She told McCain supporters to get out, so they did.

I do believe a couple of those are against the law. Even in Texas.
King Abbott is above the law.
Well, if he wants to send “troops” into Mexico to battle cartels, I wouldn’t stop him. Something good would come out of it
a) cartels defeated
b) Abbott arrested and carted off to The Hague for waging war without a license
Either is good
This makes me happy…
It’s on, and by “it” I mean the Republican civil war.
…
Hehe. Couldn’t happen to a nicer more appropriate party.
The Republicans wanted a civil war, they kept saying there was going to be one, kept agitating about it.
Now they have it. I don’t know why I was concerned that they meant they were going to have a civil war with the Democrats.
That first one, for example. These people are asking for asylum. Different set of rules.
America’s Front Line Doctors is a right wing organization that includes “Doctor” Stella Immanuel (who said that women who have sex dreams are having sex with demons, and advocated hydroxychloroquine to cure covid). Their founder, Simone Gold, went to jail for her part in 1/6. She is now out of jail, and the organization is having a civil war over her using organization funds to buy a multimillion dollar house for her and her boyfriend The boyfriend is awaiting sentencing for his role in 1/6.
It’s all about the Grift.
I really wonder what his end game is with these actions. He just won an election. Early jump on GOP 2024?
Of course. He’s pissed DeSantis is out-crazying him at the moment. Time to grab those headlines back!
Rick Scott, who was in charge of the failing Republican Senate campaign, is running for Minority Leader because McConnell failed at something, something.
How badly will Skeletor Scott get spanked?
argle-bargle…
I was under the impression that “advancement” was a liberal idea, and conservatives would like to go back in time.
Conservatism is about careful, measured progress, as opposed to the unbridled forging ahead into new territory that liberals and progressives tout. In other words, the “conservatives” of today are actually mostly reactionaries. Except for their promotion of a caste system with ever-increasing hurdles for the plebes to try to get over in order to better themselves.
Which is why I don’t use the term on Republicans, and discourage others from doing so.
Its not even going back in time, because many of the positions that the Republicans take were never a position even in the past. They on the other hand just always take the opposite view of what ever the Democrats do, their basically Bizarro world Democrats.
Democrats: We support Ukraines defense against Russia
Bizarro Democrats: Me support Russia defense against Ukraine.
Democrats: We like cold strawberry ice cream waffle cones on a hot day
Bizarro Democrats: Me like hot strawberry steamcream on a pancake cube.
Herschel Walker: Vampires are cool people, but I want to be a werewolf because werewolves can kill vampires.
