They courted the fringe loonies and welcomed them into their caucus, and now they are upset that they can't control them? Sorry republicans, the cancer has spread too far, there's no easy fix. It will be fun watching the dumpster fire though.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I agree, but this dumpster fire is burning inside the US government. It's going to take some critical stuff with it as it burns itself out. :(
And who else would even be willing to run as a Republican other than lunatics and grifters at this point?
Hopefully someone who is really a conservative as opposed to all the populasts.
Such as?
I wish I knew.
So not seeing head fuckface, Matt Gaetz, getting extreme flak from Florida.
Guy is a pedo and literally has receipts for underage hookers and Florida is cool with it.
underage ~~hookers~~ trafficking victims
Underage ~~trafficking~~ rape victims.
I mean what is the point of owning a few senators/Congress peoples if they can't pass any fuckin bills lol
MuwahAhahahahaa Yesss! Excellent! Yes, fight and struggle! Mwnhahahhahaha
This is Republican incestuous nonsense. McCarthy deserved his mistreatment. He was and is a lying bad-faith conman, no better or worse than the current nutter Speaker. Maybe the current speaker is actually just slightly less of an asshole, so there's that.
He deserved it, but not for the reasons they did it for.
