The Republicans’ descent into dysfunction
Multiple rejections of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker show a party in disarray

This dysfunction is Trump’s true legacy. Those blocking McCarthy’s nomination may revel in that. But ultimately, this zero-sum mentality is self-defeating. Moderate Republicans ought to understand the damage that Trump and his acolytes have wrought — not just to the business of government but to their electoral prospects come 2024 too. That Trump and his anointed candidates have become electoral liabilities rather than dividends was evident in the midterms, which failed to yield the predicted “red wave” of votes. Moderates, and companies traditionally aligned with Republicans, ought not even entertain another Trump presidential nomination. As it stands, the Republican party has proven that it is not in the business of governing, only of keeping the Democrats from governing.

Whell's World.

I am rooting for the gang of six, insurrectionists all of them and never thought this will happen. Enemy of my enemy and McCarthy is a flip-flopping scumbag in my book, is my friend today.

WASHINGTON — Matt Schlapp, one of the nation’s most prominent conservative leaders and a top ally of former President Donald Trump, is being accused of sexually groping a male aide on Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker’s campaign in October.

"He reached in between my legs and fondled me," the former Walker staffer told NBC News in a telephone interview Thursday night.

He should drag that smarmy huckster through the courts. Hope he's got footage to prove it.

Nassau County GOP calls for Santos to resign
https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/11/polit...ign/index.html

“Today, on behalf of the Nassau County Republican Committee, I’m calling for his immediate resignation,” chairman Joseph G. Cairo said at a news conference on Long Island. He was joined by a slate of local party officials and, remotely from Washington, DC, Republican Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, who also called for Santos to step down.

Cairo said the congressman’s campaign was made up “of deceit, lies and fabrication.”

Well yeah, but that pretty much describes the vast majority of Repube pols.

I guess just holding their noses isn't helping. The rest of the GOP having witnessed a bigger liar than Herschel Walker get elected are remaining mum.

It for me does not get any more apparent in the differences between the two parties.


When a Democrat happens to get in trouble like Franken or Weiner and how it all played out. To see what the FK does it take for a Republican to see shame and do the right thing?


Then again we see this Republican party seems to have little problem with forgetting ethics as long as power is the results.

The Missouri House of Representatives has started off 2023 receiving scrutiny nationwide as they have debated the proper attire that women legislators should wear when they are on the floor of the Capitol in Jefferson City, reports the St. Louis Post Dispatch.

The state of Missouri, which was under the nation's critical eye during the racial discrimination protests at the University of Missouri-Columbia in 2015 and 2016, in the immediate aftermath of the Michael Brown killing in St. Louis, has now garnered attention for their House of Representatives for opening a debate that many female lawmakers have decried as sexist.

In this particular case, the Missouri state legislature is considering a ban on women's apparel that exposes bare arms.
