The GOP

[dawg80]

Miller-Meeks retains her House seat for the GOP, Iowa. The recount is finished, and she picked up a few votes. House now sits at 220-214 with one California seat still being counted. It's only been 3 weeks...worse case will be 220-215 GOP. We have the majority, now if the MTGs in the crowd will go-along with the rest of the GOP caucus, not rock the boat, then we can actually enact Trump's agenda and get some things done.

ADVICE: IGNORE THE DEMS AND THE COMMIE LAMESTREAM MEDIA, ALL SURE TO BE SQUAWKING AND COMPLAINING ON EVERY DAMN ISSUE. VOTE TOGETHER!

Way more worried about the Mitch McConnell, Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski types in the Senate than MTG. They think THEY have a mandate to determine Trump's cabinet!

Last time I looked, MTG was all in for Trump's agenda. If she is rocking the boat, it's likely off course.

Four RINOs in the Senate for sure.

Four RINOs in the Senate for sure.

All four are worse and more corrupt than any liberal demoncrat.

[dawg80]

I understand the sentiment, but there is nothing worse than the democraps. Let's say that these four RINOs are often "as bad" as the 'craps.

I will point out, in fairness, that McConnell is the reason Trump has three nominees now on the Supreme Court. Together with the Herculean efforts of Senators Grassley and Graham.

[dawg80]

Welp! hate that this is true, but it is.

A guest on CNBC, an expert on "all things Congress" and an economic advisor, just told the truth about the sorry-azz GOP. He says, with 100% certainty, there will be NO additional Trump tax cuts, NONE of those promised by Trump. The absolute best Americans can hope for, and even this is a reach, is an extension of the current Trump tax cuts (passed in 2017 and due to expire in 2025). Why? Well, according to this fellow, the GOP has "those not interested in anything "Trump" and have their own self-interests which don't dovetail with what is good for Americans." The Democrats, he says, are even worse. But if anyone thought that the GOP owning all three parts of the DC government meant anything...sorry.

He pointed out that Speaker Mike Johnson's "farm bill," a simple farm assistance program is DOA because Johnson does not have enough Republican votes to pass it, and the Democrats are staunchly opposed to it. [The Dems hate the farm industry and want the US dependent on food-imports from China and other socialist nations.]

In all matters regarding the budget and the budget fights to come in 2025, this fellow says Johnson will need at least 13 Dems to support his bills or they will fail. And, Johnson will get some or most of those Dem votes, just not the same ones each time. It's going to be a close-run thing on ALL budget items. The GOP will NOT, no way, not going to happen, "march in lockstep in support of the Trump agenda." Trump made this matter even worse by removing three of his supporters from the House, and two from the Senate.

Now, this is all conjecture based on this guy's opinion. But, I fear he is right. One has only to look at history to see how stupid the GOP is.

[dawg80]

The GOP and their circular firing squads...stupid. Note how the dems are saying, and they WILL do it, they will stay together, BLOCK VOTE, no holdouts, no departures from the party line. The stupid GOP is fighting among themselves over who should be speaker, over every detail of this latest budget battle. Instead of accepting a victory with better things to come, the GOPpers insist on being stupid. Well...YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID!

It's a very real possibility that NO GOPper will be Speaker. Yep, it could easily happen. Unless the morons just get behind Johnson with 100% steadfastness, there is chance not enough GOPpers will be available to vote for Speaker and the dems will elect that kook Hakeem Jeffries. One GOP bimbo Rep. Schwarz is refusing to caucus with the GOP and Texas Congresswoman Granger is reported to be senile and has been committed to a senior care center in Texas. If just one more GOPper can't be present, for illness or some other reason, the dems will sweep Jeffries into power. I hate it for our nation, but damn would that ever serve the asinine GOPpers right.

The GOP is weak, pathetic, stupid, and REALLY STUPID! (for emphasis).

There is talk of Liz Cheney being charged with contempt of Congress, witness-tampering, and other felonies in connection with her role in the J6 hoax. Okay, she deserves it. But, what about the rest of the bogus J6 committee, all democraps. Not a word, not a peep of going after them. Know why? Jim Jordan and Comer and all the rest of the GOPpers are AFRAID to mess with the dems. Chicken shit! They know the dems don't give a rat's ass about Lizzy girl Cheney so there will be no repercussions for going after "one of their own," which is how the Left views Dizzy Lizzy.

In 1976 I turned 18 and registered to vote. Many of you will recall we were all told to register as democraps because of the way Louisiana's primary system was set up. If you wanted to have a voice in Louisiana politics you had better be a registered dem. I never voted for a dem in any statewide/national elections and only voted for a dem when it was a dem vs. dem in a runoff, then I chose the lesser of the two evils. When I decided some years ago to change my registration I changed to No Party because the GOP is simply too stupid and I could not, cannot, bring myself to be associated with a bunch who can't even organize a bar-be-cue.

[DawgyNWindow]

And the republican party continues to falter.

Mike Johnson blew it when he allowed the Dems to turn a simple CR into a Omnibus dem wish list, and it made sense that the rank and file turned on him and demanded something different.

That said, now we have a few republicans refusing to cast their vote for his speakership (yes, he proved he is flawed, but he is supported by Trump and 99% of the republicans in the house), once again showing they cannot lead from the majority. They can only whine when things don't go their way!

As the dims continue to incrementally move us toward government controlled socialism, censorship and stomping on the rest of bill of rights, the republicans are powerless to fight back because so many cannot see the forest for the trees.

I can't believe Trump wanted to work with these morons again.


Edited to add....nevermind. Maybe this is a sign the republicans can actually get something done this go around.

[dawg80]

Johnson reelected as Speaker, officially on the first ballot as the nays changed their votes to yays. Good, now let's get on with the business of bringing our country back.

SQUAWKING AND COMPLAINING ON EVERY DAMN ISSUE. VOTE TOGETHER

!

beautifully describes MAGA,,,,,,

[dawg80]

The extremists on the FAR right, yeah. Not that they're not right in the purest philosophical sense re: policies. The entire federal government needs to be "shut down" and every single position in every single department closely examined, many eliminated, and then filled only by true conservatives. Note, I did not say filled by "Republicans." I said and meant TRUE CONSERVATIVES.

BUT!!! that is not reality. And so, the GOP has to play the game and take incremental successes and improvements. This is what the "MAGA extremists" don't seem to understand.

[techman05]

Just like the abortion argument. Abolition is not a good tactic. Incrementalism is the best way.

Cassidy is suddenly on Trump's team. What a fake! I've noticed the Louisiana news feed (whoever that is) is running about three stories a week on his recent "conservative legislation". He'll be lucky to make it into the run off after jungle primary he was so adamant about keeping in place.

McConnell is likely the most corrupt member in place Dem or Republican.

Collins is far from a conservative, but at least she votes as her constituents would have her vote. She defines RINO.

Murkowski should be sent home by her conservative constituents. She and Cassidy are woven from the same cloth.

If Cassidy votes against RFK he's done. He will never hold political office in Louisiana again (nor should he). I do believe he will become a big fat cat lobbyist in DC and continue to try to influence legislation via the "old ways" lobbyist did.

Big pharma will make this call through the corrupt RINOs like carbon capture Cassidy.
