He counts? He claimed the election was stolen. How about that for not knowing how to count?

The closet is a lonely place, especially for GOP operatives.


A staffer for Herschel Walker’s Senate campaign has alleged to The Daily Beast that longtime Republican activist Matt Schlapp made “sustained and unwanted and unsolicited” sexual contact with him while the staffer was driving Schlapp back from an Atlanta bar this October.

The staffer said the incident occurred the night of Oct. 19, when Schlapp, chair of the American Conservative Union and lead organizer for the influential Conservative Political Action Conference, “groped” and “fondled” his crotch in his car against his will after buying him drinks at two different bars.

Every accusation is an admission with these people.

I would love someone to give me one reason to have any respect for any republican congressperson.

Republicans were too busy sorting out Kevin McCarthy's speakership bid to join a January 6 commemoration on the riot's 2-year anniversary.

On Friday morning, lawmakers gathered on the East front steps of the US Capitol to honor the police officers who died or were injured during the Capitol riot two years ago to the day.

Just one Republican appeared to show up to the ceremony: Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania. One.

How does the USA survive with the House being constructed in its current form? At least the Senate can do a check on them if the House passes anything. Hopefully the Democrats will vote no on everything that the House brings up like the GOP did for the past two years. However, I think that the GOP will concentrate on impeaching President Biden and investigating Hunter Biden, who has nothing to do with government issues at that time unlike the previous President and his son-in-law

I don't see that as the problem. Biden can veto any legislation they pass, together with the senate.
The problem will be with the things they DON'T pass. The idea that they are open for the USA to default on its debt is basically financial Armageddon FOR THE WORLD. It will create a world-wide recession. So, basically, the entire world is now hostage to 20-some American lunatics. Because, if they do not approve a budget or a debt increase, there is nothing for Uncle Joe to veto.

And, of course, the simplest way to pay for the debt (a tax on Wall Street/Financial market transactions) will not be approved because, god forbid, the brokers there will not be able to buy their fifth Rolex. And we know we can't allow that.
