It’s going to Pass.

Republicans could’ve spiked it in the Rules Committee, and Thomas Massie stabbed us in the back.

Election… betrayal. … Election… betrayal. Election… betrayal

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has risen rapidly to the top of my list of "RINOs" that need to be replaced.

Here is another of my reasons for this opinion,
