Not a big fan of Kimball, but he expresses the ahem dissatisfaction of the GOP quite nicely.
Play time is over.
This is the first I’m hearing about it, ever. Hand to dog.
American politics is nuts as fuck.
Idk who is dumber, the far left communists or the Far right fascists. Buckle up mother fuckers, because the next 2 years is going to be fucking wild.
You’re going to have dyed hair craziest torching their ass cheeks and gluing themselves to walls because something dr Suess said in a book 200yrs ago.
You’re going to have some crazy fuckers who think we need to return to medieval dark ages and have the church lead us.
Only 2 years? 
either either everybody wakes up and starts using common sense or its fucked.
Damn, it’s fucked then. You got me all excited for a second 
Plenty of stupidity all up, down, and around, but I challenge you to find a left wing trifecta that consistently matches the stupidity from MTG, Boebert, and Gohmert. Not just ones who do stupid things (plenty 9f those to go around, all around too), but actual f’in idiots.

Trump is damaged goods
Trump is still the dominant figure in the Republican Party, and he’ll be the favorite to win the GOP nomination for president if, as expected, he runs again.
But Trump’s place in the party is far weaker after Tuesday. Truth is, if not for the former president’s interventions, the night could have been a lot better for the GOP.
Extremism is a Democratic issue, too
All year — and especially in the closing days of the campaign — Democrats cast themselves as a mainstream alternative to the excesses of the GOP. But despite the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the hundreds of election deniers Republicans put on the ballot, voters on Tuesday did not appear to see it that way.
In preliminary exit polls, about equal proportions of voters said Democrats and Republicans were “too extreme.” The exits mirrored a poll released just before the election by the center-left group Third Way found voters viewed Republicans and Democrats as similarly far from the center.
It hurt Republicans that abortion ranked high on voters’ list of concerns, just behind inflation. And some of the most prominent Republican election deniers went down, including Doug Mastriano, the Republican gubernatorial nominee in Pennsylvania. Lake might lose in Arizona, which few political observers expected.
From another source:
Sarah Huckabee Sanders
Former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) was elected Arkansas governor, becoming the first woman to govern the state.
In a state where former President Trump remains popular, his former aide was favored to win the race over Democratic nominee Chris Jones and Libertarian nominee Ricky Dale Harrington.
Sanders broke fundraising records in the state when she launched her campaign last year and had maintained a double digit lead over Jones in polls leading up to Tuesday.
Sanders, the daughter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, becomes the highest profile figure from Trump’s administration to win their election.

Scalise over McCarthy? Hmmm
That didn’t last long:
REP. STEVE SCALISE: Look, we are going to have our elections next week. I’m supporting Kevin McCarthy for Speaker, and he’ll win that race and ultimately, you have seen us pull together the last few months and focus on the attack against big government socialism. What they have done to our country and economy, is what has united not only Republicans, but we have already won in a number of places Republicans have not won in decades last night, and the races outstanding we can win more of those, which means people in very different places of America said they don’t want big government socialism, and they’re going to give us the House to be that check and balance. And we will go to work for those hard-working families. We ran on an agenda, we will pass the agenda through the House.
JOHN ROBERTS: Be absolutely clear about this. You say you will support Kevin McCarthy and you pledge to not run against him?
REP. STEVE SCALISE: Yeah, and I’ve said it very clearly. I’m supporting Kevin and I think Kevin is going to win next week and we are going to be talking about getting to work. A lot of people like to focus on all of the drama in Washington.
Ugh, if she thinks the GOP is unified, she wrong, bruh.
(nut)case in point:
GOP Rep. Taylor-Greene Blasts “Pathetic, Wimpy” Republicans Blaming Trump: “Short-Sighted And Ridiculous”
And not so nutty:
Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan: The Lesson Of 2022 Is It’s Time For Republicans To Put Trump “In The Rear View Mirror”
Newt Gingrich: There’s An Awful Lot For Republicans To “Reassess” After 2022 “Red Trickle”
Hmm, thread title change imminent.

It is factual.
I’ll hand it to the Republicans; very little gnashing of teeth about stolen elections (except Kari Lake, of course); they’ve pretty well accepted the results
They’ve had so much experience losing that they’re not sore losers like the Democrats.

Trump has been a sore loser about 2020 for over two years now!

Hopefully it’s the end of that nonsense. Election denialism cost the GOP a lot of votes. Both parties should be gracious in defeat when they lose.

I’m thinking more like screaming, rioting, burning stuff down. Trump isn’t really much of a Republican anyway.
