The GOP has a very thin margin in the House and all Hakeem Jeffries needs is 2 or 3 more congressmen while keeping the Democrats together to sign a discharge petition for the Ukraine funding bill that just passed the senate to bypass Speaker Mike Johnson and bring the bill to the floor for a vote.

We are fricked.

Yeah we are. The GOP utopia you are hoping for will never happen. The people out there aren't like the people in here.

i am pretty sure this is going to happen. the speaker needs to bust any republicans from their committees if they do.

While I would like that, my expectations have never been that high for congress.

Will this give you a thrill for the 11 remaining months that the GOP will be in the majority?

What are your expectations? The Executive alone?

New RNC leadership needs to start pulling re-election funding from RINOs. Up to, and including, McConnell.

This has been my statement to them everytime they've asked for money. I will still give money to individual politicians who've shown they give a frick, but the RNC and super PACs can go DIAF.

It's going to be almost all Dems and the Republicans that are not running in '24 voting for this bill.

They truly hate American people. All America is to these people is a grift. One big fricking grift.

So reactionary. It would be good to have GOP leadership that is visionary.

This right here is why people that used to vote Republican no longer bother.

Unlike the Democrats the Republicans can't stick together on anything.

Until better Republicans are elected and more of the GOPe and RINOs are purged they will continue to disappoint.

Oklahoma should have a better Republican than Lankford. Texas should have a better Republican than Cornyn. Utah should have a better Republican than Reek. And so on and so on.

When you get rid of one of your own and he is replaced by a DEM... shite is what you get.

I'm starting to blame more and more GOP voters for not getting rid of the establishment. WE are allowing this shite to take place.

They are way to high for this or probably any congress in my lifetime.

- Pass laws that force the executive to enforce border law.
- Don't renew the AUMF. If you want to go to war make a new and more targeted war authorization.
- Repeal the Patriot Act.
- Force the executive into more reciprocal trade policy.
- Rescind the contract between the Federal Reserve and the federal government by nullifying the Federal Reserve Act and move all monetary policy under the Executive (Treasury Department) as constitutionally outlined.

Like I said, they will never meet my expectations.

The real difference between these parties. Democrats never hesitate to use every ounce of their power. Republicans like to take it up the arse.

That's because many Republicans are ideologically aligned with the Democrats.

Mine either.

You can’t tell me this procedure wasn’t planned. GOPe gets to say…”we tried”

Mike had the power of the purse and gave it away.
