The focus on blaming those on the right isn't merely in the headline, but is also in Bogage's sub headline, which reads that "Republicans in Congress are repeating baseless claims long made by extremists, experts say, potentially putting federal workers in danger."

I never in my wildest nightmare would the IRS ever be considered a “Victim”. TLAs are Thoroughly Woke

The Governors of the “Several States” should just tell them NO! when they come looking for more money in their states.

If Rs get the House back, the funding for this bill should never be approved.

The Inflation Reduction Act also overrules supreme court, expands EPA’s control over energy industry

If you disagree, you will be sent to re-education camps; for your own security, of course.

That would take regular budgets. That hasn’t been done in years. Fat chance of Kevin McCarthy going there.
The continuing resolution is not going away.

Only extremists like the squad members are now not extremists. All Republicans are considered extremists. Time to sue for defamation of character.

During Prohibition, there was a gun battle here in the mountains between the revenooers and the farmer moonshiners.
The revenooers had Tommyguns. The farmers had heavy German machineguns they brought back home from WWI. Farmers 1, revenues 0. The revelers went back to Washington with their tails between their legs. It’s in the local newspapers of that era. I knew one of the farmers very well. He showed me the place where they bloodied them revennooers. That farmers German machine gun now occupies a proud place in the American Legion building here.

Could you elaborate?

Are you referring to AHA vs. Becerra and West Virginia vs. EPA?

...while the only people who have attacked government employees and government buildings are far-left Communist groups such as Black Lives MatterTM and Antifa.
