Do you really feel compelled to post that tired slogan in every thread? In fact, it only makes you look like an intellectually challenged ass. [/quote] No it doesn't. Its the exact right response for anonymous fucks who shit on the politics of others without saying shit about their own candidate, politics or path forward after Trump. What the big secret, you morphodite little bitch? Oh yeah, you don't have a candidate. You work for the highest bidder. :militia: [/quote]

What 100 House GOP dropouts in Trump era means for impeachment
When Trump arrived in the White House in 2017, there were 241 Republicans at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue in the House of Representatives. Today, 100 of them have gone or have announced that they are leaving. That's 41 percent of that original 241 in the 115th House.
The change in the House GOP over the last three years has been especially striking. Compare it to changes in the Democratic House in the same time period under President Barack Obama from January 2009 to November 2011.
By this time in Obama's first term, he had seen 88 Democratic House members leave or announce that they were leaving. That was about 34 percent of the 256 House Democrats in office when Obama was inaugurated.
Keep these changes in mind this week when the House impeachment trial becomes a public affair. There has been a lot of turnover in the House in the past few years, and not just in terms of partisanship. The president's own party in the chamber looks very different from when he arrived in Washington.
The House Republicans have less institutional memory and more new faces than they did a few years ago — and those new faces have come to Congress in Trump's Washington. That's likely to have some impact when temperatures and rhetoric rise around impeachment.
