There will likely be another debt ceiling lifting job again soon. Attach it to that.
Thanks. Good post. Even though it might not become law this time, the House Republicans did what’s important to get it passed later and get representative votes for the record.
Negative commentary against their action now is a tactic to push activists and members of Congress to give up. It’s similar to the tactic of saying that we can’t win an election because of exaggerations about election fraud. Yes, there is fraud. But we can still win an election, if we don’t allow a bizarre, noisy, conspiracy-theory-mongering crew to make us all look like fruitcakes.
Absolutely complete and correct! This is exactly why the ‘red wave’ never materialized last fall, and up here in MI we lost both the state house and senate for the first time in decades as an example. The GOPe proved itself worthless and they were tossed from congress as fast as they won the last two times.
The do-nothing party is not gonna get re-elected like the previous generation, those days are over and voting for the lesser of evils is over. And oh, they could have done something about KenyanKare also when they had the chance but DID NOTHING. It may be semantics to many - but the reason this country is a freakin’ mess is not because the rats won elections, it’s because the GOPe enabled them all the way.
They needed 60 votes...not a simple majority. Pay attention!
Schumer will knock it down. Democrats do not want to see a border solution. They are Anti-Democracy and Anti-American.
But, but, but it will make the dems look bad to vote it down in the senate and Biden will look bad vetoing it. As if these people care how they looks.
Its like when you order a hamburger and they only bring you the wrapper. But lets give the House credit at least they passed it.
“What solution do you propose and how is it accomplished?”
That is the point, nothing is going to get accomplished until Republicans get full control again... So they need to stop insulting our intelligence by trying to blow smoke up our skirts with this dead BS, The only thing productive that they can do is expose hidden facts even though they actually go nowhere and they do nothing about them. And block any Democrat bills coming from the Senate.
That is it... We are deadlocked and nothing righteous or productive is coming out of there until after the elections. And I will bet right now that even if the Republicans win all three in 2024 still nothing will come out of there but more oppressive BS. So they need to quit insulting our intelligence... They are starting to make fools of themselves. We have grown out of the habit of sending fools our money. So they are not doing themselves any favors by bullshirting us.
They are trying to play us for ignorant fools just to get donations...
Just like all the anti-Obamacare votes ... all show until they got the Presidency, then they still had a problem passing it. This is as good as a lie. The Senate probably wouldn’t pass it and Demented Joe wouldn’t even think of signing it. A total waste of TIME and clickbait for “Republicans”.
So it’s worth $10 toward the perpetual FReepathon?
“The cynicism about this is soooo depressing.”
I absolutely agree it is... Been bummed out for over 20 years now.
But unfortunately, lying to ourselves to feel better is not going to change the reality.
“looks good on the gop resume.”
It translates to “Look I tried! Now send me money!”
Yep, that is about it...
Where was it when it could pass the Senate and be signed by the president.
They only kick stuff like this out when they know it’ll dead end.
Coward Republicans say nothing about corrupt elections.
.
It would be misleading for me to jump up and down.
We know / they know - the Senate is waiting to smack it down.
False enthusiasm doesn’t help.
.
Shouldn’t this had been done weeks ago so they could prepare for what’s already been happening. Seems like they are slipping in as many as possible in the last days. Damage is done.
Both parties do the same. That’s their job...
How many times did they “pass” legislation related to getting rid of obamycare?
Same old story...
Throw some old, dried up, moldy bread crusts to us peasants...
The classic GOP circle jerk continues unabated...
No freedoms & liberties restored...
No communists in jail...
No J6 justice...
87,000 new KGB assassins being hired, trained, and distributed across the country...
Pathetic...
Doesn’t mean I have to clap when they do it
Republicans have had it before the USSC for months...up to about 3 weeks ago...
