SDC Your numbers are off that number doesn’t include military aid or pledged 42 BIllion. I posted it a couple weeks ago from credible source. It’s 143 Billion now.
https://www.csis.org/analysis/aid-ukraine-explained-six-charts
Actually I think we are both wrong. Only about 105 Billion.
1? The European Union is also in the process of approving it’s aid package for Ukraine for 2023; which is over $20 billion US dollars. This does not include the new aid fron the UK and other some non-EU countries.
Time for the a-holes to fire up their own site.
Cinco Bebe! Cinco!
All good things must come to an end.
Maybe Truth Social should buy HHR.
All HHR posters must swear undying allegiance to Trump though and wear MAGA hats.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders for president in 2024 if Trump doesn’t run. She won by 28% percent!
Imagine what she could do at the National level!

This is my only post on the NFL this season. The Bills-Bengals game is currently suspended in the first quarter. Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field. CPR was administered on the field by paramedics. He was transported by an ambulance on the field to a hospital. 24 years old. Both teams went to their locker rooms.
Dibs on A-hole Pundit.
The Tofu Report – TTR
Both catchy, short and east to remember.
Game postponed. Player in critical condition at University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
Canada has provided a significant amount of assistance to Ukraine:
“Canada’s financial assistance including this bond issuance total $2.5 billion. Canada has separately committed more than $2.5 billion in military, humanitarian, and other assistance to Ukraine this year. This brings Canada’s total commitments to Ukraine to more than $5 billion.”
Canada doesn’t surprise me. Justin is a key WEF globalist player.
So a player collapses and they postpone the game.
I am glad I don’t watch the woke NFL anymore.
JeffP really is a despicable ass. If you provide aid to Ukraine you support the WEF agenda?
Zzzzzz….
Not that Trudeau isn’t a far leftist woke turd, that isn’t in dispute.
Are the woke NFL players too ‘traumatized” to play after a player is injured? Geezus.
Only about 105 Billion.”
I agree with the Putin lapdog sycophant toady.
“Only”
Maybe they will just cancel the woke NFL because it is “dangerous’.
I just watched the replay of the injury for the first time.
Seems like a normal hit to me, one that occurs dozens of times during a game. Maybe it triggered/worsened an underlying condition. I really don’t see anything on that play that would cause a player to collapse that way. The fact the player jumped up after the play is an indication he didn’t think it was such a big deal either.
He wasn’t injured! He had cardiac arrest. He was revived on the field. If not for that, he would have died in front of thousands of fans.
Football is not a sport where you expect a death occurrence during a game.
Canceling the game was the right and respectful thing to do.
He’s in critical condition and hospitalized.
I don’t agree.
Respectful? zzzzzz. You think it is disrespectful to continue the game because he was carted off the field and sent to a hospital?
Tens of thousands of people went to the stadium to see a football game. How about “respecting” them?
The game should have resumed.
Before the NFL went woke, the game would have resumed.
Bet on it.
Ok, I see now that the game was supposed to resume after a 5 minute warm up but it was the Bills coach that told the team to leave the field.
It puts a different light on it, the coach maybe thought his team could not perform adequately given the circumstances.
I disagree with NFL’s decision to suspend the game, it is not a coach’s decision, but I can understand why the coach might feel that was in the best interest of HIS team.
The guy’s heart stopped. Technically, he died. This was not a torn ligament or fractured leg.
Had it not been for the medical staff using a defibrillator to revive his heart until he could be transported to the hospital, he would have been carted away to a morgue.
He had to be revived and is sedated in hospital in critical condition. His teammates and friends had no idea whether he would survive. They were kneeling and praying around him as he lay there non-responsive. Some were clearly in distress. Some were in tears.
You don’t continue a game under those conditions because it changes the dynamic of the team.
Would you expect to finish a work event if your friend and co-worker died or was being transported to a hospital in critical condition and you had no idea if he’d survive or not?
Perhaps if this was your kid, you’d feel differently.
Perhaps if this was your kid, you’d feel differently.”
Nah, I would want the game to go on.
I bet the “kid” would too.
Would you expect to finish a work event if your friend and co-worker died or was being transported to a hospital in critical condition and you had no idea if he’d survive or not?”
Yes.
Will Missouri execute the first “transgender woman” today?”
Interesting question.
Tom Fitton:
“The NFL pushed the covid vaccines on its players. When will the league investigate whether the “rare” myocarditis vaccine side-effect is impacting players–such as making them more susceptible to game-related severe heart injuries?”

@JakeSherman
BIG APPLAUSE as McCarthy lists all the concessions he made to the right and says that HFC members don’t care if they elect @RepJeffries
speaker.
He’s rallying the conference against the HFC”
Good.
The HFC idiots can have him or they can have Jeffries.
Make them choose.
Ma
That “Ma” wasn’t “Ma”.
So if your brother has a heart attack and is being rushed to the hospital and you’re not sure if he is gonna live or not, you will finish out your work event 1st?
Thank God the vast majority of people don’t think like you, including the fans I bet.
There’s more to life than just money.
Most of these players develop very close relationships, like family often, as they spend so much time together and are vested in teamsmanship, working and supporting one another. To think that a game is more important than the life of one of their friends and that they should be able to perform as usual under such life critical situations is absurd and just cold.
It’s just a game! It’s not a military operation where you expect to lose friends…and yes, people in team sports often develop close relations just as people who serve together in combat.
I think McCarthy will probably be an unbelievably weak Speaker and that’s why he didn’t get the job in September 2015. If he does get the job, the HFC morons will do everything they can to oust him starting as soon as he’s sworn into office. That said, who else can do the job? Scalise? Maybe, but he’s no dynamo and would probably see a lot of the more moderate members oppose him.
The mess House Republicans have gotten themselves into is the culmination of more than a decade of perverse incentives. Starting with 2010, the Tea Party members realized it was better for their own careers to blow things up as much as possible. Starting with the 2011 debt ceiling fiasco, they learned getting on Hannity was a better deal than actually legislating. This is all they know. Their playbook is just one page.
And by the way, what did prostrating himself to Trump actually gain McCarthy? Not much as far as I can tell. Trump’s endorsement, which McCarthy spent two years attempting to get, didn’t matter one iota to the 20 or so House Republicans who seem ready to vote against him.

Speaking to reporters, Gaetz says “there’s very little difference” between Pelosi and McCarthy.
– This from a guy, Gaetz, who likes to have sex with underage women.
Probably time to stop putting a microphone in front of his face.
“Matt Gaetz said ‘I don’t care if we go to plurality and we elect Hakeem Jeffries.’”
I’ve had enough of this clown. I would think the Panhandle can do MUCH better than him. Time for him to be primaried.
#33, Scalise is the only one I think who could POSSIBLY cobble up a consensus at this point. But it would require McCarthy to step aside and let him have it, and I don’t think he will.
This is a timely and interesting article on Covid variants arising and how the vax may be making them stronger and more virulent strains as they mutate from the original strains.
I learned in an Immunology class decades ago how strains that survive and outwit treatment can become stronger and more deadly than the original virus just like humans have adapted to external stimuli over millennia. It’s very Darwinian in terms of survival of the fittest and allows for the development of “super” strains.
It’s the same concept of antibiotic overuse. Science may be killing more people in the long run with the overuse of these vaccines, especially since 85% of original Covid deaths were in the very elderly with comorbidities and many of the remaining 15% were also people with high levels of comorbidities such as obesity.

The weakness in Wobbie’s argument is that he fails to realize you can’t force candidates on people because otherwise voters won’t vote for them.
Voters choose the candidates, like it or not. It’s how our system works in the US.
So the alternative to Wobbie’s argument is that Republicans don’t get elected because voters don’t align with the RINOS he wants as candidates.
So either way, the GOP loses elections using his logic so why is it worse to lose an election with a Tea Party vs RINO candidate?
#38, I don’t agree with Robbie’s comparison of the 2010-2011 Tea Party movement and the original Freedom Caucus and the rogue clown show movement going on right now.
Two entirely different scenarios. And a TON has happened since then, including, but not limited to, the Trump effect.

If it weren’t for the Tea Party or MAGA supporters, Dems would have had complete control of DC from 2008 and on, as well, as many state legislatures and gubbernorships too because the GWB presidency decimated the GOP party and it had to be rebuilt back.
That’s why Wobbie’s argument is so weak. Jeb had no chance against Hilary. Zero! Zilch! Nada! The country would be worse off today had Wobbie had his way in choice of candidates.
Elections are won on turnout, absent fraud and election interference.
Some you win. Some you don’t.

Major goal post moving alert.
Happy New Year, all.
Looks like HHR is coming to a close. Good for you, Dave. Thank you for all you have done over the years.
Cow is far from woke.
Cow is actually anti-woke.
Cow agrees that the game should have been suspended.
#############################################
Cow is appalled by comments from jason about the Bills football player and the suspending of the game being the wrong thing to do.
jason, I figure you won’t–because your MO has morphed into being a big attacker of everyone and everything–, but you should retract (or at least rethink) your earlier statements about cancelling the game due to what happened to the Bills player.
That is all I have to say on it.
On day 1 of the new Congress, Republicans, mostly the HFC idiots, have decided to show they aren’t capable of governing.
But this is what the Tea Party, the HFC, and MAGA candidates have always wanted. They never went to DC to govern. They went to DC to blow things up.
Thankfully, voters have short memories, but this is an embarrassment.

– Different scenarios? Yes. That wasn’t my point, though.
My point is this weird effort blow up things on day 1 is the logical end point for the various rebels who made their way to DC in 2010.
The rebel rousers, who came to DC to make sure nothing got done and would gladly shut the entire government down for two years, finally realized the best way to avoid the losses they absorbed on the debt ceiling, defunding Obamacare, and various spending bills was to simply prevent all of that from happening by preventing the legislative process to ever start.
This is populism at its core. In the 1960’s and 1970’s, the populists were in the Democrat party. They were the PUMAs. They were the ones who said only the primary elections mattered. They were the ones who stymied unified control for Democrats despite large majorities.
Now, the populists inhabit the Republican Party. And because an entire network is there to promote their worst ideas, the populists do these things because they realize cable news celebrity is far more preferable to actually getting into the nitty gritty of legislating and governing.
Why govern when you can be a star of FoxNews primetime. We began to see this when the Tea Party class arrived in 2010 and now we’re seeing the strategy in full bloom.
Just do a GoFundMe for Dave so he can continue to have the website.
“Just do a GoFundMe for Dave so he can continue to have the website”
I would be supportive of this. I don’t post here NEARLY as much as I used to, but I would hate to see this web site go! Hope Dave is able to still keep it going in some capacity.

zzzzzz…. Trump supporter is going to be elected Speaker
Poor Amoral Scumbag.
So sad that the Republican Party IS a populist party now and the white suburban elites no longer can pick the candidates.
If the R party wants to survive, it better remain a populist party.
DeSantis patently is running for President.
His Inaugural Address in 15 minutes,extolling his Florida achievements,blistered the left and Biden,without mentioning his name,more cogently and in a philosophical comparative way than any GOP leader has in hour long speeches.
After the Legislative session,and it giving him a waiver,he’s all in for 2024.
PS when one of your teammates is in a life and death situation on the field,you don’t play the game. Period.
The Cincy coach took the lead,and kudos to him
Now, the populists inhabit the Republican Party”
Ah yes, those horrible working class folks and minorities.
Horrors.
I have news for Amoral Scumbag, they aren’t going anywhere and if they do Rs aren’t winning many elections, certainly not for President.
Neville Allen still here?
The average IQ meter took a horrible hit.
“If the Republican Party wants to survive, it better remain a populist party”
Bingo.
Phil – How is your wife doing? How are you and your family?
I am good with a GoFundme for HHR.
They should draft Trump for Speaker.
It will stir things up and Amoral Scumbag will forever go into exile in Bogo Pogo.
Win-win.
We’re hanging in there, bitter, one day at a time. Getting weaker as the process continues. Barely eating and now sleeps most of the time. We are very fortunate that there is no pain. Hospice has been wonderful thus far.
I hope Dave does not close HHR down.
Over the years, I have learned much from the many various posters. Learned lots about how to fisk polls. Learn lots from reports on the ground from various posters like Wes concerning his state and beyond. Some posters I disagree with and some who I agree with.
But in the last couple years, HHR has sadly become an internal vicious battleground and circular firing squad between some posters who enjoy personal attacks and inventing falsehoods about others and attack the other posters for the invented falsehoods.
And the number of posts that personally attack and falsely vilify Dave, our host, have sadly increased.
That is all I have to say on it.
Can’t we all just drink milk, eat hay and get along?
Like Amerika today, HHR’s best days are behind it. Only a handful of regular posters left.
Peeps need to learn when to let go.
HHR had a good long run so maybe its time to move on if Dave no longer wishes to commit to this endeavor.
You’ll all be welcome to post at my site TTR – The Tofu Report, a site that will focus on politics, ABORTION, and tasty tofu dishes.
I don’t think that keeping HHR open is about money.
It’s been around a long time. When I first saw it in or around 2010 it was a pretty robust online community. There were fights and some very not nice people, but the commentary was pretty good. The fact that it is down to a mere handful of people and an even smaller group making 90% of the posts is probably indicative of the number of eyes on the site. Face it a website is about eyes.
The GOP has changed since 2004. I never got the idea that Mr. Wising was on board with a lot of the changes. His views likely have more in common with Robbies, a belief in a GOP that governs and a benign Federal Government. Those days are gone.
Perhaps he has simply tired of politics and would like to get on with his life. He has a family. Or he simply outgrew this.
At any rate, Mr. Wissing, thank you for providing a place for many of us to come, free of charge and pretty much say what we wanted without being censored. And best of luck in the future.

Got back home from WI at 3 a.m.
Walt slept in.
Breakfast, unpack, start laundry, trying to finish his first cup of coffee.
Mrs. Walt decides to fool with one of the sink drains in master bath (Can I still say ‘master’ bath?).
Things come apart and Walt spends an hour doing plumbing work on both sinks.
He is still trying to finish his first cup of coffee.
Then off to take some suitcases and other containers to a guy he knows who is getting evicted and has to move by Saturday.
But he is buoyed by the fact he will be getting an 8.7% increase in his Soc. Sec. check starting in January–even though the PSC just approved a 5+% increase in electric bills.
I told him he will still have over 3% increase according to “Cow Math”
(8.7% SS incr. minus 5+% for electric bill).
But he said Cow did not factor in the increase of cigars from 89 cents to now 99 cents.

Speaking of “Zs”…
…reminds me that Cow has to do more to help the Ukes defeat the Russian Orks.
That is one of my New Years resolutions.
And to limit my use of GFYs.
There have always been a level of vicious personal routine attacks at HHR including racial, religious and homophobic bias and remarks by some posters – think MD, Author, etc. But those posters are gone.
I believe HHR has become a site of Grumpy Old Bickering Men set in their ways that will argue to their death rather than compromise…and why should they? HHR is an escape from daily reality where you can freely express such feelings anonymously without causing harm to your family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, job, etc.
How many can go home or to work and have the same level of discussion? My gut feeling is most can’t because their inner circle is not interested.
The Grumpy Old Bickering Men here include posters of various views and beliefs, not just some as Cash opined, in his EXTREMELY BIASED SELECTIVE commentary.
Cash sounds very Obama-ish to claim “politics of destruction and attacks” is the issue but then go on to attack others after stating that. Cash has his favs and alliances, as others do. Nothing wrong with that. There are posters here, I ignore and don’t bother to read, as I expect they do of my posts as well, even though they do it at their loss of some tasty tofu recipes.
I have always accepted HHR for what it is, a forum to share and exchange views on a variety of topics and have some fun in the process…but in no way should it be important in the grand scale of everyday life and one should not dwell on what others post here.
If Dave can no longer commit to it, maybe it’s time to find other forums or outlets to share views passionately. Like I said before, HHR only has a handful of regular posters now so it’s lost its allure from years past.
And the number of posts that personally attack and falsely vilify Dave, our host, have sadly increased.”
I do agree with that.
I have always said it is his blog and those unhappy with the polls he posts and the comments he makes are free to go somewhere else or GFTs.
Like I said before, HHR only has a handful of regular posters now so it’s lost its allure from years past.”
Feel free to leave anytime.
It doesn’t look this way right now, but this stunt may well be the beginning of the end of the importance of the Tea Party/HFC/MAGA. They won’t go away, obviously, but this finally makes clear they aren’t interested in governing, conservatism, or anything else. They’re interested in themselves, praise from FoxNews primaetime hosts, and chaos for the sake of chaos.
If we go back to the 2014 election and early 2015, the Tea Party wing was losing altitude. Their candidates got blasted in the 2014 Senate primaries and Ted Cruz’s moronic government shutdown was seen as folly. Then Trump came along.
Trump, to be sure, reinvigorated a movement that was losing steam. He capitalized on their energy and used their 30% of the party to power him all the way through the 2016 primaries. He didn’t get over 50% until he got to Indiana.
Now though, Trump is fading with every day that passes and the movement he reinvigorated is left without a leader capable of rallying anyone other than the committed. Trump is still yelling about how he ackshully won in 2020 and the rebels are basically rebelling just to rebel.
Once the 2024 primary gets under way and the party, at least as it seems now, moves away from Trump, the party will get a new leader and the House members will move in that person’s direction.

Thanks to Ducey and Brnovich the spineless turds.
There were times I would not post at HHR for months but now I find I post more because I have more free time, and my sleeping patterns have changed dramatically over the years. I rarely sleep more than 4 hours without getting up for a bit so I reach for my iPad next to my bed to read and post more.
I don’t mind change so if it’s time to move on so be it. Life is full of change and people coming and going in your life. That’s why I have little to no regrets. Learned a lot and met many interesting characters, good and bad.

Time for Trump as Speaker.
Pretty good speech by the Golden Calf. No TDS drivel and no country club R horse crap.
“Many of these cities and states have embraced faddish ideology at the expense of enduring principles.
They have harmed public safety by coddling criminals and attacking law enforcement.
They have imposed unreasonable burdens on taxpayers to finance unfathomable levels of public spending.
They have harmed education by subordinating the interests of students and parents to partisan interest groups.
They have imposed medical authoritarianism in the guise of pandemic mandates and restrictions that lack a scientific basis.
This bizarre, but prevalent, ideology that permeates these policy measures purports to act in the name of justice for the marginalized, but it frowns upon American institutions, it rejects merit and achievement, and it advocates identity essentialism.
We reject this woke ideology.
We seek normalcy, not philosophical lunacy!
We will not allow reality, facts, and truth to become optional.
We will never surrender to the woke mob.
Florida is where woke goes to die!
Now Florida’s success has been made more difficult by the floundering federal establishment in Washington, D.C.
The federal government has gone on an inflationary spending binge that has left our nation weaker and our citizens poorer, it has enacted pandemic restrictions and mandates – based more on ideology and politics than on sound science – and this has eroded freedom and stunted commerce.
It has recklessly facilitated open borders: making a mockery of the rule of law, allowing massive amounts of narcotics to infest our states, importing criminal aliens, and green lighting the flow of millions of illegal aliens into our country, burdening communities and taxpayers throughout the land.
It has imposed an energy policy that has crippled our nation’s domestic production, causing energy to cost more for our citizens and eroding our nation’s energy security, and, in the process, our national security.
It wields its authority through a sprawling, unaccountable and out-of-touch bureaucracy that does not act on behalf of us, but instead looms over us and imposes its will upon us.
The results of this have been predictably dismal.
This has caused many to be pessimistic about the country’s future. Some say that failure is inevitable.
Florida is proof positive that We the People are not destined for failure.
Decline is a choice. Success is attainable. And freedom is worth fighting for.”
If the Golden Calf really runs on these points and a big GOP tent, he can win. It is essentially a populist campaign.
Unfortunately, I am not sure he will be able to resist the ‘advice” of the elitists that control the GOP.
Breaking news on Fox Business News….
Hedgehog Report has sold to Philly A-Holes, LLC. The Philly A-Holes is owned by two primary investors: a Gary Maxwell and someone identified as M-Def. The sale price was four cents.
This news was first reported by Polaris, who phoned it in from 30,000 feet.
One reason McCarthy hasn’t been able to win this vote is, frankly, because he’s a dud.
On the other hand, what we’re seeing now from the 19 rebels is what we’ve seen for the better part of a decade. They have no strategy. They never have and they never will. They just want to cause problems and increase their facetime on FoxNews.
Floreedah is NOT where wokeness comes to die! You can say that of the vast majority of GOP states.
We have lotsa wokeness here, more so than many other GOP states. We’re just lucky we have a GOP majority legislature to keep it from spreading further throughout the entire state.
If it were not for the GOP dominance legislature, Floreedah would be at risk of spreading wokeism in everyday life.
LOL… but I admire the chutzpah…
During the 2021 Virginia gubernatorial campaign, Republican Glenn Youngkin, who ultimately emerged victorious, made it a major campaign promise to get rid of the grocery tax. On Sunday, January 1, the elimination of such a tax went into effect, but it was Virginia Democrats who stunningly took credit for the move in a tweet from that day which didn’t even mention Gov. Youngkin, or any Republican.

? If your weekly grocery bill feels lighter this year, that’s because it is.
Democrats ended the 1.5% state sales tax on groceries — and that starts today.

Yeah, not like Amoral Scumbag’s heroes like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzenger, who want to cause problems to increase their facetime on MSNBc.
Floreedah is NOT where wokeness comes to die!”
Doesn’t matter. It is a good line.
Looks like STOOPID FOX sports commentator NOW apologizes after calling for the game to go on after Hamlin’s heart attack whining about how late it is in the season and the impact it could have.
He was overwhelmingly skewered on the internet, and was specifically being called out by NFL players.
Today he tries to make it all about him, whining:
”I’m still shook up what happened last night to Damar Hamlin. In fact, I’m still wrecked. In fact, I’m not sure I’m capable of doing this show today.”
Yeah! Sure you are but you weren’t last night when you tweeted your asinine post.
The EXPERT gets it right again!
It’s only a f*ckin’ game! The guy is in critical condition in the hospital and sedated because his heart stopped and he is having trouble breathing, hence, why they’re keeping him sedated under controlled breathing.
Way to go MORON!

The problem with that line is it goes to define him as the anti-woke candidate.
So his campaign is going to be defined by cultural politics while most are worried about kitchen table issues.
Again, DeSanctimonius’ major accomplishment is The Don’t Say Gay and anti-Disney Bills but most people outside Floreedah don’t care about those.
The GOP can’t win the WH running on anti-wokeness alone. He will pigeon-hole himself if that is going to be his slogan.
Looks like Jim Jordan is gaining support.
I am fine with McCarthy. He cannot be any worse than Biden’s Beotch aka the sabateur.

I think the game should have gone on. I don’t care what “social media” thinks. NFL players are paid to play football. Sometimes they get injured. The game goes on. There is no “disrespect” in that.
The NFL is woke bunch of self entitled wusses.
It wasn’t an injury! He had a heart attack on national TV in front of millions. He nearly died on the field. His heart stopped! They had to restart his heart with a defibrillator. He had to be intubated to breathe. He is in critical condition. He is sedated until his breathing returns to normal.
If you don’t think that does great psychological damage to the team and his friends at that time, then I think you’re out of touch with moral values and decency. His teammates were in stress from the pictures and reported. They were praying and crying.
To expect his friends and teammates to get back to playing not knowing if he would live or die is callous.
It’s a f*ckin’ game! His life is more important than a game, as evidenced by numerous posts from other NFL players. It is the respectful thing to do.
As evidenced by the outpouring of sympathy and people donating $3 million to his charity within hours that previously had a $2,500 goal shows how greatly this impacted people.
I agree on wokeness in the NFL but that has nothing to do with the issue here.
You are letting your disdain for wokeness cloud your judgment on compassion and common decency.

Dan Crenshaw Declares McCarthy GOP Hold-Outs “NARCISSISTS” and His “ENEMIES” (VIDEO)
The Republicans are showing themselves incapable of working together and governing. Meanwhile, the first Republican presidential primary is only about a year away.
“Third ballot for House speaker:
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries: 212
Rep. Kevin McCarthy: 202
Rep. Jim Jordan: 20
Other: 0
No one has received a majority so the vote will move to a fourth ballot.”
“But the third vote saw an uptick in the number of McCarthy detractors, with Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) flipping to support Jordan after he voted for McCarthy on the first two ballots.
“My concern has been, like, look. It’s been two months, bro. You got to close the deal,” Donalds said, referring to the time between the midterm elections and the start of the Congress. “You got two months. And so at this point now is that if you can’t close it, we got to find who can.”
The continued McCarthy opposition has frustrated his supporters and allies who have pledged to not waver in their support. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) cast her votes for McCarthy as “Only Kevin.””
He just can’t deal with the fact all of the people he thought were fighting for him turned out to be hucksters solely concerned with Twitter clout and appearances on Hannity’s show. Sad!”
Heh, this is the guy who fawned and had orgasms every time he saw Michael Avenatti on the MSM.
I am with Crenshaw on this.
The hold outs ARE publicity seeking grandstanding narcissists.
All they are doing is helping the Democrats and allowing the MSM to (rightfully) label Rs as unfit to govern and in total disarray.
McCarthy is the pick of 202 of the 222 Republicans.
Make the holdouts choose between him and Jeffries. Call their bluff.
Former President Trump on Tuesday “declined to say whether he will stick by House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) as his bid to become Speaker appeared to hit a wall.
“We’ll see what happens,” Trump told NBC News in a phone conversation when asked if he stands by his endorsement of McCarthy.”
Byron Donald’s is my Congressman and an articulate conservative guy. He’s not a bomb thrower.
If he bails on McCarthy
thats not good news. The problem is,who’s the alternative??
This kind of shows the real schism in the Party,and explains in part our poor performance in November.
Push come to shove the Democrats stand together against the GOP; we don’t return the favor.
All the useless idiots are upset, including Karl Rove, crimgeshaw, etc.
Next time perhaps do t praise loon Cheney and cut deals with drats
There appear to be too many personality disputes involving McCarthy and other Republican House members. If Scalise could be a unity candidate, then they should make him Speaker. McCarthy I believe could still remain as majority leader. However if it is 12-20 far right members wanting to control the agenda; then the Republicans are heading into the abyss.
@benshapiro
McCarthy’s job as speaker and the job of the GOP is to say “no.” That’s it, since Dems control the Senate and the White House. What is the actual policy advanced by stalling him here, other than to hand Dems a PR win by depicting the House GOP as a clown show?

-Pretty sure this is the point…..20 people don’t think McCarthy will just say “NO”, and the 200+ will be fine with that, once the next “crisis” hits.
Also, for those who keep accusing the “flamethrowers” of not wanting to govern, I think you are very wrong, and that is why the squishes on the GOP Congress won’t give up their power. They are afraid that the HFC crazies will look to go back to 1st principles, which will make their job harder. They would actually have to be able to communicate how thess uncontrolled spending binges by the federal government is the reason why our economy is faltering.
I would also point out – other than Newt for a couple of years and right at the beginning of the Tea Party Congress, we have not had a real fiscally-prudent Republican House. Most of the current crop of legislators have been in the mix the last 20-30 years while this budget ballooned out of control.
As for “Cringeshaw”, I heard him on the radio this morning, and that name is fitting.
What an arse! Chip Roy and the others may also be arses as well, but man o man, Cringeshaw is a jack*ss.
One other point – if McConnell and the Senate had just waited for the new Congress to be seated, we probably could have avoided this fight.
Oh, and did McConnell really Biden in Kentucky to tout the latest Omnibus bill?
Sickening if true.
One more point – CDM – good statement above on Wissing and the life of HHR.

Yep, these morons should just elect Jeffries speaker and stop pretending that they are anything else than lowlife grandstanders and opportunists.

Call their bluff.
After a miserable Midterm election for the Republicans, the last thing they need is this clown show.
This would be an opportune moment forTrump to take a leadership role and broker some sort of compromise.
I think in the end it will be McCarthy anyway because there is no plan B.
The Dem Trojan Horses (aka HFC idiots) can obstruct but they can’t elect anyone.
However, now McCarthy will be weakened, the GOP caucus will be rightly defined as a clown show, and there will be nothing to show for it.
The Dem Trojan Horse grandstanders can be proud, as usual they do nothing for conservatism and just empower Dems.
“This kind of shows the real schism in the Party,and explains in part our poor performance in November.

Hey, the TDS morons want a GOP civil war and they think crapping on the working class is a viable political strategy.
The tiny HFC idiots who comprise less than 10% of the caucus want to dictate to the 90% or they will burn the party down. Gaetz says he prefers a Dem speaker to McCarthy.
The GOP doesn’t deserve power. It should disband now and let the US become a one party state.
“This would be an opportune moment forTrump to take a leadership role and broker some sort of compromise.”
You got your wish, kinda..
WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump issued a full-throated endorsement of House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy Wednesday morning, hours before Republicans planned to return to the floor to try again to elect a speaker.
The fighting and chaos that’s taking place among House Republicans is the very thing that should’ve happened after the 2020 election. Frankly, it’s pretty normal for a party that loses to fight about what it believes.
Unfortunately, conman Donnie prevented the normal reckoning process from happening when he began lying about the outcome of the 2020 election. So instead of heading into the 2022 election with unified leadership and an agreed upon list of objectives, the party headed into 2022 still fighting the lie the 2020 election was stolen and it failed miserably.
The party is two years behind. This is messy, but pretty normal. However, it needs to be settled soon so the party can turn its focus to the 2024 primary. If the party is still looking back to 2020 during the 2024 primary, then it’s really bad news.
It makes me smile ear to ear Jason fraud suddenly thinks he’s the defender of the working-class populists.
Of course, he already said the party should jettison the suburbs (where the vast majority of voters live) and trade it in for the rural areas where no one lives.
But that’s Trumpism is a nutshell. A massive group of contradictions and idiocy that have no basis in reality.
Donald Trump Jr.
@DonaldJTrumpJr
We all want House leadership to be as conservative as possible, but I’m not okay with throwing House Leadership to Dems & Never Trumpers. Being fine with Hakeem Jeffries becoming Speaker simply out of spite for McCarthy isn’t what any Republican voted for in November.
Of course, he already said the party should jettison the suburbs (where the vast majority of voters live) and trade it in for the rural areas where no one lives.”
I never said that.
Go back to watching Michael Avenatti interviews and GFY.
“If the party is still looking back to 2020 during the 2024 primary, then it’s really bad news.”
This from the guy who thinks the R party is the same it was decades ago.
Jason I am curious what you did to make concerned troll obsessed with you? How did you achieve that type of recognition?
It makes me smile ear to ear Jason fraud suddenly thinks he’s the defender of the working-class populists.”
“and trade it in for the rural areas where no one lives.”
Which is it?
Rural areas already vote Republican, no trades needed.
The GOP needs to be a big tent populist party representing workers of all races in all areas, including suburbs, exurbs and even urban areas, small business owners, and minorities tired of being taken for granted.
Your tiny tent party coalition of elite white suburban votes and rural voters can no longer win general elections, that party is dead and gone.
The GOP base is now populist, like it or not. I don’t even agree with a lot of populist ideas like isolationism and protectionism, but it is not my party.
Jason I am curious what you did to make concerned troll obsessed with you?”
I was one of the first to out him as despicable low life lying POS with 1/100th of the integrity of Donald Trump, so that probably triggered him.
He has been here for 15 years with the same tired old BS of supporting Rs not on the ballot and shilling for Dems on the ballot. Now the game is up and everybody here understands it. I doubt there is one person on this site who is not a troll that doesn’t know he is a lying scumbag.
Now he pretends to support the Golden Calf, but we already know he considers him a “total bum, Trump clone and clown” (direct quote). In 2024 he will do what he always does, attack the R nominee and vote for the Dem.
Bet on it.

Sheeple – The PA Speaker was expected to be a Democrat woman from Philadelphia. I am not sure why she was chosen.
Mastriano was a disaster as a candidate and it hurt down ballot. Shapiro will be as bad or worse than Wolf but, according to his ads, he eats dinner with his family.
“Republican stalwart Rep. Mike Garcia (R-Calif.) pulled no punches Tuesday on Newsmax as he weighed in on the tumultuous House Speaker fight. “I voted in support of Kevin McCarthy,” said Garcia. “I think he’s earned it. I think he’s been working his tail off the last several years to get us here.” While that may be so, in the wake of triple failed votes, Garcia lamented that “Day One of being in the majority feels an awful lot like being in the minority. It’s very frustrating.” Frustrating is an understatement. Is this the type of GOP leadership Americans voted for in November?
One wonders if, with at least nineteen House members still holding out, the GOP can expect anything positive to come from these failed votes. “We frankly, just have to make it rain longer than these nineteen folks can tread water,” Garcia said. While it would be preferable if McCarthy would, you know, lead them to his side, should we really have to resort to hoping a candidate can outlast the holdouts? Shouldn’t a candidate be strong enough to ultimately win on leadership alone? At the end of all this infighting, Garcia says Americans want a resolution, not a “quagmire,” and he expects the nineteen holdouts “to do what’s right for the country” not what’s right for them personally. “And more importantly,” said Garcia, the GOP base wants “to see us conduct the oversight in the legislation that we’ve promised this beautiful nation we would conduct.”
Garcia revealed that since Nov. 8, 2022, GOP House members held fourteen meetings with the holdouts. “Kevin McCarthy has made twenty-two concessions on the rules package — things that frankly I wouldn’t have signed up to myself,” said Garcia. McCarthy conceded a motion to vacate the speakership with a simple five-member vote, which Garcia described as “effectively like dumping fuel on yourself and then handing out 435 matches.” Twenty-two concessions with his own party. At what point does concession become surrender?”
Call their bluff. McCarthy or Jeffries.

@kirk_bado
Pre-Trump’s endorsement, McCarthy received 202 votes.
Post-Trump’s endorsement, McCarthy received 201 votes.
– Sad!
Ok. Time for The EXPERT to weigh in on the Speaker debacle.
I don’t agree in grandstanding and holding the process hostage unless these people vehemently feel that McCarthy is not the right person and can’t be trusted, and doesn’t walk the talk and won’t keep his word.
So if they really believe all that and it’s really a vote of conscious, then I support them in that right for not just settling. The Founding Fathers had tough, vociferous, impassioned and vicious unrelenting fights that helped shape the nation in its early days so maybe we need more of that then just going with the status quo if we want real change.
I personally do not trust the GOP McLeadership on many issues. McConnell particularly, but let’s not forget, for those of us who heard the recordings, McCarthy was all too willing to take the easy route and throw Trump to the wolves after Jan 6th as well, and then later on reversed course after many rallied around Trump so I don’t have great faith he is the leader the GOP needs or is willing to stand up and fight the fight. He can be very Romneyesque at times and failed at managing Liz Cheney so maybe he’s not the guy for the job.
So I say let the process play out and see where it goes, even if it does not end well. Maybe the GOP needs to burn down its house and start over if it really wants to represent the core values conservatives are seeking. This is about long-term vision and not short-term gains.
Pre-Trump’s endorsement, McCarthy received 202 votes.
Post-Trump’s endorsement, McCarthy received 201 votes.”

McCarthy already had Trump’s endorsement, that is why he has 90% of the R caucus.

I agree. If the GOP House is not willing to do investigations of FBI and DOJ, then it doesn’t matter who is in charge of the House, Dems or GOP.
It’s just business as usual.
jason bringing up the working class in regards to being angry at the 20 “flamethrowers”…..what evidence is there that “working class” voters would be mad at the 20 as opposed to the 200?
What have the 200, along with Democrats, gotten this country? Omnibus after omnibus, “crisis” after “crisis”, corrupt FBI, CIA and other government officials getting off with slaps on the wrist, trillion$ in debt etc etc etc.
If it takes a little bit longer to sort this out, so be it.
If McCarthy wants to be Speaker, let him put one of these renegades into the chairmanship of each committee and he can be the Speaker. Very simple.
Of course, those voting FOR McCarthy may then find they don’t like him very much…..
And as I said yesterday, all McConnell had to do was table any legislation until the new Congress was seated, and McCarthy probably would have been elected Speaker already.
This is a direct result of McConnells “leadership” in the Senate, where he could have stopped all of that omnibus with 41 votes.
#155 – why would people like jason, Robbie etc be upset with getting more conservative members as committee chairs?
What are they scared of – actually making a Democrat have to sweat under oath?
Heh,my Congressman was nominated for Speaker by the Freedom Caucus!
He’s a very effective Speaker and a forceful guy and quite conservative.
In Lee County here he got 69% of the vote,as opposed to even DeSantis ” only” getting 68.5%. That’s saying something.
At this point McCarthy has to consider withdrawing,as if he makes any more concessions he’d be neutered at the start anyway.
But the GOP HAS to soon get somebody who can get 218 votes.
Yup, Biden’s Beotch hurt McCarthy with the unnecessary budget action.
A cr would have been fine.
#155 – why would people like jason, Robbie etc be upset with getting more conservative members as committee chairs?”‘
I don’t speak for Amoral Scumbag, who was happy with Nancy Pelosi.
My reasons are that 90% of the caucus should decide, not 10%.
If the HFC morons want to rule, they should elect 200 members.
The tail (or the a-holes) do not wag the dog.
As for making Republicans look like a clown show, that is too funny!
The nation is trillion$ upon trillion$ in debt thanks to Washington D.C. “leadership” from both sides of the aisle. Of course Democrats are worse, but as McConnell showed us in December, the Republicans will gladly play along to pad their bank accounts instead of making tough decisions.
Which is the longer lasting clown show – a week of votes for Speaker, or the mounting debt crisis we will have to deal with soon enough?
The Roman, Greek, Egyptian, British and every other past global empire are sitting on the sidelines saying “What can’t go on forever won’t. If you don’t learn the lessons we can teach you, you are doomed.”
BUT, waiting a day, or a week or a month for a Speaker is calamitous! Grow a pair, will you please.
jason bringing up the working class in regards to being angry at the 20 “flamethrowers”…..what evidence is there that “working class” voters would be mad at the 20 as opposed to the 200?”
None.
The 200 represent me a lot more than the 20.
We all have to make our choices and live with them.
“My reasons are that 90% of the caucus should decide, not 10%.”
-Makes sense.
Easy solution.
The 20 get to name the committee heads, then they vote for McCarthy for Speaker.
I am sure the 200 will respect their leaders decision.
“The 200 represent me a lot more than the 20.”
-Runaway debt. No issue with open borders. Wokeism being implemented across every government department without obstacles. Corrupt FBI, CIA and other government officials walking away from their jobs with pensions benefits and everything else despite their illegal behavior.
Ok, jason is telling the truth in that comment.
Nah, you are making up my “truth”.
People like you who think we are winning are the ones that brought on open borders, don’t whine now. I called it exactly as it would happen. Immigration deadenders own the border crisis.
Nobody is more against wokeism than I am.
And irresponsibly pretending the FBI has no role in crime prevention is something only you and your HFC fellow morons believe.
The HFC morons are just handing more power to the Dems. They are the only ones benefiting from the clown show.
Enjoy it.
Still thinking about that young man having a heart attack on the field the other night. I keep leaning to the game should have continued, but have no reason to be as flippant about it as jason was.
Several personal experiences –
1) we have had an older gentleman, a wonderful person and great worker, die while unloading a container of goods for us. He was about 70 years old, a recovering (20 years) alcoholic, and a guy who would consistently outwork fellow workers who were 40-50 years younger than he was. Ambulance came, worked on him and took him away (I went to hospital with him), container was unloaded after a short break for lunch and to relax a bit. Not sure what else we could have been done.
2) I was helping make a delivery to the New York Stock Exchange way back in mid 80’s. We had to stand down for 20 minutes or so as EMS came in to tend to a trader who collapsed (declared DOA at hospital, we found out) on floor. Trading never stopped. I have heard several stories from people about the same situation happening more than once during their careers.
As well as other examples through the years:
1) Several players have been paralyzed during the games, live, on TV. Game went on.
2) Their are thousands of people who are employed by the NFL – what happens to their pay with this delay?
3) Professional football is, by its very nature, a violent game. Honestly, I am surprised it took so long for something like this to happen. Am I the only one not shocked by what happened?
All that said, my heart (no joke intended) goes out to that young man and his family, I wish him a complete recovery in the days to come. Hopefully, the professionals on hand at all NFL games were able to get to him in time to minimize any damage to him. We shall see.
Chip Roy:
“Roy also said that that he is NOT a hard-no on McCarthy. While he said that the “clown show” GOP conference meeting yesterday “hardened opposition” to McCarthy, he added that they are “trying to repair that damage today, and progress has been made.”
but have no reason to be as flippant about it as jason was.”

Chris Cioffi
@ReporterCioffi
McCarthy critic Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) said he wanted McCarthy to devise a debt-limit deal suitable to fiscal conservatives.
“Is he willing to shut the government down rather than raise the debt ceiling? That’s a non-negotiable item.”
– SEND A MESSAGE!
I think Kevin McCarthy is pretty awful. I’ve long said he shouldn’t be Speaker and continue to feel that way.
If the opposition could actually put forward a credible alternative, the votes would go to that person pretty quickly.
Tom Cole would certainly be an interesting choice. However, it seems McCarthy is willing to endure loss after loss under the belief he’ll find a deal that’s suitable to the rebels.
The problem is the rebels, who have always been intent on burning the place down, are more than willing and, frankly, happy to burn the place down.
I said later when I found that it was the coach who pulled the players off the field, that I sympathized with the idea that the team could not continue the game playing at its full potential.
However, I still think it is not the coach’s decision to make, and the game should have continued anyway. I stated I disagree that would have been disrespectful, I think it was more disrespectful to the people who were at the game.
Flippant my ass.
“Credible alternative”
LOL
Nobody a Dem troll like Amoral Scumbag wants to be speaker will be elected.
You read it here first.
If it is not McCarthy it most likely will be Scalise, who I think is more conservative than McCarthy.
I can live with Scalise.
Cole would be the first Native American speaker, very interesting, but he is not going to happen.
I can live with Stefanik too.
(if she lost some weight…)
Ok that was a joke.
I like Stefanik because like me she was once Never Trump but was smart enough to understand Trump was a good President who delivered for conservatives and how his voters are important to the party. She won her race in NY by 20 points.
She is conservative but not an HFC moron.
Credible alternatives:
Steve Scalise
Tom Cole
Mike Gallager
There are others, but those are the first three that come to mind.
McCarthy now the favorite again on Predictit.
Maybe sanity will prevail.
Another credible alternative would be Michael McCaul of Texas.
The next two years are going to be a nothingburger in terms legislation. The party needs a wise hand (a conservative one) who can keep things mostly on the tracks.
I don’t have any faith McCarthy can lead and, even if he eventually wins the vote, he’ll be facing a “vacate the chair” motion within weeks of winning.
Scalise is supporting McCarthy and is loyal to him.
He won’t run unless McCarthy gives up.
If McCarthy does give up, then I would prefer Stefanik.
She will kick ass AND trigger the TDS morons, win-win.
THe HFC idiots have nothing to fear from her.
Amoral Scumbag thinks he is a conservative and a Republican. Or at least he believes there might be someone here that would believe it.
Because if it is the former, there is no cure for that kind of delusion.
The smart move for the party would be to elect Mike Gallagher as Speaker. It won’t happen, but he would provide a fresh face and he checks all of the conservative policy boxes.
He’s a substantive national security guy and is good on TV. Again, it won’t happen, but it would be smart if they’re looking towards the next five to ten years rather than the next few months.

– Oh, I definitely am and I always have been.
It just looks odd to you because you have no political moorings. You just become whatever is fashionable at the time.
In the GWB years, you were a GWB guys. When McCain and Romney were the nominees, you thought they were awesome. When conman Donnie won, you became a mouth breathing populist.
McCaul is a strong defender of aid to Ukraine and has stated the aid “destroying the Russian military” is a “pretty good investment”. He is the “point man” of the House Rs on Ukraine.
But he is not going to be Speaker.
When McCain and Romney were the nominees, you thought they were awesome”
They were certainly awesome compared to the guy you are still pining for, Jeb!
At least they were nominees, how did Jeb do? Did he spend 250 million for 4 delegates?
I still defend GWB as a good President. No, I was not a big McCain fan ever, I didn’t support him n the primary and while I think he was a fine patriot I had plenty of disagreements with him. As for Romney, he was the best the Rs could field in 2012, much better than the guy you voted for and celebrated his win.
I am not a populist. I think the R party base is now populist and the R party has to embrace it to survive, which is different.
GFY. You have the integrity of a floating turd and you were NEVER a R or a conservative, 15 years trolling and shilling for Dems proves it.
Go back to your Michael Avenatti interviews on CNN you play over and over and dream about.
The GOP is NEVER going back to what Amoral Scumbag pretends he wants.
And that is a good thing.
I sure as heck know I am not a Commie loving Putin supporter. But Jason has proved in recent posts he is a fascist at heart.

It’s weak people like you that compromise the Constitution that are the most dangerous to our country.
Trump has zero sway in the matter of House Speaker. Another sign he is losing influence.
You would think by now so called conservatives would get a clue that when the Uniparty and MSM are aligned they have an agenda that is not based on our best interest.
As a country we must hold up our values and Constitutional foundations toward other nations and their leaders. Canada has got a free pass with the tyrants like Trudeau.
Excuses and supports his fascist leader removing freedom of the press—-check”
The sniveling little Putin loving sycophant actually thinks Putin has freedom of the press.

BS. McCarthy wouldn’t even be in the running if he wasn’t supported by Trump.
But if a TDS moron gets elected Speaker I will admit you were right.

Funny. This from a guy who thinks voter fraud is ok as long as it is against someone he doesn’t like.

Actually, people like you make we want to vomit. You don’t believe in the Constitution. Fake conservatives like you think of it as some throwaway document you can just quote when it serves your purpose while trampling on it most of the time.
McCarthy has been waiting to be speaker since the days of Pence and Ryan.
Your lying about me again. Voter fraud has never been denied by me.
-Make a list of crimes being investigated”
Sure.
The FBI investigates:
– Organized crime
– Kidnapping
– Public corruption
– Counterfeiting
– White collar crime
– Embezzling
– Human trafficking
– Domestic and international terrorism
– Cyber crimes
– Narcotics trafficking
– Weapons trafficking
– Mass murders
– Wildlife smuggling
– Violent crimes
– Weapons of mass destruction
Maybe NYC can tell us which of these crimes he doesn’t think need to be investigated.
Fascists demonize people with opposing views—-check”
Putin little lapdog turd thinks Russia allows people with “opposing views”
“All privately owned independent TV channels are banned from broadcasting, except for cable entertainment channels. The Russian version of Euronews was suspended by Roskomnadzor, the media regulator, on 22 March 2022. Among the big print media outlets, which have belonged to Kremlin allies for a few years, those that had preserved their independence and were under constant threat of closure, like the independent tri-weekly Novaya Gazeta, have had to suspend their publications. Radio stations are in the same situation. Media outlets that have survived are faced with very strict self-censorship because of banned themes and words, and Western social networks are gradually being blocked.
No journalist is safe from the threat of serious charges under vaguely worded draconian laws that were often adopted in haste. Many laws relating to freedom of expression that had been adopted in recent years – including defamation and “fake news” laws – were amended in order to incorporate them into the Penal Code at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. The invasion of Ukraine gave a new impetus to this process, with parliament hastily adopting amendments under which “false information” about the Russian armed forces and any other Russian state body operating abroad is now punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
In recent years, in addition to heavy sentences and even torture suffered by some journalists, mainly at the regional level, the frequent use of fines and short-term detentions under various pretexts have been added to the arsenal of systematic intimidation against journalists. The media are also under threat of arbitrary inclusion on the list of “foregin agents”, a status that comes with heavy bureaucratic hurdles and legal risks. Faced with additional risks incurred since the state of the war in Ukraine, many journalists working for independent media outlets have chosen exile.”
Just to be clear…I was fine with military equipment and a couple billion to help Ukraine. Not over half their GDP. Why didn’t the US and other EU countries give the support needed earlier? What is China invades Taiwan? Do we support them with over half their GDP?
“Republicans” like cringeshaw make me happy I am no longer a Republican. I have not been since a 1,000 points of liberalism.
And yes, thank you for your military service.
Jason spin all you want and lie about me. I am comparing your positions of support to the US. I am NOT comparing or defending Russia. Are you really that dumb?

-Well said, Paula!
“What we’re witnessing now is the messy, glorious republican form of government our Founding Fathers laid out in the Constitution. Many Americans are tired of the uniparty that exuberantly passes pork-laden omnibus spending bills in the dead of night and plays by Marquess of Queensberry Rules as our country plunges toward insolvency, immorality, and anarchy.
While establishment Republicans like Kevin McCarthy and Ronna McDaniel would like to keep the party’s dirty laundry hidden, the American people deserve to know how the sausage is being made. We need to know what’s being promised to Republicans who vote for McCarthy. There are rumors that he may try to bring Democrats over to his side, and Marcy Kaptur of Ohio is reportedly trying to cut a deal with him, which only increases distrust within the caucus.”

“As the House entered their sixth vote for Speaker of the House on Wednesday, Rep.-elect Kat Cammack, R-Fla., accused her Democratic colleagues of bringing “popcorn and blankets and alcohol” to the House Chamber.”
They need to share the booze with the Republicans, it may help things along.
NEWT GINGRICH: “I think the Republican Party right now is in the greatest danger of meltdown that it’s been since 1964. I think that’s true in the Senate. It’s true in the presidential race. I thought McCarthy, frankly, who had won two consecutive elections… they gained seats in ‘20. They gained seats in ’22. He was the singularly most active, best fundraiser, biggest campaigner. I thought at least the House was going to be a sign of stability. And these five guys decided to go out as kamikazes and see if they can’t sink the whole Republican Party. And that’s what they’re doing. This is not about Kevin McCarthy. This is about the right of any five members to basically throw away the entire rest of the conference and tell the rest of the conference it doesn’t matter.”
There should always be an A-hole on duty”
Thanks. A-holes love to be recognized.
MTG and Robbie and jason and Trump all on same page for Speaker!”
Yeah, and 90% of the Rs elected to Congress.
We must be in good company.
I wonder if the members of the HFC realize that they are also members of the evil establishment.
“Sean Hannity of Fox News reportedly cautioned that delaying the nomination of a House Speaker is terrible for the Republican Party and the country.
“House Republicans now are on the verge of becoming a total clown show if they’re not careful,” Hannity warned during his Tuesday night show.
“If this fight goes on and on for day after day, week after week and the Republican agenda totally stalls out, you can forget about holding Biden accountable for pretty much anything. And the country will feel angry and frustrated and they will feel betrayed.” he continued later.”
Hey NYC, more people you can add to those that you despise.
“A group of 18 combat veterans who have served America in the various branches of the military, and who have extended their service to the nation as GOP members of the United States House of Representatives, mounted a press conference on Wednesday to speak out against the continued obstructionism to electing GOP Leader and Speaker nominee Kevin McCarthy as the Speaker of the House.
Representative-elect Mike Waltz led the group, which also consisted of: Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin, Mike Gallagher of Indiana, Corey Mills of Florida, Rich McCormick of Georgia, Mike Garcia of California, Dan Crenshaw of Texas, Mike Bost of Illinois, John James of Michigan, Scott Franklin of Florida, Trent Kelly of Mississippi, Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Iowa, and Brad Wenstrup of Ohio.”
Come on, call them RINOS and traitors.
I know you want to.
Oh Lord! Now Hannity.
Somehow, through all of Pelosi’s drunkenness, Bidens dementia, Schumers conniving, NEVER did their agenda stall.
This is all media driven noise. Once a Speaker is chosen, and I am sure it will be soon enough, the same power the majority party has then will be the same as it is right now, IF.. IF the eventual speaker has balls the same size as Pelosi.
There are rumors that he may try to bring Democrats over to his side, and Marcy Kaptur of Ohio is reportedly trying to cut a deal with him, which only increases distrust within the caucus.”
Distrust among the HFC idiots, you mean.
I think its a good idea.
Then he can renege on all the things he promised them, no deal.
The country will probably be better off for it.
Hannity is an “establishment RINO” now?
LOL
If I was McCarthy, I would tell the tiny HFC minority to f–k off.
Elect Jeffries if they want.
Or vote for him and STFU.
I wonder if the members of the HFC realize that they are also members of the evil establishment”
Nah, they think they are Prima Donnas.
They think the 90% of the caucus who aren’t grandstanding have to kiss their asses because THEY are right.
They are the same thing as the 10 Rs that voted to impeach Trump. THEY are right, everyone else is wrong.
I hope McCarthy stands firm.
I am sorry my representative is part of this shameful spectacle. My vote for him in November was the last one.
“Hey NYC, more people you can add to those that you despise.”
“Come on, call them RINOS and traitors.”
-Heh!
You know jason has ZERO argument when he starts saying I “despise” people and want to call them “traitors”!
Go play with Robbie, you pathetic fool.
I don’t have time to despise these cowards that are called “leaders” in Congress. I just point out how weak they are.
As for the word “traitors”, I can’t remember the last time I used that to characterize any politician…….although the Democratic Party definitely has some members I’ll keep an eye on.
“Hannity is an “establishment RINO” now?”
-Copy and paste please. Who called him that?
Hannity is a dim bulb, who is tiresome and not consistent in his arguments. A pretty face and good speaker, he knows where his talents lie. He is the last person I would choose to follow among any talk-radio or TV personality.
And I’ll repeat – if McConnell holds off on that omnibus bill for 2 weeks……THAT’S ALL, 2 WEEKS, this situation does not happen.
From that Paula Bolyard piece:
“McCarthy currently has 201 members on his side, which means he’s in the catbird’s seat. Among those 201 members, many have been promised plum committee assignments or other leadership roles, and they are not likely to risk his ire to support a weak minority candidate. At the end of the day, I think we’ll end up with McCarthy as speaker.”
-If this is so urgent for Republicans, give the chairmanship of each committee (or how about 1/2 of them?) to some of the 20 “renegades”, and let’s see how the 200 react.
If they go for it, we will have a real-life test to see which committee leaders do better work.
I have a small inkling that the 200 supporters will suddenly start dwindling if they don’t get everything they wanted……isn’t it odd how that works…….
One other thing – those service members are NOW Representatives.
I admire them for their service in the armed forces.
Their “service” as a Representative has ZERO to do with their prior military service.
Same goes for Democrats who had been in the military.
I would vote against people like Tammy Duckworth every day that ends in Y, and then a couple more.
“Some really good conversations took place last night, and it’s now time for all of our GREAT Republican House Members to VOTE FOR KEVIN, CLOSE THE DEAL, TAKE THE VICTORY, & WATCH CRAZY NANCY PELOSI FLY BACK HOME TO A VERY BROKEN CALIFORNIA,THE ONLY SPEAKER IN U.S. HISTORY TO HAVE LOST THE “HOUSE” TWICE! REPUBLICANS, DO NOT TURN A GREAT TRIUMPH INTO A GIANT & EMBARRASSING DEFEAT. IT’S TIME TO CELEBRATE, YOU DESERVE IT. Kevin McCarthy will do a good job, and maybe even a GREAT JOB – JUST WATCH!”
242. From Donald Trump.
Trump is a Uniter!
Even pawn Hannity is attacking other Rs. Ow.
I cannot take pawn Hannity serious.
Yaps 3 hours about nothing on the radio.
Loves open borders and war.
A Fox News con.

“-If this is so urgent for Republicans, give the chairmanship of each committee (or how about 1/2 of them?) to some of the 20 “renegades”, and let’s see how the 200 react.”
So a group of 20 dissenters should be be given 1/2 of the House Committee chairs, although they represent only about 10% of the House Republicans. Apparently majority rule is a bothersome nuisance when your a fanatic. Even Trump cannot talk sense into them.
What a way to begin the year for the Republicans, after last year’s disappointing elections. Meanwhile the Democrats are surprisingly united, and probably have visions of a strong Biden victory in 2024, and taking the House back. What a total cluster for the Republicans. Mitch McConnell appears to have made a wise move in getting the omnibus bill passed prior to the curtains rising on the clown show.
If this is so urgent for Republicans, give the chairmanship of each committee (or how about 1/2 of them?) to some of the 20 “renegades”, and let’s see how the 200 react.”
Why? Don’t give them s-it they aren’t entitled to. Aren’t they there to serve there country?

“AOC floats ‘coalition government’ after McCarthy fails to win House speaker vote
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggests unlikely resolution to Republican House speaker fight: McCarthy negotiating with Democrats.”
Mitch McConnell appears to have made a wise move in getting the omnibus bill passed prior to the curtains rising on the clown show.”
Yeah, maybe he saw the clusterf-ck and clown show coming.
Maybe he saw this tiny minority of grandstanders had no interest in actually governing.
Apparently majority rule is a bothersome nuisance when your a fanatic.”
Bingo.
nd I’ll repeat – if McConnell holds off on that omnibus bill for 2 weeks……THAT’S ALL, 2 WEEKS, this situation does not happen.”
Zzzzz……
This has NOTHING to do with McConnell or the omnibus.
This is pure blackmail and trying to leverage their vote for concessions they are not entitled to as 10% of the caucus.
There is nothing altruistic or admirable about this clown show.
It is exactly the kind of politics Rs should be against.
So, a little birdie told me today that Mr. Dave Wissing is going to close down HHR. I want to thank him for having this platform for so long. A great run. For a 10+ year period, this was an awesome place for spirited discussion. I left 6+ years ago with the exception of one comment the day after Christmas in 2017.
I wanted to come here and acknowledge Dave. As for the rest? Just for old times same – GFY!
Sake! GFY!
It’s been 6 years since MD was upset that Hillary lost. Time flies.
I’m sure he has been appalled at the Big Tech/Democratic Party collusion that went on to help bring down a sitting Republican President.
“There is nothing altruistic or admirable about this clown show.”
-Did I say anything about being altruistic?
These 20 are using their power they way they see fit, just like McConnell used his power to do what he didn’t need to do 2 weeks ago.
Still haven’t heard 1 common sense reason why that omnibus bill had to be passed. I didn’t think jason would provide it, but I did think I would find an article somewhere giving at least 1 good reason for it……alas, I got a tiny little midget sighting instead.

There was nothing conservative about Biden beotchs omnibus bill.
It was not needed.
Tina,
I’m not even worried about calling it conservative.
There was no reason to do it for the simple reason that the House had changed hands.
Would McConnell have done it if the Senate had changed hands? Doubtful.
Pure selfishness & spitefulness – and now they accuse 20 House members of the same thing, despite those 20 not passing any harmful legislation, just trying to affect change from the way things have been handled. I guess the majority of “Republicans” like the trillion $ deficits.

I have a suggestion.
When “these 20” get 200 seats in Congress with people who agree to those “changes” they can enact them.
They want to impose “changes”, but they are only 10% off the caucus.
Huh, no.
hope Zelensky tells him to F off”
I am sure the Putin Brigade and Tucker will instead suggest he surrender.
“Call their bluff. McCarthy or Jeffries. Take it or leave it.”
Jason, serious question. How do you make the 20 choose McCartty or Jefferies. They have that choice now and don’t vote for either.
In reality there is nothing for the House to do for 9 months when the debt ceiling needs to be raised. Investigations? That is all theater because if there is any criminality involved guess who has to enforce it. Guess who has to report it. The Twitter Files have already proven that the Federal Government was involved in censorship and possibly interfereance with elections and to the general public it is nothing but a big yawn.
The Federal Government and our elected officials regardless of party are broken beyond hope and redemption. Let it collapse and the states can take care of things.

If any leader of the GOP is afraid and cannot stand up to a Tucker Carlson interview they have no business leading.
Jadon supports Ukraine, no friend to democracy, refusing to support Israel unless they got something in return but he’s against US politicians doing the same.
Cherry picking on the importance of coalitions and support I see.
As I stated in my EXPERT point in 153, the Founding Fathers had strong disagreements with each other and were often impetuous and fought like cats and dogs. This is what democracy is supposed to look like instead of a select few calling the shots.
Americans have been brainwashed by decades of power and corruption to fully understand how our democracy developed in the 1st place and think power should be centralized within a few who often fail to do the people’s bidding.
I think there are serious concerns to McCarthy and rightfully so. My suspicion is a lot more also have concerns, regardless of their vote but are voting because they believe choosing a Speaker timely is best strategy.
You think the majority of people who voted for Biden think he was best qualified to represent the Dems? So why should it be any different for those voting to choose a Speaker?
I say let it play out and air the dirty laundry. There are no urgent requirements of the House that is critical to the US at this moment.
…and for the record, people here constantly complain about rigged elections, gubbermint fraud and corruption, money and power influencing politics, etc but continue then continue to support the same GOP leadership. How STOOPID is that?
Why not get rid of the McLeadership and start fresh and give others a chance instead of complaining about DC but then supporting the same players who are part of the corruption?
Poop or get off the pot if you want REAL change.
So CDM wants to bring back the Articles of Confederation. Tgca compares choosing the Speaker of the House to Zelensky fighting for the survival of Ukraine. Maybe HHR has run its course.

Sure, let me know when you have the votes to do that.
Until then, GFY.
son, serious question. How do you make the 20 choose McCartty or Jefferies.”
Easy. Change the rules so majority vote wins.
Put up McCarthy against Jeffries.
Jeffries will get 212 votes, enough to win if the HFC idiots don’t vote for McCarthy.
Call their bluff.
No more concessions. Let them make their choice.
Which Democrats will run? Which Republicans?”
Forget MI.
The Dems have complete control now, they will change the election laws to ensure R don’t win anymore statewide races.
should be a rule in the House of Rep. that when there is a vote for speaker and no candidate bets 50+% of the vote because more than two are nominated, then the next round of voting is between the top two vote getters–and only the top 2 vote betters for speaker.
Everyone must vote for one or the other, or not vote.
Poop or get off the pot if you want REAL change.”
Zzzzz….you have been brainwashed.
You really think the 20 HFC idiots are offering “real change”?
Nah, what they are offering is “give us more power than we are entitled to so we will do the right thing”.
The ‘PLEASE BRIBE US” msg is not real change.
Cow, that rule can be implemented with 218 votes.
Let’s do it.
Let the HFC idiots decide. McCarthy or Jeffries.
Maybe Jeffries will offer them more since they are for sale.
And some people say this is not a cluster f–k clown show.

Letting some anti-McCarthy Republicans just vote “Hell No!” is one of the pitches under way, a dressed-up way of voting “present,” and thus lowering the threshold of pro-McCarthy votes need to reach a simply majority.”

Sheeple- I hope it was caught early and he recovers quickly. I disagree with his politics but I won’t trash him today.

Bitter and Jadon are out of touch with conservatives.
They complain about the corruption and nothing getting done in DC but then they continually support those that are corrupt and get nothing done. They’re useful idiots to the DC establishment.
They’re more concerned with Ukraine then with Americans.
Perhaps Bitter and Jadon should move to Ukraine if they adore and support Zelenskyy so much.

And tell me what will this ambitious agenda bring. I will give you the answer:
Nada.
House does not have any power over the Bureaucracy. They think they do, but they don’t. The only thing they have is the purse and McConnell took care of that for the year. And as I stated before if there is any criminality who will investigate and enforce it? The criminals themselves.
All theater. Who cares.
CCC
F*ck Casey! I could care less he has cancer.
He is an EVIL man ok with killing millions of babies in a horrendous violent fashion.
Having sympathy for him is like sympathizing with Saddam Hussein. He will NEVER suffer with his cancer like the babies that are ripped apart.
One thing that the 20 are asking for is 12 separate appropriations bills. Good idea except..
The Senate will not act on them or put so many poison pills in them that they can never be passed by the House. Then it will just be another CR or Omnibus, voted on by every Democrat and a few Republicans in each chamber which Willard course be necessary in order not to shut down the Federal Government.
All theater. No different results
If in the end McCarthy can’t get the votes, he should step aside. Its no different than SCOTUS or other presidential appointments that can’t get enough votes. If you can’t convince enough people to trust in you, then step aside and give someone else a shot. Its the way our system works. Its a democratic and not an authoritarian process.
No sense in having a conference requiring 218 separate votes if everyone is REQUIRED to vote as one. Get rid of the process for something else if you don’t like that 10% can hold up the process.
Its like telling a registered Republican they can only vote for Republicans. You either have choice in your voting or you do not.
This whole Speaker debacle reminds me of the Harriet Myers nomination to SCOTUS by war monger GWB. He tried to push someone onto the court that certain groups in the conservative base would have no part of. After a few weeks, her nomination was pulled.
I personally am not against McCarthy as Speaker, but I think the 20 members against him have a right to vote their conscious, especially since there is real concern about his strength as a leader.
If McCarthy survives this, it makes me wonder if it will indeed make him a stronger leader – hopefully, it will.
If this stands, the crypto market is going to scare many away since they are expecting safeguards like banking.
Court rules that investors don’t own the coins they purchased. They are merely creditors.
Since there are no protections for crypto like you have with a bank where your deposits are guaranteed by the gubbermint, in crypto, if you put all your assets into the currency, there is no protection and you’re simply a creditor in line that may get little guarantees.
So why would people feel comfortable using crypto if this holds?

Who have MAGA superstars Joe Kent and John Gibbs voted for Speaker?
Who knew Prince Harry, militarily trained, was such a P*SSY!
In his tell all book, he claims Prince William grabbed him by the collar and pushed him to the floor, with Harry landing on the dog bowl in the kitchen stunned and resulting in scrapes and bruises and his necklace being ripped off(did the pearls scatter on the floor?) in the process.
The 1st person he told about this incident was his THERAPIST but skank Meghan also saw the scrapes on his back (I assume while mounting him from the rear with her strap on) and was not surprised Prince William did this.
So I guess the new narrative will be Prince William is too violent and unstable to be the future King.

Unfortunately, you may be right Bitter. The board had many memorable moments. Election night in November 2016 comes to mind. But all good things eventually come to an end. The world is changing rapidly, and not necessarily in a good way. There is a lot of nostalgia on the board for a world that will never come back.
“He gives up his Presidential run, endorses the Golden Calf, and becomes Speaker of the House.”
-Art of The Deal!
All in on that!
“There is a lot of nostalgia on the board for a world that will never come back.”
-Heh! You can say that again!
Considering that many here think the idea that McConnell could have waited 2 weeks to move on any budget legislation is too radical shows you how far gone supposed “small government Republicans” are!
“Who knew Prince Harry, militarily trained, was such a P*SSY!”
-Heh!
Saw that story last night, and had a good laugh!
What the heck happened to Harry!?!?
I really don’t understand why members of the Republican Party in the House are so determined to defend McCarthy. He’s really bad. He’s soulless and stands for nothing other than having the title of Speaker.
If McCarthy ends up as the Speaker, fine. This is a good opportunity, though, to find a new, younger generation of leaders who aren’t stained and tainted by all of the nonsense that occurred over the last five or six years.
Mike Gallagher, as an example, would definitely be the forward looking, generational shift. Obviously, it won’t happen, but it makes sense to talk about it now. At the rate things are going, McCarthy won’t be long for the Speakership if he wins it soon.

Well Robbie, what is your solution to governing 350 million individuals. For a country or any organization to exist it has to have a set of common values and common goals. Otherwise one side must subjugate the other. And the subjugated generally will resist.
I have never called for a civil war. I have already seen the results of them in other countries. A collapse of the Federal Government would likely be difficult but the states would form compacts and manage.
Politics is nothing but a hobby to you. You have no political philosophy beyond that.
Don’t worry. The A-holes will be here to turn out the lights when the Wizard shuts this circus down.
Oh and Robbie one last thing. Since you doxzed yourself (something I refused to do to you) anyone can go look at the FEC site and see that you only donate to Democrats.

If Trump is involved it will be good.
you how far gone supposed “small government Republicans” are!”
NYC is a “small govt R” who was here shilling for every Trump every time he signed a big spending bill.
Because he “only” signed it.
I am for small government. But responsible govt. I don’t go around saying the govt needs to be shut down and the FBI is not needed.
I think McConnell saw the clown show was coming and didn’t want the omnibus hostage to it. There are HFC idiots right now asking McCarthy to promise in advance to shut down the government.
I was against the omnibus bill. But now that I see the HFC idiots have no interest in governing but are only interested in burning things down and power for themselves, I am inclined to think McConnell was smart.
Shilling for Trump.

EVERY single time he signed one of those bloated bills given to him from both a Republican or Democratic Congress, I said he was wrong to do it.
Never gave him a pass for his spending habits, as he was not good in that regard.
That said, the President is in charge of the Executive Branch, and can only suggest funding levels. Appropriations are Congress’s job.

If it wasn’t for the hysterical media and people like Cringeshaw with his over-the-top language, this situation will eventually pass, and the Republicans will assume power. Why so many of you are following the lead of the hysterical media is a pretty good sign of how easily you are still influenced by the Big Tech/Democratic media complex.
So NO, I never wrote “only”. I wrote he was WRONG in signing those bills.”

Tucker: “Dan Crenshaw of Texas filling the role recently vacated by his friend Adam Kinzinger. Crenshaw’s voice seemed to crack with emotions. Why are these people so upset? Crenshaw is a committed neoliberal. He’s hawkish on Ukraine’s borders but indifferent to ours.”
Crimgeshaw should stfu and help McCarthy.
Open borders and a war monger.
Supporting Ukraine defending itself from Putin’s murderous aggression makes somebody a warmonger? Cool. Sign me up.
351. I greatly respect Crenshaw. Hope he runs for President or VP someday.
As usual, Tucker Carlson is lying through his teeth. Crenshaw is an aggressive advocate of increased border security:
“@DanCrenshawTX
In summary: fund airplanes, holding facilities, immigration judges, ICE prosecutors, walls, and technology capable of detecting fentanyl. And stop the abuses of our asylum system. That’s what border security would look like.”
“@DanCrenshawTX
What about people with legitimate asylum claims? Well, we should have a process to claim asylum through our consulates and embassies in those countries or neighboring ones. Trump did this, it was called Asylum Cooperation Agreements. Biden ended those.”
“@DanCrenshawTX
Jan 2
The truth is, the “compassion” of democrats open borders has allowed so much abuse to take place of our asylum system that the backlog is well over a million. This means that real asylum seekers around the world have almost no chance of getting into the system.”
So Tina, this makes Crenshaw and advocate of “open borders”?
“Dan Crenshaw
@DanCrenshawTX
Jan 2
Let’s solve the border crisis in one tweet. Instead of spending billions more on “processing,” spend more money on jet fuel.
Pack planes full of migrants who cross illegally and deport them immediately. The crisis will end within months.
@DanCrenshawTX

So you need jet fuel. You need to be sending people far away from the border, thus making it unimaginable for someone to make the journey all the way north if they’re just gonna be sent back home.
@DanCrenshawTX
Jan 2
And if the State Department can’t negotiate agreements for repatriation (think Cuba and Venezuela)? Then versions of Remain in Mexico policy must be aggressively pursued.
Trump did this by threatening Mexico with tariffs. It worked.”
351. But Bitter, don’t forget that Tucker Carlson was assuring us in the first part of 2022 that Putin was winning in the Ukraine.
Crenshaw is actually a conservative.
The HFC idiots aren’t interested in conservative principles, they just want power and committees they are not entitled to.
They are showing their true colors, and they aren’t conservative.
We need more “warmongers” and “open borders” guys like him.
If cringeshaw wants a coronation, he may be more comfortable in North Korea or Krapistan,
Regarding the battle over who will be House Speaker. I have no problem with Scalise as an alternative to McCarthy. But I doubt the clown show players will agree since they seem more interested in gaining control. The tail wants to wag the dog.
359. Crenshaw has been to Krapistan. He served in the SEALS for 10 years, including in Afghanistan and Iraq (including Fallujah).He reached the rank of lieutenant commander, and lost an eye in combat. I think he likely would know more about border security than the spoiled frat boys who now seem to populate the far right.
SDC,
Now do Tammy Duckworth. Past military service does not mean much when trying to get laws enforced by Democrats.
Hopefully, if and when Republicans get any power over the Executive Branch in the near future, Cringeshaw will lead the charge to enforce all of the immigration laws already on the books that can accomplish the sentiments included in those tweets.
I won’t my breath.
**hold**
Crenshaw won’t sell out his principles.
NYC sells his out on a weekly basis, whatever is the flavor of the day.
I would say Crenshaw is the real conservative.
I greatly respect Crenshaw. Hope he runs for President or VP someday.”
Same here.
HOUSE REPUBLICANS will hold a conference call tomorrow morning to walk through the deal Team McCarthy has cut with his opposition.”
Let’s see.
I hope if McCarthy gave in too much to the hostage takers then some of his supporters will balk.

NYC has been waiting for this to happen for 30 years, it has been at least that long since they have been “enforced”. No R President or R congress has enforced them even when in charge of all branches of government.
While he was waiting and repeating “WE ARE WINNING” at least 15 million illegals have crossed the border.
While he was waiting and repeating “WE ARE WINNING” the courts have been packed with leftist judges who are less and less inclined to enforce them.
While he was waiting and repeating “WE ARE WINNING” more and more local officials in cities, states and town have declared them to be “sanctuaries”, and more and more of their voters agree with them.
While he was waiting and repeating “WE ARE WINNING” illegals have gained access to more and more benefits including driver’s licenses and even the right to vote in local elections. Not to mention schooling, housing, medical care and other benefits at taxpayer’s expense.
Meanwhile, the Dems say thank you as they happily go about implementing their open borders policy.
But hey, according to NYC, by sitting on the sidelines and watching WE ARE WINNING.
Genderbread Person? I should deduct points for that.
Pro-Life Groups Slam CVS, Walgreens for Selling Abortion Pills”
why, exactly?
I thought the pro-lifers wanted fewer abortions.
These pills are “day after” or very very early (within 70 days – 10 weeks) of pregnancy. And you don’t need Planned Parenthood or abortion clinics.
10 weeks is even earlier than the 15 weeks used in many states, and certainly way before any fetus is viable.

I bet you a million dollars that you will never see a MSM headline
“50 million illegal aliens in the last 12 years”
When you look at the vitriol we have here at HHR, which matches the vitriol you see in Congress among people that theoretically should be on the same side with a common foe (the Dems) there is no reason to believe there will be any unity in 2024 among conservatives/Republicans, no common agenda no agreement on any set of principles/issues.
I am reading the comments on Twitter and conservative sites like Redstate and Hotair.
While the Dems are united in their objective of establishing a socialist/woke state with big government and open borders and stifling of dissent, conservatives/Rs are a disparate gaggle of MAGAs, TDS morons, HFC hostage takers, country club elitists, Tea Party remnants, RINOs, etc. often with overlapping views but no unified purpose. Not even counting the Lincoln Project imbeciles and other Stockholm Syndrome victim groups of former “conservatives”.
Without mentioning names, we have people here who want to burn it all down. We have people who will only vote for the person of their choice. We have people who think the views of 10% should trump the views of the other 90%. We have people who view fellow conservatives as their enemy, not the Dems.
These differences in this HHR microcosm are reflected among society as a whole, just read the comments on other sites.
May be hackneyed, but hard not to think of “a house divided cannot stand”. Conservatives are going into 2024 hopelessly fractured and more bent on destroying each other than winning.
I remember how hard I used to work to elect Rs, even those I did not agree with. I sacrificed time with my family and money I couldn’t afford. I neglected my work to attend meetings, attend rallies, canvas neighborhoods. For what, this clown show?
“50 million illegal aliens in the last 12 years”
WE ARE WINNING!
Trump.
The gift (to the Dems/MSM) that keep on giving”
I have to admire the Cow.
There is no limit to the MSM propaganda she won’t swallow and regurgitate here.
“Without mentioning names, we have people here who want to burn it all down”
You can mention me in that regard.
As to the rest of your post let’s sum it up this way. Democrats are united ONLY in their quest for power over the rest of us. Work or not, POWER is their only motivation. Making the rest of us dance to thier tune.
The GOP/conservatives, whatever, with the exception of the Evangelicals want to be left alone and are content to leave others alone. While they may not be Libertarians, there is to some degree a libertarian leaning. They quest for power over others is not as strong as the Democrats.
While I am sure that the GOP’s political class enjoys some power over others, I really beleive that they are all simply grifters getting what they can for themselves. And that is why it needs to be burnt down.
As far as the coiuntry being held hostage, I disagree. The Omnibus allows the government to continue working. The next fiscal issue is the debt ceiling and that is 9 months from now.
You can talk oversight. With no means to enforce thier findings, except through the very entities that they are investigating, all of it is just theater. red Meet for the partisans as the typical voter doesn’t care.
Appropriations bills. Not a chance. They will be rolled up into one omnibus by the Senate that has to be passed at midnight or the government will shut down. Remember that McConnell said about Patrick Leahy. That he understands that they are no enemies, the enemy of the Senate is the House.
The only government employees not getting paid right now are in Congress.
As far as the coiuntry being held hostage, I disagree.”
Zzzzz… just because you don’t think governing is important doesn’t make it less so.
The Dem congress could not “enforce their findings” either, but divulging the truth can impact elections just as lies do (and did).
The HFC tiny minority of hostage takers, publicity seekers and selfish power grabbers ARE holding their party and country hostage.
“Without mentioning names, we have people here who want to burn it all down”
You can mention me in that regard.”
Sorry, no offense intended.
“The Dem congress could not “enforce their findings” either, but divulging the truth can impact elections just as lies do (and did).”
It is all out there in Musk’s Twitter files. It is not being reported. Unless someone is watching CSPAN, they are only going to know about what is reported. And even then, most won’t care.
I have never understood people who wish to goverened or beleive that somehow we can’t survive withpout a small cabal of elites leading us an telling us how we need to live. And that is not an insult.
“Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.

John Bolton appears to be running for president. I saw a blurb that he announced, while in a foreign country?

Because the field is rather large, he may be able to win the primary. Andy Beshear is as lucky as a Democrat in Kentucky can be.

Proud of my conservative friends in the house who just won the best deal the right has ever gotten from Republican Leadership. We need to put petty personal disputes aside & do what’s best for the movement. This is a transformational deal that will change Congress for the better!
i think this cat fight is good for Congress and the voters. They get EDUMACATED on how a REAL democratic process should work, and how often contentious the Founding Fathers could be with one another.
It should not be a select few that control all the bills and then you have to vote on them without time to digest or offer amendments.
What’s the point of being an elected CongressCritter if you’re just expected to fall in line and not think independently for yourself?
As for Dems mocking the GOP, this could come back to haunt them if their most radical lefties like the Squad see the success in getting concessions from McCarthy and they want similar treatment for their side. Harry Reid must be rolling over in his grave for the massive F*ck-up he caused that give the GOP a super majority at SCOTUS.
True, it’s a Democrat process.
There are Years of frustration with the “leadership” of the chain smoker, paolo Ryano, omnibus, Biden’s Beotch, $ to grifters, open borders, and war mongering.
Plus the house Rs (Ryano) allowed for and promoted spy gate and the Russia hoax.
#380 – all those words, and not once did you mention those Republicans who are unwilling to enforce existing laws.
If Republicans don’t have as a First Principle that the Executive Branch should enforce existing law equally across all segments of society, then YES, that makes for a YUGE divide.
“No R President or R congress has enforced them even when in charge of all branches of government.”
-That is a reflection of their own cowardice.
They don’t even have the courage to try to repeal the laws that they “believe” won’t solve the issue.
“As far as the coiuntry being held hostage, I disagree.”
-Once again, western PA talks more common sense than the eastern half.
These “held hostage” headlines on the bottom of the newsfeeds will disappear once this “crisis” is over, and Congress will get on with doing its best to destroy the country.

We’re at a turning point. I’ve negotiated in good faith, with one purpose: to restore the People’s House back to its rightful owners. The framework for an agreement is in place, so in a good-faith effort, I voted to restore the People’s House by voting for @gopleader McCarthy.”

Ok Cow, fair enough.
402. Paul, there is a block of House Republicans who strongly support the Ukraine. When combined with the Democrats, it constitutes a solid majority of House members. So Ukraine will continue to receive aid; there will be a requirement for greater accountability on how funds are spent, which is a good thing. The recent Omnibus bill provided for continued Ukraine aid through much of 2023, so the issue of additional add will not come up for awhile.

“You only earn the position of Speaker of the House. If you can get the votes. Mr. McCarthy doesn’t have the votes today. He will not have the votes tomorrow and he will not have the votes next week, next month, next year”

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/01/finished-mike-rogers-threatens-matt-gaetz-lunging-house-floor/
444. Why? It wasn’t his fault he could not punch Gaetz. Another Congress member held him back. This is Gaetz worse day since Trump refused to grant him a blanket pardon. From The Hill:
“A former White House aide told the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) sought a pardon from former President Trump over the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) investigation into sex trafficking allegations against him, The Washington Post reported on Saturday, citing sources familiar with the testimony.”
SDC – Tina agrees with Gateway Pundit’s cult. It’s her thing.
There was a lot of testimony at the recent House January 6th hearing about Gaetz seeking a pardon from Trump:
1. “Former Trump aide Johnny McEntee said Gaetz told him he had asked former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows for a preemptive pardon, the Post reported. McEntee told the committee that he understood the pardon to be in connection with the DOJ probe.
The committee previously showed McEntee saying in a videotaped deposition that Gaetz told him he asked Meadows for a pardon during a June hearing.”
2. “Former Trump White House lawyer Eric Herschmann testified to the committee, “I believe so” when asked if Gaetz sought a presidential pardon.
“The general tone was we may get prosecuted because we were defensive of the president’s positions on these things. The pardon that he was discussing, requesting was as broad as you could describe. From beginning — I remember he said, from the beginning of time up until today for any and all things. He had mentioned Nixon, and I said Nixon’s pardon was never nearly that broad,” Herschmann testified, which the committee revealed during its hearing.”
3.”Former Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson also testified to the committee that “Mr. Gaetz was personally pushing for a pardon, and he was doing so since early December, I’m not sure why. Mr. Gaetz had reached out to me to ask if he could have a meeting with Mr. Meadows about receiving a presidential pardon.””
I just received a fundraising E-mail from Gaetz. He refers to Kevin McCarthy as “Kiev Kevin”.
“The Establishment “Only Kevin” crowd is so desperate to maintain the status quo in Washington that they seriously threatened to REMOVE REPUBLICANS FROM OUR COMMITTEES if we vote against Kiev Kevin!!!
We triggered the Swamp, and they’re coming back with the vengeance.

They put a sign on their foreheads and said “bribe us”.
Hats off? LOL
McCarthy not afraid to credit Trump.
TDS morons who want a civil war should take notice. The GOP is not winning any elections with a divided party and without Trump’s base of voters.
“McCarthy praised Trump’s persistent calling to Republican lawmakers, thanking him once more.
“He would call me, and he would call others. He was – I was just talking to him tonight – helping get those final votes,” McCarthy said, adding “What he’s saying, really, for the party and the country, that we have to come together. We have to focus on the economy. We’ve got to focus and make our borders secure. We gotta do so much work to do, and he was a great influence to make that all happen. So, thank you, President Trump.”
Tucker Carlson had an interview with Matt Gaetz in 2021, which he referred to as one of the weirdest interviews he had ever conducted. It is worth watching on You Tube or elsewhere. Here is an text of a portion of it.
“I can say that actually you and I went to dinner about two years ago, your wife was there, and I brought a friend of mine — you’ll remember her — and she was actually threatened by the FBI, told that if she wouldn’t cop to the fact that somehow I was involved in some pay-for-play scheme, that could face trouble,” Gaetz said. “So I do believe there are people at the Department of Justice that are trying to smear me. Providing for flights and hotel rooms for people that you’re dating who are of legal age is not a crime.”
“I don’t remember the woman you’re speaking of or the context at all, honestly,” Carlson replied.
Back from commercial, Tucker Carlson proclaims that the interview he just conducted with Gaetz was “one of the weirdest interviews I’ve ever conducted.”
McCarthy thanked Trump for playing a decisive role in getting him elected speaker:
“He thanked the former president for his help, telling reporters early Saturday morning: “I want to especially thank President Trump. I don’t think anybody should doubt his influence.””
Of course, if McCarthy fails, the TDS morons will blame Trump. If Rs lose in 2024 they will blame Trump. If the stock market crashed they will blame Trump. If a new Covid variant emerges they will blame Trump. If there is an earthquake they will blame Trump. If…… you get the idea.

Thanks to the 20 members who forced some good changes that would otherwise would not have happened and left in place Pelosi’s draconian House rules that put more power into the Speaker’s hand and deny Americans of fair representation as the Constitution originally intended.
Without this push, McCarthy, a “finger in the wind” politician in the likes of Paul Ryan, there would be less transparency to the American people.

12-year-old Oklahoma girl stabs 9-year-old brother to death in his sleep
This is why we need to ban knives. The parents should be charged with accessory to murder for not ensuring the household knives were not secured from the children.*sarc*
On the serious side, this girl’s life is absolutely of no value after such a heinous unforgivable event. Who would ever want her around their family? Who would ever befriend her or want to sleep in the same house as her? I hope the parents just abandon her and let her rot away if she is an evil seed.
Like it or not, children can be as evil as adults. A 12-year old knows the basic difference of right and wrong, and certainly knows about physical harm.
If it were up to me, I’d give her the death sentence. She adds no value to the world, child or not. Why prolong the agony and give her the chance to get released and harm others.

Populism is animated by rage and resentment. It doesn’t offer any proscriptions. It’s just anger in human form. Its only real feature is the desire to persecute “others”.
The last populist moment was the 1930’s. That didn’t turn out well for the world.

We know you like to get on your knees and swallow anything DeSanctimonius will spew out but some of us don’t believe in using legislation as a vindictive measure to silence your critics. That’s abuse of power and possibly corruption.
I don’t support Disney wokeism or own any of its stock or watch Disney movies (as far as I know) and I’ve never been to Disneyland or DisneyWorld…and I’ve never been a really big fan of Disney cartoon characters.like Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck, etc.
However, I think passing legislation specifically to target a company to silence it is both unethical and corrupt, especially now that DeSanctimonius and friends are looking to rescind that legislation once Disney backed off and because they’re afraid it’s going to dump enormous debt and expenses onto Floreedah citizens.
So in other words, it was all a political gimmick and abuse of power. How is that different than what DOJ and FBI are doing to target those it does not agree with?
Notice that the Floreedah GOP NEVER had a problem with Disney before Disney stated they would not be supporting GOP politicians any longer.
Meanwhile,Jason disagrees with Trump repeatedly on core issues but like TGCA licks Trumps shoes politically”
Yes, it is called thinking for yourself. I know its a novel concept for an ignorant ass who gets his views from magazines and video games.
But, btw, didn’t you challenge me repeatedly to enumerate the differences between Trump and the Golden Calf on the issues? You claimed there were none.
Must of been another Neville Allen.
For the record, I am not a fan of Disney, mainly for the reason they fired 250+ American IT department workers to replace them with H1-B visa workers and forced many to train their replacements or get no severance.
That was despicable! American companies should not fire American workers in the US to give those jobs to foreigners who get preferential visa treatment. It used to be that before an American job were given under these visa programs, they had to reasonably prove there were not qualified Americans for the jobs. They had to advertise the position and price their were no qualified candidates to sponsor such visa recipients.
American taxpayers pay for this cost benefit given to companies through higher unemployment costs.
It is un-American and based solely on greed. If EVERY US company did this, all Americans would be out of a job.
The situation in Brazil is complicated. Nothing to do with populism really. One rogue judge of the supreme court took the former President, a far leftist who was in jail for corruption, out of jail. Should never have happened. He could not be jailed again because he declared his candidacy. He won a disputed election with allegations of fraud with 50.9% of the vote.

More or less. What his “apology” actually looked like.
“Look, things get heated and things get said. Obviously, to people who took offense by that, it’s pretty obvious that it’s meant as a turn of phrase,” Crenshaw said to CNN’s Jake Tapper.
“To the extent that I have colleagues that were offended by it, I sincerely apologize to them. I don’t want them to think I actually believe they’re terrorists. It’s clearly a turn of phrase that you use in what is an intransigent negotiation,” Crenshaw said.”
But in the end, I don’t think they are terrorists either. Hostage takers and blackmailers and unprincipled jackasses selling their votes will do just fine.
Cringeshaw looks like a COMPLETE FOOL now and resorted to Dem tactics to try and cast his peers he disagreed with as terrorists but it backfired Big Time and required him to apologize.
He can spin it any way he wants with his STOOPID “turn of phrase” excuse but now he sounds like KJP spinning for STOOPID things Biden says like “top of mind” while inquiring where a dead CongressCritter was in the audience.
He’s apologizing because of the backlash. He knows it! We all do!

The 20 GOP CongressCritters are patriots who stood up to the Business as Usual Establishment DC political bosses and got some badly needed concessions, that are very popular with the GOP base, from McCarthy, who tends to stick his finger in the wind on important controversial issues.
Face it! They won! They got McCarthy to acquiesce to things he should have considered all along instead of being shamed into supporting.
It’s how democracy works! The Founding Fathers would be proud.
Hopefully, this will make McCarthy a stronger leader and attentive to conservative wishes and help him be a successful Speaker.
Cringeshaw was stupid in his remarks. He has a history of doing this.

I suggest people go and read the Rule Changes that McCarthy agreed to in his concessions. Most are both common sense and popular with the vast majority of conservatives.
They would not have happened without the 20 Patriots pushing them.
From what I see from the various comments on conservative sites, these are popular with the base.
Some here keep complaining about DC is broken but when some try to step forward to fix it, others whine and complain “how dare they!”
Goldwater, Reagan and others faced similar criticism early on when they sought to make change for the better. I see these 20 Patriots in the same light – pushing for change against an establishment stuck in status quo mode.
Exactly. These people are not fighting for “conservative values”.
But hey, propaganda works, Tgca swallows their BS hook line and sinker.
“Trump-backed South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace absolutely blistered fellow Trump-backer Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fl.) for his performance during the four-day, 15-ballot marathon, calling Gaetz a “fraud“:
“Matt Gaetz is a fraud. Every time he voted against Kevin McCarthy last week he sent out a fundraising email. What you saw last week was a constitutional process diminished by those kinds of political actions.”
Yep, you can add “fraud” to Hostage takers and blackmailers and unprincipled jackasses.

Here is the deal. The 20 HFC idiots were welcome to put up their own candidate against McCarthy, anybody they wanted.
But once McCarthy had the overwhelming support of over 90% of the caucus, the HFC idiots should have acknowledged they didn’t have the votes to elect anybody else and further turmoil was going to turn the process into a clown show with only the Dems to benefit.
These people are not patriots at all. They are hostage takers and blackmailers. They are losers, bad losers at that.
Crenshaw should just say he misspoke.
He should say I didn’t mean terrorists, sorry, I mean idiots and self promoting hostage taking grandstanders who think 5% should rule 95%.

Good.
And kudos to Jordan for supporting McCarthy and refusing to blackmail him.
Have any of the “true conservatives” called him a RINO yet?

Cringeshaw would have been a disaster on that committee
Amoral Scumbag hardest hit.
“Now, The Washington Post is finally admitting it was all nonsense. Citing a new study, the Post reports that there was no appreciable impact made by Russian “trolls” operating on Twitter during the 2016 election.
Russian influence operations on Twitter in the 2016 presidential election reached relatively few users, most of whom were highly partisan Republicans, and the Russian accounts had no measurable impact in changing minds or influencing voter behavior, according to a study out this morning.
The study, which the New York University Center for Social Media and Politics helmed, explores the limits of what Russian disinformation and misinformation was able to achieve on one major social media platform in the 2016 elections.
“My personal sense coming out of this is that this got way overhyped,” Josh Tucker, one of the report’s authors who is also the co-director of the New York University center, told me about the meaningfulness of the Russian tweets.”
I am fine with Mark Green, a McCarthy supporter and not a hostage taker.
“Rep. Mark Green
@RepMarkGreen
I’ve been with Jim Jordan and most of the Freedom Caucus in voting for our conference nominee, Kevin McCarthy, to be Speaker. Just as I supported our Republican nominee, Donald Trump, in 2016 and 2020, I am supporting our Republican nominee here”
Translated: it wouls hit the drats hard, including the White House that had meetings with this trash in September. So, we the department of Justice cannot be bothered.

Sorry, Bitter, you just are not as influential with me as Russian bots.
Of the substantive Rules McCarthy was ” forced to concede to” by the 20 holdouts,
especially re Budget and tax related,which ones do people here object to exactly? And why?
The fact some were allegedly ” forced” on McCarthy itself raises legitimate issues.
Love it when jason and others argue against the 20 “terrorists” but never mention what is being argued about.
They must approve of the powers the Speakership has accrued, to the detriment of this country.
Personally, I thought Paul Ryan would have insisted on getting back to “regular order” but alas, he sold out to K Street at the earliest chance.

-I’m shocked, shocked I say, that Robbie, “CG” haven’t posted about the TwitterFiles being exposed by Taibbi, Weiss, etc etc, which show our government, and especially the ones that those 2 voted FOR, trying to censor American citizens with different political viewpoints.
I would have figured that HHR couldn’t handle the goings-on of last week, being that it was so tumultuous and all!!
But here we are!
Thank you, Dave Wissing!
especially re Budget and tax related,which ones do people here object to exactly? And why?”
Ah yes, the old “the ends justify the means” argument the far left uses so often.
I wonder if Neville Allen would be so amenable to hostage taking and blackmail had there been 200+ HFC idiots and it was 20 “RINO” hostage takers making demands they were not entitled to.
Still doesn’t argue on the merits!
The GOP House will be better served with most of these concessions that McCarthy would not have otherwise agreed to if his job was not on the line.
Since when is it bad to ask CongressCritters…
…to read legislation before they vote on it?
…to allow those ELECTED to office by voters to offer amendments to legislation?
…to ensure categorical legislation is not filled with unrelated pork or unpopular items that would not otherwise pass on its own?
…to require a higher level majority to raise taxes?
…to allow Committee members have more investigative oversight against corrupt gubbermint?
…to restrain the Speaker’s office from abusive power denying elected officials a right to do the people’s work, as they were elected to do?
etc etc etc
Which of these and others concessions are people here against?
Please do tell.
“I wonder if Neville Allen would be so amenable to hostage taking and blackmail had there been 200+ HFC idiots and it was 20 “RINO” hostage takers making demands they were not entitled to.”
-Of course, the “demands” is what we would look at, wouldn’t we?
If those “RINOS” were saying “we need to be more like Dems but not totally like them” I would welcome their hostage-taking, so that the voters could see them for what they really are.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Argue the issues out publicly instead of letting those who have special access get to choose which direction to go in.
love it when jason and others argue against the 20 “terrorists” but never mention what is being argued about.”
Ah…
The “but what were the root causes of 9/11”, we need to “understand the WHY people flew planes into buildings” theory before we condemn them?
It doesn’t matter to me if I agree or not with “what was argued”.
In my view, a tiny minority doesn’t get to dictate to 90%+ of the caucus even if their motives are more altruistic than Mother Teresa’s.
They don’t get to dictate to the overwhelming majority of the caucus even if they have a certified monopoly on good ideas.
If they had the votes to implement their views, they could have elected a HFC idiot speaker. They didn’t. They only had enough to obstruct and take the party and country hostage until enough of them had enough to sell out and make them forget how “horrible” McCarthy was.
The 200+ that voted over and over for McCarthy had convictions. The 20 hostage takers had none. All they had was a “I can be bribed” tattoo on their foreheads.
Yes, the ends do justify the means when ELECTED officials do their job, as expected by their constituents.
Where in the Constitution does it say that electing Speaker requires immediate effect without delay or that party members must vote in lock step with 100% agreement?
If that’s the case, then all voting should ALWAYS be along party lines and no elected official should EVER vote their conscious over the party.
What’s the point of having 435 members in the House if only a few in power get to decide results?
I suggest people go back and read what the Founding Fathers proclaimed when they 1st put forth the UNITED STATES instead of a monarchy.
If those “RINOS” were saying “we need to be more like Dems but not totally like them” I would welcome their hostage-taking”
Sure you would.
LOL.
What’s the point of having 435 members in the House if only a few in power get to decide results?”
Hilarious. From the same guy who thinks 5% should dictate to the other 95%.
I love it here.
Of course, the “demands” is what we would look at, wouldn’t we?”
Fine to make “demands”. Fine to run your own candidate. Until they are voted down by 90% of your caucus.
In the end, if you don’t have the votes to elect your own candidate, you can join the majority or you can throw a tantrum.
Throwing a tantrum doesn’t make you a patriot. It makes you a jackass.
514
If you don’t like the process, blame the caucus rules and ask they be changed.
Last time I looked, the Speaker needed to get to 218 votes or the majority of voting House members. He didn’t! That is on him.
Voting rules under the Constitution trumps the politics of any caucus, left or right.
You can get annoyed or mad over it, but they have the Constitutional right to vote as they did.
Are you suggesting, they be FORCED to vote a certain way?
If so, sounds like what a dictatorship requires.
Where in the Constitution does it say that electing Speaker requires immediate effect without delay or that party members must vote in lock step with 100% agreement?”
Nowhere.
But several votes were taken with the same result. 201+ to 19. The HFC idiots rotated several candidates, it didn’t change.
McCarthy was the firm choice of 90%+ of the caucus.
That is why I think McCarthy should not have offered any more concessions.
He should have changed the rules (enough Dems would have voted for the change to get 218) to make it a majority vote, him against Jeffries, straight up.
He should have let the HFC idiots decide who they wanted.
He should have rejected hostage taking and blackmail and called their bluff.
So Jadon now believes in bypassing the Constitution after he threw a hissy fit on how the Dems violated and bypassed the Constitution in 2020 election.
Does that apply to scumbag McCain who refused to vote with the rest of GOP senate on Obamacare? He betrayed not only his constituents but his ENTIRE party.
Will Jadon admit McCain falls into this same category of grandstanding, vindictive, selfish 20 Patriots?
but they have the Constitutional right to vote as they did.”
Absolutely, but no one is questioning their right to be jackasses, are they?
I called the HFC idiots hostage takers and blackmailers, I never said anything about “rights”.
Haven’t I always defended your unalienable right to be a clown here?
So I assume Jadon will agree in the future that no single politician should stop a candidate from winning a vote.
McConnell stopped Garland from getting a vote he would have most likely won in the senate to be seated on SCOTUS because enough GOPers would have voted with Dems to secure him that seat.
Was McConnell an IDIOT and acting selfishly by keeping 99 senators from choosing the next SCOTUS appointment?
He betrayed not only his constituents but his ENTIRE party.”
Yes, the 3 (?) Rs that did not vote to end Obamacare certainly were grandstanding, vindictive and selfish, and I never said otherwise.
Same with those that voted to impeach Trump.
Next point?
522
So Jadon admits McCain and Mitchie were IDIOTS too.
…and since when does voting your conscience make you a Jackass?
Perhaps many GOP House members don’t agree with the 20 Patriots but I bet once the conservative voters see what concessions were received, they’d agree and be thankful for those concessions that would otherwise not have happened.
That’s democracy working!
Was McConnell an IDIOT and acting selfishly by keeping 99 senators from choosing the next SCOTUS appointment?”
Apples and oranges.
Horrible analogy. Garland was a flaming liberal and McConnell used his power to keep him from getting a vote.
He wasn’t blackmailing anybody.
So Jadon admits McCain and Mitchie were IDIOTS too.”
Nah, I think McConnell is a genius.
I think McCain was a great patriot who was a grandstanding idiot on Obamacare (and on campaign finance).
Perhaps many GOP House members don’t agree with the 20 Patriots but I bet once the conservative voters see what concessions were received, they’d agree and be thankful for those concessions that would otherwise not have happened.”
Zzzzz……
524
Don’t try to minimize McCain’ here by implying others too. He went back on his word. He lied to his constituents. He voted against the GOP and he did it with flair for the cameras as an act of vengeance. He betrayed America with that vote in my view. A petty little man with TDS who that basked in the media glow of his vote.
Thank God the GOP is rid of this scumbag. History will show him sympathy as a POW but otherwise he will be an unaccomplished politician who probably never belonged there in the 1st place if not for playing the victim card and his family’s influence.
I’m glad you agree McCain was a grandstanding IDIOT!
527
You mean Mitchie the genius that cost the GOP the senate in both 2020 and 2022?
What a genius!
More like a corrupt politician pushing lucrative deals for his corrupt wife and her family while sucking up to China and selling out the conservatives.
Too bad he’s not as much of a genius as Schumer I guess who has by-passed him in less than 2 years in getting judges appointed and may go down in history with getting the most judges appointed by 2024 because Mitch’s failed senate strategy in 2020 and 2022.

Once again because the lie must be rebutted. McCain did not vote against a bill that would have repealed and replaced Obamacare. He voted against a bill that did not repeal or replace Obamacare. He voted against a bill that would have done nothing.
535
It was a bill that started the repeal process. It would have stopped ACA in its track, addressing the most gravest concerns of ACA, making ACA obsolete. He was the deciding vote!
Again, you are wrong on another issue – no surprise- and you MISUNDERSTAND the impact this legislation would have had because it would have started the domino effect. Because of his betrayal to the GOP, the courts intervened and kept it alive just like they twisted themselves into a pretzel incorrectly legalizing Roe v. Wade decades earlier instead of letting the states or Congress address it.
McCain in his own words below admits the bill would have REPEALED the biggest provisions of the ACA, therefore making it obsolete. He spinned it as not voting for it because it had no replacement clause. Lies that he conjured up to go back on his word.
If you disagree with McCain, I suggest you go join him and ask him why he called it a repeal if it were not a repeal.
Leave your sweaters at home though, you won’t need them where that scumbag hopefully will spend eternity.
Press Release from McCain on ACA Vote:
“From the beginning, I have believed that Obamacare should be repealed and replaced with a solution that increases competition, lowers costs, and improves care for the American people. The so-called ‘skinny repeal’ amendment the Senate voted on today would not accomplish those goals. While the amendment would have repealed some of Obamacare’s most burdensome regulations, it offered no replacement to actually reform our health care system and deliver affordable, quality health care to our citizens. The Speaker’s statement that the House would be ‘willing’ to go to conference does not ease my concern that this shell of a bill could be taken up and passed at any time.”
More evidence of McCain’s betrayal from his own autobiography where he acknowledges he helped save Obamacare.
He knew EXACTLY what he was doing that night. The vote was at 1:30 AM and Pence went to the Senate thinking he’d be the tie-breaker in a 50-50 vote. McCain misled the GOP. He was surrounded with kudos and praise from Dems on the Senate floor, being embraced by Feinstein, Klobuchar, Schumer and others – by the way, another failure of Mitchie at vote counting and bringing to the floor a losing bill.
In his 2018 memoirs, “The Restless Wave,” McCain said even Obama called to express gratitude for McCain’s vote against the Republican repeal bill.
“I was thanked for my vote by Democratic friends more profusely than I should have been for helping save Obamacare,” McCain wrote. “That had not been my goal.”
All those words just for Tgca to admit that the bill did not repeal or replace Obamacare.
At least the sad little clown told me to die. Add the points to my account, Jason.
@TrumpTruthPost
The Fake News Media was, believe it or not, very gracious in their reporting that I greatly helped Kevin McCarthy attain the position of Speaker of the House. Thank you, I did our Country a big favor!
Trump is on Twitter again through the back door. A “bot” is posting his Truth Social posts on twitter.
“The “but what were the root causes of 9/11”, we need to “understand the WHY people flew planes into buildings” theory before we condemn them?”
-You know you’ve won an argument when the opposing side writes this!
That is a ridiculous comparison.
“It was a bill that started the repeal process. It would have stopped ACA in its track, addressing the most gravest concerns of ACA, making ACA obsolete. He was the deciding vote!”
-Exactly correct.
The old Potomac 2-step by McCain, and the PA A-Holes defend him every single time.
Same as jason used to call out Ron Paul for voting against a budget while having dozens of earmarks included in it for his district – difference being that jason would go after Ron Paul for his 2-step, but McCain’s dance is always rewarded by the A-Holes.
“He voted against a bill that would have done nothing.”
-Yup, and that’s why the Democrats were so thrilled when he voted “NO”, because it would have done “nothing”…….
538
The bill was NEVER intended to replace ACA. It was meant to repeal significant pieces so the ACA would become obsolete. That’s why it was called the Skinny Bill.
As usual, you didn’t understand that and deflected because I just proved you wrong with McCain’s own press release. You don’t argue the merits, you argue you’re “feelings” like any good wokester.
So now tell us again how depression is just a weakness since you have so much credibility of getting issues correct here.
“That is why I think McCarthy should not have offered any more concessions.”
-Of course, the 20 “renegades” knew he valued the power that much that he would appease them.
But I will repeat, jason refuses to argue about the changes that were made, because they are ones that should have been made years ago.
538
…and for the record, I did not tell you to die. I mocked you by proving you wrong with McCain’s own press release and suggested you speak to him directly if you had problems with his interpretation of his actions.
So spin your woke self-obsessed drama but I did not tell you to die.
…but if you strongly feel the need to prove a point, by all means, don’t let me stand in your way.
I don’t blame McCarthy for fighting for the Speaker job. He was embarrassingly passed over previously for Speaker, even though he was 2nd in command then, losing out to Paul Ryan, one of the worst GOP leaders and Speakers, so McCarthy probably knew this was his last chance so he conceded on all the major issues to the 20 Patriots who brought some conservative breadth back to the House.
Hopefully, this will make McCarthy a better leader and let him know not to F*CK with REAL conservatives in the future.
HA! HA! HA! HA!

When will Biden be indicted?
Where’s the Special Counsel?
They’ve known about this since before the midterms.
He’s had these classified documents in his possession for 4 years prior to stealing the 2020 election.
Can’t wait to see how KJP spins this. It was top of mind to return them I bet.
Classified documents from VP era found in Biden’s private office…
Attorney General Merrick Garland has assigned the U.S. attorney in Chicago to review classified documents found at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, two sources with knowledge of the inquiry told CBS News. The 10 documents are from Biden’s vice-presidential office at the center.

So now tell us again how depression is just a weakness
Why would I say that again? I was wrong. I admitted I was wrong. My niece killed herself because she could not defeat depression. You described her death in horrific detail. GFY.
…and for the record, I did not tell you to die.
Actually, you did:
If you disagree with McCain, I suggest you go join him
Since McCain is dead, the only way to join him would be to also be dead.
Keep at it, sad little clown.
The coming demise of HHR will have one benefit. The sad little clown may not develop carpal tunnel syndrome from his hundreds of posts each week.
Unfortunately, if his puppet master tries to return, she won’t be able to find him.
I think any indictment of Trump on the classified documents just got blown out of the water.
Any conviction will get an immediate appeal me thinks and is ground for dismissal.
The GOP could NOW go after and prosecute Biden in the future too if they want to play tit for tat.
Will they RAID Biden’s personal residence to see if more documents have been listed there for 4 years? What about Hunter’s place?
The documents were in a locked closet – sound familiar?
…and at an unsecured location. At least Mara-lago had Secret Service and other security while the Biden Center is open to the public.
The documents were discovered when Mr. Biden’s personal attorneys “were packing files housed in a locked closet to prepare to vacate office space at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C.,”
The Penn Biden Center is a think tank about a mile from the White House, in Washington, D.C., that is affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania and named for the sitting president.
548
Here we go again with PityLaw trying to use his deceased niece as an excuse for his great IGORENTZ on a very basic concept no person with an IQ over 70 would support.
Believing depression is a weakness is up there with arguing the world is flat or visiting the moon was a hoax or how safe the good part of Philly is.
You need to own your STOOPDITY! With such nonsense, you have no credibility on any issue dude! ACCEPT IT!

Thank you for your concern over my potential carpal tunnel syndrome.

Big difference between president trump and vp.
Also a president is tied to the presidential records act. He can take copy of records and declassify.

From colleague Tyler Olson. Dem IN Rep Carson on Biden/classified documents: My hope is that my Republican friends don’t become so obsessed with getting the White House that they lose focus of the reason why they’re here and that’s to serve their constituents.
I only bring up my niece to remind people what a vicious, hate-filled scumbag you are. You own that post forever. It defined who you are.
Bitterlaw,
I’m sorry, but I don’t know what to say anymore to Tgca about that issue. I don’t understand why he would continue to go there.
Because he is a vicious, hate-filled scumbag. He is a sad little clown. He has taken over this blog and can’t accept any disagreements. It is truly sad to see.
559
Dearest PityLaw:
Thank you for the reminder.
As I will remind all here that my post came ONLY after your post mocking me as an underanged teen caring for my dying brother daily and how you accused me of neglecting him and letting him die in the hospital alone because I went to a graduation party the night before he died when I did not expect him to die since last I saw him he was fully conscious and aware in the hospital.
So tit for tat I thay. Don’t play with fire if you don’t want to get burned.
The main difference being, I was an underaged teen responsible for caring for a dying 22-23 year old while in high school and working nights while you were an adult in your 50s. Why would a grown man in his 50s attack an underaged teen for dealing with a dying brother and implying he was neglectful.
Were you the main caregiver for your parents when they were dying? It might be that I did more as a teen than you did as an adult so ponder that.
That post you made of me also defined you forever as a lowlife scum, and as you may recall, some posters here commented on both our posts as equally disturbing and one even offered prayers for both I believe.
So you don’t get to attack the deaths of others but feel horrified when they attack you back.
But as ALWAYS, play the victim. We all know that’s your MO. The posts price my points above.
I think any indictment of Trump on the classified documents just got blown out of the water.”
No, it is not.
Biden can prove he is senile so it’s just a case of misplaced documents.
Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills heading home to recuperate further. I am praying for you.
Three cheers to the paramedics on hand who got his heart beating again! WOW!
And good luck to Hamlin, I hope he takes his second chance at life and really cherishes every moment with his family, friends and those he has yet to meet.
-It takes a real “genius” to just roll over and say “Go ahead, Chuckie, I’m all yours!”.
Hilarious by someone who has fought like crazy to enable Chuckie to be majority leader for years.
How many autographed pictures of him do you have already?
“Will Jadon admit McCain falls into this same category of grandstanding, vindictive, selfish 20 Patriots?”
It seems like Tgca has the 20 hostages takers pegged correctly.
The only question that remains is McCain like them.
That is the disagreement.
He says yes and I say no.
Zzzzzzzzzz
Nice try. You also always ignore that I praised you for the dedication and care you gave to your brother. In return, you not only described how my niece died but also blamed me for her death. I pity you that you are so broken inside.
NYC
This is not about Bitter’s niece. It was NEVER about her. We were having arguments with Bitter about his ridiculous beliefs and mocking others on depression long before his niece’s death so you should be aware of the history. I was not the only one that challenged him on his ridiculous mockery of depression.
Just like he dug himself into a hole about NFL wokeism and the good parts of Philly.
You always complain how others distort your posts so I suggest you get the facts before you judge.
If you want the whole story in the feud, see 559. Go back and research the history and you will find the post where Bitter 1st attacked me for neglecting my dying brother as an underaged teen and I responded in kind about his neglect of his niece.
Tit for tat.
The death of his niece was no more traumatic than the death of my brother when I was a teen in high school. I dropped from ranking 2nd in my class to like 20th during this time.

567
You keep repeating that your praised my dedication then why did you post about me being selfish and neglecting my brother while he died in a hospital so I could go to a party?
That doesn’t sound like praise to me. It sounds like a bitter old unhappy miserable man trying to get one up on someone else only I hit you back just as hard and you whine like a Bish.
Why would a man in his 50s attack a high school teen responsible for caring for his dying brother day in and day out. Not only did I care for him emotionally, keep him company, do his errands, but I changed the bandages a few times daily and cleaned the open wounds in his back where tumors the size of oranges and grapefruits were removed and grew back.
Did you ever have to change the bandages on open wounds with growing tumors? If not, you have no idea what that is like for a teen so had you never gone there with your mockery, I would never have responded in kind.
Take accountability for your actions. The sequence of the posts prove you went there 1st.
Tgca’s insistence to keep rehashing this frankly despicable drivel and garbage about Bitter and his niece is pretty sick.
Mock him for his views on depression or whatever if you want but leave his family and especially his deceased niece out of it.
570
I don’t want sympathy, that’s your MO. I’m explaining the sequence of events that you conveniently leave out in your desire for pity.
I don’t have time now but if you want to wager, I’ll go back and find your original post as I described above and my response, and everyone can have their memory refreshed on how it played out.
You deserve the response you got for mocking me and my dying brother.
Zzzzzzzzz. The posts are all there and you can’t hide from them. All of them. Including you blaming me for my niece’s death. You own it forever.
I did not mock you or your brother. I certainly did not describe his death. Keep spinning and lying. It defines you.
572
Jadon is challenged with reading comprehension.
I NEVER mentioned Bitter’s niece in this thread or any thread about my disagreement with him over depression that disagreement was long before his niece’s death.
He constantly invokes her every single time as an excuse to deny he makes STOOPID comments like depression is a weakness, the good parts of Philly, or defending NFL wokeism.
I said in post 543
So now tell us again how depression is just a weakness since you have so much credibility of getting issues correct here.
Bitter came back in post 548
Why would I say that again? I was wrong. I admitted I was wrong. My niece killed herself because she could not defeat depression. You described her death in horrific detail. GFY.
So who brought up the niece here? BITTER DID!

Hey Jadon
I’ll await your apology after you review the sequence of posts here I just posted.
You can send me a gift certificate for tofu for jumping the gun and making an erroneous claim based on incorrect facts.
I’ll make your review easy. You can do a word search. The 1st time “depression” was brought up in this thread was in my post 543. Go re-read it. There is nothing there about Bitter’s family. Bitter invoked his niece, not me.
Let me know when I can receive my gift certificate.
Thanks
Te sad little clown only brings up my past comments about depression several years ago as a way to pour salt in a wound that will never heal. He is a vicious, hate-filled scumbag.
Don’t fall for the sad little clown’s act. He only brings up depression as his way of attacking me for causing my niece’s death. NYC knows it.

You continue to leave out the part of you mocking me and my dying brother, lying that I chose to go to a party rather than attend to my dying brother.
You accuse me of neglect. I responded in kind.
Get over it!
I never accused you of neglect. I don’t recall mentioning you going to a party. Only you would know what you were doing.
You accused me of causing my niece to kill herself. Own it. That is not “mocking.” Just admit you are vile and hate-filled. Everybody knows what you posted.
579
MAJOR GOAL POST MOVING
Even though we’ve been mocking Bitter for his believes on depression for years, way before his nieces death, now he admits I’m not mentioning his niece at all but NOW he claims I only bring it up to secretly torment him.
So what’s my excuse for also bringing up your other ridiculous views on wokeism, Radnor elitism, good Philly, southern accents, best friending with teens, etc etc etc.
Are those secret torments too?
Any rational person can see by following the sequence of posts above, nothing was said of Bitter’s niece. It’s he who ALWAYS brings it up. ALWAYS!
I guess if Bitter gets mugged in the good part of Philly one day, we’ll NEVER be able to bring up his views on the good part of Philly either because it’ll be code for secret torment of him.
Too bad this wasn’t a court of law. I’d collect my money and pass go.
581
BS! You’re feigning forgetfulness now that I have challenged you with existing posts out there.
I told you how my brother unexpectedly died on a Saturday night while I was at a graduation party and I did not find out for like 3 days because I changed my visiting him that Sunday with intentions to go a couple of days later. I had to take 3 buses that took like an hour to 2 hours on Sunday.
You then used that to later mock me about leaving him to die in hospital to party and not going to see him. Those posts are out there.
You used that to mock me just like you used the death if LisaB’s by to mock her and then pretend you forgot about it,
You’re a LIAR! You conveniently twist info in your fits. All of a sudden you keep moving the goal posts. But luckily, the HHR posts tell a different story than you present here.
583
I meant death of LisaB’s baby bit LisaB.
The Rules package forced on McCarthy passed.
Seem basically all to the good.
The 20 ” malcontents” appear to have achieved quite a lot the GOP base wants.
Black Americans Score Settlement Against U.S. Farms that Replaced Them with Foreign Workers

No country should displace its citizens and hire foreigners to do the work under special visas. Immigration should be based on need to support the nation and not to displace Americans so companies can make more profits.

Seems like a good time to revisit this article from last August…even before learning that VP Biden took and held top secret documents in an unsecure facility for 7 years. AG Garland must explain why he appointed a Special Counsel for Trump but not Biden?
Democrats are still evil. The Democratic Party still favors the surgical mutilation of children–a heinous action that will prevent the child from ever growing up to become a biological parent.
What they favor doing to children was done as an act of genocide by the ancient Babylonians who would conquer people groups, slaughter the adults, then castrate the young boys to keep them as slaves.

WTF?
So Dave Wissing is going to shut it down? Why? What could be the reason?
1) The Democrats have ruined the country, and there is no path to recovery, so run up the white flag.
2) The Republicans have recaptured the house and will provide gridlock until the ultimate and final demise of the party, leading to forever one-party rule.
3) The party of Jeb Bush is gone and will never come back, so there is no hope of the Dem-Lite party recovering, so they can once again reach across the aisle to accomplish the Dem agenda, just a little more slowly.
The reason is no doubt #3.
Personally, I think the high-water mark for this blog was the moment Polaris came to the defense of a Paladin/CFP poll.
Speaker McCarthy Moves to Remove Eric Swalwell, Adam Schiff and Ilhan Omar from Congressional Committees

I hope Dave reconsiders. Maybe he was just having a bad day.
This site is now a major public service.
Shutting it down would be bad for society and Dave is believes in a better world.
I think HHR is here to stay.
Only Schiff is actually going to lose his committee, Swalwell was rotated out and Omar not there yet.
Now let’s see if they have the votes to remove Schiff. Did any Dems refuse to oust MTG and Gosar?
If not, there is no reason for Rs not to vote on this unanimously either.
Those that don’t have the stomach for it can just not show up for the vote.

Walt waited centuries for the glaciers to retreat from West Virginia but whines about the DMV?
Data shows U.S. farms use the H-2A visa program to import cheaper foreign visa workers. The black Americans who filed the lawsuit claimed they were paid $7.25 to $8.25 an hour while their foreign H-2A visa counterparts were paid nearly $12 an hour.”
Actually the foreign workers were paid more, not less. Maybe better workers? Companies should not be forced to hire US workers if they are not apt/qualified/available. Tgca doesn’t want the US companies to move overseas for competitive reasons, but he wants to restrict companies operating here from being competitive. You can’t have it both ways.
I disagree with Tgca. And I strongly support the special visa program for temporary foreign workers. In this case it seems there were some people displaced, but in most cases with special visa programs these are jobs that either cannot be filled or that there are not enough specialized people to do them.
Fortunately, these types of visas are not going anywhere.

I applaud POTUS & AG for their professional, nonpartisan handling of this situation.
Unlike Trump, who allegedly obstructed efforts to recover hundreds of classified docs, the handful of classified docs reportedly found at Biden Center were immediately sent to Natl Archives.”
“Found”? Who found them
And there is an 800-lb gorilla in the room.’
“Because the Penn Biden Center wasn’t even founded until 2018, it is clear that the documents were transported there during a period when Biden did not have the legal authority to have them.”
#594 – Magnanimity is allowed at HHR?
End Times are upon us!
“Personally, I think the high-water mark for this blog was the moment Polaris came to the defense of a Paladin/CFP poll.”
-That was pretty funny.
I still hope to have all those “Republicans” who left because of Trump come back and explain why/how President Biden and his policies are so much better. Robbie and “CG” haven’t been able to, and neither has Wissing. MD is too much of a coward, and Author Mendez is too busy watching Marvel movies.
This is pretty honest, I have to admit.
“Joy Behar on Biden’s classified documents: “We all know that Trump is a liar and a thief. We know that. So it’s not that big a jump to say that he obstructed and he lied. We don’t think Biden is a liar and a thief, so we give him the benefit of the doubt.”
“We don’t think Biden is a liar and a thief, so we give him the benefit of the doubt.”
-Robbie and “CG” concur.
Of course they do.
For the left, the ends always justify the means.
Because they know what is good for you, you don’t.
I am surprised TDS morons like Neville Allen and SoHope haven’t come by yet to shill for Biden.
They must be getting their talking points lined up first.
I can see it now. Trump stole nuclear codes. Biden just took the WH Chef’s recipe for eggplant casserole.
BREAKING: U.S. intelligence materials related to Ukraine, Iran and UK found among the classified documents being kept in Joe Biden’s private office.”
So what?
Recipes for borscht, hummus and fish and chips?
I am more worried that Trump stole the nuclear codes and is right now preparing a launch against all blue states.
I live in KY so I shouldn’t be worried but Trump is incompetent and he could miss.

They also give free medical care to all the pregnant illegals, and even drive all over town to buy car seats for the illegal babies and kids.
They project that for the year they will by $40 Million in the hole.
**********************************************
Local legal American residents have had to delay scheduled medical procedures due to there being no beds or lack of staff available to deal with the REAL Americans medical needs.
But Biden did not see any of that…
“Personally, I think the high-water mark for this blog was the moment Polaris came to the defense of a Paladin/CFP poll.”
For me, it was the day I became an A-hole.
It was proof that a poor South American immigrant could, with hard work and by overcoming all obstacles and surviving all tribulations, be all he could be.
But Biden did not see any of that…”
I don’t either.
WE ARE WINNING!
I know, it doesn’t look like it, and it hasn’t looked like it for decades, and it seems like it is getting worse, but that is all an optical illusion.
I got a text from my friend Chuckie Schumer, who said immigration laws will finally be enforced, the delay was due to a technical glitch that he has personally resolved. He said that he is sure I will mail in another check to celebrate this good news. I am rushing to mail it, the first 500 checks get an autographed picture of Chuckie, I don’t want them to run out.
When Jason entered the A-holes, there was not a dry eye in the A-hole clubhouse.
Still awaiting my apology and tofu gift certificates from Jadon and NYC for slandering me with incorrect posts, as outlined in 572, 576, 577, and 582.

The TDS morons are those who believe Trump has a ghost of a chance at winning in 2024. He doesn’t , no more than Putins invincible legion of 190 000 troops did of sweeping through Ukraine and storming the bastions of Warsaw, Prague, Bucharest …
BTW Jason,can you enlighten is on whatajor Trump policies you actually agree with?
Is he anti or pro establishment?

This week one of DeSanctimonius MAJOR accomplishments of his gubbernorship went into effect.
Senator Sasse became president of the University of Floreedah.
This is a major accomplishment impacting millions and could propel DeSanctimonius into the WH in 2024.
DeSanctimonius has now achieved his TOP 4 goals in 4 years, unprecedented by any other U.S. gubbernor.
1. Signed the Don’t Say Gay Bill
2. Signed legislation to retaliate against Disney for criticizing him and eliminating their special status that will saddle Floreedah with millions in debt
3. Scolded Disney and helped force out their leftist CEO so he could be replaced with another leftist CEO
4. Had Senator Sasse appointed president of the University of Floreedah
These are the kind of issues 1st and foremost concerning Americans so it’s great to see DeSanctimonius has his finger in the pulse of the nation.
Kudos to Matt Gaetz!
Gaetz introduces amendment to bring C-SPAN cameras back to House floor
The House should be 100% transparent at all times. Politicians from Gingrich to Pelosi, and probably others too have manipulated use of cameras on the House floor for decades.

BTW Jason,can you enlighten is on whatajor Trump policies you actually agree with?”
Absolutely. My pleasure. I hope I don’t miss any. Some of Trump’s initiatives I agreed with:
– Energy independence
– Tax cuts
– Mideast peace agreements (Abraham Accords)
– Conservative judicial appointments
– Deregulation of economy
– Opportunity zones in low income areas
– War against ISIS
– Intervention in Syria
– Summit with North Korea
– Rebuilding the military
– War against wokism and the MSM
– Increased border security and Title 42 (not border wall)
– Withdrawal from Paris Accords
– Withdrawal from Iran deal
Next question?
Still awaiting my apology and tofu gift certificates from Jadon”
Poor Tgca thinks he will live longer than Walt?
Good luck with that.
Here is what I said:
“Tgca’s insistence to keep rehashing this frankly despicable drivel and garbage about Bitter and his niece is pretty sick.
Mock him for his views on depression or whatever if you want but leave his family and especially his deceased niece out of it.”
Then TGCA reaches for the epitome of intellectual dishonesty by claiming he did not bring up Bitter’s niece in THIS thread, ignoring that he has brought it up time after time in sordid and despicable ways since she died in countless other threads.
GFY.
Gaetz introduces amendment to bring C-SPAN cameras back to House floor”
Wow, the hostage taking idiots are really delivering on big st-ff! More cameras…of course there are cameras in the House already, every debate and vote is televised on C-Span.
What is next? Don’t tell me they are bringing back chili dogs at the House dining room after Pelosi banned them.

The House just passed a resolution establishing a Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government 221-211.
Yet again, Rep. Dan Crenshaw was the lone Republican member who did not vote.
So far I am impressed with the new house.
Looks like deep state is starting to sheot themselves.
Complete opposite of what paolo Ryano did to trump with the Russian hoax.

#618 – it’s been several days, get over the fact that you lost the argument about the details for why the 20 held out. Try not to be too childish.
#616 – nice list, couple of tweaks here and there would almost be same as mine. Well done, pupil.
617
This is a COMPLETE LIE!!!
I have NEVER done this. What I have done is challenged Bitter on his credibility for a number of things including STOOPID comments for years about depression being a weakness , way before the death of his niece.
He now claims anytime I bring this up that’s it code for disparaging how niece. Another lie!
I challenge you to find ONE post where I did what you claim. Just one. My posts regarding Bitter’s niece have ALWAYS been to rebut his lies and not to attack her.
When I caught him in a lie yesterday and proved it, he moved the GOALPOSTS now admitting I don’t attack his niece directly but use code. It’s just crazy.
So Jadon, I challenge you to find ONE post that claims what you state I do. Just one. If you can’t do that, you have no ABSOLUTELY credibility.
I can also provide you the post where he mocked and accused me of neglecting my brother on his deathbed that started this entire ordeal to begin with nearly 2 years ago.
Tina,
Trump is a so
Where does #616 differ from basic establishment Republican positions held by almost everybody in the GOP,from Ron DeSantis to Kevin McCarthy?
The unique Trumpian policies,on the Border Wall , China tariffs/ disengagement from China’s economy, China as the US primary enemy not Russia , Nato nations upping defense expenditures ,signing bloated omnibus bills,etc are not mentioned all core Trump positions.
So we know Jason is an establishment Republican,which is fine,so is Bitterlaw so why the acrimony?
And why an old , Trump loser then?
Why not a traditional GOP member who agrees generally with thar entire list?
Gaetz has done more for conservative causes than Jadon will EVER do.
Gaetz is a Patriot and conservative!
Jadon is neither.
On the border wall the gop-e are largely open borders and proponents of amnesty. Just check out the beauts in the r senate as an example.
Don’t tell Gordon that everybody who is elected becomes part of the Establishment.
Is it true that Cotton voted for the Omnibus bill?
If so, another disappointment.
TINA IS A VAGINAL YEAST INFECTION.
#616 – nice list, couple of tweaks here and there would almost be same as mine. Well done, pupil”
F–k off, don’t try to agree with me on any list.
You favored Trump’s stupid AFL-CIO agenda and his stupid trade wars and tariffs and his asinine anti-NATO rants and gave him a pass on signing huge spending bills, don’t pretend we agree.

So we know Jason is an establishment Republican”
LOL
I quit the party in 2016, that is how “establishment” I am.
The last R primary I voted in was in 2016, and it wasn’t for Trump.
My posts regarding Bitter’s niece have ALWAYS been to rebut his lies”
I doubt that.
But in any case stop talking about his niece period. It is despicable and disgusting.
#618 – it’s been several days, get over the fact that you lost the argument about the details for why the 20 held out”
I did?
Where was that?
And btw, they didn’t “hold out”. They sold their votes for concessions and for power they weren’t entitled to.
Details? Funny.
Where does #616 differ from basic establishment Republican positions held by almost everybody in the GOP,from Ron DeSantis to Kevin McCarthy?”
You tell me.
You asked me to list the Trump initiatives I agreed with.
I did.
You said I don’t agree with stupid tariffs and trade wars and spending bills, attacking NATO, a physical border war, and ignoring Russia’s expansionist policies (Trump didn’t do that, btw, that is YOUR idea).
This is true. I don’t agree with any of that.
Next question?

Putin’s murderous invasion of Ukraine has caused the death of thousands of Ukrainians and his own troops. It destroyed Ukraine’s infrastructure and economy.
Another casualty is the English language. Surrender is now “negotiated peace.” Supporting the survival of Ukraine is now “grift.”
“I quit..”

GFY Jadon!
I NEVER bring up his niece to him 1st. NEVER! He always does that in accusations against me so I have a right to defend myself against his lies.
He now changed his position after I proved him wrong and says if I criticize him on his STOOPID comments on depression, as I have done for years, it’s really meant to attack his niece. That’s like saying you can’t criticize someone on the merits because it’s really racist.
Perhaps you should actually read the posts before you comment and you will see who brings up his niece 1st. A search of HHR going back 2 years will prove I’m correct on this.
Again, I challenge you to find ONE post where I did what you claim. You can’t and won’t because you know it’s not true. You refuse to admit your mistake and you’re digging in your heels. Typical Jadon!
…and answer me this, Bitter mocked me and accused me of neglecting my dying brother in a hospital the night he died because I was at a party as a teen. Do you think I should ignore that? Would you ignore that accusation?
He also mocked LisaB after she lost her child. He then claimed he forgot about it. I know this for a fact because LisaB posted to me directly about this. Do you believe that Bitter, who can remember something 15 years ago here, would forget that a regular poster here lost a child?
Keep covering for him all you want but he has mocked the deaths of family members and posters here and you seem fine with that because he agrees with you on certain issues nearly all others do not.
I will continue to mock him on his credibility for STOOPID comments about depression, good Philly, woke NBA, elitist Radnor, etc regardless of how much he complains it’s code for attacking his niece.
