Halls of Shrewd'm / US Policy

A few other GOP members messaged us over the weekend saying that they, too, are considering retiring in the middle of the term.
Here’s one particularly exercised senior House Republican:
“This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL. And Mike Johnson has let it happen because he wanted it to happen. That is the sentiment of nearly all — appropriators, authorizers, hawks, doves, rank and file. The arrogance of this White House team is off putting to members who are run roughshod and threatened. They don’t even allow little wins like announcing small grants or even responding from agencies. Not even the high profile, the regular rank and file random members are more upset than ever. Members know they are going into the minority after the midterms.
“More explosive early resignations are coming. It’s a tinder box. Morale has never been lower. Mike Johnson will be stripped of his gavel and they will lose the majority before this term is out.”

having lasted this long, Mike Johnson is flashing some cockroach genes.

Typical "JC" behavior: treat everyone like expendable meat. Can't help but wonder what sort of boot lickers the regime will put forward to replace those who have had a bellyful and quit.

Yes, I read that somewhere, but I have no way of assessing it. I just hope half of it is true. Thanks very much for posting it.

Fcuking cowards. We need less abject resignations and more of them pushing back while they are in office. They risk being replaced by even worse spineless cowards. Unless they happen to be in more swingy districts in which case a dem might succeed them, which is some possible good news.

Assuming these messages from unnamed Republicans aren't entirely fabricated, yeah, obviously they are cowardly since they won't come out publicly like MTG.
So, why would anyone want them in government anyway?
They are part of the problem.
