The Freedom Caucus Objects to McCarthy's Compromise With Biden on the Debt No-Limit, Saying He Gave the Store Away
Some Freedom Caucus members are saying they'll vote against the debt no-limit sellout, but it doesn't matter: There are enough "Big Government Republicans," one member says, who will vote with the Democrats to pass this.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) tamped down Republican opposition ahead of Wednesday's vote on the debt ceiling bill. "I'm confident we'll pass the bill," the California Republican told reporters on Tuesday. Ahead of the pivotal decision on the deal struck by McCarthy and President Joe Biden, the House Republican Conference met to discuss members' issues with the legislation, otherwise known as the Fiscal Responsibility Act. Some but not all members of the House Freedom Caucus have vented about how the bill does not do enough to tackle America's deficit problem. Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX), a member of the Freedom Caucus, urged his fellow Freedom Caucus members to "cut it out." Two Freedom Caucus members, Reps. Dan Bishop (R-NC) and Chip Roy (R-TX), have vocally opposed the debt ceiling deal as have others. Bishop floated using the motion to vacate, a parliamentary procedure to remove the speaker, over the debt ceiling. Roy said on Tuesday that conservatives would have to "figure out the whole leadership arrangement again" in a veiled threat against McCarthy. However, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the Judiciary Committee chairman and a Freedom Caucus member, said that ousting McCarthy over the debt ceiling deal was a "terrible idea."Is it all bad? No, just mostly. Thomas Massie, who is usually someone I trust, says that at least it cuts some spending. He also spotlights part of the agreement which returns the House to regular order, in which they have to vote on 12 separate appropriations bills instead of suspending regular order to vote on some huge "omnibus spending bill" that almost always is just the previous omnibus spending bill plus bonus money for the government, because it's been doing such a good job recently. We've been passing omnibus spending bills now since... well like since 9/11. If Congress does pass an omnibus spending bill, the agreement is that that budget will automatically be cut 1%. But... can't they just increase the spending in that budget by another 1% so that when they "cut" the 1%, it's the amount they wanted all along?
Massie wrote on Tuesday, "I've been in Congress for a decade and this is the first real bill that cuts spending. It also includes an automatic 1% cut to spending on January 1 if Congress doesn't pass the 12 appropriations bills."

A vote to increase the debt limit is a vote to
Increase Inflation
Reduce your standard of living
Increase the price of groceries
Reduce the middle class
Is anyone in the GOPe actually pointing this out?

One thing I can't get over is how ineffectual the Freedom Caucus always is. Whether under Bush or Trump, nothing they do really influences politics. It really puts their membership in perspective.
In 2024, the side calling for austerity to pay back the bankers will lose. Huge. Ideally, the President will negotiate down the payments while trimming the debts. Or repudiate them entirely, as plan B.

Not cutting the 87,000 new IRS agents is what I'm most pissed about. Talk about low hanging fruit, I bet 80% of americans oppose this.
The House control the purse strings and we cant even "not" hire all these new deep staters to audit everyone?
McCarthy is Trump's guy, so not surprised he can't cut a deal.
Even Paul Ryan got more out of Obama.

The settlement of the debt ceiling problem, which has now been achieved is, in my view, only the prelude to a larger settlement in which all Americans may find fiscal stability. This morning I had another talk with the American President, Herr Biden, and here is the paper which bears his name upon it as well as mine [shows Fiscal Responsibility Act to crowd]. Some of you, perhaps, have already heard what it contains but I would just like to read it to you: [political word salad ensues]
My good friends, for the second time in our history, a GOP-e Speaker has returned from the Democrat-controlled White House bringing Fiscal Responsibility with honour. I believe it is Fiscal Responsibility for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Go home and get a nice quiet sleep.

You need trillions in spending cuts just to get back to the bloated pre-COVID levels
And here we might be getting...1% reduction? Err...thanks guys.
But honestly if they aren't going to save the country and just say no to any more debt spending cuts don't matter.
The focus then should be onerous tax increases on leftwing interest groups. If there was a serious oppostion party we'd be taking about the abortion tax, the solar panel tax, the electric car tax and so on then paired with hand outs to conservative interest groups. Billions to Gun Owners of America for "gun safety classes", cash bounties for turning in illegals, cash payouts for people injured by the clot shot etc.

Who was the democrat who said "Just pass this one and let's work on getting rid of the debt limit entirely" or some such.
He's got the right idea...stop fronting and just admit we is in debt and keep growing it until to pops.
The debt limit bull crap is just smoke and mirrors to make people feel better about their greed and theft.

Welp, the Arctic ice cover now is the same as it was on this date - in 2004.
This isn't hysterical enough, so someone has come up with a new measure - combining the Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets for a new, scary fact:
current global ice extent is the lowest on record for today's date...
The historical average for today is about 23 million square kilometers, and today is about 21 million square kilometers.
Scary!
Fortunately, the guy doing this cut off the bottom of the graph to make things look even worse:

>>>There's always "just enough" to do what needs to be done. Like magic. Sometimes it's 13 Big Government Republicans. Sometimes it's just one unlucky thumbs down.
In a twisted way, the lion's share of my contempt goes to the GOPers who vote against "deals" like these because they know it's safe to do so. Of course it's hard to know which ones those are, as opposed to those doing so from genuine opposition, which fuels my ire.

The so-called "Freedom Caucus" made a lot of noise about getting juicy appointments to key committees. They claimed they'd be in a position to "shake things up."
What they really wanted, and apparently got was just better seats at the grift table.
That's it. That's all anyone in the GOP wants. What you want is irrelevant.

Congress became irrelevant a long time ago - a divided house and senate is doubly irrelevant. What they say and the votes they take ate meaningless theater. The best most brilliant bills couldn't change our ultimate destination, and the worst bills will just speed up the day of reckoning, which I'm fine with. So why bother caring about thr nonsense bills they pass.

So for the first time in 28 years, the Judiciary Committee held a roll-call vote for a U.S. Attorney nominee. The result was an 11-to-11 tie. Rachael Rollins's nomination then moved on to a final vote in the full Senate. Her final confirmation vote was a 50-50 party-line tie. Harris then broke the tie for confirmation, and Rollins became U.S. Attorney on a 51-50 vote.
Republicans warned Democrats that they were buying trouble. "This is a vote you are going to regret," Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said to Democrats. Now, Cruz's words have come true.
On May 19, after just one year and four months in office, Rollins resigned when two investigations, one by the Justice Department Office of Inspector General and the other by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, outlined extensive misconduct. Basically, the reports showed that Rollins abused her power for political purposes in the supposedly nonpolitical position of U.S. attorney.

Hamas denounces the Pride Parade in Jerusalem tomorrow, calling it “a provocative march of perverts.”
In a statement, a spokesperson for the Gaza-ruling terror group calls on Palestinians to go to confront marchers “in defense of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.”
Oh, the media's heads will explode if that goes off. I hope it does now.

On May 19, after just one year and four months in office, Rollins resigned when two investigations, one by the Justice Department Office of Inspector General and the other by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, outlined extensive misconduct. Basically, the reports showed that Rollins abused her power for political purposes in the supposedly nonpolitical position of U.S. attorney.

Sooo.... The 17 year old girl spawn decided to get her hair cut. It was straight, jet black and almost to her waist. She was saying shoulder length and purple highlights. Stylist told her the highlight would be nearly impossible without serious damage to her hair. Scratch the highlights. We left the salon with her hair cut in a nice smooth chin length bob. She looks awesome.
In other news... I have two old 1970s lawn chairs. I had three. You know the type, Aluminum frame, folds in half, has the webbing and plastic arm rests. I was taking a break from painting,, sitting in one of these chairs, went to get up and bang! Plastic arm rests broke and I fell, folded in the chair. My back still hurts and the scrape on my arm is annoying. I really think plastic should last more than 50 years.

heard an interesting interview on the radio yesterday re Ken Paxton
The interviewee was repub Texas State rep Steve Toth who voted against Paxton's impeachment. He said the 20 accusations were either laughable, untrue or totally meaningless. He believes the person most responsible for the Paxton hate is Karl Rove and it dates back the 2014 race for Texas Attorney General when Paxton beat Rove's candidate soundly. Rove had dropped another $400k into the race in the last week while his candidate Dan Branch was down 20 points and he has never gotten over it.
He cited several of the allegations and proved how stupid they were. It was the Texas Freedom Caucus members who voted against it.

Non-defense discretionary spending ($941B) is 15% of the total ($6.2T) 2023 budget. It's obscene that our politicians and media wring their hands over this debt ceiling nonsense like it means something. It's a bad reboot of a bad remake of a bad West Wing episode. Year after year after year again.

Apparently he's a soi boi who the FNM is trying to get to admit he's gay.
They harassed him so much he claimed he was open to kissing a guy but not having sex with one...which got the FNM in a bigger uproar claiming that's a clear sign of anti-gay hate.
Its almost comical.
That being said Swift should be forced to date Lena Dunham. She's earned it.

Even DU morons (lowercase "m") can see through the failure theater.
The freedumb caucus doesn't want to stop the bill. They want to be seen as trying to stop it (and failing), so they can run for re-election in their districts about their selfless, gallant attempt to stop China and the Biden administration. Their nitwit supporters will buy whatever excuse the Freedumb Caucus sells them, and they'll get to keep getting their monthly social security and SNAP benefits while complaining about the big bad gummint.
Biden won't claim debt ceiling win, because he must play the owned lib. The CBO scores show that President Biden bested McCarthy badly in this deal but President Biden is not taking a victory lap until this bill is on his desk to be signed.
“Look, one of the things that I hear some of you guys saying is, ‘Why doesn’t Biden say what a good deal it is?’” Biden said on the South Lawn of the White House. “Why would Biden say what a good deal it is before the vote? You think that’s going to help me get it passed? No. That’s why you guys don’t bargain very well.....

I know politics isn't beanbag, but Trump's statements and ads are just tone-deaf.
Agree. But the people defending him are religious in their unwillingness to say "maybe that wasn't a good idea". No, Trump must always be right.

Democrats held off negotiating until now. Senate Republicans did nothing and seemed to be smoking dope the entire time. Now, that the country got placed under the gun, McCarthy became a minority partner where the the two other partners with 1/3 ownership interests controlled the minority.
Republicans expect it to be Morning in America after making one deal. But it is a constant battle against Democrat Insurrectionists.

I also think he conceded too much: the debt ceiling is raised right away, so Biden has no worry for the next 2 years. Republicans are neutralized.
On the other hand, reining in spending is just a promise, which will be renegotiated when the time comes.
Probably Democrats will try (and succeed) to pass some spending bills that somehow won't count against the limit. Republicans will be glad to compromise again when everyone will no longer care.
Who will remember, except for a few masochistic people who follow such news? How will the public even know that the deal was broken? The budget is complicated and they'll find a plausibly deniable way.
Few people care about government spending enough to do their own research and of course Republicans won't remind people of their (willing) failure. Nobody will lose elections because of it. The situation is under control.
It's a shell game.

Of course. I would only support a national sales tax if it came along with a constitutional amendment establishing it, setting a maximum rate (I would think 10% should be satisfactory), outlawing all other domestic taxes, and explicitly stating that the tax applies only to new goods and services.
Which will never happen. So no, I don't support a national sales tax because I know how these people operate.

Who will remember, except for a few masochistic people who follow such news? How will the public even know that the deal was broken? The budget is complicated and they'll find a plausibly deniable way.
Few people care about government spending enough to do their own research and of course Republicans won't remind people of their (willing) failure. Nobody will lose elections because of it. The situation is under control.
It's a shell game.

I wouldn't take any Dem votes for granted. When the rules package passed for the debt relief celing, the vote was 7-6. Not a single Dem vote FOR the rules. Several Republicans voted with the Dems.

Most people want the comfort of validation for their own beliefs and for that reason you get projection of what other people should believe and feel.
There was a study recently where they brought in people from the street and showed them a page of lines of various lengths and asked them to name the longest. And...as you might imagine with such an easy task they got it all right.
Then they had them do it as a group and added ringers to claim that one of the shorter lines was in fact the longest. And...most of the real volunteers went along with it and claimed the same.
They asked the real volunteers later why they picked what they knew was NOT the longest line and they said basically, they didn't want to disagree with the group even if the group was clearly wrong.

Because it used to be only the Left who would allude to what Trump said without actually quoting it.
I mean Trump can get very very nasty without even blinking. How nasty did he get with "loyal" Kayleigh who works for Foxweiser?

I don't pretend to know a thing about McEnany's loyalties. If she genuinely has defected from Trump to DeSantis, or to the Fox corporate empire, then no, I would not say Trump has an obligation to play nice.
But we are talking about a woman who took a serious amount of flak defending Trump during his presidency, and I'd like to think that for old times' sake, his tweets about her would be at least somewhat civil.

Even Reagan mostly stuck to persuading people towards normalcy, as opposed to think tank ideas. If he came up with a national sales tax, it wouldn't matter what other sweeteners came with it. He might not have lost the 1980 election, but he might not have won either.
Donald Trump mostly did a good job because he was about normalcy. Fairer trade, lower taxes, sane cultural policy, ending Roe. Not six week abortion bans and sales taxes.

If I'm playing devil's advocate....if McEnany misreported the poll numbers, and *if* there was reason to think she had done so deliberately, to understate the level of support for Trump, then I can kinda sorta see why he reacted.
But regardless, it was a pointless, gratuitous thing to do, as most people will only remember her as his press secretary and see it as a cheap shot on his part. Putting aside the Trump v DeSantis question, there was just no tangible political advantage to be wrung from this.

I love Kayleigh and have since her Red Eye days. I don't want to see Trump attack her. But there is attacking and there is attacking and then there is attacking in kind.
What people don't grasp is that I despise ALL elected Republicans. I tolerate/like Trump because he gave us a three year break from the madness and did so almost single handedly. He kept the SC from falling into the hands of people who will ban speech, religion and guns before taking their first breath in a robe.
Someone doesn't get that, it's not my problem. Fuck Ron DeSantis until he proves he's not a traitor like every other Republican fuck.
I mean DeSantis people act as if the only traitors were the ones in Trump's sphere! Like they haven't ALL shivved us eventually. If Ron is a savior and not a convenient party splitter it will come out in the wash.

Yeah, vote against the debt ceiling bill, watch the financial markets tank, and, the cherry on top, make a vacate the chair motion to remove the Speaker. Nihilists. At least Mike Pence supports the Freedom Caucus.

None of that would be bad news. A dose of reality and pain right now would be better than catastrophic collapse later.
But we'll get collapse, of course. That is the way it usually goes.

"Failure theater is a finely-honed skill."
I'd rather have Biden ride a unicycle dressed as a clown in exchange for raising the debt ceiling. That would be funnier than the current solemn promises and reassurances. *This* is not funny.
If the deal is for two years, then some number of current congresspeople cannot be held responsible for it, since their term is for 2 years also. The rest can blame those who did not get reelected. Surely such thoughts have occurred to at least some of them.

Most political consultants hire out this task to content farms abroad. Some are domestic supporters of one candidate or the other and cite crap like Conservative Media TM content, Mass Media garbage, or PR talking point releases from campaigns.

At some point even ardent Trumpians have to admit his mood swings are getting worse, likely intentional to stay on top of the news cycle, but worrying nonetheless. I will rationally cast my vote for him over Biden, but Jebus, I didn't think we would relive Humphrey/Nixon so quickly.

They certainly tried, but in that case mail-in fraud would have been sufficient to steal the election, instead of 2AM fraud.
In terms of surviving everything but obvious kangaroo courts, I've never seen anything like it. Even Reagan had Iran-Contra.

@174: "Trump's new scare ads are that DeSantis wanted to replace the IRS with a national sales tax, women and blacks hardest hit."
The video ad shows the word "replace" but doesn't say it in voiceover, and online still image ads omitted the word completely, which gives impression that a national sales tax was in addition to current income taxes. Trump's tweets on Truth and reposted on Twitter by his campaign never use the word "replace" either. They were pushing the same scare tactic / sleight of hand just a few hours ago today.

Hence my earlier comment. IMO, Trump's best course of action would have been to say something like "Great new poll showing me up by 34 (not 25 as the [insult of your choice] at Fox News claimed)! MAGA 2024 [or something to that effect]!" That was as far as he needed to go; it would have conveyed some impression of his current political strength.
Again, I say that whether or not McEnany is a "backstabber," calling her out by name and implying that she is a globalist RINO and a nobody, when everyone knows she was his press secretary and often got very feisty defending him, achieved less than nothing from the perspective of his political future.

Secondly, the more RDS fans say "Trump is a cult" the more the MAGA base (at least 50% of the party) will tell you to sit on it.

I really don't if Trump is nominated or not. I barely care, should he be nominated, if he gets elected.
That being said, the vibe I'm getting is he doesn't seem to be approaching this any differently than he did 2016, and I think that would be a huuuuuge mistake.

But regardless, it was a pointless, gratuitous thing to do, as most people will only remember her as his press secretary and see it as a cheap shot on his part. Putting aside the Trump v DeSantis question, there was just no tangible political advantage to be wrung from this.

Dr. T,
Quite humbly, most people do not give one iota of care what the politically attuned are saying about this or that. Quite frankly, ideologues (in the sense of firm opinions as to candidate preferences) are the only ones paying attention to the GOP race right now because simply put, too much is going on in personal lives and other news.
The traditional kickoff to prezzie primary season is after Labor Day and things do not get really serious until about December or so.

Absolutely untrue. Our house is littered with men who seemed loyal and conservative but broke when the rubber met the road. Remember Jeff Sessions? I'm listing one of 10,000. Others can name others. To say otherwise is just sillyworld.
To pretend it's not useful for "someone" to fight the conservative fight and find himself in a legitimate position to challenge Donald Trump for the presidency is just not reasonable. The Left plays game longer than that and so does the purported Right.

>>If Ron is a savior and not a convenient party splitter it will come out in the wash.
My main criticisms with The Meatball is that he was already a pointless useless, Charter F**king Member of The Freedom Caucus.
He bailed on congress because, let's face it, it's as useless pile of dog shit and with a major backing and support from Trump, beat a crackhead to become Governor, where he has preformed as expected with a mostly on board legislature.
Another bone of contention I have with him and that dick f**k Rick Scott, is that they literally had to fight attempts to steal their elections, they then worked to clean up Florida elections but for some reason, have not supported Trump in his claims of election Fraud. Hmmm, why is that?
Throw in the fact he's a Yale/Harvard/MIC/JAG guy and I do not fully trust a man of that pedigree.
And him acting as if Trump doesn't and never existed as a thing and doesn't feel like he is beneath engaging him, reveals himself to be a an unthankful, rotten shit weasel.
That being said, if he were somehow to win the nomination, doubtful, I would crawl over broken glass to vote for the bastard.

If I'm not mistaken, we haven't had an actual traditional budget since 2008.
None of this matters. Fiscally, the US has been a dead man walking since at least the early 2000's. We will default in some form or other, officially or not.

I have no quarrel with the people who still want Trump for '24. I think their analysis is wrong, but fine. I could be the one who's mistaken. Maybe DeSantis would turn out to be a disappointment on the national level.
What bothers me (and I'm not accusing anyone here of it) is the people who say that if Trump's not the nominee, they're not voting at all (or even voting for Biden), because the implication is that he's literally the only patriot/defender of Heritage America as far as politicking goes; that literally no one else, no matter what they say or do, should be given the time of day. A, that's out of touch with reality, and B, if it wasn't, then we might as well give up now, because there's no way we can win with only one guy on our side.

>>And how many other GOP governors are performing as expected rather than cucking out to Big Tranny or cowering in fear of the media saying something unkind? At this point, "performing as expected" is the exception.
The fact that he is preforming as we like is a low bar of entry, and as I said, there is no rationale for him to run in 24 while Trump is on the field of battle.
And the manner in which he is running is unmanly.
Be better Meatball, be better.

358 What bothers me (and I'm not accusing anyone here of it) is the people who say that if Trump's not the nominee, they're not voting at all (or even voting for Biden), because the implication is that he's literally the only patriot/defender of Heritage America as far as politicking goes; that literally no one else, no matter what they say or do, should be given the time of day. A, that's out of touch with reality, and B, if it wasn't, then we might as well give up now, because there's no way we can win with only one guy on our side.

It hasn't been actually balanced in my lifetime, if you take into account unfunded liabilities.

Trump is a compromise/coalition candidate. The issues(largely fiscal discipline) we're giving up are relatively clear.
Now you might say we can do better without coalitioning with union-types, but you'd actually have to make a case for some other sort of coalition partner.

The illusion is that an election will make a difference. This is an illusion that I have been laboring under for a large part of my adult life (I am in my late '60's).
I've been wrong, as have most of us.
The best we can do is try to plan and take care of those we care about. It's too late to save the country.
I'll vote, but really, it won't change the outcome now.
The America I knew, the country I was born in, is gone. We are in some kind of transition to a new, more authoritarian state, and most of use will be much worse off in a few years. Ron DeSantis is a good guy, he's not a villain. Donald Trump has literally risked his life to stay in the US and try to fight this. They, the people who really are running things, want Trump and all his family dead or in prison.

The DC swamp is basically impenetrable right now, anyway. We need a broad-based revolt: the Bud Light effect on steroids, not just economic revolt, but a cultural arising that destroys the foundations of this ever-failing pseudo "elite."
P.s. why are RD fans obsessed with Trump? Trump and his "cult" is seemingly all they ever talk about. They hardly ever talk about, I don't know . . . why RD would be a good president. Yes, we know that Trump started it with RD and that TRUMP himself talks a lot about RD. I'm asking RD fans why THEY rarely talk about RD and only talk about Trump.

A source familiar with Wray’s early-afternoon call with Comer (R-Ky.) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told The Post that the FBI chief confirmed the existence of an FD-1023 informant file from June 2020 accusing Biden of bribery and offered the lawmakers “in camera review” of the document.
The FBI had refused to share the document following a legally binding May 3 subpoena from Comer, which the chairman said Tuesday he would enforce with contempt proceedings against Wray.
Comer does not believe that the offer of in-camera review is sufficient to comply with the subpoena, the source said, indicating that the document standoff will continue as GOP leaders press for public disclosure of both the allegation and information about what the FBI did to review the claim.

Dr. T,
Quite humbly, most people do not give one iota of care what the politically attuned are saying about this or that. Quite frankly, ideologues (in the sense of firm opinions as to candidate preferences) are the only ones paying attention to the GOP race right now because simply put, too much is going on in personal lives and other news.
The traditional kickoff to prezzie primary season is after Labor Day and things do not get really serious until about December or so.
Posted by: whig at May 31, 2023 03:46 PM (wUSgb)
Eh, I agree and I don't. There's ideologues and then there's ideologues. We're a subset of a subset; the politically-engaged types who not only know who McEnany is to begin with, but also have the time/interest to dig up the history of her association with Trump. In my view, those who just remember her name and previous occupation outnumber those willing to do a deep dive, and I don't think Trump's tweet about her will play well with them. That's why I say it yielded no advantage as far as his campaign goes.
But yeah, nothing this far out will have any permanent effects.

Well, more like the mail in voting operations are so porous that they allow for the powers that be in places like PA, AZ, MI, and GA to simply manufacture as many votes as possible. It doesn't matter if more Republicans vote.

I guess that depends what he means. Couldn't we withhold harvested votes and submit them late enough to screw with the Ds?
Might be possible for practices established this cycle to benefit 2026 and 2028 though.

"377 Going back to pre-industrial times is the WEF wet dream, and I have little confidence in the ability of Trump, DeSantis or any other politician to prevent this.

Oh agreed. But then, mitigating the situation will help a lot. Financiers and their puppets uphold the WEF, and one solution is certainly a nice BBQ.
It will be nearly impossible to uphold Information Age prosperity, but the past few years might have shown what happens when the banksters weaken. Elite part organs start having layoffs, regime enforcers go crazy, etc. Ideally China will pull away the carpet, at which point the blue states will devour themselves.
Get ready.

WEF goal isn't pre-industrial, it's post-industrial. Automation is intended to replace quite a bit of labor; they just need enough peasants to make up the rest and provide a suitable underclass to lord it over.

China *has* been pulling away the carpet for their would-be African vassal states recently. I think some of it's for geopolitical advantage and some of it's because they genuinely need the money to prop up Joe Biden, but either way it's interesting.
Also, the WEF types have openly stated 7.5 billion people need to die in order to achieve utopia. How the fuck do they expect there to be any kind of supply chain or utility grid if that happens?

Also, all the companies that make their logos rainbow is a good list.

There's a lot of competition out there.
And on topic, this is what we all expected of McCarthy.
This is who he is, and in reality, this is who a lot of Republicans are. And, it was totally symptomatic that Boehner endorses this mess.

I'm asking RD fans why THEY rarely talk about RD and only talk about Trump.

Well, Ace of Spades threads fill up fast and furiously, so maybe I missed all these examples of RD fans commenting about RD, but then I must have had terrible luck missing all these comments, kind of like a reverse Mr. Magoo.

McCarthy has assured apathy if not opposition in general to ' R' candidates in the next election.
With this budget deal Mrs Frank Luntz is solidifying the perception of the 'R's as only controlled opposition.

"California Republican" is the key to why this "more" spending bill is being put forward for a vote. Until the Republican Party axes all of the GOPe, remember the "e" stands for establishment, we will continue to be raped and savaged by the Marxist Democratic Party.

Yeah, I'm late to the thread, and didn't read the 415 comments to see if this has been mentioned...
Why does the House need to include in a 'deal' the step of going back to regular order and passing 12 appropriations bills instead of an omnibus?
You are the House, you control this process with your simple majority. If you pass these individual appropriations, the Senate will (eventually) have to deal with them as passed, as will the White House.
You. Don't. Have. To. Ask. Permission.
