During a budgetary discussion Friday, Republican lawmakers announced a plan to pretend to be fiscally conservative again if a Democrat takes office again in 2020 or 2024.
The GOP said it would begin to decry deficit spending and the $20 trillion debt in order to win votes as soon as political power swung back to the opposing party. “The second a Democrat is back in the White House, we will once again start yelling about fiscal responsibility,” Speaker Paul Ryan said in an address to the House of Representatives Friday. “For now, we will continue to vote for unsustainable and irresponsible budgets that your children’s children’s children will pay for for centuries to come.”
At publishing time, Republicans further announced they would pretend to oppose giving Planned Parenthood a half billion dollars year after year once they need conservative voters’ support to regain their offices.
No it’s what they say to each other all the time.
Save maybe 50 or so in the house and a few in the senate.
Rand Paul has taken a beating on this board at times but tell ya what, he seems to call out things like bad budgets and not many others do
And he was the first to say Slick Willy’s rape, er, sex life certainly needed to be part of the discussion during the Presidential Election.
Meeting with Al sharpton is almost unforgivable though

Screw the republican party. We need the Trump Party!!!
>Screw the republican party. We need the Trump Party!!!
WTF?? The SAME PDJ that *signed* this POS and Tweeted how the turd doth shine?!
Satire or not, the only difference I see is that the Democrats want to spend everything and borrow more by COB Monday, and the Republicans say we can wait until Thursday to spend everything and borrow more.
Let it fall, maybe next time we can put some stuff in the Constitution to limit the power these assholes have.
Simply, the political party system has destroyed America and foreign interventions a very close second. A wise man named Washington warned us. The capitol named after him is a disgrace.
