What do you think is McCarthy's definition of "carrying out the (GOP) message"?
Hmmmm.

"Trump is God."

Here's the problem in a nutshell:

I know that some of the Republicans here aren't like this.  To this group: I'm sorry to tell you that the above tweet is correct, and trying to cling to the party of the past and hope that it will recover is essentially hopeless.  I know (as a former Republican myself) that this is painful, but it's necessary to deal with the world as it really is, not as you wish it was.  If you believe in the democratic principles of American government, there is no place for you in the Republican Party anymore.  The party as it once was, is dead.

I also know that there are some people here who actively do support the evolution of the party into an Orban-style antidemocratic movement.  In doing so, this group has put themselves in opposition to the American ideal, and as far as I'm concerned they can go to hell.

I'm genuinely curious to see what Cheney's next move will be after she's booted from the leadership.  She's clearly got some principles from which she won't back down, and she doesn't seem the type to take things without fighting back.  Could she end up leaving the party to become an independent?  If so, does she try to burn the party down on her way out?

Why did she not run for Senate in 2020, thus securing her position until after the Trump cancer is wiped out?

She probably would have lost the primary to Cynthia Lummis, her predecessor in the House, who now holds that Senate seat.

Also, I think she had her eye on becoming Speaker.

This makes Trump look far better than he actually is, but it is rather revealing that the liberal mind's worst composite nightmare of a politician is a socialist who casts out neocon war criminals.

I give up.  I've read that sentence three times and I still can't parse the last part.

"Our election was not stolen..."

Why does this need to be said?

Because too many of the Trumpists keep saying it *was* stolen.  This needs to be continually countered.

Stefanik was just voted in to replace her.

Chip Roy's challenge to Stefanik, based upon his claim that she wasn't sufficiently conservative, failed by a substantial margin.

This just goes to show that Republicans no longer care about "conservative" positions.  Chip Roy has a near-perfect rating from Heritage Action and the ACU, while Stefanik scores under 50% with both.

This is hilarious.
