Sit Back And Enjoy The GOP Shit Show

The Republican Party is falling apart and there’s nothing they can do about it at this point. As Republican Representative Kevin McCarthy pointed out, maybe the Party just needs to hit rock bottom in order to realize how much of a freak show they’ve become. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

I don't watch their TV shows. I don't listen to anything any of their RWNJ talking heads has to say about anything or their opinions on anything. I COULD CARE LESS!

Nonetheless, the shitstorm that erupted after misstep McCarthy mysteriously dropped out as the new speaker of the house, has been just like Farron Cousins suggested, a freak show that they've had coming for a long time. I'm actually interested in watching them eat their own at this point.

Calling Obama a ‘Weakling,’ Chris Christie Says He Would Shoot Down Russian Planes Over Syria

Languishing at the bottom in polls of the Republican presidential field, Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey ramped up his tough talk on foreign policy on Monday, calling President Obama a “weakling” and saying that the United States should threaten to shoot down Russian planes conducting airstrikes in Syria.

“My first phone call would be to Vladimir, and I’d say, ‘Listen, we’re enforcing this no-fly zone,'” Mr. Christie said on MSNBC. “And I mean we’re enforcing it against anyone, including you. So don’t try me. Don’t try me. Because I’ll do it.”

Mr. Christie went on to say that Mr. Putin was “punching above his weight” and called Mr. Obama “this weakling in the White House.”

In a separate interview on Fox News, Mr. Christie said the United States faced a choice between letting Russia try to reconstitute the Soviet Union by expanding its influence in the Middle East or engaging in a military confrontation. Asked whether he thought it was wise to engage in a military conflict with Russia if it breached such an American no-fly zone, Mr. Christie said it would be necessary.

I agree it is a freak show. Unfortunately we have a two party political structure in this country. We need a loyal opposition both dedicated to governance. Even if they have different ideas as to how that is to be done. We can't survive when one is dedicated to burning down the government.
