Rep. Chip Roy, a Texas Republican no less, has openly questioned whether the GOP deserves to keep the House majority because they have been unable to govern in any meaningful way. Of course, many uninformed righties will blame Democrats which is both dishonest and a lie – Democrats were, and are, willing to pursue sound, responsible governance which is entirely opposed by Republicans. Worse, Republicans’ do-nothing obstructionism is intended to prevent President Biden from realizing legislative victories even if those victories further the agenda of Republicans. It is insane what has happened to the House GOP. The Senate remains the adult wing of the GOP but even it is eroding. ‘It’s embarrassing’: Republicans worry they have no achievements to run on in 2024 ‘When Congress began the new year, Rep. Andy Biggs gave a television interview and made a startling confession: House Republicans have done nothing they can run on. “We have nothing. In my opinion, we have nothing to go out there and campaign on,” the Arizona Republican said on the conservative network Newsmax. “It’s embarrassing.” Anchor Chris Salcedo responded with a bemused chuckle. “I know,” he said. “The Republican Party in the Congress majority has zero accomplishments.” The exchange captured a dynamic that looms over Republican lawmakers heading into the 2024 election: They’ve passed little substantive legislation since winning the majority in 2022 and struggled to do the basics of governing with a Democratic-led Senate. Their first year was instead marked by fractiousness and chaos, complicating the party’s pitch to voters this fall. The challenge is accentuated by likely GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump making “retribution” against his enemies, rather than shared policy goals, the centerpiece of his comeback bid as he continues to spread fabricated claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him.’
LOL, 'to govern' now equals spend as much of the taxpayers money as humanly possible...gridlock is our friend.
interesting. Didn’t know Chip Roy and Andy Biggs were Senators. What else did you learn from your Joy Reid podcast ?
Is it true Jim Jordan does NOTHING for his constituents in terms of legislation? I hear the guy only chases after Hunter and spends his every waking moment on smear campaigns against Democrats and how to fragment our society, instead of doing his job.
Reading comprehension alert: I never claimed either was a Senator nor do I know what a Joy Reid podcast is. However, I do find your post entirely evasive on the subject. I mentioned the Senate because they have at least pushed forward a few bills that died in the House.
Neither party has done anything of consequence since the 80s when the last of the greatest generation left the workforce and government. Since then, it's been tax cuts x3, acquisition reform, Obama care, and bailouts x3. Other than that, every year congress doesn't pass a budget on time, investigates the other party 24x7x365, and leaves major problems unfunded or unresolved. The American people deserve it...
First of all Biden does not even know where the border is. He is just doing and saying what he is told unless he gets off course and then who knows what he is thinking. Nothing good was done about the border until they needed to make a show for the next election.
Because that is my opinion from watching him try to walk and talk on tv when he is at his best. No way the man should be the President of this country.
No way you’ve ever watched an entire Biden speech. I bet everything you’ve seen is a clip on TikTok or twitter. He’s an old dude, and not my first pick, but he knows where he is and doesnt wander confused like you seem to think.
Well we can disagree on old dude. My mother is 94 and her mind and body work better than his. You lose your bet also as I don't do TikTok or twitter. I have seen a few short clips from the sports forums here where someone post a clip from twitter but that is about it. I am older myself at 65 and have voted every election since I was 18. I am not sure anyone will run this time that I would cast a vote for. I know it will not be Biden no matter who runs against him and for more reasons than his mental state. I think he has been a snake long before he was old.
Take off the blinders. Biden’s “root causes” immigration policy was completely miscalculated and he and his administration turned the whole situation into a complete disaster.
So apparently you would consider this to be a good result since it's a direct consequence of gridlock. US to consider mass release of detained migrants over budget woes ICE Considers Slashing Detention Capacity Because of Budget Shortfall
So in contrast " governance " is a bunch of monkeys swinging from the rafters throwing shit at each other as they oppose actual governance?
