The very unpopular "Congressman" from Texas, Chip Roy, is getting in the way, as usual, of having yet another Great Republican Victory - All for the sake of some cheap publicity for himself. Republican obstructionists have to be done away with. The Democrats are using them, and we can't let that happen. Our Country is far better off closing up for a period of time than it is agreeing to the things that the Democrats want to force upon us. Biden is President, and it's his obligation to properly lead. We're there to do the right thing, and we can't agree with what Biden and the Democrats are demanding. Weak and ineffective people like Chip have to be dismissed as being utterly unknowledgeable as to the ways of politics, and as to Making America Great Again. Put "America First," and go for the Victory, even if it means shutting the Government down for a period of time. We had an overwhelming Victory just four weeks ago, and we're not going to let the Democrats forget it so quickly!

Nothing good has ever come out of Texas.
Roy’s response: https://x.com/chiproytx/status/1869840234621612353
“My position is simple – I am not going to raise or suspend the debt ceiling (racking up more debt) without significant & real spending cuts attached to it. I’ve been negotiating to that end. No apologies.”
How much are they adding?
Honestly, a lot of pork sounds like it was removed.
“The very unpopular “Congressman” from Texas, Chip Roy ...”
Not really. In the 2024 election Roy won 61.9% to 35%.
Here’s a thought, how about not spending more than you have. The ceiling is meaningless. Balance a budget like you’re supposed to, and you won’t have to worry about debt.
Trump was a Big Spender in his first term.
Roy is not wrong.
What is he accused of doing exactly?
Jeez, Mr. President, Chip Roy is one of your fearless warriors. You could use another 100 like him in Congress.
“Trump was a Big Spender in his first term.”

And likely will be again, but the excessive level of debt and the cost of debt service may constrain him somewhat. We’ll soon see but its a concern for sure.
You can work with DOGE, Chip Roy. That is what their role is, to cut the spending massively. we appreciate, but we have to spend while cutting spending more than we spend in order to raise more revenue generation.
Now you know why Trump came after the POS! He has just come out minutes ago saying he will not vote for the new CR Bill. The dirty backstabbing RINO needs to be primaried along with the one eye patch Crenshaw!
If I remember right, he was backing Liz Cheney on that J-6
committee.
Chip Roy: This is Bidens budget responsibility, not Trump. The first bill was full of crap, and I can’t believe you don’t know that. The country wants this crazy spending stopped. Get with the program and help or go home.
The problem is that the GOP simply can’t afford disunity at the moment. The House margin is too thin. Republican reps, both MAGA and RINO alike, are going to have to get on board, follow Trump’s lead and trust that he has the right strategy. I understand standing up to Johnson. But when Trump steps into the leadership vacuum, as he appears to be doing now, the caucus needs to get behind him. The only path to success for House Republicans is through Trump.
This is similar to when Massie was attacked by Trump because he didn’t support the massive covid spending bill.
Here’s hoping.
Maybe 40 electorial votes
Yes. If Chip Roy votes with the Democrats, what good is he? None. You can’t win by siding with the other party that wants the opposite.
