Thank you for proving my point
so you think the GOP can win right now?
What is a realistic picture of this victory?
How will you achieve that realistic picture of victory?
And please, avoid NPC talking points like "muh uniparty" or "GOPE and DEMs are the same thing".

You folks need to learn to read the room. There were 8 Rs and 208 Ds that voted to vacate. That's a win for the Ds and the Rs got snookered. The MSM is state owned. Government shut down will 100% fall to the Rs in 2024.
They are high on hopium and think they have power because Gaetz did the DEMs bidding.
When it doesn't work out, they will revert to either (1) NPC talking points (muh Uniparty); (2) conspiracy theories; or (3) a combination of 1 and 2.

Another common government practice regarding Budgets, … is the “spend it or lose it” Budget practice followed by every government Deparment.
Remove this incentive, and the habit will change.

Doesnt this mean the minority republicans in the house hold all the cards? Do conservatives care if the government isnt funded? Is that better than out of control debt and spending? Help me understand why we shouldn't threaten to shut down the government in order to get very conservative-friendly bills passed, like a budget for starters.
Checks and balances in action.

It became vogue at the time and my company installed it for a couple of years. Pain in the arse but it makes you think.

where is the “realistic picture” that puts non-MAGA Republicans in a position to achieve any form of legislative victory?
