    McCarthy is selling himself short here. He deserves at least a little credit for this clusterfuck as well. All of these cowards deserve credit. After January 6 they all had the chance to stand up and do the right thing and wrest control of the GOP from Trump and the crazies, but no, they were all too scared.

    While I hate her politics, I have nothing but respect for Liz Cheney.

      I hate that we have to give props to Cheney for not doing a fascism. Talk about low fucking bars. And assuming the country doesn’t fall apart and we somehow survive the infestation of christo fascist scum, we’re still gonna have begin the arduous process of clawing the Overton window back from the position where pieces of shit like her look somewhat normal.

      Louder, for the centrists in the back.

      This was incredibly predictable. The second the GOP didn’t smash the “break glass to deprogram fascists” button after the insurrection, this was always their likely path. These people are in open rebellion against democracy and we should really start treating them more like traitors.

        I’ve been saying even before J6 that we should be treating them and their programming like a Fifth Column, meaning their Tokyo Rose channels - Faux, hate radio, ONAN, etc…
