Oh Newt
“the Republicans are going to have serious hearings looking at the big issues that affect our lives, as well as going through the stuff you have to do just to uncover all the bad stuff the Democrats did. I think you have got to have both things.”
Where’s the gif of the cute girl saying, “Mmmm, yeah, right”
“...have serious hearings...”
That doesen’t sound at all like Action, Action, Action!.....
I thought Newt and Nancy were Erf Buddies…

Repubs will spend their time trying to figure out how to double the number if ‘legal’ third world immigrants so Big Corps can make mo money.
It seems there’s a dedicated cohort in the media and leadership that likes to toss “free hopium” out to conservatives hoping they’ll bite. Later, when the blissfully optimistic predictions fall flat, conservatives are further dejectedly while these agents think of the next set of bait to drop.
Don’t take the bait.
I walked on the floor recently and I was astonished that to get on the floor of the House, you go through sort of a TSA system with a policeman watching you, as though you are some subservient person who is a danger to your colleagues.”
Yeah. Now you know what it’s like to be a regular American, under the boot heel of some fece-consuming jackbooted thug.
No, he hasn't. The Capitol and the WH are both effectively shutdown as far as the US Government is concerned. DC is a ghost town these days... oh, it has some residents, it has some tourists, but it is anything but bustling active.
Pics from last week. Note the capital fencing. Note the WH concrete/plywood wall and crane:
We had 32 leave in 2018 leaving Trump high and dry, I don’t see what the big deal is here!!
He is Pelosi’s pet, so I guess he’d know.
Gingrich went on to say that he believes that under the leadership of McCarthy as House Speaker, “the Republicans are going to have serious hearings looking at the big issues that affect our lives, as well as going through the stuff you have to do just to uncover all the bad stuff the Democrats did. I think you have got to have both things.”
Newt is smoking weed. If any heardings are held by that milquetoast, open borders loving, cheap labor express funded, liberal RINO loser McCarthy, we will get the same kind of meaningless nonsense put on repeatedly by Trey Gowdy and my favorite Darrell Issa.
Come up with a Budget proposal that stops all the continuing resolution government shutdown nonsense
Come up with a plan and legislation that puts in place a path to ending the pandemic. Define a “goal” or end point, fund or encourage via vaccine guarantees of a new annual influenza vaccine. A federal law against vaccine mandates, a path to international travel.
Provide a pathway for DARP children who have grown up in the US and are solid taxpayers with no criminal record.
Gain control of the southern border and illegal immigration.
Pass laws to strengthen the integrity of the federal election voting system. This includes cyber security, transparency, and federal audits (and prosecutions for crimes) of the federal law requiring States and jurisdictions to manage their voter rolls.
hearings and passage of a law that sets out priorities to change regulations that are contributing to the rampant inflation facing the American public. The hearings should also be geared at prioritizing those regulations that will do the most in reigning in inflation.
Another campaign promise should be to work toward ending the bitter partisan divide in the House of Representatives and where ever Democrats play partisan politics, holding public events and press briefings to show the country what is really happening. Allowing some House votes to be on the basis of conscience and not party line.
Reorganizing the federal government to be much less costly and more efficient. The first element of this would be to do away with the revolving door between elected officials, agency leaders, and Legislative staff and lobby organizations or the industries they helped regulate. The second would be to move many of the headquarters out of WA DC area so that there is likely significant staff changes (this can be part of the budget process and the inflation reduction process). The Department of Agriculture in WA DC makes little sense. The Bureau of Indian Affairs should be in Oklahoma or the Dakotas. The headquarters of the Department of Education should be located more in the middle of the Country. The US Dept of Transportation should be located in a more central state. The FAA, the SEC, the FCC, can be located in other areas that should put them closer to the firms they regulate.
Just a thought.
The Freedom Caucus should already be writing legislation and working on serious budgets. They have little else to do right now. They should be preparing to hit the ground at a sprint. But, they is no sign of that under McCarthy - just hot air.
“Controlling the border is a big, big deal,” Gingrich said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Has been for 30 years and the Republicans did nothing about it.
When Trump was elected on the promise of doing something, they fought him building the fence.
Unless we replace the 145 that voted for Liz Cheney in Feb., we will get the same leadership we have always had, Bush League Republicans fully committed to the fundamental transformation of the USA into North Mexico.
McCarthy is one of the young guns aka RINOs.
It's for your protection Newt, ever seen Ilan Omar?
