  • Prioritizing over governance? Fully half of his campaign, at least, was promising revenge, and most of the rest was culture wars. Governance has never been his priority, nor that of the dupes who voted for him. He could come out and say he’s leaving the actual busy work of running the country to Vance just so he can devote his full attention to hurting the people he wants to hurt, and the Cult would praise it as brilliant delegation and wish him happy hunting.



  • When Democrat politicians fuck up, other Democrats will absolutely call for, and get, resignations. Even things that boil down to consenting adults in privacy can result in resignations when it’s seen to compromise a politician.

    When Republicans fuck up, the party circles the wagons and goes full defensive. They will absolutely fight to resist any calls to resign, using any tactic they can think of to keep their latest pedo/pervert/con man/criminal in power. Only if the evidence is incontrovertible, and the outcry impossible to ignore, will they ever consider resignation, and as we’ve seen with Gaetz, that’s not even necessarily the end of their career.

    MTG is exactly the kind of brainlet to think that Democrats work the same way Republicans do. She thinks “Release all the Ethics reports” will make Democrats back down, or at least intimidate them. A party agreeing to release ethics reports relating to their own people is utterly unthinkable to her.
