This got me thinking about this: Opinion: Lindsey Graham getting booed at Trump rally is both hilarious and alarmingI must admit it was fun to watch Graham bomb with the audience, but the roasting was another reminder of how some Trump supporters demand absolute loyalty to the former president. In a similar way MTG getting booted is hilarious but at the same time alarming that the Freedom Caucus is moving so far right that she is no longer fringy enough to be welcome among them.

McCarthy put MTG on some very important committees as a reward for helping him get the speakership. She's not fit for any of them. Total nut case without the knowledge to do any good.Fixed

I think Boebert was served with divorce papers also. What a surprise. I think that the brunettes and the blondes should have the same consideration. Funny, ain't it, how the blondes seem to always be asking for more? ⁉️

Or - if the far right keeps stabbing their own in the back that would be one way to reduce the number of far right whack jobs. Marge comes from a far right district- some of her voters may turn away from her if they think she’s not far right enough. They would never vote for a dem but they might vote for another GOPer in the next primary - that will be the only way this district will ever get rid of her.

From the article which sums up the GOP. They continue to prove they can't govern. The House Freedom Caucus is divided against itself. House Republicans are divided amongst themselves over impeachment. House Republicans are divided amongst themselves over appropriations bills. House Republicans are divided amongst themselves over the resolution of the party’s own debt ceiling crisis. Senate Republicans are divided against House Republicans over military spending. House Republicans from competitive districts are divided against House Republicans from ruby-red districts.

House Republicans from competitive districts are divided against House Republicans from ruby-red districts. Here’s another GOP fight - a far right fringe candidate for senate in Montana- Matt Rosendale - is considering running for senate against a main stream GOPer (Sheey). The state GOPers are feverishly trying to throw support behind Sheey. They’re eating their own - but they know MAGA candidates can’t capture the independent voters they need to win in a general election. MAGA is a loosing strategy.
