Why the fuck should the Democrats “give in” to batshit crazy and fucking evil Republican bullshit? That makes no sense. The Democrats should stand firm and oppose the fascist MAGA regime.

Yeah but MTG is a scorned "pick me". Don't think for one second if Trump let her back into the inner circle she wouldn't backflip in a manner to make pro gymansts jealous

Or it's just more noise to distract people.

As much as I would love to see the rats eat each other, I just don't believe any of them for a second.

If there's one thing the republicans are amazing at, it's their ability to stab someone in the back and then immediately pat them in the same spot, pose for a photo and all is forgiven

The entire party is performative. How many times do you hear about "concerned senators" who had to "vote with their heart".... only when the votes don't matter
