What has the current GOP deteriorated to?

I mean really.

It almost appears that the GOP is having major difficulties finding suitable candidates to put into office.

Let me say that again...

It almost appears that the GOP is having major difficulties finding suitable candidates to put into office.

My first question is... why?

That aside...

So, they have resorted to, let's just say, less than suitable candidates.

Channeling Mr Roberts...

Can you say, "George Santos?"

I knew you could.

The party really has become a chancer magnet. Those folks, the chancers, were always involved in politics, feeding on the pickings like ravenous termites yet somewhat controlled, kinda manageable. But the Trump crowd was composed of nothing but chancers. They and those in their morality-free orbit became a major infestation that infected and then consumed the entire structure.

It seems like the GOP is made up of criminals, grifters and pedophiles because the GOP is made of up of criminals, grifters and pedophiles.

The GOP has become a circus tent full of gaslighting criminals because their voters are too stupid to see it.

He quickly became a right-wing darling after his anti-LGBTQ legislation, officially the Parental Rights in Education Act, was embraced by Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis, who signed it into law.

Tiny D's been consorting with another felon.

Of course the phrase don't say gay is a intentional misnomer designed for the small brained.......then again this guy is clearly an idiot in his own right.

It must be a prerequisite to be a criminal now to be a member of the GQP.
