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

[Rhinox]

More than anything, Trump would use being speaker as an excuse to attempt to weasel out of his indictments until after the election. Anything to try to get out from behind the 8 ball.

As far as Gaetz goes, he's the most hated rep, but that really doesn't mean much unless the ethics committee has the smoking gun on all his misbehavior. Just being a douche canoe isn't enough. I mean, hug, Ted Cruz is still in congress. . . . .

Former mayor of Cranston-turned 2024 GOP presidential candidate Steve Laffey is dropping out the race. Says the GOP is dead, Trump should be in jail, and he will be leaving the party.

 

[wonko the sane?]

They don't need any Democrats if they all go together.

If they were capable of voting together: mccarthy wouldn't have needed 15 votes and would still be the speaker of the house.

Heh, claiming low name recognition is part of his problem. I live in Cranston and I've never heard of him until now.

 

[The Predaking]

I couldn't even tell you what state that is in.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Rhode Island.

 

[Ungnome]

Rhode Island isn't a real state, it's just the disputed territory between Connecticut and Massachusetts. People just say it's real so those two states don't start hurling rocks at each other.

 

[Tuxedo Prime]

Next you'll say that Rhode Island clam chowder isn't a thing!

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Rhode Island is a state of mind. Because there's not enough land here to make an actual state.

How do you feel about Curt Schilling and Kingdoms of Amalur there?

 

[DefaultOption]

I don't think anyone who's paid any attention to his post-Red Sox activities, aside from the terminally repressed RWNJs, has any cordial feelings toward Schilling at this point.

Especially after he 'announced' Tim Wakefield's cancer despite his family's explicit wishes to the contrary.

 

[Wheelimus]

I'm petitioning to add a "piece of jive" entry to the dictionary that is just a picture of Curt Shilling.

 

[Pale Rider]

Wow, I was expecting more "Curt who?" responses.

 

[The Predaking]

I only know him from his video game development.

Let's find out how the search for the next Speaker is going.

Ironbite-going that well eh?

 

[Axaday]

I mean...there are some screwballs who have been public about how their attention is more important than getting anything done and they have put their money where their mouth is on many occasions. It is possible that they will just leave the House of Representatives dead for a year and then get kicked out.

I really think the only way forward is going to be for Democrats to vote for a Republican that doesn't stink as bad as others. It will be like a Parliament coalition. The Democrats will SORT OF be back in charge of the House as long as they are careful.

 

[The Predaking]

I think that the Democrats plan to sit back and watch the Republicans tear themselves apart is working quite well at the moment.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

As soon as the Dems back someone, the GOP will unite against that person. Because spiting Dems is more important to them than doing their jobs.
