he'll try to get revenge by hiding in the shadows and helping Democrats.
