#GOP #Debt #Biden
Vote every single Republican out of office. Every. single. One. This is getting effing ridiculous. Clearly they do not want to govern, they just want to play games.
Trump’s problem
Republican’s not “gettin’er done”. Nothing new!
Gaetz sure has a big mouth.
Republicans hold the floor in the do-nothing / know even less House, now representing no American.
Forget about bipartisan. Those clowns can’t even work with each other.
This is maga. They don’t know how to govern, just cause chaos like their stupid Dear Leader.
Clowns in cheap suits … 🤡
How to hold the country hostage? I present you the GOP
GROW UP and DO YOUR JOBS!! I am so sick of these clowns do everything BUT what they were voted in to do. I miss a government that I wasn’t embarrassed by almost daily.
Are they going to vote to outlaw the green m&m? 🤣
This will make Trump even more popular. He ran on draining the swamp. Again elected officials are choosing not to do their job. Grandstanding at its best.
These people are pure evil, it’s time to throw them out. They are destroying our great country.
Biden playing them like a fiddle. They are splitting and cannot get anything done. This happens when you elect totally unqualified idiots. They will be besten in 2024 as will trump and the 10 pipers piping so far in race they split repub votes trump wins primary then in general the 7 million votes he lost by in 22 will look small, if he is not in jail. Hooked wagon to loons like trump geotz mtg boebert, you are going to go down in flames. Repubs will need a decade to reinvent itself into a party that can actually govern not just howl at the moon.
The clown show continues. Vote these fools out.
George Soros the Hungarian Billionaire immigrant is Biden’s and the Democratic Party’s Puppet Master and Dictator. The Biden Administration and the Federal Government are Riddled with George Soros Incompetent minions. Pure Media Scum.
Get out of your basement and start talking to real people, the people who tell you those things are the people who are trying to manipulate you.
@Asheron Windspear wow so sorry you can not Handle the Fact that the Democratic Party is Unpatriotic and Treasonous against the Citizens of the United States 🇺🇸. Arrogance only leads to ignorance. Thank you for your ignorant reply.
It is time vote every fascist Republican out of office, that’s all of them!
So no new healthcare plan then?
GOP fighting among them is actually a good thing for the rest of us.
Jesus if Matt Gaetz would stop things with underage girls he’d realize most Florida’s have electric stoves
All you can like is the challenge because you don’t have a plan Kevy-Kev.
The Repugnantbums governs like they are suppose to? When were they governing? When they held America hostage over the debt ceiling? When they all vote no on anything that would help Americans? A frickin stupid bill about saving gas stoves?!
So as of Friday June 8, 2023 the American people, meaning ALL of us have NO representation at all in the house of congress. Effectively we the people have NO voice. We need to look at who did this, why they did this and take the appropriate steps to handle it.
Fitting how republiclowns are holding their breaths until their faces turn blue. This is how everyone should vote in 2024. 🌊🌊🌊🌊
Foreign & domestic dark-money funding Trump-GOP explains GOP lawmakers devolving into America haters and their path to Autocracy [one man rule].
Impeding the house from conducting the people’s business is an impeachable offense. If you show up for work them tell your boss that you refuse to do your job, you get fired. I sick and tired of this.
This is not your father’s Republican party. MAGA fascists and racists holding America hostage.
Conservatism is the domination of a society by an autocracy, in general it’s a destructive system of inequality and prejudice that’s founded on deception and has no place in the modern world.
The Debt ceiling is done..they can just stay gone, now.
They do nothing, anyway..besides stink up the place. they pass no bills..they investigate lunatic conspiracy theories..
Contempt of Congress, goes to Garland..that’s just “a nothing burger/w extra lies.”
It is verified!!!
Well they haven’t done any work anyway so what’s the difference?
There are a handful of idiots — who like trump — act like 2-year-old spoiled brats not getting 100% of what THEY WANT. What people keep re — electing these idiots? Somewhere around kindergarten most kids learn to share, learn to wait their turn, learn how basic civil society works. Seems this group missed kindergarten — probably home schooled very badly.
Did MTG cry for respecting the House’ “decorum” again? 😂
Seriously, I always thought the theatrics in the British Parlament were ridiculous, but again, the English have nothing on you Americans.
For some of them this isn’t the first time they’ve refused to do their jobs because they weren’t on the popular side of a vote. Do your job you petty clowns.
Yes,tell that to the Democratic Prosecutors that are Refusing to do their Job and Prosecute Criminals instead they go after innocent United States 🇺🇸 Citizens. Every Democrat Controlled Community is Riddled with Criminals and Crime the Democratic Party supports.
No show no pay for all politician if they dont do their Job
Sounds like dereliction of duty to me .
I reached 65 last October, one of the EXTREMELY rare times imy life that I have totally agreed with Mitch McConnell. He actually said that there were going to be MAJOR problems with the House of Representatives for the next 2 years, it’s NOT because Republicans took it back, it’s because of WHO they elected to do it.
Like I said, he was right.
Whining babies cannot accept the majority vote on the debt ceiling deal and throw a tantrum a la January 6. Proof they don’t believe in Democracy.
These folks never came to Washington to be lawmakers they came with the pre election promise that they would have a large majority due to the Republican Party’s efforts to gerrymander every state to their values. 😢
But those people keep voting for them
Because it wasn’t already obvious that republicans have no plan and cannot pass any meaningful legislation.
Someone needs to slow down to neo-marxist communist, swamp creatures that identify as Democrats from wasting and swindling all of our taxpayer dollars back to themselves. Does anyone there know if the $5000000 the Ukraine sent to thel Biden family after the billion-dollar check was given to them to fire that prosecutor that was investigating burisma and Hunter Biden . What was the $5000000 just a monthly or annual installment to the Biden crime family. And was Barack Obama the (big guy) that got 10% off the top. Or was that referring to brain-dead Joe?
No governing from the maga insurrectionist. Just more mayham.
Seizure of properties in case of payment default. First lesson in economics studies.
Best job if you don’t want to work
Majority rule. They didn’t win. Done. It’s 10 people against nearly 500. Get rid of the 10 bad players. They do not get to hold up government. Ten people holding up government. Absurd.
So these GQP members are fighting hard against doing any work at all. Any one of us that did this would be fired and anyone that is in the house that refuses to do their jobs need to be removed or not get paid as they are not doing their jobs
This is what happens when people who never progressed morally or intellectually beyond puberty get elected to Congress.
I voted blue. Not my fault.
waah! Waah! Waah! What a bunch babies! They wanted to blow up the economy.
For God’s sake, vote out the Republicans! It becomes more obvious by the day that they do not care about working FOR the ppl. It’s all about revenge & retaliation with them. AND OUR TAXPAYER MONEY IS PAYING THEIR SALARIES…TO HOLD UP GOVERNMENT! 😡😡😡😡
Can ALL democtrats simply use these stupid actions by the Redumblicans in ads during the campaign trial. They should focus on the party and what they truly stand for.
The republican party is psychotic!
MAGAS ARE STILL TRYING TO TAKE AMERICANS HOSTAGE THIS IS JUST ANOTHER FORM OF DOMESTIC TERRORISM AND WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO ACT!
Wish we could just do away with those people
Instead of calling themselves “conservatives”, isn’t “angry, self-serving, criminally-inclined, reality fearing lunatics” more accurate?
Now all the maga republican need to be held accountable need to put a stop to all their bull enough is enough!!
Petulant children!
They are still saying Biden is trying to ban gas’s stoves!! But it is regulatory agencies merely warning or asthma and CANCER causing emissions requiring stricter regulation. House crazy causes is too angry to overrule the “Biden gas stove ban” that does not exist. You can not make this up. Too upset they could not destroy the economy vs incredible acts of cruelty.
And you geniuses have got Nukes.
Love how McCarthy says this is a challenge he embraces…reframing the fact he is dealing with oppositional-defiant adults who are being well paid but achieving nothing is not a brilliant approach. He is appallingly stupid. 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
Wait till these crazies shut down the government in October, they will basically hand the dems the house in 2024
LOL 😂😂😂😂 Kevin McCarthy soon to be the shortest one term speaker on History. LOL
Childish
I recall One of my earliest encounters with the children of ultra right wing extremists – repugs. As children, they were all taught, they were all sure that Adolph Hitler was “brilliant”. I knew it was not true but I knew they were the slow kids in the 4th grade. Today, they and their kind still believe that Hitler was brilliant. Phd or straight Ds – does not matter!
Democrats will fold because they’re republicans bought by lobbyists and corporate donors. NBC IS OWN BY CORPORATE INTERESTS. don’t expect truth or facts here. Just because you’re not Fox News or Newsmax, doesth not make you News.
GOP lawmakers brought business to a halt when they got the majority and ceded control to their radical minority. A bunch of spoiled brats that throw a tantrum when they don’t get their way 100%.
Matt never got hugged as a kid
Fake news selling propaganda for democrats everyone in America knows this. Let’s talk about democrats using fake news and the doj to attack their political opponents every day. They are traitors to this country.
So… they’re pouting? Is anyone really surprised?
Change is painful sometimes. They got the FBI to turn over the evidence. Why were they hiding it?
If they don’t work do not pay them…. SAVE Americans a few dollars.
Sounds like a mini coup. Who are they?
the Democrat party is in shambles and the republican party under current leadership is a disaster . Any Americans that aren’t prepared for 3rd world governance needs to hop to it our suffer the consequences …
I agree, too bad 90% of the country are so partisan.
I’m happy because no governing was actually happening anyway. Passing this Holy Crusade to Save the Freedom Gas Stove while Québec’s forests burn? Destroying the student loan debt forgiveness plan? These are not serious legislative efforts.
If they are not working those days, WHY are they getting paid for those days? They shouldnt
They were elected to protect our freedoms. WHY WOULD BIDEN BANN GAS STOVES? We do not want things put in bills deceptively.
They can all go home and stay there they do nothing for we the people.but spend tax money on other countries immigrants both replicans and Democrats our vote mean nothing they do what they want hate them all
Stop calling them lawmakers!
What’s new please tell us something we don’t know. The same for the past 25 years now.
Good they’re doing their job!!
Love how people who work from home in their living rooms want to criticize people that actually show up for work 👌🏻
In the days after the insurrection, nearly 250 companies suspended donations to members of the Sedition Caucus. Less than two years later, less than a third of those companies have kept their promises. Some resumed giving just months after the riot, highlighting the emptiness of their public stances. Other companies have only recently increased their giving, maybe because they think no one’s watching anymore, or because some political pundits anticipate that the Republican Party could regain control of one or both chambers of Congress.
“cradle of leadership.” Well, when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall. And it has fallen here; it has fallen. Makers of men; creators of leaders; be careful what kind of leaders you’re producin’ here. Scent of a Woman
I couldn’t imagine just goofing off at work, I mean this American public pay attention to the Congress at all? Because I guarantee if I went outside right now and talk to 50 people nobody knows about this BS. They are wasting tax money up there. They never get anything done. Why do they keep getting voted in office. Wow I’m so disappointed in both parties. They’re both disgusting. We need a new third-party. We need a fourth party. We need a fifth party. We need a lot more options but the Democrats and Republicans are so gross.!!!!
Impeach McCarty.
Thank God someone is finally standing up and taking action against these totalitarian Marxists!🇺🇲
Ithe house looks like children play ground American people do u see ur Republican leaders now? How childish and we pay these Republicans our tax money just look vote the Republicans out out.
Aww, GOP got their panties all bunched up over nothing. Very childish, do your job or resign.
GOP wasting time again and tax payer money. Sickening
cancel culture on full display
Green eggs and ham it’s time to read…. it’s become a clown show… TexiT🤢🤮🤮🤮
Is McCarthy the Speaker? Is Joe Biden president? Is Matt just a disgraced Congressman in Florida? This is politics choose your truth…choose your reality…choose where your soul resides…but for Christ’s sake don’t claim He doesn’t know what the truth is.
The Republican party has been hijacked by petulant children throwing tantrums. The “Freedom Caucus” will be the end of the GOP.
They are getting NOTHING done, just retaliatory investigations and tax cuts for the wealthy. Oh and cutting Veterans care money and food for hungry poor children.
McCarthy biggest challenge is his own stupidity and cowardice.
now votes? okay, no pay and now benefits. If they refuse to work, then they shouldn’t get the pay or benefits from their positions.
If you don’t play by my rules, I am taking my ball and going home. This is absurd, They need to grow up and get to work. Working with others is a life skill. If you can’t do that, you should not be in any adult job.
How about blocking their salaries and benefits? That would save some taxpayer $$$
Boom! You are now the defacto dictator of America, what do you do?
1. Reduce our armed forces and make our military a DEFENSE FORCE. Abolish foreign aid to all other nations
2. Seize the bank accounts of anyone who has more then a million dollars
3. Give citizens universal healthcare (funded by all aforementioned above) as I put a constitutional amendment all health concerns shall be taken care off by the government.
