“Most people who vote or claim they do don’t understand our system of government!”

You don’t refute what I say.

Anyway, I’m happy as long as the many people that “don’t understand our government” look at their lives, what’s going on around them, take in a little news, and vote for their own interests.

"Lauren Boebert is a scoundrel of the highest order. Dang. More gonads than most male house members. Nominating Donalds on votr 5"

which explains why the fully functional Colorado vote cheating system allowed her to win

This is the natural outcome of election theft. Can’t cheat The House vote. One of the last remaining relics of our dead democracy.

“Everything’s on the table,” said McCarthy ally Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C. — except, he said, having the leader step aside. “Not at all. That is not on the table.”


This guy is a jerk. He believes politicians should not be compelled to return FTX contributions which were provided by fraudulent means, but should return the money to those defrauded if they feel they should.

“Nearly every person on FR has at one time or another said Republicans don’t how to fight and have bitterly complained about leadership.”

I agree.

Criticizing RINOs and then endorsing Kevin McCarthy for Speaker of the House is a bit bizarre.

Yes, but there are worse. Scalise is far from perfect, but it would be a step in the right direction. It might also be as much as we could expect. Although Jim Jordan would be great, I don’t think that the left-wing of the Party would vote for him.

This is just plain stupid and makes the party look ridiculous in the eyes of those that don’t understand the system of government that we embrace.

You do realize that one of the rules that they are fighting for is to allow members to offer amendments once again. Chip Roy says this hasn't been possible since 2016. The current system is utterly broken as proven by the 1.7 trillion bill that was rammed through. McCarthy has proven he wants nothing but the status quo out of Congress.

They can spend the next two years voting for a speaker for all I care. Congress, as it currently sits, is not something that benefits the American people.

*************

Our system is broken. Its chaotic, corrupt and dysfunctional.

Just the way the elites want it.
