. . . this is why the GOP is in trouble nationally . . . it has become the party of kooks, something that was for the longest time reserved for the Dems. Embarrassing. I sure as hell am glad my rep is not a member of this conference of nuts.

Freedom Caucus: Let Trump Walk or We Shut Down the Government


House Freedom Caucus: Let Trump Walk or We’ll Shut Down the Government
Story by Brett Bachman •

The House Freedom Caucus issued a series of ultimatums Monday, outlining the demands it wants met before the right-wing group’s members will support a measure to raise the U.S. debt ceiling and continue to fund the federal government. Among them: an end to the myriad criminal cases pending against former President Donald Trump (and the so-called “weaponization” of the Justice Department against conservatives), as well as ensured passage of a draconian immigration law and an amorphous demand to end “woke” policies in the U.S. military. “Furthermore, we will oppose any attempt by Washington to revert to its old playbook of using a series of short-term funding extensions designed to push Congress up against a December deadline to force the passage of yet another monstrous, budget busting, pork filled, lobbyist handout omnibus spending bill at year’s end."

That's not their goal, of course, and I think "destroying itself" intentionally is a fantasy. But it may be a consequence.

If they destroy themselves, they will take the country down with them. I have no doubt about that.

Actually, IMO, whether they destroy themselves or prevail with their mission, they will take the country down with them. They already have to significant degree.

This is a long article - it's chilling:

There's never been a time when the Dems could even approach the nuttiness of the current GOP. Policies and arguments that were disagreeable? Sure. Policies and arguments whose stated intent was to shut down the United States Government? Not something that was done. The new GOP reps causing these problems are a bag of nutjobs and whackos kowtowing to the 1/3 of the party that have lost their minds.

Thanks, FOX, trump and all of you trumptards.

Don't get in their way.

Seriously, change your address and register to vote for MTG. M.E. should too. Do some Double Agent stuff and help finish relegating the GOP to the looney bin.

I've got three pretty sensible, practical legislators up here so I'm not a lot of help. Maybe I should have voted Palin for House.

It's like they say about the addicts, they gotta hit rock bottom before they climb out. Let's hurry the GOP along to rock bottom. The sooner they destruct, the sooner we can have a conservative party and candidates that aren't nuts.

You might be correct, but it hasn’t worked on the left.

The left continues to devolve, but the right’s decline is certainly more precipitous.

I think we are seeing why some of the Ancient Greek philosophers had concerns about how to run a democracy and why a true democracy doesn’t work.
