So it will run on auto-pilot. I guess.

Pretty much. And besides there's nothing these bozos can do that will make anything better.

Fair enough. I could see why people would think this.

There will be zero immigration reform as long as a dem occupies the WH.

So is that why Gaetz voted the way he did in 2017-2018?

I have no idea why he voted the way he did and neither do you. Wouldn't your whole argument support the idea that he should vote the Kevin line?

My point is that Gaetz (and many other Congress ‘critters) talk a good game. But slop at the trough. He’s no different, he just wants people to think he is.

The Federal Government should be closed down for a minimum of one year. My guess, assuming no false flag attacks from the “Agencies” to prove their need to be, most departments could be closed.

Thanks for posting.

This needs to be repeated over and ver again.

“Governments keep growing until they implode. It gets pretty ugly when this happens. Chaos, destruction, death and of course totalitarianism fills the vacuum. If you don't understand this, you are a dumb ass and a menace to society. Thus, the most important function of Congress is to restrain spending, and it has failed in a monumental fashion.”

Oh, so he did this because McCarthy wasn’t spending enough? I see. Up is down.

Just because he didn’t share a plan doesn’t mean there wasn’t one behind closed doors.

Fair enough.

However, the last Republican I saw with an actual plan to accomplish something, was Steve Bannon. Now, Bannon has a lot of issues, but the man can strategize. Since then, nothing.

Even Trump, who was magnificent, was totally unprepared for the 2020 election. And he had MONTHS to prepare.

Yeah, I know…swamp creatures, Soros DAs, WEF, Pelosi, the boogeyman, and the usual suspects conspired against him. Maybe. But there was NO PLAN.

Thus, until something actually materialize resembling strategic vision, IMHO this whole thing is bread and circuses.

Your mileage may vary.

I actually agree that Trump didn’t have a plan for 2020. There isn’t a plan for 2024 either, as far as I can tell.

The one with a plan seems to be Charlie Kirk. he’s been trying to get Rs to pay attention but most of the ones with any clout, don’t want Trump so they want to keep touting the “we need to get voters to the polls” line and ignore the fraud.

I’m not optimistic that we’ll take the WH.

Matt Gaetz: B 84% Hardly a RINO.

You wanna see a real RINO, consider Brian Fitzpatrick at 26%, the lowest rated "Republican" in the house, a favorite of gun grabber groups and labor unions. Interestingly he would be the most conservative democRAT, assuming his votes would have been the same. But that wouldn't be the case as he would be under constant pressure to toe the party line and vote the "correct" way.

Having lived through WW II and remember when Roosevelt died, I am aware how many times we have been disappointed by our elected traitors.

I’d hardly liken McCarthy’s tenure to having a cavity be force entered.

It’s sucked, and he was a putz.

But really…

Now Pelosi…THAT is the textbook definition of prime unwanted action.

I don’t understand the Mission Accomplished sentiment of many people (not you). To wit: every Dem voted with “the patriots.” Dems NEVER do anything against their self-interest.
