This is going just like I planned. A winter recess and when we return, we have a whole three business days to come up with a package to avoid a government shutdown. I don’t care, Shut It Down! Wait…… a government shutdown actually adds to the deficit? Oh ohhh.

Wait. Financial overages will add to the deficit, BUT it will add to the deficit under Biden. It’s a win. I’m a wizard!

Yeah I’m sure it was MTG that broke promises…..

Did you think it was strange that a freedom caucus member with no previous chair experience had no massive yells from the left?

When you are so far off the rails that you threaten Massey with fines for a tweet, and Massey is tired of your 💩 I wonder why you always go to the Republican can’t govern. Some seem to have consistency in their principles……right or wrong. And those are the ones you like name calling the most it seems.

Ok bro.

She knows how the crooked game is played.
If you don't earmark da money for domestic pork, the Demo-Bolsheviks will earmark da money for fraud, waste, and war. Its not like the money won't get spent on something. There is no such thing in da swamp where if you don't spend da money on one thing, it won't get spent. They'll even give some to Joey B. to subsidize Hamas.

Isn't she brilliant too?

Brilliant can be so situational. At a minimum she is brilliant to her constituents and others with a mindset similar to her constituents.

I would rather see the Republicans fix their broken party and leadership problems than line up like sheep heading for the gulag. They will take heat from both sides and people will be impatient with their brokenness. That should not deter those Representatives who were sent to Congress to “fix” things on behalf of their constituents. Too many campaign one way then vote another. Going along with the crowd and obeying the party bosses may spin into a nice country over party story but that is just more gaslighting and deception. That’s how I see this dysfunctional system.

Thank you Spey. I appreciate the conversation.

I can’t argue with that. I’d love to see consensus among the Republicans. I’d also love to see a Democrat or two start asking a few tough questions. I’m not saying this as though that’s how I hope they destroy their party. I’d rather see voters make a choice that forces that level of change. I only mean that I think it’s good for either party to have some loud mouth policing their own. If that makes sense?

Excellent post.
Imagine Trumpers being in denial of the above. Smdh

What is being trial ballooned in the media is basically Biden is going have someone at the door of Costco with a clicker counting people and once it gets to a certain number, everyone else has to come back tomorrow.

Yup, Republicans are the party of open borders. Democrats have once again solved a problem they manufactured.

Four more years! Four more years! Lock him up.

This is why I bet with the Democrats. Don’t bet against the casino.

I think this is the traditional method of kicking the can that got us here in the first place. One party then the other tries to roll out some crappy policy change with a flourish, pretending victory and lording it over the losing minority party at election time. Frankly, both parties have a base that seems to be satisfied with this. The other maneuver is to blame the opposition for not working in bipartisan agreement and abdicating leadership while doing so. That is why I’m not complaining about MTG trying to tear down certain factions of her party yet I can still complain about her hypocrisy when it comes to her ear marks in the spending bill. If she can’t remain loyal to conservative values when it comes to spending bills then I’m happy to see her voted out as well. So, in short, I think she’s useful in some ways and useless in other ways. The Republican Party needs to be dismantled and put back together properly regardless of the name calling that the opposition will engage in. It is pointless and childish to be overly concerned with short term optics in my personal opinion. I’d rather see action that fixes the problem for long term improvement. Again, just my opinion.

No guarantee that term limits will change anything. Nothing but lipstick on a pig.

It is prolly best that we do nothing different until we have a guarantee. Fortunately we will never have term limits.

And there is no bigger circus than the Trump Chhit Show.

Short term focus & lack of the intelectual experience.

Term limits are good enough for the president, but not for House or Senate folks? Why?

The only reason the 22nd amendment was made in 1947 was the Republicans got schlonged by Roosevelt four times.

I'm absolutely for term limits.
