The motto the Republicans in Congress should always have had is “Taking you to Socialism a little more slowly”.
Or; recklessly spending us into massive debt, but we complain about our spending as our Dems friends brag about it.
Other than Jim Jordan, I don’t know any Republicans in Congress who I would trust to carry through on what they say. That’s a sad state of affairs and I doubt I’m the only one who feels this way.
The GOP is three parties all fighting for the same name: Trump and the MAGAs, CountryClub, and ChamberofCommerce.
Trump is caught in a bind: if he kicks out the Clubbers and Chamberers, he turns the party into the American AfD, a purality that isn’t a majority, but if he keeps them in, they will sabotage everything he wants to do, and continue that sabotage until the Dems get back in power and they can become the Assistant Democrats once again.
With few exceptions, this is the age-old story with Republicans. They seem to want to squander every opportunity. Why aren’t we seeing Johnson and Thune aggressively pushing Trump’s America-First agenda?
Ha ha.
**************
GOP voters are just not that interested in accountability and their politicians know it. So nothing ever changes.
He got elected and, true to form, not a peep from that pimp.
I don’t know just when it happened, but Democrat politicians are now radicalized. The gloves are off. They now play hardball. And they play to win.
Unfortunately, too many Republican politicians are still stuck in a 1950s kind of world. Compromise, then go to the country club to meet their donors for drinks.
Based on a scale of 1-10...
I would rate the current Republican congress a solid 2.
What the H*** is wrong with these spineless wimps? Did they forget to take their testosterone supplements???
You were elected to GOVERN. Do some work...don’t just collect you checks, take vacay breaks and crap around. You should have passed many of President Trump’s EO’s into law by now. What the Hell is wrong with you??? Are you all compromised???
MAGA-up or get out. Resign if you can’t stand the pressure.
i agree.
republicans are bragging about codifying the ‘gulf of America’ like that means anything.
meanwhile, they’re doing nothing to bring charges against those who took money from the cartels and china. who were profiting / participating in human (child) trafficking.
we need to voice disapproval and outline expectations NOW
“What Is The Point Of Having A GOP Congress?”
What Is The Point Of Having Congre$$?
There, fixed it
...yeah right, Jordan is about as effective as Lindseed Graham, all talk NO action. Someone has him on tape and you never see action. But he loves talking a big game on Fox...
ymmv
...YES, 9 out of 10 of them are compromised and spineless. But their portfolios look great! ymmv
The Republicans have never learned how to wield power.
Between you and me, I think that is going to be the work of future President Vance, along with the replacement over time of the Clubbers and Chamberers in Congress with MAGA. It's getting from here to there that's going to take a lot of strategy and some divine intervention.
Where has The Federalist been.
The letter after the name means jack anymore.
The only reason political parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.
A pol is either loyal to our republic or to Deep State.
Congress is still Deep State’s.
