    It’s a pretty bad sign when your own partymates can’t stand you. Maybe it’s because “Republican” just means “hateful” now?

    What are they going to do at the retreat anyway, discuss how much they dislike everything? Sounds like a real downer to me.

      It’s because conservatives don’t have the ability to introspect. They are so used to blaming everyone else for their own internal feelings that they can’t but blame each other for the party’s problems. The purity tests were always going to come, we’re finally starting to see that unfold.

      Pissed because it’s harder to find trans hookers at a family friendly resort

      (without Mike Johnson’s son getting an alert on his phone)

        Hey, between MTG bringing whatever the fuck she’s smoking, Matt Gaetz supplying the definitely of-age hookers, and Boebert never being more than a few shots away from handy-ville I’m sure it’ll be the kind of party republican lawmakers adore.

    But privately, some Republicans have complained about the venue choice. Sources said Speaker Mike Johnson selected the Greenbrier Resort because it was “family friendly,” in a break from past retreats which have taken place in sunny Florida – the preferred location of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

      Lol, what did they expect to happen when they made the religious nut speaker? They’re lucky it’s not Ned Flanders Bible Camp lmfao

      It’s also an odd thing to act like Congress needs to go some place that is family-friendly, whatever that means. Aren’t these functional adults?
