Republicans: continued

Conservative think tank dude thinks government agencies cannot be controlled. only capitalism creates a responsible service (to sell)

The problem is that USG is facing the fact of Chantrill’s Law: “government programs cannot work because you can never reform them.” Pensions? Health care? The only thing our leaders have done recently is try to squeeze in more free stuff with ObamaCare and add stealth income taxes to Medicare. Education? But our teachers don’t feel safe!

Obviously, the only way we will ever reform today’s government -- the backed-up sewer of a century of educated-ruling-class vote-buying -- is through a massive smashup. And if you ask me, the Biden agenda brings that date forward.

Now, our liberal friends can only think within their own worldview, which privileges noble educated youth fighting the oppressors for justice. But in the coming years they will find themselves tangled up in a struggle with a force that is neither revolutionary nor directed from above. The monster that devours progressivism will be an instinctual, chthonic, semiconscious rebellion from the depths of common humanity. And our liberal friends won’t have a clue what to do about it.

Ah, the American Thinker. A force to be reckoned with, along with the American Tincture - 3 parts vermouth, 2 parts sour grapes.

...an instinctual, chthonic, semiconscious rebellion...

Right, so no rational thought involved. Fits right-wing red-necks to perfection!

Source tells me that roughly half the House GOP conference gave Marjorie Taylor Greene a standing ovation after she rose to speak a few min ago.

Rep. Lauren Boebert’s mileage reimbursement “raises red flags,” ethics experts say

She paid out more than $22,000 to herself from campaign account; sum far surpasses predecessor’s reimbursements

Maybe she did a few Indy 500s while campaigning...

They kept Cheney in leadership, but also decided to stand behind Greene the delusional. Can't alienate the RWNJ wing, because in the past five years it's grown to be a significant part of the base. It appears that Greene represents the ascendant element of the party while Cheney represents old news, branded by the Trumpists as a RINO.

'Cheney Survived, but Greene Thrived in House GOP Showdown'

When two parallel political dramas collided in a House Republican conference room on Wednesday night, the result was a telling one for the future of the party after Donald Trump.

In fact, it’s almost like he never left.

In a marathon closed-door meeting, Republican lawmakers closed ranks around Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), the QAnon-sympathizing conspiracy theorist, while some spent hours dragging Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), the third-ranking House Republican who voted to impeach Trump for inciting the Capitol riot on Jan. 6.

Cheney ultimately survived a challenge to her position in leadership in a conference vote Wednesday night, on a vote of 145 to 61, according to multiple reports. She will remain chair of a GOP conference that is hurtling down a very different path than the one she might want. Meanwhile, Greene—who was revealed last week to have endorsed social media posts calling for the assassination of Speaker Nancy Pelosi—received a standing ovation from GOP lawmakers after she gave brief remarks defending herself during the meeting, according to Punchbowl News’ Jake Sherman.

What lessons did the GOP learn from their 2020 losses? Stop being so crazy, extreme, hateful, bigoted, stupid, and anti-science? Nope. They learned that they must work harder to stop black people from voting.

Haven't watched the video yet. Recently I saw it reported that there were over 100 pieces of legislation intended to suppress the vote being proposed in Republican-controlled state legislatures.

Meanwhile, per my post above:

'Exclusive poll: Republicans favor Greene over Cheney'

Conspiracist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is far more popular than Rep. Liz Cheney among Americans who align with the Republican Party, according to a new Axios-SurveyMonkey poll.

Why it matters: As the House GOP caucus is being torn over calls to yank Cheney from congressional leadership for backing Donald Trump's second impeachment, and strip Greene from committee assignments for her baseless conspiracy theories and violent rhetoric, these findings show how strongly Trumpism continues to define most Republicans.
