They draw the line at spilling secrets about other Republicans. Remember this hit from Trump's last term?

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” said McCarthy, R-Calif., according to the report.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., has said policymakers in Washington have been too harsh on Russia and should work more closely with Moscow to fight extremist groups.

McCarthy’s comment prompted laughter from some Republicans in the room.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., told his colleagues to not share the remarks, the Post reported.

“No leaks, all right? This is how we know we’re a real family here,” Ryan reportedly said.

It doesn't matter what happens behind closed doors, as long as you don't talk about what happens there.

That's pretty standard party politics.

When a democrat fucks up, other democrats call for and get a resignation. When a republican fucks up, they circle the wagons and defend the offender to the last breath. Democrats are not Good but don't act like they're the same.

The majority of Democrats don't even represent America heir voters, and you think they resign? They fuck up routinely and shitheaps like Schumer and Fetterman are still going strong.

Thinking Fetterman is actually a democrat kinda tells us all we need to know about you.

Thinking they’re not says more about you. They are literally some of the highest ranking most important members of the whole group.

You still think they represent you, when they don’t.
