It is about friggin' time and then to point fingers at the Democrats? Today: Washington, D.C. – House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA-23) released the following statement: “Marjorie is wrong, and her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the Holocaust with wearing masks is appalling. The Holocaust is the greatest atrocity committed in history. The fact that this needs to be stated today is deeply troubling. “At a time when the Jewish people face increased violence and threats, anti-Semitism is on the rise in the Democratic Party and is completely ignored by Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “Americans must stand together to defeat anti-Semitism and any attempt to diminish the history of the Holocaust. “Let me be clear: the House Republican Conference condemns this language.” linkThese were not Democrats marching in Charlottesville chanting "Jews will not replace us." These are the folks who Trump said were good people.

Their new motto "never ever take responsibility for anything" Defend and deflect. Protect the lunatics.

Kinsinger says the GOP conference needs to kick MTG out.
Won’t happen, she’s a Trump Barbie and the GOP thinks they can’t win an election without Trump.

Come 2022, there could be a whole new group of Republicans in there who could nominate MTG or similar. Scary thought.

I guess you can be any kind of idiot and as long as you twirl your bedazzled flag and worship Dear Leader you get to be at the head of the GOP.

Marge Greene claims she and Gaetz are leading the America First wing of the GOP and they are taking over the party to make sure it stays with their ‘‘uniquely Anglo Saxon political traditions’
Glad to see they are proudly putting their White supremist position right out in front.
She is claiming she and Gaetz are now in charge of the GOP.
There you go, grand old party, your ticket to the hand basket headed straight to hell, with those two cackling hyenas leading the way.

If it weren't so scary for the country as a whole I would laugh. The republicans made a deal with the devil, now his hellhounds have come for you. Hope it was worth it.
They can all kiss my booty even the ones speaking out. Every single one of them kept their mouths shut one way or another when it suited the party agenda. I am not going to applaud you for figuring out what a shit show it was AFTER January 6th or AFTER Greene and Gaetz took over your party (looking at you Paul Ryan). Too little too late. You should have gotten your shit together and stopped it back in 2016 before he even won the nomination.

Found it. Too much to copy, not severe, but shows a lack of emotional control. nypost.com/2021/01/16/gop-rep-lauren-boebert-and-husband-have-racked-up-arrests/Rep. Lauren Boebert, the gun-toting freshman Republican Colorado congresswoman who ran on a law-and-order platform, has had several dust-ups with police, starting as a teenager.
The 34-year-old lawmaker, who beat her district’s very conservative Rep. Scott Tipton in a primary upset last June, has a rap sheet unusually long for a member of Congress.
Back in June 2015, Boebert was cuffed for disorderly conduct at a country music festival near Grand Junction, Colo., after police said she attempted to interfere in the arrest of minors busted for underage drinking and encouraged the accused to run off.
Lauren Boebert took her revenge in May 2004 during an altercation with Jayson at his home in which she scratched his face and chest and trashed his residence, according to a police report. She was slapped with third-degree assault, criminal mischief and underage drinking charges.
The Boeberts married in 2005, and have four children.

They're just like 'the squad', but for the right. Going by the response, they're doing well. Gets the message out through outrage. Then comes the actual GOP effort of just a little bit more our way as reasonable. In 2020, the more extreme left wanted Bernie as the Democratic nominee. Biden won the nomination. The more extreme right wanted Trump as the Republican nominee. Trump won the nomination. It does not appear that the Republican party is currently moving away from Trump. So when do you envision "(t)hen" happening? Will we see "just a little bit more our way as reasonable" candidates nominated for the 2022 midterms? How about the 2024 GOP Presidential nominee?

Hopefully it won't be too late for the Republic. Nah, they'll just lose elections if it gets too nutty out there. January 6th suggests that "just lose elections" isn't necessarily what will happen.

The Boeberts married in 2005, and have four children. She is no way qualified to hold her current position. Yes, and yet, The GOP elected her.Not only emotionally unbalanced, she's a violent criminal, delusional like most of them. Yes, and yet, the GOP elected her.
Sure sign where the GOP is heading. Yes, it is.

Yep. If you get inside and ask a question she doesn’t want to answer, the cops/security people drag you out. She’s unintelligent and didn’t have to debate anyone (her opponent dropped out of the face). She has to stick to her memorized rah rah Trump talking points. I think Flowers is the ex Marine running against her. If it is, Marge should be scared. He’s an actual patriot.

Have ya'al seen the last garbage from MTG? I'm not on Twitter so I can't copy from her place there...but this is what she said before the copy of the letter...
The last line of the letter prior to her signature....
"We urge your administration to act to provide us with these answers by June 31,2021."

Trump could have pushed for that during his term but preferred to pretend Covid was going away any day now. I do think the most likely explanation is a sample from the Wuhan lab was mis-handled and that's how the whole mess started. I don't think it was created there, which was one of the original RW talking points. Since Trump got a pass on this from MTG, his employee Fauci should get one as well.

Today in Marge News, she visited the Holocaust museum to kiss and make up.
Surprised her shoes didn’t burst into flames when she walked inside.
A Jewish House Dem is pushing to censure her, although I don’t know what good he thinks that will do.
Speculation is that Marge appearing remorseful will make it easier for the GOP to try to censure Rep Omar.
So glad the House has nothing better to do that try to censure each other.
