Mike Lorts. Your post #8855 came across as slightly snarky, BUT, I get it. I'm on board with you if you can possibly imagine that. One thing missing from your post is that Mr. Biden still owns a pen and can veto damned near anything the Republican House passes IF it ever gets to his desk. Just about the only thing a Republican House can do alone is write decent bills (IF that's even possible) and pass them up the line and try to work within the so-called "power of the purse" that belongs to the House. If Biden and the Senate shoots them down, at least the "R's" can say in 2024 is.....See? Here's what we tried to do for the country and we were outnumbered by that veto pen. Politics is a dirty game and I hate it.
I am....right at this moment...embarrassed with and disgusted by the Republican House members as they (not to be redundant) shoot themselves in the foot AGAIN! Politics makes me sick. I'm disgusted by the "R" House members and Trump at the same time. However, the overall policies of the "R's" and Trump coincide with my beliefs. But, I abhor the process.
Right now all "D's" are laughing at "us." You know who else is? China, Russia, Iran, No. Korea, half the Middle East and the cartels to the South.....not to mention some of our so-called allies. I believe they ALL see the United States as a paper tiger and that does NOT sit well with me.
Right now we are in a situation with the current numbers in the House that ANY 5 House members can hold up progress and blackmail the leadership to do....whatever. That, as you know, is not the way this train is supposed to run.
In conclusion: Politics is a numbers game. First, get the numbers (in the House) and then grind out compromises behind the scenes. This game being played by 5 to 20 Republicans is the wrong path. I will compare this to the Border Crisis. FIRST, secure the damned border and then figure out what to do with all of the illegal aliens who are in the country....BUT stop the INVASION!
AMERICA FIRST!! SECURE THE BORDER!! ELECT A SPEAKER!!
