The GOP collapse on a Continuing Resolution is pretty damned funny. Basically, they punt this issue further down the road, closer to the holidays and closer to the election. It may have come at the expense of aid to Ukraine, but there are some whispers that there will be a straight up-or-down vote in a defense bill that includes aid to Ukraine later this week. We shall see.
Regardless, Matt Gaetz is going to file a motion to vacate if he can. More whispers are that Pelosi is urging Democrats not to save McCarthy. Let the dysfunction of the Chaos Caucus play out over a few weeks. Remind everyone that the GOP is currently not a governing party. They are active insurgents against the 21st century.
I've been dismayed at the rank mendacity that has characterized almost everything the GOP says.
"We have evidence that Joe Biden is incredibly corrupt." No, you don't.
"Trump is the victim of a witch hunt." No, he isn't.
"Nothing bad happened on January 6th." Bullshit.
"We don't really want to deny women the right to choose." No, you do.
What is fascinating is that there are real "no bullshit" moments left in American civic life. You can lie your ass off on Fox News all the live long day, but when it comes time to appear in Court or vote on a bill, the bullshit won't cut it.
Trump is finding that out in court. Repeatedly. The House GOP is finding out that the gun they thought they had loaded at the Biden Administration is actually pointed at them.
In a sane country, Democrats would win 70% of the vote.
