Bitch and moan to make a point, but 220 Rs in the house —likely not more than 1—would ever vote to replace after the last episode.
His head seems screwed on properly.
I always expect miracles, but never would I ascribe them to any human being.
Me too FRiend and thanks for the correction.
how long was mccarthy speaker?
He did no such thing. It is not even being reported that he released everything. Why have conservatives become just as bad as liberals at twisting the facts. I can’t even trust them anymore to tell the truth.
And have you heard the democrats screaming bloody murder this time about releasing video. No- that tells you all you need to know. The important stuff is in the videos that are reportedly being held back. And they have already told us that when it is released then the faces will be blurred out. Making it useless.
Do you know how you can get a small child to let go of a quarter. Just offer then a penny. That is how gullible conservatives have become.
“Do you know how you can get a small child to let go of a quarter. Just offer then a penny. That is how gullible conservatives have become.”
So sad, and so true. The same in every country.

At this point we don’t know what the speaker’s strategy is until it plays out fully. Good attorneys don’t always make their end game self evident when entering into a negotiation or a court battle. Laying out an initial plan may merely be his method of taking stock of the situation.
He needs to move two groups to a middle ground. Testing them is part of the process.
If this was the simple answer to the past couple of years, then why did it take so long to implement? Why did Fox shut it down? Why not feed as thousands of hours of pre-filtered videos? Why didn’t McCarthy do this and save his but?
AP is very, very concerned
Stopped reading at ap.
"The less legislation Congress passes, the better."
The key question concerning federal domestic policy is the following imo.
How many corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties and unconstitutional, unaccountable trillion dollar omnibus bills does it take to run the US Mail Service, one of the very few powers that the states have actually expressly constitutionally given the federal government to dictate domestic policy, most domestic policy now based on state powers that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds have stolen from the states?
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
I say none, no political parties or massive omnibus spending bills needed to deliver the mail.
That being said, the next major political event in USA is not hopeful Trump 47 being elected a third time, but Democratic and Republican Trump-supporting patriots getting ready ASAP to support Trump campaign by primarying ALL state and federal, lawmakers and executives, except for MTG Gaetz & Company (and others?), for the 2024 primaries.
After all, lawmakers and executives continue to show that they do not have the patriotism and leadership skills necessary to find legislative support for effective remedies for unconstitutional government policies.
In fact, if DC respected its constitutionally limited powers to deliver the mail, the worst problem that the country would otherwise be looking at with a new Congress of Trump-supporting freshman lawmakers is arguably that citizens that would ultimately get into the habit of lightheartedly questioning if the federal government has shutdown if they receive their mail a few days late.
Trump can endorse candidates from lists that patriots who respect the federal government's constitutionally limited powers provide for him, as long as candidates are not incumbents, candidates also promising to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments after they win office.
Consider the repealing of 16&17A as part of reparations for victim taxpayers of the unconstitutionally big federal government for having to pay a lifetime of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers and a few other constitutionally enumerated expenses.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
From the congressional record:
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)
Democrats [And RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting those same politicians to find remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.
Let's not allow ourselves to be fooled for third time in 2024 by the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties that have pirated control of state and federal governments.
Finally, consider that probably the main reason that we hear media complaints about the electoral college is that it is the only thing stopping the corrupt political parties from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.
That's always been the case in my mind. When these talking-head idiots talk about congress only passing seven bills, I personally think that's seven too many.
Lib'rul idiots think thats too few and wants HUNDREDS every Congress!
Not just NO but HELL NO! Gridlock is GOOD. It means they're not passing more laws that restrict our freedoms!
AP = America’s Pravda
The concept of “middle ground” is what got us in trouble in the first place.
Of course, Mascaro’s grievances are laughable.
Anything from the AP is automatically assumed to be BS. They are as far left commie as they can go.
Lefties want government to be a pyramid scheme with them at the top.
It is not House rules.
It is GOP conference rules. A MAJORITY OF THE CONFERENCE supported the CR.
Johnson could not deny that majority a vote. THAT would be a violation of the GOP rules. Yup
I am indeed aware of how RINOs work. No need to reiterate.
Then your beef is with the founders who created a system that only works two ways. 1) all parties (House, Senate, President) agree 2) Civil war.
“I am indeed aware of how RINOs work. No need to reiterate.”
But you take umbrage, as if there is a reasonable alternative.
