  1. Remember way last week when they had a hearing on impeaching Biden? Here’s what we’ve learned since …

  2. They might want to remove their sucking mouths from Bad Grandpa’s prolapsed anus. It’s been eight years of sucking, folks.

  3. They are just paying the vig. They will never pay off the loan.

  4. I will believe it when things start to actually break up.

  5. yeah they locked in undemocratic fascist minority rule at the supreme court for the rest of my lifetime, they’re still winning beyond their wildest dreams.

  6. The GOP will never be a valid option for people of good faith again.

  7. Wrong. We are paying the price of this non functioning House and the attack on our democracy.

  8. The Republican party has been “falling apart” my entire life. I won’t hold my breath.

  9. I saw breathless headlines like this about Trump’s imminent doom all the way up to the 2016 election and I’ll believe the MAGA Republicans are “paying the price” the moment they are permanently out of power, not a goddamn day sooner.

    This is even dumber than looking at a cockroach you just smacked once with a shoe and going “well, he’s finished.” Coming back from fatal blows in absolute defiance of reason is *Trump’s entire thing*. (Heh. See Revelation 13:3. Blows my mind that this verse wasn’t a huge red flag for the alleged-Christian right…)

  10. This is exactly on point…

    “The GOP today is less a political party and more an inchoate mass of cultural grievances, conspiracy theories and lowest common denominator political slogans. Trump, for all his toxicity, is a symptom of the GOP’s decades-long descent into madness. Legislating is not seen as a tool for bettering the plight of the American people but rather an opportunity to troll Democrats and play to the perceived slights of the party’s rank-and-file supporters.”

    The GOP has no interest in rational governance to the benefit of the US citizenry. And don’t seem to believe that such a thing is even desirable. Often they seem to want to wield power just to prevent someone else from wielding power. And at the state level seem wholly devoted to jousting woke windmills.

  11. >Like other principled Republicans, Romney is choosing to walk away, and it’s hard to blame him. His criticisms of Trump have led to death threats and he is now spending an estimated $5,000 a day on private security.

    Holy shit

  12. they’ll be paying the price when they lose most of their seats in Congress until then I’m doubtful

  13. We all hate Trump (well, most of us), but if he ends up being the thing that brings the GOP down, then he will truly go down as Democracy’s most useful idiot.

  14. If there is anything conservatives hate more than fair elections brown people, it’s America.

  15. Once the GOP loses the White House and both houses of Congress in 2024, the headline may be true.

  16. “Help! This monster we created is trying to destroy us! Who could have foreseen such a thing!”

  17. An overwhelming blue tsunami is the knock out punch.
    We need all 3 chambers, by big margins. Then proceed to codify SCOTUS term limits and RvW. Brace for violent pushback tho.

  18. Not nearly enough. True justice for the Republican Party would be the negation of its existence and the incarceration of its members.

  19. Are they though? Because I haven’t seen any consequences yet.

  20. Having seen this exact same thing happen to the Tories in the UK, I’d say this:

    Do NOT count your chickens.

    With all the sane people out of the GOP gone, the only people left will be the lunatics and those lacking the spine to stand up to them.

    At which point, the infighting stops and they can present a united front again.

    As soon as this happens, they become ten times more dangerous – because they might actually get in.
