… died after setting herself on fire” is the most disturbing thing I have read recently. If this dipstick was remotely responsible he should suffer.

He will literally be replaced by a republican why are they freaking out over numbers? I swear they’re so fucking stupid.

"In the midst of the fallout on Monday, the political arm of the House Freedom Caucus weighed in to endorse Herrera."

Extremely, extremely rare for a person to suicide by fire. I wonder if the fire was used to cover up evidence of her murder.

In addition to the majority issue, Gonzales is a tool of Israel. He’s taken over $2 million from Israel lobbyists.

Almost all of Congress is saturated with Israel money.

As if they care about dead women. The party that's been protecting the murderers and pedophiles want more dead women.

The Dems that are under indictment for telling soldiers they shouldn't obey illegal orders?
NegativeMass
they're not under indictment. the grand jury laughed that one out of the courtroom instead of indicting them.

I don't understand the connection between him trying to have an affair and her mental issues that lead to her suicide. Is there something im missing here?
SalmonMax
Jesus, how does the GOP keep getting worse?! How is it possible?! Just reading the news makes me need therapy right now...
brightlightbarking
This honestly isn't any worse than they have always been. It's unquestionably awful, but "Family-Values Republican politician having affair, mistress kills herself" is just another square on the bingo card, at this point, right next to "Protect-The-Kids Republican politician caught having sex with a minor" and "Rabidly anti-gay Republican politician caught on Grindr".
SalmonMax
Yeah, no you're right. It's actually less bad than the Epstein stuff even. I'm just getting worn down, lol. Good to keep things in perspective though.
anotherrandomname
Hmmmmmmm.... it seems like there was another prominent Repub that has serious accusations against him. Maybe they could talk about making him resign too? What was his name again?
ArcUlfr
It's hard to keep track of whether there are any prominent Republicans that don't have serious accusations against them.
ForlornHopeful
The issue is, to my cynical eye, the more they can propagate the outrage caused by Gonzales the more they can distract from the Pedo-in-Chief.

Just put the list of them all on a wall and throw a dart. You got better-than-even odds that the name it shafts, has been shafting America somehow, figuratively and/or literally.

You either need a big wall or small font.

Howard Lutnick? RFK Jr.? Mehmet Oz? Kristi Noem? Corey Lewandowski? Tom Homan? Pam Bondi? Brett Kavanaugh? Clarence Thomas? Samuel Alito?

I mean, I was talking about the orange shitstain, himself, but yeah, all of those pieces of crap too.
hairlessOrphan
The "pieces of crap" list is much longer. This is just a list that meets your three criteria of 1) prominent (I defined as: decent chance a US voter has heard of them) Republicans 2) with serious accusations against them 3) that currently hold a position in the US government that they could resign from. Not even a comprehensive list, just off the top of my head. It's fucking wild, what's happening out here.

"A mother is DEAD."
Hard to take that as a serious statement from someone who backed wrecking bodily autonomy for American women.
TheMentallyillist
It’s every bit as performative as Tim Scott complaining about racist posts coming directly from the oval office.
Funkypeeg
She's just acting a tad less crazy again so she can be reelected this year again. She still wanked her date at a play where children were present.
JustDriftingAboutTheInterWebs
She knows she can pretend mouth of against republicans since she also knows Republicans will double down to protect him. She's just trying to get brownie points knowing it won't change the outcome in any way
InitHello
So it's performative. As usual.
TsukariYoshi
It's just a sociopath using her powers for not-as-evil for once.
TKBold
Yeah, I'm not really able to get past that myself, it's like "When the fuck did YOU start caring, lady?"
PirateArrrgument
When she started to understand on a gut level that the other members of her party don't see any women, her included, as people.
legenunfiltered
I doubt she was bothered about the other women. It was when it affected her that she started to care.
PirateArrrgument
That's more or less why I included the qualifier, "her included". But I guess that's sort of implied; conservatives never care about anything until it affects them directly.

So i less confed? And it was a confed breeding sow?

Apparently they are reducing a woman to the status of a pig. Which is a super cool thing to do.

Typo* 1 less confederate (republican). I do onto redhats as they do onto others.

She set herself on fire?!

Right that's a crazy way to commit suicide....
Literally all I know is from this post but....they're sure it was suicide..?

She what?!
Rogerwilco1974
She sat herself on fire
