Greene, Boebert, Hawley, Gaetz, Gosar, and Cawthorn are just pure hatred and vitriol. Cruz, Newt, and Gym Jordan are/were evil and effective. Gohmert and DeLay used to be toxic but this new bunch makes them look like moderates.

Sinema and Manchin are in it for themselves.

Like Dotard, they don't want to lead or govern. They want to rule and are in it for themselves whether it be money and/or power.

Undoubtedly, I left some out.
