Do you have a choice whether to pay taxes on any government program?


Not really, but you damn sure have a choice in whether you get pregnant or not, so you statement is inane, which is true to form for you.

Now my question is to the few here, is Thomas Massie now bad?



Considering he became a public enemy of this board due to his outspoken support of DeSantis, I suppose we could flip that back over to you guys - Is he now good?

So how does he gets a spending bill without Ukraine spending through the DEM Senate and Biden?


He doesn't. He sends them a clean bill with a TON of hooplah, when they fail to move on it, he then blames them for shutting the government down.

"We've sent them a clean budget, we can talk about Ukraine funding after our government funds itself."

"Why are they putting Ukraine before America?"

etc.

Republicans had full control of Congress from 2015-2018 and did frick all with it.


People remember this. "Give us the House and we'll do X!." We gave them the House and they said "Give us both the House and Senate and we'll do X!" We gave them the House and Senate and they said "Give us the House, Senate, and Presidency and we'll do X!" We gave them the House, Senate, and Presidency" and here were are today. So-called "Republicans" spent more time from 2017-2021 doing their best to sabotage Trump than fighting back against the Schumer-Pelosi Gang, and now they wonder why no one pays attention to them and their excuses for not keeping their promises. The Democrats seem to have no problem keeping theirs, but the Republicans never seen to run out of excuses why they can't keep theirs..

I just fail to see what exactly the Republican Party, or the Republican "majority" is doing for its actual voters.

I fully supported MJ as the Speaker. I fully and completely retract and it pains me to say so.

He has been a complete and utter disappointment - starting with the atrocious omnibus, which basically violated his agreement with his own party and the rules made to put him there - and ending with this FISA bullshite, which basically violated every alleged principle he expressed while on the Judiciary Committee and as a "Constitutional Lawyer" not to mention the entire fricking 4th Amendment.

He should be removed. He's abdicated his responsibility and has been rickrolled by the Uniparty and Democrats. There's no difference in having a Democrat speaker, honestly. All we've gotten is a bunch of Democrat policies with some angry letters.

If the Republicans lose the House of Representatives, it will be only because they failed to fight hard enough on gerrymandering and also because their own dumbass decisions have depressed their own base to the point where we are wondering WTAF is the point of supporting republicans in the first place? There ain't a dimes worth of difference btwn what Joe Biden's controllers want, and what the HR has delivered. None. And now our priority is billions of dollars to Ukraine with Taiwan thrown in for good measure.

With friends like Eyepatch McCain and that Wisconsin prick who resigned in the most prejudicial manner possible - who exactly needs enemies?

No. Don’t overrule the Rules Committee. Ukraine funding does not go to the floor. Fund Israel. That’s it.

Let the rest burn down.

How many people on Social Security are getting pregnant?

I don't know many 65 year olds who haven't hit menopause.

It obvious that the Republican party is pulling Johnson’s string on the immigration issue. No other ration explanation why he would backtrack so drastically on this issue.

Some women just want to watch the world burn. I get it. I jut don't think anyone else is going to do any better. MTG was probably right in the first place to stick with McCarthy and focus on other battles.

You mean the guys that control the weaponized DOJ, the media, education, and are about to take back control of the House—without even having an election? Totally vulnerable.

Their platform is weak. Americans know their agenda isn't improving the lives of the people that make this country what it is.

You'd think they'd flock to the GOP but then they see the buffoonery circus going on and say nah I'm good.

Both parties are trash.

Right wingers all want "conservative purity". They also all want to individually define conservatism.


Liberals are the same way. The difference is the democrats vote lockstep and it works while GOP is split between true conservatives and limp wrist establishment types who won’t rock the boat
