    And…Matt Gaetz… Human Sex Trafficker extraordinaire of all people… was what set this all in motion. And the GOP is usually the party that moves lock-step with one another. It’s hilarious to finally see.

      Wasn’t he the one that insisted on the “I can oust you whenever I want” provision in the first place? It would have been more surprising if he hadn’t done it…

      It’s great to watch. The GOP hate, and I mean really hate, each other. Up until now though they could hate the Democrats more and that would unite them. Not anymore. I don’t think the Democrats are lovey dovey or anything but they can work together. The Republicans are going to rip themselves apart, especially if the Democrats become irrelevant.

      The nominal head of their party stated on camera in front a large group of people: “I don’t take any responsibility at all.” It’s part of the conservative’s DNA.

      Dems don’t understand the meaning of the word responsibility either.

    I mean, in the interest of being technically correct every democrat did vote against him. Why would they vote for a republican? That makes no sense.

      Did the first 15 votes against him give the GOP any sense that the Dems would turn around and vote for him on vote #16? Apparently, the GOP can’t do pattern recognition.

      Well in theory an opposition party that didn’t agree with everything the GoP does to begin with would offer up a compromise candidate with concessions to their parties legislative priorities even if they were a “republican”. But since Dems exist to provide cover for the same lobbyists that fund the GoP and ensure that a leftist party can never get elected in a first past the post system, they don’t actually care one way or another.

    Both parties are full of elite, war mongering, authoritarians. Take your pick conditioned slaves.
