    It would have counted for far more had he not waited until after retiring from Congress to actually speak openly about the shit flinging in his own party.

    It’s always “former” or “outgoing” any time a GOP member is vocal like this. Even among those willing to push back against the MAGA agenda, they’ll only do it when they can afford to piss off the extremist freaks they need to win elections. What a toxic Party…

      It’s because they are all cowards. Every single one of them. Liz Cheney was close at the end to showing she has a spine, but she saw the writing on the wall before her exit was official, so it was basically “outgoing” it just wasn’t official.

      Most of the people leaving are doing so because the MAGAs don’t follow the 11th commandment, not because of any of the things the party is doing. Specifically the breaking point seems to have been them campaigning against sitting Rs in the House.

        11th commandment. What pious cunts. Such decor if religion to then turn around and completely disregard it. Jesus feeds the needy, Jesus hangs with the downtrodden. These people are Pharisees, nothing more.

    Odd “reporting” by a “news” outlet: taking under consideration a clearly religious comment and treating it as debatable? Green can espouse what ever she likes in her beliefs, it doesn’t make it news.

    Too bad for The Hill to have shucked off their journalism degrees in favour of populist zealotry.

      What are you on about? Buck is criticizing Greene because she is threatening to oust Johnson for pushing to pass a Ukraine aid package. She is carrying water for the Kremlin.

        Yeah, I had to read it a couple times to figure out what he was trying to say. No American talks like that.

        But don’t tell him which mistakes he made. We shouldn’t help train the trolls.

          Yea, that was generated and translated by AI. It’s oddly structured, and the vocabulary used doesn’t really line up with with the lack of knowledge on how to formulate a comprehensible sentence. It’s a small step above Google translate, 10 years ago.
