GOP Failure Watch Part V (the Minority in Congress edition)

You can take away Bull Connor, but you can't take away a white Southern man's attitude.

 

And many many other nice things!!!

 

I found that in the first video Cotton did a good job trapping Clack with his question. It was a got you question for sure, but that is how thins things go.

 

Today, I filed H. Res. 327 to hold Democrat @RepMaxineWaters accountable for inciting violent riots and Black Lives Matter terrorism.

She's either the biggest troll there is. Or more than likely, she's so locked up in her head that she actually believes what she's saying.
I would guess it is also possible that she's petty and resentful that people keep coming after her for being an uber dumbass (poor Marj, the target of the "Radical Left"!), forgetting of course that she's the one who drew up articles of impeachment the day after Biden was inaugurated...

 

Tweeting boosts your campaign contributions more than just about anything else she does.

 

Seems like corporate Voldemort is angry with muggle corporations...

So much for free enterprise in the GOP's world. If businesses make decisions that Republicans don't like, down comes the government's hammer.

 

Are businesses going to keep giving this guy money?

 

He'll keep accepting the money but he will stop writing them thank you notes.

 

There are other ways to give them money:

"Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law late Monday a bill that will cost Florida consumers who shop online an estimated $1 billion a year in sales taxes, with the money used to cut business taxes."https://t.co/7Eio5HQqWD

More GOP revisionism:

FACT 2: Partly to attract GOP support, Obama held down the cost of the stimulus bill--now widely seen as too small for the Great Recession--and included about 40% tax cuts, not spending.
But GOP leaders had decided at that dinner to oppose everything.

If you're going to lie, might as well make it a big lie. And that one is a VERY big lie.

Lots of things can change in the next 2yrs or so obviously. But still, looking that that list, even if it's who we expect, by and large, to run, the feeling is one of shaking ones head combined with worry.

2024 Republican Primary:

DeSantis 21%
Cruz 18%
Haley 10%
Pompeo 9%
Carlson 8%
Noem 4%
Cotton 4%
Hawley 2%
Abbott 2%
Nunes 2%

Been known for some time but the thought of DeSantis being president.... And his actions right now are obvious that he's trying to position himself as the heir apparent to Trump.

 

An interesting read on Macomb County, home of the Reagan Dems now Trump Republicans.

I may have told this, but I can always tell when I enter Macomb on the freeway. You notice right away.

This is part 2 of my ongoing series about extremism and the radicalization of the GOP: A 6,500-word dive into Macomb County and its embrace of Trumpism. This is how Reagan Democrats have become Trump Republicans. https://t.co/yGlozLZkz5

Part one is pretty decent, too.

 

The GOP at this point is not possible to save and the biggest threat to democracy. They need to be squashed and the keys need to be passed to the few true moderates that survive:

Republican lawmakers in Oklahoma and Iowa have passed bills granting immunity to drivers who hit protesters with their cars.
The GOP are losing their marbles and they have the nerve to claim that the left is destroying this country. Stuff like that which makes DeSantis dangerous for 2024 because he taps big time into that kind of stuff and is turning in the Deranged Right's poster boy.

 

Utah too!

 

I mean, in all seriousness when you think about it, some of the laws they've enacted in whatever state recently, whether it's this BS anti riot bill/laws, their 'voting reform' or their transphobic laws just to name those are the stuff of madness. Their stubborn and purely partisan stance on Covid, the vaccine and basic general safety is appalling. Could go on and on, yet they have the sack to label people on the left, they constantly refer to as 'lidtards" (because they're that emotionally insecure) crazy or willing to destroy the country: someone make it make sense...
They love their buzzwords, like coining every Dem/Liberal as part of the "Radical Left", which is just further proof of how deranged some of them are. Suits them to a tee though: the Deranged Right, the real threat to this country.

 

Something about free market...

Isn't the GOP argument against regulations and minimum wage that these things will self-regulate in a free market?

Kinda seems like maybe y'all actually just don't want to have to pay people more or provide safe and enjoyable work environments.
