Great, now she can go work as a lot lizard in Barstow for a few years to regain her self-respect.
The story going around is that the Republican women of Congress are in open revolt because they’ve been sidelined and ignored by leadership and the President.
White women discover their status doesn’t overrule misogyny. More at 11.
We’re (not) sorry, but to ride ‘Mister trump’s Wild Ride’ you must be:
- white
- male
- Christian (fake is preferred)
- wealthy
Have they tried getting back in the kitchen and having babies?
- The GOP
The dream of every tradwife, surely.
Republican, for those that are wondering.
Not just any Republican, she was Trump’s nominee for UN Ambassador, until that got withdrawn because the Republicans were losing too many House seats to Presidential appointments.
So, she decided to run for Governor, until a better connected male candidate decided to run instead, so she backed out of that.
It seems like her entire year can be summed up by getting screwed over by other Republicans. No wonder she wants out.
Sigh, fine. Let me find my tiny violin…
Sounds like it really sucks to be her.
I mean it’s really been all unforced errors, so no one to blame but herself
Good fucking riddance traitor
Another indication that the GOP expects a Blue Wave in 2026.
it does have that aftertaste, doesn’t it? Given Mamdani win there’s a chance she did the math and figured that indeed spending time and energy in place where she’s doomed to lose is counterproductive. Or it could be that she’s been informed to not interfere in Big Boys’ game so she decided to bow out.
We always give MAGAts crap for sticking around and praising their leader. How will democrats react when we elect someone that deport twice as many immigrants as Trump, drops more bombs on Muslim countries than Trump, raises twice as much corporate money as Trump did, and has their administration picked by bankers?
Almost as if you should go out and work for a good candidate in the primaries.
I get sick of ‘politically aware’ people who haven’t voted in the primaries who are shocked - SHOCKED! - when an incumbent slides in with 5% of the potential votes because everyone else stayed home.
What would you say to people in West Virginia who voted for Bernie in the 2016 Democrat primary, won him every single county in the state, but than Clinton won the state primary?
What would you say? That they should sit on their hands and do nothing until the perfect candidate magically appears?
Politics is not easy, and progressive politics is twenty times tougher.

I’d tell them to look up The Moral Majority. A right wing conman named Jerry Falwell looked at the GOP and had a grand vision. He went to the small, local GOP clubs and took them over. If twenty people showed up at the last meeting, Jerry’s folks would show up with fifty. They didn’t worry about Congress at first, they went after jobs like county clerk and sheriff. Once they had those they could pressure the big shot.
Richard Nixon did something similar back in the day; after he lost the Senate in 1962 he went on the road and pushed every GOP candidate he could find. By 1968 he had a powerhouse that pushed aside everyone else.
How will democrats react when a democrat democrats?
That’s the issue. We’re quick to talk shit about the Trump ball coddlers, but will completely forgive, as long as there’s a (D) by their name.
Nobody has done the shit Trump has been doing.
That’s only true if you don’t count the US presidents before him. Obama deported more immigrants than Trump, and even ICE under Biden deported more than ICE under Trump.
I have a sneaking suspicion that there will be more GOP reps who will be looking to “spend more time with their families” in the coming months.
HOW can this Happen? She KISSED the Chocolate Starfish!
Good.
Ah man I was hoping she would leave in January with Marge.
