    It’s not even Republican presidents. Newt Gingrich destroyed the House. Mitch McConnell destroyed the Senate. And there’s a whole bench of people willing to continue their work.

    The entirety of the Republican party, from their philosophy to their platform to their elected officials to the individual voters, is a poison. And they have a lot more power than Democrats thanks to their low population density.

      McTurtle is one of the last dinosaurs where he was in office and doing the dirt.

      Ever since Nixon though they realized it’s better to have a fall guy in office and stay behind the scenes.

      There’s new generations of them, most people will just never know their names now.
