politics

Fairly sure this was predicted months ago, with the triggering event being the recent elections that were swept by the dems. The prediction was basically that if it looked like they were going to lose control of any of the houses, there'd be a ton of people trying to put distance between themselves and the govt as there's a higher likelihood they'll get prosecuted for crimes. So the early resignations, and attempts to "apologize" are mostly just about trying to avoid accountability for their actions -- rats fleeing a sinking ship.

These days, every time I hear good news I think, "How am I being played on this?" There is always a catch, it's fake, or it's a bold-faced lie. There just isn't good news anymore.

No. Please stop.

furious House Republican

You're going to have to be more specific. They're always mad about something stupid

“This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL. And Mike Johnson has let it happen because he wanted it to happen,” they told Punchbowl. 

“That is the sentiment of nearly all—appropriators, authorizers, hawks, doves, rank and file,” the lawmaker said. 

He blasted what he called “the arrogance of this White House team,” accusing them of running members “roughshod and threatened” while denying them even “little wins like announcing small grants or even responding from agencies.”

Oh no! Anyway . . .

Good. Keep em coming.

“This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL. And Mike Johnson has let it happen because he wanted it to happen,” they told Punchbowl.

It's not just members of the House. They treat everyone like garbage. They're narcissists who don't give a shit about anyone else.

I hope they actually explode.

“Morale has never been lower,” the senior lawmaker said.

With any resemblance of morals thrown out of the window long ago, this is only fitting.

Any Republican going is a chance for the American people to fix the current situation.

Party of traitors, pedofiles and Cowards

They'll all quit and Trump will declare congress is no longer necessary

There is a lot of policy failure and blowback that contributes to this, but I like to think the party and the people are finally unable to tolerate Trump’s narcissistic abuse.

This idea of a government based on the destruction of perceived enemies is not sustainable, and is constantly eating itself for sustenance. At some point, you have to actually figure out where money for food is going to come from and screaming into the void about Democrats, immigrants, and abortion doesn’t pay the bills. The American people need healthcare, housing, education, childcare, food, and hope. NOT ICE raids, bizarre southern military excursions, shutdowns, and traumatized federal workers.

To me, this is a wonderful reminder that our votes still matter, and our system - as large and slow and complex as it is - has careful structure and momentum. The Republican Party still must respond as such.

Promise?

They are probably trying to get out in front of something bad enough that their lifetime benefits may be revoked. Better to leave with a little than stay and lose it all.

And yet they all fall in line when it's time to c vote. How angry can they really be?

A man can only dream.

Finger's crossed that Boebert is on the list

Gov. Brian Kemp will have to call for a special election. With Greene’s announced resignation date of Jan. 5, 2026, the northwest Georgia district will go without representation on Capitol Hill until a new congressperson is elected.

I'll believe it when I see it. Until then, my magazines remain loaded.

Hey Mycroft, cue Iron Sky by Paolo Nutini (One of many unofficial peoples global theme songs)

The people have the power. If any of you are not active yet in your communities join them for your city/town/state.

Indivisible, 50501, Run For Something, Marc Elias/Elias Law Group (Follow on Social Media), any other groups getting things done

They all intersect together either way and will more than likely find other people that you can collaborate with. Many of us are doing, many of us are getting more people to do, and many of us are succeeding despite any setbacks.

Look at the skills you have, and figure out what you want to focus on with others.
