The GOP house era of major cluster----s, which it will be known for, is just beginning...
Speaking of cluster----s, The house GOP is batter-up again on Monday when the house votes on rules changes for the year:
"Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) on CBS’s “Face the Nation” said on Sunday there are “some very great ideas” in the rules proposed, but she’s worried about any “backroom deals” that may have been brokered as McCarthy worked behind the scenes to get the hardline holdouts to vote for him."
“What I saw last week was a small faction… trying to cut backroom deals in private, in secret, without anyone knowing what else was going on,” Mace said, raising concerns about a smaller group within the 20 Republicans who resisted McCarthy."
“We don’t have any idea what promises were made, or what gentlemen’s handshakes were made,” Mace said, adding that the lack of transparency gives her “quite a bit of heartburn.”
"Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas), however, on CBS’s “Face the Nation” Sunday said he doesn’t plan to support the rules package due to a possible cut in defense spending."

You read that right, the house GOP is proposing cutting US defense spending...

"The president's lawyers discovered a small number of documents with classified markings in the garage of President Joe Biden's house in Wilmington, Delaware, the White House said on Thursday."
"A single document was found in a room adjacent to the garage and no documents were found in the Bidens' Rehoboth Beach home, White House Special Counsel Richard Sauber said in a statement. The administration is "fully cooperating" to ensure that the records are handled properly, he said."

I can see our Sec of State Joslyn Benson running for US Senate for Stabenow's seat. There is also US Rep. Elissa Slotkin that would fit well with me as a senate candidate. Attorney General Dana Nessel, the smartest of the bunch, can run for anything she wants and I'll support her. Plus, she the only one that knows how to do a proper Charlie's Angel pose. 



 
 Yeah but they can't lie like Nikki Haley can...

The problem for Rod is that when one is a full blown communist like he is, everybody else looks to be a right wing radical.  smile  tongue
Correction, the above post should read, "The problem for Rich is that he sees anyone who doesn't think the same way he does as being a full blown communist so everybody looks to be a left wing radical."

Jim
Actually, I don't see Larry Hogan, Liz Cheney or Asa Hutchinson as Trump 2 types so I do make exceptions!

You're asking Rich Davis where's he's going with an earlier post? He doesn't know and I'm amazed you think he's going anywhere with any of his posts. I mean that's like trying to find rational people at a Trump rally. Just doesn't happen...

Some of you will disagree no doubt, but I am betting the MSM isnt going to be talking about the Mara Lago thing much anymore LOL
24 documents or so, reportedly routine intel briefings, (you know the kind that Trump never read when he was in office) as compared to 33 boxes and 11000 documents in and around the dining areas and pool of the mira lago club, open to private members and their guests. Yeah Greg, why talk about it...
