The Republican Party has a reputation ⏤ hence the name “the stupid party.” They nominate poor candidates, fight with each other, and then govern against the will of the people they supposedly represent.
Recently, several House Republicans have abruptly resigned, pushing the House closer to Democrat control with now only a one-vote majority. Reps Kevin McCarthy, Ken Buck, and Mike Gallagher fall into this category.
Are they resigning “to spend more time with the family”? Or are they being financially induced to leave Congress? Or is “kompromat” affecting their decisions?
Regardless of the reason, as the House slips closer toward Democrat control, this could spell the end of Donald Trump’s reelection bid and push America closer to one-party totalitarian control, far from the Constitutional Republic we once knew.
The Colorado Supreme Court tried to keep Trump off the ballot, calling him an “insurrectionist.” The US Supreme Court heard the case and, in their opinion, stated that Congress could make this determination via the legislative process.
Once the Democrats control the House, they could declare Trump an insurrectionist and ineligible for election. The US Supreme Court would not likely object, as it already greenlighted this process in its decision.
Democrats could also stack the Supreme Court, adding four far-left justices, leaving a liberal majority free to gut the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
Legislation has already been introduced for both measures. With Democrat control of the House, Senate, and Presidency, there is nothing to stop this.
Speaker Mike Johnson is not helping the cause through recent actions. He pushed legislation to build the corrupt FBI a new headquarters, extended warrantless spying on Americans through FISA, and spent $100 of taxpayer dollars on Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan while providing zero funding or legislation curbing our open borders.
Some Republican. Democrats will likely want to keep him as Speaker as he is supporting their agenda. Even if Republicans remove him, who will replace him? A new Speaker who is the same or even worse? What if a few Republicans vote with the Democrats for Rep Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker?
A faction of Never-Trump House Republicans is hell-bent on destroying their party and defying the wishes of their constituents, all out of spite toward mean-tweeting, name-calling Donald Trump.
This is a slippery slope, one we may not be able to recover from as a country if we continue our slide into one-party rule and tyranny.

From my experience, no creature could possibly be more stupid, ignorant, biased and ideological than your typical lib Commie-cRAT. In comparison, MANY Repubs are basically weak, spinless, craving praise from the left media and willing to wimp-out and cave to the left to just “get along”.
