The Democratic Party stood virtually united “resisting” Trump for four years. Their stalwart opposition was ruthless and unwavering. It had been my hope that if there was any lasting legacy of Trump in the Republican Party it would be that he taught them not just to not walk away from a fight but to actually fight back.
Yet again, I find myself disappointed.
On Wednesday the Senate confirmed racial conspiracy theorist Marcia Fudge as HUD secretary, and Merrick Garland as attorney general.
Fudge was confirmed 66-34, and Garland 70-30.
How did Fudge get sixteen Republicans to vote for her confirmation? And How did Garland get twenty?
Rest assured, I’m not calling for blanket opposition to Biden’s nominees. That is not a good strategy. But fighting the nominations of exceptionally bad nominees should be an easy thing for the GOP to unify and rally behind. Yet they’re not.

That democrat controlled house 5000 or more page budget blaster has been examined thanks to WI Sen Ron Johnson demanding a reading but I bet there is Bailouts for sanctuary states and cities along with a mountain of other appropriations going for give-a-way projects where Swamp family members wind up being “bag men” for those that voted for this.
You would think.
Georgia was over run by the fake electoral roll. They added about 30% of the total electoral roll a month before the 2020 election
“Georgia was over run by the fake electoral roll. They added about 30% of the total electoral roll a month before the 2020 election”
So how was that information kept from Trump?
That’s why 80 million will not vote for their treasonous a##es when its time, your done GOP
Res assured that I am.
In a later post...
Republicans simply don't have the guts to play power games.Garland should have been confirmed by a Harris tie-breaking vote, as all of Biden's nominees should.
Republicans cower from political power in the ways that Democrats do not.Exercising raw power frightens Republicans, but emboldens Democrats. That's why Democrats always use minority power to scare Republicans into giving up majority power, and then use majority power to destroy minority Republicans.
Republicans are literally paying for the rope that will hang them.

The GOPe are largely spineless politicians. They may claim conservative values but are quite willing to enjoy the position, money, and fame and focus on getting reelected.
At the end of the day they’re not passionate about defending and truly representing conservatives. They know the media will jump all over them. They just don’t have the spine for it.
The D’s are a loose cannon. They’re the ones passionately driving ‘change’, except the change they’re looking for has no end and it can only be in the form of destroying everything American. Radicals will fight ferociously.
So we’re left with nobody representing us. I’m not disappointed however, as it is my expectation.
Gave up on the GOP about the second year of Trump’s presidency.
Nothing they do is anything less than capitulation to anything democrat. I think they are all probably nothing more than Deep State shills pretending to be something else.
All we can do within the system right now is a massive purge. We need to start voting against every incumbent in the primaries. I know lots of people like their guy, I get it, but we’ve got to send a clear, consistent, message or nothing positive will change. There will be some short term losses in the process, yes, but how could things be any worse than they are now? Incumbent Republicans have got to see an electoral bloodbath of deep state GOPe if things are to change. And that’s most of them. If the new guy is no good either, then vote him out and get another. Eventually they will figure out if they want to get elected and stay elected they better govern like Trump Republicans and stand up to far left tooth and nail. This is an existential battle.

If that other language Russian?
How different would the current congress look right now if every single one of them were a D? It would be the same. They have majorities and vote purely along party lines. They’re going to ram every insane policy down our throats.
I wouldn’t mind if our side didn’t vote at all and allowed every seat to be D. All the rotten R’s would be gone and the country would see just how bad the D’s are. THEN we might make some progress.
I have been bitchin about the republiCANT’S for years now... finally people are opening their eyes...
It’s us versus them..
Not pub vs dem..
Not lib vs conservative...
But citizens vs the ruling class..
If they got more than 2 terms in the house, or 1 term in the senate, they are bought and paid for..
There are no good ones.
They must all be replaced, every election cycle.
Question: When is the deadline to apply to run for the senate in Alaska next year?
In fact, the Founding States had expected the sovereign states to take care of their own housing and development challenges, without needing to use the federal government’s “magic wand,” aka unaccountable pork spending.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”[…] the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)
"It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose [emphasis added], serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country.” —Justice Brandeis, Laboratories of democracy.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
But since the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds are always stealing state revenues by means of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers according to the Gibbons v. Ogden excerpt above, the states are forced to beg the feds for their own revenues that Congress wrongly calls federal domestic spending to help relieve housing and urban development challenges.
Senate Republicans Are Failed Us... Big Time
