Some things never change . . .

“The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity .…They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.”
Vice President Henry A. Wallace, April 9, 1944.

Mccarthy has no choice, he has no control. Trump showed the party how to act, and now Republicans will have republican primaries to win…

Qevin is a spineless parasite, trapped by his fear of both Orange Foolius and the 1/6 investigation.
He will do nothing, while he sweats and waits for the horrible end of it all. Kind of like this guy.

Oh, you are right and McCarthy really wants to be Speaker of the House. He and the rest of the leadership could make a principled stand for civility. He won’t because his only path to the Speakership is through the batshit caucus.

History does repeat itself. We have the return of the fascists and the robber barons.

Rittenhouse resonates with Republicans because they are absolutely celebrating, with varying degrees of common sense to keep quiet about it, their ability to groom and egg a dumb teenager on, until he actually goes through with what they ALL WANT and have all fantasized about for years. They want AOC dead. They want Rep. Omar dead. AOC asked on the House floor what’s so hard about condemning violence; it’s hard because they SUPPORT violence so strongly it’s difficult to keep under wraps.

Schiff believes that McCarthy is an empty suit who will say and do anything to further his own interests.
So do we all.
Doesn’t faze McCarthy any that everyone (including the GOP) knows it too.
As Star Trek’s Spock would say, “Fascinating”
ETA…By the way, Schiff has, at various times, stated this to O’Donnell and others. He has a wry sense of humor and the put down was relatively gentle (for the Trump Era). But the sentiment was there.

AOC’s speech about this yesterday was really, really good…she was the target and she really got into why this was such a bad thing. It’s such a mismatch…you have people like her advocating to spend more money to help people at one extreme, and then you have people like Gosar advocating to kill her based on propaganda told about her.
At some point someone is going to be attacked over this, Republicans are creating an atmosphere of violence purposefully to try to force everyone else to do their bidding…it’s working on Republican politicians who think this stuff is garbage but refuse to stand against it, the question is if it’s going to work on the rest of the nation and they do get to take over and suppress dissent with violence.

I’ll bet good money that, win or lose the congressional minority, he’s replaced as Speaker by one of the the true believers. Scalise, maybe? Someone odious, to be sure. Kev knows this and, I’m betting further, he will become “more trumpier than thou” as next November approaches.

So much for 80 years of “progress.” It’s amounted to faster, more effective ways of conveying propaganda and promoting disunity, which are now available to every man … and his dog.

It’s too bad the big Rocky Mountain Oyster event (a/k/a the “Testicle Festival”) has been canceled. The sponsors could have gotten this year’s provisions from the Republican side of the House Chamber, at no cost.
That inventory was already empty.
