That's what the GOP is. Controlled opposition. They have no desire to actually help this country. MAGA is a third party having to deal with this shit and running under the Republican banner.If the GOP itself tanks Hegseth I will probably never vote for another Republican. What a waste of a party if when we win...we have people in the party trying to make the win into a loss.
GOP politicians love doing theater for congressional hearings to fundraise off of or to try and get themselves some key position later but they do not want to actually control anything to make it different which is why they have fought Trump forever. So, instead of American voters hating the government and wanting this shit fixed, we will get a handful of establishment scum there to try and tank everything. There's no other explanation for how guys like McConnell/Thune and a littany of other compromised trash bags get power. This stuff is the result of backdoor threats and bribes.
GOP rubberstamp everyone the Dems want. They might send a letter which Dems/Feds ignore, but then every single Republican nominee always gets run through the ringer---the same group always wanting something for themselves to confirm, to leak a story and help faciliate the latest sexual assault accusation.
No one who can actually fix this country gets to be in control and that's the point. They don't want to fix anything. They want to intentionally destroy for their own corruption and to achieve the ideological vision of the criminals who own them.
