    More like Republicans have no leadership and lack the ability to govern.

      Are you telling me that stoking culture war issues and taking away people’s basic human rights doesn’t actually increase the quality of life for anyone? Inconceivable!

      Republicans did never care about “govern”. They aim at “ruling”.

      She has spent recent days posting on X that transgender people should have their access limited to sports.

      I think we’re okay without her help

      She doesn’t care and never did. She’s an insurrectionist who tried to overturn the 2020 election. Here are excerpts from an op-ed she wrote in TownHall a week ago with my emphasis:

      As a conservative who has fought for our values and principles for two decades in Arizona, I understand how vital it is to hold the line against a radical, left-wing agenda that threatens to fundamentally transform our nation. I also realize the importance of strategically fighting—especially when our party only controls one chamber in the legislative branch and a Democrat is in the White House.

      The events of the past month, leading to the ouster of now former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, have not put our party in the best position to defend our nation against the onslaught of opposition by House and Senate Democrats and federal bureaucrats under the Biden Administration.

      We must now come together as Republicans, uniting behind one leadership team to defeat the most radical and corrupt administration this nation may have ever experienced.

      Biden has shamefully empowered the cartels to wreak havoc at the border, rendering federal, state, and local law enforcement absolutely helpless. Meanwhile, thousands of Americans are dying because of the relentless supply of fentanyl pouring across the border, and countless terrorists, gang members, and hardened criminals may likely be slipping past our agents into communities across our country.

      Congress must stand against the Biden Administration’s attack on the future of our nation’s energy independence. Since the president took the oath of office in January 2021, Americans have seen a dramatic cost-of-living increase due to the reimagined energy policies of the Biden-led federal government. The attack on the limitless potential of American energy independence doesn’t stop with rising costs; the Biden Administration has even attempted to take away products that people like and want, like gas stoves and gasoline-powered cars. Biden and the Democrats want the federal government to tell us what we can use and drive.

      we must hold the president accountable to justice if, in fact, he broke laws at any point in his career in government, specifically looking at his alleged business relationship with his son, Hunter Biden. Congress must get to the bottom of the facts surrounding how Joe Biden may have illegally used his position as Vice President of the United States to benefit his family financially and to influence any actions of foreign governments or actors.

      This is too important of a time, though, to point fingers or to delay any longer on our mission to save Americans from the radical agenda being enacted by congressional and White House Democrats.

      She didn’t want to fix a fucking thing. She wanted to use misinformation, lies, and hate to maintain power. She’s probably leaving because she’s gotten a nice private sector job coming because of her whoring for oligarchs in Congress.

      DC insiders have usually operated on set of shared rules. The more extreme Republicans only have built a following openly violating those rules. And there are few mechanisms for holding them accountable for their actions. Ideally, the House Speaker would keep them in line, as AOC was generally kept in line by Pelosi, but when the House Speaker caters to extremists, that critical method is undermined completely. And then what?

      And it’s especially difficult for Republicans, what with their group think herd mentality respect for authority. Hopefully, this opens up the possibility of a Democrat being selected in her place. And there’s hope, because Kari Lake isn’t the governor of Arizona.

    Is that because your policies are bad, your party wants to rule instead of represent, and you fear that there aren’t enough idiots to vote to keep your corrupt ass in power?

    I’m kind of embarrassed that she’s a representative of my state and I had no clue she existed until this very moment. Tried looking up what she’s done besides be a generic token Republican and came up empty. Anyone know of anything notable (awful) she’s actually done?

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A Republican congresswoman has said she will not run for re-election next year, claiming “DC is broken”.

    Debbie Lesko, from Arizona, said in a statement that traveling to Washington each month had also proven difficult.

    Lesko, an ardent supporter of Donald Trump, is a former school board member and state lawmaker.

    That move, and Republicans’ subsequent inability to decide on a new Speaker, has left the House leaderless for the past two weeks, even as Congress faces a government funding deadline and a war has broken out in the middle east.

    She has spent recent days posting on X that transgender people should have their access limited to sports.

    After Scalise withdrew his name from contention, Lesko voted for Jim Jordan in his unsuccessful first ballot for speaker on Tuesday.
