The House GOP just elected an election denying, anti-LGBTQ bigot as Speaker. In other words, he perfectly sums up today's MAGA GOP.

And yesterday when a reporter tried to ask this nasty little fascist about his election denial, nastier little fascist Virginia Foxx told him to shut up. They also managed to jam most of the white MAGA Christo-fascists on the stage behind him. If they do elect him, we will be asking ourselves again - what is worse, a do-nothing House with no Speaker or a do-nothing House run by a nasty little fascist doing Trump's bidding?

Your first sentence is spot on. There are no good republicans in the House. We exacerbate problems when we don’t remove seditionist-supporting and seditionist inciting members of Congress. I still predict a nasty blowout in this next election. The dominoes keep falling & running away from trump.

I literally feel sick. I am beyond disgusted with the republican party both as a chamber of depravity, and as a mechanism for crushing the hard work Biden has been doing. This does not bode well for deadlines approaching in the next three weeks. I hope voters everywhere are looking at this, and that they have enough sense to vote these sick barbarians out of Congress next year.

Dems: No, absolutely no oatmeal cookie.

Repubs: Then how about THIS oatmeal cookie, then?

WTF is wrong with Repubs?

Dean, I wonder if you can comment when you have time on this news that Dean Phillips is now entering the primary against Joe Biden. How selfish, how egomaniacal can someone be to do this when there is such danger to our democracy? What could he be thinking? My research shows that he has voted with Biden 100% of the time, so they obviously don’t have policy differences. What is the point of endangering the entire country through this self-centered act?

I think he’s making a big mistake. He is an unknown, and I think Biden has been a great president who has done great things under the most difficult of circumstances. I do not pay attention to these asinine polls a year out from the election. Biden has more experience than anyone who could run against him. My best guess is that Trump is going to be dead from a coronary before we even get around to November 2024, so I’m not worried about him at all. All Phillips is doing is going on an ego trip that’s going to hurt us all.

Who needs enemies when we have Democrats like this. I hope Phillips falls flat on his face within the first four weeks of this idiotic adventure he’s on. I hope he didn’t pay too much for that blue bus.

Oh for the days when Obama was president........

None of this fascist movement was there

Will America ever be sane again after trump has left his MAGATS and in prison? IF the Courts get him out forever with the 14th Amendment there's hope..

The movement was in hiding. Then trump opened the cages and let all the crazies loose. He gave them permission to act out.

A padded room comes to mind...

That’s where he and all his groupies belong. A very large padded room.

This is what happens when the middlemen in Congress are not held to account for engaging in sedition on 1/6/21. It’s apparent that legal accountability is focused on those who breached the Capitol or engaged in violence outside, on Trump, along with flipping just enough of his inner circle to get his conviction. Not so the 147 members of Congress--like the new SOTH--who look to be avoiding any accountability for their wholesale violations of their oaths of office. The J6 attempted coup continues...

His policies and actions don't cut the mustard. Hope Dems will start crafting campaign ads to remind voters of that!
