Quote of the day: House Republicans are not ready for prime time. In a sense, they are better at being in the minority.
This story just gets weirder and wilder. I’m also bewildered by the folks who seem to think Liz Cheney would/could ride to the House GOP’s rescue.
One thing’s for sure. The Israel-Hamas war is currently the 24/7 wallpaper on network and cable news. And that situation looks like it’s about to get a hell of a lot worse. Maybe those headlines will force the House GOP to act like the grown ups Kevin McCarthy claimed to be. Or not.
The utter and complete failure of the Republican Party to put forward any serious plan to replace the Obama health law is really a crazy thing to think about. They have just basically decided to let that fade away like it never happened.
For those with TDS, try to imagine a reason why Trump would publicly criticize a friend and ally for not supporting the assassination of a top Iranian leader (Soleimani). Keep in mind, Netanyahu faces harsh criticism for going hard against Hamas who are likely supported by Iran. Does Trump's criticism help or hurt Netanyahu in the court of public opinion and give Netanyahu some cover for going hard against Iran later? I'm not saying this is why Trump criticized Netanyahu; I can't read his mind. But it is a possible explanation worth consideration.
Try to imagine this. You are in a cult, and your leader is a madman whose only concern is himself. Imagine any sane person burying their x wife on their golf course.
I particularly love the "For those with TDS..." Translation: "I'm ignorantly still supporting a twice-impeached, four times criminally indicted grifter who helped to foment an attack on the US Capitol." Happy Freebie Friday!
“You don’t know me but you insult me.” Please allow me to point out you began your missive with “For those with TDS...” I merely responded in kind. Also, perhaps the reason we don't "know" you is because you choose to hide behind a screen name. At least your cult leader taught you the projection game well. Your nonsensical gaslighting attempts won’t work here. This is an educated audience. Perhaps consider paying for a subscription to this newsletter so you might be better informed and stop believing lies and conspiracy theories, RIWHIT.
No, I don't think you responded in kind at all. That your response was to insult Trump and me directly is a pretty fair indication that you either can't think outside your box or you suffer from TDS. Either way, it appears you are the one in a bubble. As for my identity, that's none of your business and irrelevant. And, for the record, I have been a subscriber for many years and a fan of Mr. Dupree long, long before that. But that is not important either. Again, you don't know me. One does not need to know someone to behave civilly towards them. And I am damn sure you wouldn't talk to my face as you do now safely behind your keyboard, Mr. Eldredge. I hope your publication is doing well.
You’re a hapless pawn trapped in a cult, RIWHIT. I would be delighted to tell you that to your face. Name the place and time, anonymous dude cowering behind a keyboard. Again, your projection is telling and hilariously ironic.
"If you lose, you have to be Speaker."
Lolololololololololol
I haven't been able to find it, but I know there was someone who proposed drawing lots for Speaker in the 1850's
It's not a bad idea in theory. Until you think about folks like Santos and Gaetz being two strokes away from POTUS.

Or I guess the outcome is that the GOP will have to pick a very weak Speaker, because they can't agree on anyone
A "weak" speaker could be more apt to produce bipartisan legislation.
Think about TIm Burchett acting like a grown-up.
................
So much for forcing anyone to do anything. Oh well.
Burchett has become somewhat of a media darling, because he stops for reporters and gives good sound bites
They got used to playing the victim (being a minority) and can't pivot. Especially without Senate control.
Friday the thirteenth seems like a good day for Republicans to get their stuff together.
The GOP is not a governing body. It reminds me of when they were vowed & determined to defeat Obamacare & yet never came up with their own plan.
The utter and complete failure of the Republican Party to put forward any serious plan to replace the Obama health law is really a crazy thing to think about. They have just basically decided to let that fade away like it never happened.
Yeah, because PEOPLE like it!
So I have to wonder. Ted Kennedy died in '09 so what favor did Trump, who didn't become president until early '17, do for him?
Yeah, 77 year olds who babble incoherently like that in public probably shouldn't mock the cognitive skills of the current president.
Good call out.
Why do politicians keep cash in jacket pockets? Herman Talmadge showed us years ago that is not how you do it.
Why do they go to the internet and search for, 'how much is a gold bar worth' LOL
“How much can you make as an Egyptian foreign agent”? Think that’s in there somewhere?
at least be smart enough to use a VPN

You don't know me but you insult me. What's more, you probably enjoyed doing it.
Stop drinking and get help.

Or, stay with me here, the 45th president just babbled some incoherent bullshit into a microphone. Again.
