"Dimwitted"

https://www.rawstory.com/gop-chaos/

Snip:

In a blistering opinion piece from the Wall Street Journal on Saturday morning, the editorial board hammered House Republicans for turning their takeover of the House in the midterms election into a circus as members battle over who will be the new Speaker.

But the wsj is every inch a trump and gop enabler. Every single Democrat could have told you how things would turn out from the 2016 election onward (though no one could face foreseen nft trading cards). Somehow you didn’t. So opine all you like. But you helped created the state of play we have now.

If this issue was that important to the Wall Street Urinal, they would drop the paywall for this editorial. No, the money is more important to them. As it always is for conservatives.

Make no mistake. IMNSHO, WSJ is just having a big sad that the GOP is divided, and unable to steamroller a right wing agenda suitable to WSJ's editorial board.

Hint: this
Their main demand is so self-defeating it could have come from Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Showing their hatred of "libs".

Thanks.

I think about my friend's husband who has a WSJ subscription - fancies himself an intellectual. He's insufferable, honestly.

I don't know if he's a trumper - we navigate avoidance of the topic in epic fashion. He IS prone to spewing rw talking points!

and repeated affirmations of, "Yes, dear .. if your say so .."

It gets the point across in short order, without the necessity of any sort of engagement at all. (and has the added advantage of really steaming them - especially when employed against males - which doubles the fun)
