#GOP #Republicans #Shutdown

At least this Rep is intelligent, can form complete and coherent sentences, and is attempting to be proactive vs (solely) reactive. That is, until he spins how McCarthy has "the right set of skills to lead the House during this fractious time". McCarthy, himself, almost broke the grand OLD party just by getting his seat. His very presence is fractious. What America truly needs and is sorely lacking is a functional, sane, strong, and objective Republican party. #drainit
The GOP falsely accuses the Democrats of this current inflation. Inflation is here because of Trump's tax cut & reform. Trump’s $1.5 trillion tax cut package Republicans pushed through Congress, which he said would super-charge the economy but the tax cuts also fueled record deficits and they claimed it would pay for itself in 10 years. That piece of personal tax cut money that the 99% received will end starting in 2026 and too paid back every year for the next 10 years. During the campaign Trump argued that Goldman Sachs held “total control” over both Democrat Hillary Clinton and GOP rival Ted Cruz and he even released a television ad that flashed an image of Goldman Sachs chief executive Lloyd Blankfein and warned of a “global power structure” that was robbing American workers.
Then this knuckles for a brain brought the Banks to the swamp and he said he was going to drain the swamp, but he brought in a massive 17-foot gator Steve Mnuchin that was a Hedge fund manager at Goldman Sachs for 17 years and made him the secretary of the treasury. Gary Cohn was the 15-foot gator and he was the chief economic advisor to Trump and he was COO for Goldman Sachs for 25 years.
Trump gave away another $2.4 trillion to bankers and then they went and bought their own stocks to a total of $436.6 billion.
Trump Landslide! Red Wave 2024! McCarthy 2028!
He made sure he promoted himself first. 😂
MTG and MG will be kicked out of Congress before the end of 2023.
Illegal immigrant’s should not have the right to work in our country or live here!!!! Ya’ll are so stupid I swear USA is doing down in flames because of “Blue” stupidity! We don’t go into another country illegally to work or live so what gives them the right to in our country?!
There seems to be at least some decency about that guy. I personally think that threatening a government shutdown is basically contempt for Congress and the country. It is not maintaining a budget like Congress is supposed to be but holding it hostage instead. It seems he may actually agree on that one. Maybe.
finally , sense coming out of Dusty Johnson. The first member of the GOP to put forward common sense ideas regarding the looming govt shutdown
This guy sounds like he has a brain in his head. Poor devil won't go anywhere with the idiots he has to deal with.
The GOP are treasonous putin puppets period
Let it shutdown. They're just going to keep giving our money to Ukraine for the next 20yrs like Iraq and Afghanistan.
Republicans under the turd! Had the chance and the only thing that happened was someone got prison time under the turd got jail time for stealing the FUNDS!!!!! Owe and the turd pardon him!!!!
My sentiments exactly.. seen a recurring nightmare 😢
Kev has the RIGHT set of skills to run the House into chaos!😅
Work, did he say work, has a Repulsivian done any work since President Obama was elected?
like it's a good idea to give the repubs what they want first and then trust them to come to the table in good faith on the rest. hah! faith they do not know what faith is.
With all these GOP members circling the drain, we're gonna need a bigger septic tank.
McCarthy betrayed truth for power can't perform his position allows the blackmail stating to comply with demands or they'll burn the house down. There's no negotiating they're in control.
No authoritarianism rule, shut it down if necessary
a dead mouse could do a better job as speaker than that nitwit in there right now. and that's saying something.
The border is secure.
God forbid they should try to be bipartisan.
McCarthy has what right set of skills? He has skills?
She commented that America "lost money" on the auto bailout. Yup. A little. Roughly $9 billion. It was written off after U.S. government sold its last remaining stock shares of the auto companies….Annnnd theyre still losinnnnng!! The auto industry was saved to keep good paying jobs here in America! Not factories full of part timers! Low pay does NOT help drive our economy! Nor was it saved to send that work to Mexico or China!
The republicans are so dived they hate sharing power and we know witch ones are going to cry and complain the most, then the blame game between republicans and democrats starts all over again, this is so old and where going to see another government shut down
Secure the border. Pay border patrol high respectable wages so they won't have to be on the take. One payload for the day can earn them $5-10k vs $1500 for the week.
Typical politician. Talked a lot but said nothing substantial. Isn't it interesting how they learned the language on how to say nothing but make us believe that he said a lot.
No challenge here. This interview was a waste of time & was another Republican commercial. Way to cave, NBC.
Vote Blue 2024!
You know I live in a border city with MX, I believe the employees that cross over to the U.S. to work, but live over there should be charge a certain amount of TAX if they want to only work here, and live over there at a cheaper rate. 😠
The Clinton/Obama/Biden cabal and the Bush/Cheney clan are all on the same totalitarian world order team. "Freedom Caucus" is an politician not on the team.
Crazier making deals with the craziest!
Threatening shutdown two times in the same year shows the GOP is completely incompetent. No statesmanship, no negotiating skills. Which are the ONLY skills politicians are supposed to have. You're fired GOP. Voting all Blue down the ticket 2024.
Make that the Free Dumb caucus
“Because of the MAGA GOP Congress out of-control chaos, it has been and will continue to be my priority to pass bills that focus on states that elect MAGA. We will remove your state 2024-2025 Federal Infrastructure and 2024 Federal Aid Funding in the same portion as MAGA that you elect. This reduces the 2024 Federal Budget by $116 Billion. We don’t care if it shuts down your state; you elected people who say this is what you want! We believe you!”
Percent Reps elected that are MAGA GOP*: WY 100%, AZ 56%, ID 50%, MT 50%, MO 50%, WV 50%, TN 44%, LA 33%, AL 29%, VA 27%, SC 29%, CO 25%, GA 21%, OH 20%, FL 18%, TX 16%, NC 14%, WI 13%, MD 13%, IL 6%, PA 6%
(For fellow math geeks: All numbers are real; MAGA percent elected multiplied by Fed funds described for states shown really adds up to $116 Billion. Who knew Federal Budgeting could be so easy! And fair! Giving MAGA exactly what they want – they voted “No” for Infrastructure and Aid! They demand reductions! Leaving the rest of us out of their BS!) *Based on wiki “Freedom Caucus and Allies” names.
What does the border "Crisis" have to do with the budget? LOOK at that weasel smooth talking viper…. What do Trumpublicans do all day at their jobs?
Act like BOBLURT and drink and party? Seems we have a congressional do-nothing "Crisis."
