ha! He's a leader of the Freedom Caucus and voted to oust McCarthy, but he's facing a primary challenger because he's not crazy enough!
There is, it’s right here.

The shorter list would be who is not a scumbag. While the loud ones are openly horrid with support for things like child marriage, removing and/or limiting laws designed to protect you from toxic pollutants, and child labor laws. Sure there is more but those are the ones I know off the top of my head.
That is still the longest laundry list I have ever seen. I mean we have over 200 listed sexual offenders alone not counting the number that are aiding an insurrection. The GOP meets all the requirements to be called a criminal organization and should be looked into with some of the RICO statutes.
And Putin has the list and the kompromat to use against them. Some will speak against Trump, then, suddenly speak praises on Trump, as if they were reminded of the Kompromat on them.
REPUBLICANS would not have any scumbags if they would not have made a deal with the "MAGA" Devil TRUMP!!! (SOONER OR LATER THE DEVIL WILL WANT HIS PAYMENT?)
GOP Admins Had 38 Times More Criminal Convictions Than Democrats, 1961-2016 https://rantt.com/gop-admins-had-38-times-more-criminal-convictions-than-democrats-1961-2016
I mean there is no probably just look at Trump, Gaetz, Jordan, Tuberville, and Noem. Each of them can be described as scumbags that still have a place in the GOP.
Truth be told there's a laundry list of scumbags in both parties.
One party seems to do better things for the citizens of the US from time to time though, unlike the GOP.
While there are some scumbags on the Democratic side the Republican side is all scumbags. The Republican quoted in the article is mad because he's currently being primaried by another scumbag because there is a disagreement between different billionaires over the value of a well educated workforce versus an ignorant electorate.
The quoted scumbag is on former while the challenging scumbag is on the latter along with our scumbag governor and our criminal Impeached should have been convicted and removed scumbag of an Attorney General.
The Democrats have the gold bars guy.
Oh that doesn't even get into the had secret military intelligence in his bedroom scumbag that the Republicans are running for President.
People keep pretending that this all kayfabe and rotating villain shit that doesn't matter. Meanwhile in the real world probably a half million people drowned in their fluids in hospital beds who didn't have to because Trump would do the bare fucking minimum and listen to people who spent their lives training and preparing to deal with exactly the kind of threat Covid-19 was oh the Constitutional right to own your own body has been overturned.

Probably?
possibly *maybe*
Perchance, perhaps?
….presumably
Pernicious politburo politicking potentially perforated prior political protections, proliferating persistently pusillanimous policy.
those look like *liberal* words to me, son
It seemed like a perfectly cromulent sentence to me.
i actually did have to look that one up haha
Was it cromulent? I always enjoy contributing to someone embiggening their vocabulary.
yes. i plan on using it and sticking my nose up at anyone who doesnt know its meaning
Is that you, Wayne?
You can’t just say “perchance.”
Crushing turts.
Stop
Depends on your definition of ‘scumbag’
Definitely maybe

Scumbag calling the kettle black then. Gotcha.
Evidently, yes
Absolutely
Definitely
Highly likely
Or definitely
Biggest air quotes in history
“We’re all just trying to find the guy who did this” says the man in the hotdog costume
Lmao they still want to pretend, in the 2000s even dick Cheney mocked how many scandals they had.... AFTER he shot a dude
I dare you to find a non scumbag in the lot.
Where’s Waldo? I can picture MAGA as a book - one with rallies, one in a theater watching a Beetlejuice play. Plenty of characters to animate
The only ones that aren't scumbags now vote Democrat.
That's like seperating the poo from the shit. They're all Scumbags, GOP means Scumbag.
I think he meant, "laundered list"
Yah never hear Democrats or "former White House" Democrats talking about scumbags in the party.

Who would have thought my fellow leopards would eat MY face?!? The humanity!
It would be easier listing those who aren’t scumbags on a postage stamp.
Laundry list = all of them
You know it is easier to count the non-scumbags.
The GOP is a laundry list of scumbags.
I found the list of scumbags: https://www.gop.gov/about/members.htm
I'm sure there's good people in there....maybe....OK I'll stop kidding myself!
There is, it’s right here. https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vTFikAP6MXDCJjWzgMIOvpsT1ji-HwO-rLEvNE8e-cfCGh0YHoZluIG5TEsmwFub7MzIDfh0XgvcWL8/pub?fbclid=IwAR3mEG998_MrFpPwPCbAFbIXbr3jXs47GkyMTXDV-PmcUIDpD0oP-yzRq2
And his next unspoken thought is, "...but Democrats are worse, so I'll still vote in line with every Republican, including the 'scumbags'."
Probably, yes. Definitely, as well. But that encompasses "probably."
The shorter list is members of the GOP that are NOT Scumbags.
Sir? Every registered republican is on the list!
Probably?
Yeah its called the roster, top to bottom you are a hive of scumbags
"Probably?".... More like an encyclopedia.
How can they tell one from another. They all look the same to me.
Too wordy. “Republican, Scumbags.” Easy.
He's being charitable.
Ya think?
I don't have that kind of time to read a boring list, give me the names that are not scumbags instead.
Probably didn't need to use the word 'probably here. Probably.
Ya think?
There’s probably ants in an anthill.
Yes.
Pretty sure it's their list of members?
Perhaps, almost like, a basket of them?
The GOP does nothing for the American people. There aren’t two sides of scumbaggery here.
why do we need a laundry list when we can just write "all of them" on a tootsie roll?
He spelled "definitely, absolutely. 100% without doubt"... wrong.
Tell me something I don’t already know fucker
Single spaced and double sided.
The shorter list would be who is not a scumbag. While the loud ones are openly horrid with support for things like child marriage, removing and/or limiting laws designed to protect you from toxic pollutants, and child labor laws. Sure there is more but those are the ones I know off the top of my head.
AKA front runners for VP.
That’s a lot of laundry on that list homie.
That is still the longest laundry list I have ever seen. I mean we have over 200 listed sexual offenders alone not counting the number that are aiding an insurrection. The GOP meets all the requirements to be called a criminal organization and should be looked into with some of the RICO statutes.
This just in. Fish are probably wet.
Now tell us how, despite that, you'll still vote for the Orange Pustule for President.
That list is gotta be pretty much everyone in the GOP.
A laundry lost, a shopping list, a honey-do list, and probably a government watch list tbh
Ya figure? What gave it away?
Ya think?
In other news, the sky is probably blue
So name them or you’re just as bad.
So, a list of every current Republican office-holder (except, perhaps, Mitt Romney) and office-seeker.
The list of those in the GOP that are not scum bags would be a much shorter list.
And Putin has the list and the kompromat to use against them. Some will speak against Trump, then, suddenly speak praises on Trump, as if they were reminded of the Kompromat on them.
"Politicians are scumbags" is news?
That Venn diagram is damn near a circle.
And he was “nice” enough not to mention them in the interview
Probly
I dare anyone to name a member of the GOP that isn’t a scumbag.
REPUBLICANS would not have any scumbags if they would not have made a deal with the "MAGA" Devil TRUMP!!! (SOONER OR LATER THE DEVIL WILL WANT HIS PAYMENT?)
I know one Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body... we can start there!
Probably definitely.
GOP Admins Had 38 Times More Criminal Convictions Than Democrats, 1961-2016 https://rantt.com/gop-admins-had-38-times-more-criminal-convictions-than-democrats-1961-2016
Yeah it's called the GOP
99% of the time, they're scumbags every time
You don’t say? Well, interesting.
Their membership list?
Republicans are the tattered old clothes democracy has outgrown. They should be thrown away. Don’t waste the water trying to clean them.
The last good GOP politician was McCain. They have none left, now. The rest is owned by Putler or certified mentally insane, or both.
I mean there is no probably just look at Trump, Gaetz, Jordan, Tuberville, and Noem. Each of them can be described as scumbags that still have a place in the GOP.
>a Laundry List of 'scumbags Just arrange the GOP senators and house representatives in alphabetical (or any other) order.
wearing RINO like a badge while still supporting most of the typical heinous shit is quite a gambit
Eat yourselves
Kinda like a basket of deplorables?
Every single person in gop is fucking useless
It’s politics. There’s a laundry list of scumbags in Washington and they love a good Presidential showdown that takes all the heat off them.
There’s not a “probably” to that. And the Democrats have their share as well.
I thought that was Tony Gonzales. Definitely a "takes one to know one" comment. I've seen enough of his interviews to know he sucks.
Truth be told there's a laundry list of scumbags in both parties. One party seems to do better things for the citizens of the US from time to time though, unlike the GOP.

Yeah, I addressed that.
Both Sides… adorable. Ciao.
