The Russian flagged ship 'House Republicans' is sinking of the weight of it's own ignorance.

The Republicans are deserting the sinking MAGA Republican ship. Will the Speaker of the House go down with the ship as a Captain should or will he abandon ship with the rest of the Republicans? Will MTG succeed with her mutiny? Stay tuned to find out.

unfortunately most of the rational republicans have been run out of congress over the last decade or so, and there are not many left to give up on the insanity.

It's ironic that these morons are talking about who will be a better Speaker than Tiny Johnson in the next Congress, like they have any chance of holding the house. The next Speaker will be better than any of the incompetent idiots put forward during the least effective Congress in history. The next Speaker will be Hakeem Jeffries.

Why don't they all quit? They're all nothing but worthless cowardly losers.

They're waiting to see if Trump gets killed off first.

Would any moderate Republican be able to vote on aid to Ukraine or for immigration reform against Trump's wishes?
