Yes, RINOs disappear when their vote is needed and will make a differnce. We can all guess who wasn’t there for the vote. It’s the usual suspects. I am sure of that.

Typical scumbag republican letting the communist dems get away with everything. Congress needs to abolish all these alphabet agencies that have dirt on all of them to blackmail them into caving on all this crap.

They’re doing it wrong. Prove Garland is causing climate change and he’ll be gone by sundown.

Do we really care if the taxpayers don’t get fined? Because that’s who he would charge it to. She originally wanted to arrest him, then switched to this stupid idea.

“It wasn’t stupid; she at leaat tried to DO something.”

It was stupid and she didn’t try shit. All she did was flap her damn lips like the Trey knowing nothing would come of it.

The Republican Party is worthless.

Beyond the local and state level (and the latter is questionable) the GOP really is the stupid party.

Republicans play tiddlywinks while the Democrats are playing rugby.

The once-staunch conservative and self-described "man of principle" Tom McClintock, as do many professional politicians, has clearly chosen politics over honor as he condinues to migrate to the left. I'm certain he has invented all forms of reasoning that he hopes will explain away his failure to uphold those principles, but it's clearer with each vote he casts in alignment with the Democrat/Communists in the House that the true reason is that, just like the Left, he has made a political calculation that destroying his reputation and his integrity is the price he must pay to hold onto his cushy position as a member of the U.S. House in re-districted California.

It's a damn shame about McClintock, but at least the formerly misguided newbie that replaced McClintock in his previous district has stopped voting with him recently. Then again, the newbie (Kevin Kiley) knows there's an election coming up in this once-solid conservative district that is beginning to suffer from the ultimately lethal, progressive disease of "progressivism" mestasticizing from nearby Sacramento and Kiley must behave as a conservative ... or he'll be out after just one term (which may happen anyway as a result of the "progressive" dissease infection).

And please tell us why we’re supposed to vote republican ever again.
Not you, just a general question to anybody who wants to explain the difference between the two factions of the uniparty.

I’m reminded every few days at FR why I stopped voting in congressional elections in 2016.

From Politico: “ Republican Reps. David Joyce (Ohio), Mike Turner (Ohio), Tom McClintock (Calif.) and John Duarte (Calif.) voted against the resolution. A dozen Republicans didn’t vote.”
