20. How many repubs will quit over the break?
Thu Dec 18, 2025, 11:22 AM
Dec 18

The repubs are running away from everything now.
They think they can hide and voters will forget all about the destruction they have wrought.

But they are wrong (as usual).

They thought the Epstein story would die down during the shutdown.
Not so much they learned...

They think the ACA subsidies story will die down during their holiday break
but when they get back the premium increases will have hit and hit their voters the most.

They want to run away from a failing economy and destructive tarrifs
The damage they have done will become much clearer over the holiday break.

They want to run away from the fact that people from around the world no longer want to come to visit the USA
due to warnings of what could happen to them. Tourism has gone over the cliff.

They want to run from war and war crimes commited by their leader
This will also get much worse over their holiday break

As things get worse over the next few weeks I wonder just how many of these bootlicking repubs will actually choose to return to Washington to face the music?

If we are lucky, enough will chicken out or realize they're goose is cooked and quit over their break to give the Dems control of the house.

When that happens perhaps they will get a 3rd opportunity to convice and remove the felon in charge.

Maybe this time they will accept the help they desperately need.
