Turley was my torts professor and even in class I found him to be a bit of a blowhard, but this is a very conveniently edited clip…

Once known as a political party, the GOP has become a full blown cult. Congrats, "Republicans"! It’s been evident for a long time that virtually nothing is working for Republican-aligned groups and GOP candidates who have tried to take Donald Trump down a peg or two. A new memo from one such group crystallizes the problem, and it’s the latest indication that the outside groups might be inching toward the white flag of surrender. The memo from a Club for Growth-aligned group called Win It Back, first reported by the New York Times’s Jonathan Swan and obtained by The Washington Post, contains strikingly candid findings after the group spent $6 million on ads in Iowa and South Carolina: “All attempts to undermine [Trump’s] conservative credentials on specific issues were ineffective, regardless of the setting (live surveys, online surveys, focus groups, controlled experiments).” “Every traditional post-production ad attacking President Trump either backfired or produced no impact on his ballot support and favorability. … This includes ads that primarily feature video of him saying liberal or stupid comments from his own mouth.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/09/29/anti-trump-gop-groups-start-waving-white-flag-this-memo-shows-why/

Moron McCarthy blames Senate for shutdown?
WHAT A POS! And he referred to himself as "the adult in the room."

House passes clean CR for 45 days that needed Democratic votes. Is this the end of Moron McCarthy? Does Moron Matt Gaetz follow through with his threats to bring a motion to vacate the chair? Are "Republicans" as stupid as they appear? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/09/30/government-shutdown-updates/There are good weeks and bad weeks and then there is the week that the Republican Party is just concluding, a kaleidoscopic display of self-inflicted wounds by politicians unwilling to govern responsibly and a party still loath to confront the damage done by former president Donald Trump. At every turn this past week, when the spotlight was on them, Republicans showed the public their worst: marching toward a government shutdown wholly of their own making; botching their first hearing in an impeachment inquiry into President Biden that was launched without serious forethought or evidence of criminal wrongdoing; squabbling and shouting by presidential candidates during a nationally televised debate that mostly ignored the elephant not onstage. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/09/30/republican-shutdown-trump-missteps/

For eight months, there were no adults working in the House Republican day-care center. Day after day, the toddlers of the far right threw tantrum after tantrum. But instead of giving the brats in his caucus a timeout, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy tried to quiet them with all the lollipops, ice cream and sugary drinks they could consume. “MAGA Republicans have surrendered,” Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.), the House Democratic leader, exulted after the vote. Actually, they hadn’t surrendered; they had been sidelined. Asked before the vote whether he had any support from the wingnuts in his caucus, McCarthy laughed. “No,” he said. “Look, I had tried that for eight months.” Maybe McCarthy can strike a deal to remain speaker. But Americans deserve better than the unremitting chaos and crises of his amateurish tenure. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/09/30/mccarthy-government-shutdown-avoided/

You want chaos in government? Vote "Republican"! McCarthy, McConnell suffer setbacks over control of their caucuses In the span of three hours, rank-and-file Republicans bucked House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, leaving both GOP leaders weakened Sunday heading into a critical legislative period. First, after days of internal rebellion, McCarthy (R-Calif.) threw in the towel at a Saturday morning meeting. His leadership team had run the numbers, and at least six Republicans would oppose any plan to keep the government open by the midnight deadline. With just four votes to spare on a GOP-only plan, McCarthy gave up and turned to Democrats to help pass a “clean” resolution to keep the government open at current levels into mid-November. Across the Capitol, McConnell had spent the month of September delivering floor speeches dedicated to the defense of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who visited the Capitol nine days earlier to rally support behind President Biden’s request for $24 billion in military and diplomatic support. He worked with Biden administration officials to pare back that request to $6 billion and ask for more funding later this year. His caucus overruled him. They preferred McCarthy’s plan to keep the government open by ditching the debate over Ukraine money until later this year. The diminished stature for the two leaders could have big consequences www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/10/01/mccarthy-mcconnell-congress-government-shutdown/

Ha ha ha. The Moron Chaos Caucus. Gaetz says he will force vote to oust McCarthy as House speaker Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said Sunday that he is determined to try to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from his position as House speaker after McCarthy passed a stopgap measure to fund the government with Democratic support. Gaetz said Sunday that he plans to introduce a motion to remove McCarthy from his leadership position, marking a dramatic escalation of the long-simmering tensions between the men. Once Gaetz does so, the House would have 48 hours to vote on the matter. The Florida Republican did not say when he would introduce the motion. “I think we need to rip off the Band-Aid. I think we need to move on with new leadership that can be trustworthy,” Gaetz said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/10/01/kevin-mccarthy-matt-gaetz-house-speaker/

How about that lawless cretin Republican who pulled the fire alarm? It was juvenile and ridiculous and he should be held accountable. But you Republicans kill me. Your unquestioned leader is indicted on 91 felony and misdemeanor counts and congressional Republicans are actively helping a war criminal, and you can’t stop talking about a pulled fire alarm. It’s borderline pathetic. A party absolutely devoid of morals and ideas.

Not to mention Gym Jordan and the cultist Congressmen who ignored lawfully issued subpoenas from the J6 Committee and the 147 "Republicans" who voted against certifying the 2020 election AFTER January 6th Yup, an asinine and moronic act of pulling a fire alarm is right up there under Elvadoism. www.cnn.com/2022/05/26/politics/gop-reps-object-subpoena/index.htmlwww.vox.com/2021/1/6/22218058/republicans-objections-election-results
