When Democrats are in the majority, they get their way. And when Republicans are in the majority, the Democrats also get their way. Most recently, after the stopgap spending bill was passed, Rep Jamie Raskin took to MSNBC to boast that the Democrats “got the vast majority of what we wanted” from it. And for some Republicans that was the last straw.
Eight House Republicans allied with Democrats on a vote to remove Speaker Kevin McCarthy. And for the first time in over a century, a House Speaker was successfully booted from office.
A civil war among Republicans came down to threats from both sides of collaborating with Democrats in a House of Representatives with a narrow majority. And collaborating with Democrats seems to be the only thing that House Republicans know how to do anymore.
What are the legislative achievements of a House GOP majority, today, yesterday and the day before? They invariably involve collaborating with Democrats for personal political gain.
It’s been over a generation since a House Republican majority delivered for conservatives. Congressional Republicans are too terrified to fight Democrats and instead go after safe targets like each other. It’s not even worth counting how many times a Democrat White House made a House Republican majority cower in fear over the threat of being blamed for a government shutdown. Or how often that same majority compensated for surrendering to Democrats with meaningless virtue signaling votes that everyone knew were never going to pass the Senate.
Why are Democrats able to effectively wield their House majority while Republicans couldn’t? The Democrats are not afraid of what Republicans think of them. They develop a plan, implement it and dismiss Republican efforts to stop them. Republicans however care a great deal about what Democrats, in the House, in the media and the culture, think of them.
When Republicans threaten to blame Democrats for something, they laugh it off. Democrats backed the mobs that burned cities to the ground and opened the border to an unprecedented mass invasion without worrying what the Republicans would say. But Republicans live in fear of being blamed for a government shutdown. Rather than risk being blamed for shutting down the country, they shut down their own agenda, and then formed circular firing squads.
House Republican majorities do very little because they want to avoid taking responsibility for anything. When there is a Republican Senate majority or a Republican White House, they defer to them. And when there isn’t, they defer to the Democrats. The pattern is that the House Republican leadership wants someone else to take on their responsibilities....
A civil war among Republicans>>>>>>>>>>>>>>\\NO its not, its xivil war on the Democrats and only a minority of Repyublican Congressman have the courage to prevent to fascistic socialization of America based on woke culture that no American majority wants, democrat or republicans.
SO the eight had courage. Would that therest of the hand wringing Republicans had such courage.
NOW GET MPOVING WITH PROP TEM SPEAKER, SUBMIT AN D IOTEMIZWED 12 point budget .........and reflect the values of MAGA!
THis is a bttle that needs top be fought whether hand wringers like Daniel Greenfield likes it ornot.
THe hand wringers have a chance to step up and cast of theior elitist views., and if they do so they will not be primaried.....and thats the way it goes.
> Listen to Biggs 7 minute floor speech, that tells me all I need to know.
Anyone have a link to a video of this?
(or a transcript)
thanks
Not really. The reason why the Democrats can do this is because they have the media in their pocket and will never lose the narrative.
It really is that simple.
Great analysis, as always.
“A Broken Congress”
They’re remodeling a house across the street. They’re breaking a bunch of stuff and then rebuilding.

Exactly! The ones who fight for us are often thrown out (e.g., Allen West). I’m surprised Jim Jordan’s still around.
......do-rag-headed Rep Jamie Raskin raved abt the funding bill; he took to MSNBC
to boast that the Democrats “got the vast majority of what we wanted” from it........
Yeah, sure Raskin is his usually phony self.
REALITY CHECK
House Democrats were desperately using every tactic extant
to delay the vote on Repub’s funding bill vote including:
<><>their motion to adjourn vote ...... which failed,
<><>Hakeem Jeffries “magic minute” time-waster—lets the opposition speak as long as they like,
<><>disinformation Dem staffers were ordered to disseminate about the bill
<><>Jammal Bowman’s ditsy delay trick w/ a fire alarm
The Dems needed to buy time for their Senate counterparts in to pass a Democrat funding measure to provide billions of taxpayer dollars for Ukraine, whereas the House-passed plan provided zero dollars for Ukraine.
Upshot. When Dem delay tactics failed, and the House passed the GOP funding plan, wily Democrats changed their tune and began singing its praises—even though it provides zero money for Ukraine—and once they recognized defeat, they voted for it and blithely claimed “they won.”
Of, For, And By The People doesn’t matter one whit to those entrenched.
It’s: of, for, and only my people that is foremost on their minds.
Chuck em out on their azzes after doing a thorough deep dive of their finances to ascertain why they are “suddenly” millionaires. Take all ill-gotten gains and apply it to the public debt. Either imprison or exile them and their families based upon their crimes against the people.

Continuing resolutions takes away the House's ability to control spending, puting the Bureaucrats in control.
THIS! is because Democrats know in their hearts the lickspittle MSM will be right there to back them up and help blame Republicans for whatever the reason of the day is.
