I thought this was from the Bee for a minute

“It’s existential, it’s time-sensitive. Whether it’s our [bill] or somebody else’s, we’ve just got to get the money out the door,” Fitzpatrick told reporters on Thursday morning.

"Pennsylvanians can write in a name on Primary Day. I do it often."

Fitzpatrick does have a primary challenger, just not a viable one. Pretty much no money at all and therefore not a snowball's chance in hell:

At least it saves the trouble of writing someone in who has literally a 0.000% chance to win.

BTW, Fitzpatrick was the one member of the House in 2023 who voted more often AGAINST his own party than with his party. He is the ultimate RINO. The next-worst RINOs were clustered around 65% party support but this scumbag in PA was actually under 50%.

He sounds like another treasonous prick. He pulls this BS now that primary deadline has passed, what a scumbag.

Border’s time-sensitive, too. Had the Senate passed or at least amended HR2 months ago, and Brandon signed it into law, there would have been smooth sailing for aid to Ukraine. But those partisan Dems and Rinos (am I repeating myself?) just had to ignore HR2, and instead try to push a fake border bill that would have made matters worse.

How do you like that narrative, swampies?

Good one. It also makes me wonder how much is going to go INTO his pocket?

(we’ve just got to get the money out the door,”)

That one really stood out to me.

How about getting money out the door for American taxpayers FIRST!

Seeing as how it’s American taxpayer’s money being spent.

We’ll pay our taxes. But we’re not here to finance every neocon war.

For the record I AM for helping Israel, though.

How is Ukraine an ‘existential’ issue for an American Congressman?

It makes him feel good to fantasize about Putin being humiliated. Maybe he will get a nice job in DC when they start rebuilding Ukraine.

At some point, it will become apparent to everyone that a new party is needed. Relying on the corruptocrats to change their ways is getting pretty old, and not doing anything positive for the country.

“How much of ‘the money’ is coming out of your pocket?”

How much money is being filtered through the defense industry into congressional campaigns?

I was in Amman in 1998. The only decent connection for my modem was a phone number in Israel.

These RINO's and DemocRats must have a lot of money flowing into their offshore accounts. Can't have that spigot shut down.

Mr. Houck is more than worthy of our votes he was raided by the FBI on exaggerated charges that the jury at his federal trial repudiated.

More federal punishment by process in the January 6th tradition that started with the Bundy Family in the Bunkerville and Oregon Standoff cases where they came out clean over federal manipulation against them.
