No slamming? No blasting? Not even a stern finger waving? Gee whiz, whatever will they do?
“As we have said before, the Biden Administration stands ready to work in good faith to accommodate Congress’ legitimate oversight needs,” Ian Sams, a White House spokesperson on GOP investigations, said in a statement. “However, with these members joining the Oversight Committee, it appears that House Republicans may be setting the stage for divorced-from-reality political stunts, instead of engaging in bipartisan work on behalf of the American people.”

Completely accurate; the whole "big lie" concept that if you repeat a lie has infected the entire republican party and spread to their constituents to the point it's wild to see most of the things they believe and support. It's like they want to drag us back over a century >

"1776" wasn't just a cry for revolt.
They all want to go back and reverse what happened at that time. To reinstall a monarchy. It gets talked about all the time in 'dark' [triad] corners of the net.
MtG has already spouted that the US constitution is "dead". It goes on and on all through the Cvlt45. >

Hell, back before it was banned, I remember seeing people screenshotting posts of them calling for Donald to be appointed king with the crown passing on to his children >

Yep! \^The Orange King \^ >

The King in Orange >

I think I prefer Chambers' The King in Yellow >

The inmates are running the asylum. >

I’m waiting to hear that Gaetz is going to be on the Education committee and will be conducting “research” at a local high school. >

Nah, they're too old.  More like at a middle school. >

It's important to understand the GOP has been overtaken by psychopaths. They're holding their legislation hostage. They're no longer interested in policies that people like. >

Good policy is hard.  Outrage porn is much easier >

History echoes 

On 30 January 1933, Hindenburg appointed Adolf Hitler as Chancellor to head a coalition government; Hitler's far-right Nazi Party held two out of ten cabinet seats. Von Papen, as Vice-Chancellor and Hindenburg's confidant, was to serve as the éminence grise who would keep Hitler under control; these intentions badly underestimated Hitler's political abilities. By the end of March 1933, the Reichstag Fire Decree and the Enabling Act of 1933 had used the perceived state of emergency to effectively grant the new Chancellor broad power to act outside parliamentary control. Hitler promptly used these powers to thwart constitutional governance and suspend civil liberties, which brought about the swift collapse of democracy at the federal and state level, and the creation of a one-party dictatorship under his leadership. >

krystal nacht anyone? >

An important tidbit.....
McCarthy wants Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and Adam Schiff (D-CA) off the Intelligence Committee and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) off the Foreign Affairs Committee.
Someone is setting fire to the future....... >

The only thing this does is destroy the credibility of House Oversight.  Nobody will take panels composed of these clowns seriously on anything, much less follow their lead (or answer their subpoenas with anything other than the finger.) >

The GOP demanding these appointments don't care.  They are not there to make the US a better place.  The GOP cannot agree on a platform - they barely agreed on McCarthy.
They are there for their own personal brand and don't care what happens in the future.  Will the GOP House move to shut down the government over the debt ceiling?  Absolutely because they don't care.
It is all a stunt for the extremists who will keep giving them money and power. >

The extreme right, conspiracy theorists, and Qanon types were largely rejected in th midterms. I feel like this is politically risky for the Republicans. The American electorate is sick of crazy politicians. >

This was McCarthy's only choice to get the votes to become speaker. It would have been better after the 4th or 5th vote for the Democrats to propose their own deals with him to cut out the extremists from committee's and policy changes. >


It would have been better after the 4th or 5th vote for the Democrats to propose their own deals  

seems like their plan is to let republicans metaphorically hang themselves >

Instead of hanging themselves they just handed more power to the extremists. >

Not really, the house can't change much by itself and the full display of crazy might serve as a vaccine against it sort of how Trump got Biden elected with the most votes in history >

and for those who need a cheat sheet, he won because he wasn’t Donald Trump. 
Cardboard Box 2020 would have won, (assuming it won the primary) >

I'm still sad Giant Meteor 2020 didn't win :( >

The number of people either involved in, or in support of, Jan 6 that are on the Judiciary committee is disturbing. >

Get ready for a real rough ride..... >

The Republicans turn everything they touch into a shitshow kangaroo court where the criminals run the court room. >

The “lunatics” have taken over the asylum. >

You don't have to use the quotes in this context. Some of these people engage in objective lunacy. >

Extreme MAGA members/Traitors worthy of prison
This is like hiring Jeffrey Dahmer to work as a preschool teacher. >

This wouldn't have happened if The White House had done its job in the first place, they are partially responsible.
The DOJ has not done their job and locked up the insurrectionists, but stood by and allowed them to continue to run rampant. Of course they are continuing their coup. >

Not a single big fish was punished for 1/6.  I actually don’t give a crap about the idiots who entered the Capitol.  I care about who in the government planned it and was involved.  They are the traitors (and I do not use that word too often). >

Honestly, right now it seems like the house GOP is a powder keg waiting to go off.
Most lawmakers played ball and have little to show for it, but the ones who were rewarded for it were the ones who caused the most amount of trouble.
I don't know about you, but I'd be pretty pissed if I was on their shoes. >

The GOP knows the House will never get anything passed with a Dem President and Dem Senate.  The next 2 years is all about raising money and sucking off the right-wing PACs with grandstanding floor speeches to empty rooms. >

Do not grant security clearance to MTG. 
She’s a known security risk.
Without clearance she can’t attend the important meetings. >

Are there not 10 “normal” republicans who have the guts to stop this madness? How about 6. We just need 6. >

They have no legitimacy.  They voted to not certify the 2020 election as part of their insurrection and according to the Constitution are barred from ever holding elected office.
