Democratic majority leader says Republicans shouldn't criticize Biden when 'we're at war'
Fox News ^ | May 13, 2022 | Houston Keene

Posted on 05/13/2022 2:25:34 PM PDT by McGruff

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., on Friday slammed Republicans for criticizing President Biden when "we’re at war."

Hoyer, the second-highest-ranking House Democrat made the inflammatory statement while debating on the House floor, pushing back on Republicans’ pointing out Biden has "clamped down" on producing energy domestically.

"It is unfortunate that in a time of war, that we spend all the time blaming our own president," Hoyer continued. "It is unfortunate that when the Europeans put themselves over the objections of numerous administrations in a place where they had a dependence on Russia, Russia has no leverage over us."

I do not think that the word "war" means what Steny Hoyer thinks it means. "War" is a thing that is voted on by both houses of Congress. When is the last time Congress declared war?

Steny Hoyer and Joe Biden weren't even in Congress the last time that happened. If only Congress could get the Supreme Court to rule on the existence of war, so Congress can avoid doing its job.

Does he mean the war against the American people?

I think the Democrats (and assistant Democrats) should lose that war.

War is business, and business is good.

The MIC had to find a fast replacement for the billion dollar a day Afghanistan money spigot.

Ukraine fit the bill, so....

Stop calling them “democratic” anything, the name of the party is the domocrat party and the members are democrats, and candidates are Democrat candidates, voters are Democrat voters.

Contrastly, we are the Republican party, we are Republicans, and candidates are Republican candidates, and voters are Republican voters.

Democrat is a noun, stop allowing them to use as an adjective.

F’n stop the madness!!!!

"It is unfortunate that in a time of war, that we spend all the time blaming our own president," Hoyer continued.

Hoyer has to know that we have a mildly stupid leader who is trying to draw the USA into a pointless nuclear war.

Biden has wrecked everything he has touched, be it our southern borders invasion, rampant inflation, foreign policy across the board, Covid, USA citizens last, baby formula shortages, the coming famine, and on and on.

Wake up, Hoyer!

Absolutely. And I’m still waiting to see Zelenskyy’s personal bank accounts. I also want to know what crack government agency is tracking the billions we’re shoveling to Ukraine.

I have heard that Ukrainian has piles of foreign debt and that much of our foreign aid is being funneled to the banks so Ukraine doesn’t miss their debt payments. So basically the American taxpayers are bailing out the bankers who apparently never really ever shoulder any real risk. The American taxpayers always absorb every risk.

I’m way prettier than Scarlett Ohara.

Seriously though, I’ve already planned my “bug-out” for if this thing goes nuclear. (Assuming there is sufficient warning). If there isn’t any warning... well....

We’ll meet again,
Don’t know where, don’t know when,
But I know we’ll meet again
Some sunny day.

Keep smiling through,
Just like you always do,
‘Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.

So will you please say hello
To the folks that I know,
Tell them I won’t be long.

They’ll be happy to know
That as you saw me go,
I was singing this song.

We’ll meet again,
Don’t know where, don’t know when,
But I know we’ll meet again
Some sunny day.

Could someone point me to that “War Declaration” as declared by Congress?

A national emergency “war on poverty” was declared a long long time ago. The FEDGOV has never declared that war over. The constitution is suspended.
So. Don’t question your tin-pot dictators! Got it!?

We are? DC and dimocraps will so anything to change the subject of their poor performance. They care more about foreigners and illegal aliens than they do about their own citizens.
