Welcome back Nan Pelosi.

Well you have to admit, she fought tooth and nail 24/7 for the Leftist cause. McCarthy on the other hand has done nothing worth mentioning for conservatives.

God bless and protect Matt Gaetz, his family and loved ones. Amen.

I hope he is successful.

Republican Presidents who have spent the most money in the history of the party during their presidency: 1. Donald Trump 2. All the others

The spenders were Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi. Trump signed off on those budgets to avoid a shutdown.

Fast forward to today.

So then you support Matt Gaetz balking at the latest CR that locks in an annual two trillion dollar deficit, RIGHT?

Re: 417 - Your post is endemic of the problems encountered lately.

Either another poster agrees with your premise.

Or they’re a “corruption denier”.

Add they must be pro vaxx.

Accept it - not all FReepers will agree with your worldview.

You people continue to demonstrate your ignorance of governance. The dems have the Senate and the WH! The Speaker has to work with the party in control of the other parts of the govt! How is this unable to be understood by the people of this website???

Do the Dems have to work with the Rep-controlled House, which has the power of the purse? Why is McCarthy making all the concessions? What "victories" have we achieved.

McCarthy has considerable power. He isn't using it. If the situation were reversed you can bet a Nancy Pelosi would be asserting her power. All appropriation bills must originate in the House.

And Shumer has a very thin majority in the Senate, 51-49, yet Schumer governs like he has an overwhelming majority.

Explain this. Trump was the only incumbent President in history to receive more votes the second time and lose. Trump received 11 million more votes in 2020, a 17% increase. The election was stolen.

I’ll repeat myself. Did nancy pelosi have to work with the republicans? Or is that only required when a squishy rino is elected as speaker. At least nancy pelosi worked to achieve what HER voters put her in office for. Why doesn’t your boy Kevin do the same?

You excuse the actions of the rinos claiming that’s what the gop voters elected them to perform. Actually, they were elected on the LIES they told in order to get elected. Actually, they were elected to carry out the republican platform they lied about when they told voters they would.

Now, go stomp your feet billy!

So you believe Trump's votes went way up but you don't believe Biden got more votes than the previous Dem candidate? That perfectly explains the dishonest position of the trump cult.

To answer your question, I believe BOTH men received that number of votes because, and I'll type this slowly so you can get it, STATES MADE IT EASIER TO VOTE DURING COVID. More votes were cast due to the ease with which people could vote. It's really not hard to understand. Yet you don't understand it.

When the ruble rebounded after hostilities erupted, Russophiles said, see, the West has no sway over us! Now that it’s collapsed they say, well, Russia isn’t an import economy so who cares?

Has President Trump weighed in? He could make or break McCarthy.

You are forgetting what happened.

Hillary got 65M votes. Biden didn’t campaign and had no widespread support.

They shut down the voting in the middle of the night in the 5 biggest swing states, changed the signature rejection rules and kept counting until they found enough votes.

Joe Biden then increased Hillary’s vote total by 16 million votes. S i x t e e n M i l l i o n V o t e s. The least impressive, least liked, least capable candidate in the history of the Democrat party got 16 million more votes than the first woman to run and one of the shrewdest politicians in history.

Trump was holding rallies with thousands of people attending. There were Trump caravans with dozens and dozens of vehicles driving up and down the highways in half of the states. He had hundreds of thousands of people who said in 2016 that they didn’t trust him and wouldn’t vote for him and then said they would crawl over broken glass to vote for him in 2020.

Yes, Trump had much, much more support in 2020 than he did in 2016. Biden didn’t have nearly as much support as Hillary did in 2016.

The rules were changed in PA, GA, MI, AZ and WI to mail out and then collect millions of ballots to be scanned in until the right outcome was reached.

The election was stolen.

Have you seen Ken Paxton’s interview with Tucker? You should listen to what he claims they attempted (but failed) to do in Texas.

How many COVID vaccines were you tricked into taking?
Shouldn’t you perhaps stop for a second and ask yourself, “Am I too easily manipulated by the TV and Facebook?”

The reason you don’t agree with my premise is because you are wrong.

You are a corruption denier.

Because you are a corruption denier, you don’t realize that the elections are stolen and your government created a virus and tricked you into taking a vaccine to protect you against it.

Once you acknowledge that your government IS wholly corrupt, you will realize they stole the election and tricked people into taking the vaccine.

Then you won’t be wrong anymore and you will agree with my premise.

Okay, let's see.

You are a corruption denier.

Well, no.

Because you are a corruption denier, you don’t realize that the elections are stolen and your government created a virus and tricked you into taking a vaccine to protect you against it.

Uh, never took the vaccine.

And are some elections stolen? Yep, I believe they are. But if we know that, what is President Trump's plan, specifically what legislation are he and MAGA legislatures advancing in State Legislatures to reduce stolen elections? As in proposed legislation with Bill numbers, etc?

Once you acknowledge that your government IS wholly corrupt, you will realize they stole the election and tricked people into taking the vaccine.

It's easy thinking to say it's ALL corrupt. I don't believe it is. That takes some discernment.

Then you won’t be wrong anymore and you will agree with my premise.

Guess that did not work out - yet.

Trump can’t change the rules by himself especially if he isn’t in office.

For the sake of argument, let’s say the 2020 was stolen by corrupt judges changing the rules, corrupt SOS and Governors bending and breaking the election rules and corrupt poll workers hired by NGOs to cheat.

How can Trump or the MAGA legislators in OH or FL or TX do anything about this?

Are you claiming that because the same corrupt Republican scum bags who want to keep funding the war in Ukraine and keep funding Jack Smith and keep funding DHS and ICE aren’t doing anything about the election cheating, that means it didn’t happen?
