What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

This is like the inverse of when PETA tried to get an actual furry convention shut down.

 

[Ironbite4]

The Republicans met and have selected their new leader.

COME ON DOWN JIM JORDAN!

Ironbite-NO YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DIG UP STUPID!

ETA: They also kept Thune.

Senate Republicans vote to keep Thune as leader after election wipeout

Senate Republicans vented their frustrations in three separate meetings on Tuesday after an election wipeout that cost them at least seven Senate seats.

Ironbite-DIG UP STUPID!

 

[wonko the sane?]

They're gambling and that schumer and jeffries will hug things up enough they'll distract the public from republicans.

And, you know, fair bet.

Welp....Massie gets beaten twice.

And the resolution fails 211-204 on a party line vote. The Hegseth impeachment fails.

Ironbite-HEGSETH SURVIVES!

 

[Rhinox]

Jim Jordan as head in Congress. Miller as Chief of Staff. The GOP is doubling down on idiocy and bigotry

When the Democrats said they were going to impeach Hegseth, I assume they meant, you know, after all the majority we just voted for actually got sworn in. What the hell did they think was going to happen?

 

[abates]

The impeachment was triggered by a lone Republican, so the Democrats didn't exactly aim for this to happen.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Frankly, I'm just a little surprised by the party line split. I'd figured republicans were a LOT more petty than that.

 

[KidTDragon]

They're more afraid of incurring the wrath of MAGA. They're cowards above everything else that they are.

Ah. So exactly as planned, then. Make a token attempt at impeachment so it fails and the double jeopardy rule means he can't be impeached again when there's actually support for it.

 

[wonko the sane?]

No, they'll bring the impeachment articles again. I'd be surprised if they even rewrite them. Massey did a good job with it.

Double jeopardy only counts if you actually have a trial.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

They're trying to discredit the attempt. Hey, look, this already failed because of us and they're still at it, why are we they wasting time when you're all suffering because of what we did?
