HoR leader thinks he's Darth Vader in Cloud City, but instead he's just Bobo the Clown.
I'll double down on that sentiment but apply it to my fellow "Americans” who keep putting these fucking ghouls in office over feels and owning the Libs!It's funny/sad/enraging how these guys think whenever they control even one chamber of government that they have the ability to dictate policy for the country.
They don't actually want to cut the deficit - they don't give a shit about the deficit.We should give them at least part of what they want. Cut the deficit and/or taxes by cutting subsidies to red states and rural areas. I’m tired of paying for them to endlessly whine.
Oh 100% agreed — but they pretend to care about it! It’s a constant talking point on conservative news whenever a Democrat is in charge. So let’s cut it by keeping our tax money to spend locally instead on our priorities.They don't actually want to cut the deficit - they don't give a shit about the deficit.
This is shown by them blowing up the deficit every time they are in power as well as pushing for cuts to IRS funding, which actively increases the deficit.
This is called weaponizing the states rights clause and I am all for it.We should give them at least part of what they want. Cut the deficit and/or taxes by cutting subsidies to red states and rural areas. I’m tired of paying for them to endlessly whine.
Since Trump has spoken. you think they won't just go ahead and follow dear cult leader and let us crash. I do.Is anyone surprised? I kinda figure this whole charade was to try and nuke the economy in an election year to up Trump's chances but with some plausable deniability of "see we tried!" sprinkled on top.
As soon as I started hearing gas prices were under control, inflation was at 3%, soft landing looked increasingly likely, the more I knew Pubs were going to try and torpedo the whole thing below the waterline.
Why would they (GQP) do anything to avert a shutdown when they have important work to do? You know, like telling Hunter Biden he has no balls even after Spork-foot MTG has introduced graphic evidence to the contrary into the congressional record.
That would have been funny. Mtg claims Hunter has no balls and a democrat member chimes in, “that’s not true! We know for a fact he has balls because you showed a picture of them here on the house floor!”.
The law and order party.Mike Johnson not only want to codify Republicans being the racist party he want Republicans to defy the courts.
'Unnecessary surrender': Johnson wants lawmakers to ignore judge’s order to create Black district
A federal judge recently ordered the Louisiana legislature to draw a new Congressional district map that includes a new majority-Black district to accommodate the Bayou State's sizable population of Black voters. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) thinks there's a way around it.Newly...www.alternet.org
I AM the LAW!!! /Republicans//StalloneThe law and order party.
Apparently not even half of R members are going to the House GOP retreat. To say that morale is low in their caucus would be an understatement.
Other than the budget, I'd rather they not pass any bills.Did you see what they're openly saying.. they don't want to pass bills and be Dem Lite.. they want to be MAGA.. not passing any bills is full on MAGA!
It seems MJ isn't even trying to block any of the discharge petitions. So Ukraine will finally be getting some lawyers, guns and money 💰. OK, HIMARS, F16s and 155mm shells. That also works.
The defense contractors who stand to make bank on weapons for Ukraine have to be leaning pretty hard on Johnson.- Have we entered the "governing by discharge petition" phase of congress? Maybe that's how Pub Speakers will have to opperate from now on, block everything to appease the MAGAts, quietly allow discharge petitions through so the donors don't pull their funding because everything is in a deep state of neglect.
