Do you have a response to whether Democrats are going to feel unsafe? Should they feel unsafe?" "Absolutely not. They should not feel unsafe," Boebert beamed, boasting that "if they do, they should come see me for a concealed carry weapons permit, and I can make sure that they are locked and loaded in Washington”" Steve Thomas Would anyone here feel safe in the U.S. Capitol in 2023, without the metal detectors? I, certainly, wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Bauer Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 As a tax paying law abiding American citizen I am disgusted and angered with the Republican members of Congress wasting our federal government responsibility needs time and energy on this circus, all while being paid from our tax dollars. Not only are you wasting precious United States governing time and energy...you are making a mockery of our Congress, it's business and it's integrity at the same time. This failed house speaker spectacle is sending a disheartening kind of message to our young people regards seeing our highest legislative body at it's worst. Stop this childish tomfoolery. Will you?

Matt Allison Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Let's have a look at the results of the 2022 mid-terms: Governorships? Won by the Dems. Everything running smoothly. Secretaries of State? Won by the Dems. Everything running smoothly. U.S. Senate? Won by the Dems. Everything running smoothly. U.S. House? Won by the GOP. Total sh*t show. No SOTH. No new members sworn it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Gallaway Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 These hard core 5 or so obviously hate him. This despite the fact that he's sold his soul to get this job! He's already made a number of concessions. He's been asked to lower the threshold to make it easier for his ouster should he not deliver to these crazies in the future! I'm not sure what's behind it. Maybe they never forgave him for first blaming Trump after the 1/6 riots before doing an abrupt about face and selling out and going back to Mar a Lago to kiss Trump's ring?.

Most of those MAGAs are evil, not stupid (with some obvious exceptions) and just like normal Americans, they know McCarthy has no moral compass, no core beliefs, and is entirely untrustworthy.

Kirk Gallaway Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) Matt, No, Mac Carthy didn't go far enough for them. These guys are scum. All but 2 of the 20 are election deniers. They're down on him because he first denounced Trump after 1/6. Edited January 5, 2023 by Kirk Gallaway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Gallaway Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 It's strange that it's come to this. That Kevin Mac Carthy is the good guy, but what sort of moral authority figures do the Republicans have? Lindsey Graham?, Ted Cruz?, Jim Jordan?, Josh Hawley? ,Rand Paul?, Ron Johnson?, Little Marco? I know I'm forgetting someone. But it became so crystal clear after they came in contact with Trump. Then Trump just sucked them in, then just kept turning on the screws and abusing them, and making them look like fools, and would eventually end up throwing them out for trash! Still they brush themselves off, and are relentlessly back in your face! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
