GOP House attempts to elect a Speaker (former Jim Jordan thread)

Both sidesism? Show us a similar post when Republicans were in power and the board won't think you are full of it. I'll bet you weren't singing the same song under Trump.

 

Btw, here's my reply to your Hebrew post (it got held up for mod review):


Perhaps. But let's be clear here--the hatred which may consume me is directed at terrorists, not Jews or Israelis.

Shalom.

Clearly you don't know me.

You probably won't like me anyway, but I doubt it will be bc you find me Anti-Semitic.

 

I said GOP VOTERS at least have tried different things, including TEA party and Trump.

Dems not only refuse to try anything different, they openly advocate BIGGER GOVT, MORE SPENDING.

...and yes, I was quite vocal against the spending orgy on covid shut down.

3.7 TRILLION in one month????

That's more than all Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined, PLUS the bail out that gave birth to the TEA party.

That was also like 10 TRILLION dollars ago...

We're over 31 Trillion national debt now!

 

@Gator40

Stalk much?

 

I don't @ you when you do the same to me. Move along, you're a train wreck.

 

Aleichem shalom.

The problem with your post is that the US government gives Israel BILLIONS and BILLIONS. $100 million is token aid to help the suffering of a few. I long for true peace for my people. The fear of attack hangs like a dark cloud even on clear sunny days. I see posts like yours and I clearly see someone taking advantage of a terrible tragedy to further your own political gain. Where were you when the Nazis were picketing Disney or in Jacksonville. Did you post then? Or is this just convenient for you now just to attack the current administration?

 

You don't @ me huh? Lol!

Nah, you just stalk me and give me neg ratings, pitching a hissy fit bc I dinged just on of yours! LMAO!

Nazis picketing while extremely distasteful, is a far cry from the atrocities that were committed on 10/7.

What has set me off with the 10/7 case isn't political opportunitism (there is plenty to diss Biden about)--it was the shear brutality of it, compounded with the ubiquitous, overt, in your face celebrating of it on univ. campuses, big US cities, and around the world.

It. Was. A. TERRORIST. ATTACK.

.Think of me what you will, but that is what has set me off, and I'm still seething.

You seem like a good person. You are able to muster much greater sensitivity for ppl who want to exterminate you and your ppl, than I can, for ppl who sympathize with them.

I'm just not wired that way. I guess I make a poor Christian (a perpetual work in progress...).

 

You underestimate my people. After 1000's of years of brutality, there is much anger in our veins.

Maybe this will surprise you or maybe not.

Christians are in danger under Israeli government, says Holy Land patriarch

Where were you when we were shouting "Death to the Christians!"

There is a Sun Tzu quote to be applied here.

TEA Party to "Trump"?!? Trump was not trying to stop this "crazy train". Our gov under Trump was increasing amount of our annual deficit YOY. Under trump our gov was up to around $1T national deficit.....before covid. This was a increase from the Obama admin.

If maga supposedly cares about the debt, vote for Nikki Haley. So far she is the only one aggressively campaigning about going after our debt issue and she is calling out BOTH Political Parties to task. And I agree - it is bad, but it is both sides.

 

Not the point nor the assertion.

I'm saying we had a loaded candy pool. Trump prevailed bc no one believed the establishment candies anymore.

Too many decades of voting for Republicans, but electing Democrats. (they'd campaign on fiscal responsibility, then get transformed into swamp creatures).

TBL--rep voters keep trying different approaches (now with Gaetz getting kmac removed, bc he doubled back on his promise to scale back spending by joining Dems in getting omnibus orgy passed).

Seriously--what the hell else can we do? Vote for dems, who flat out tell you they want to spend more, and deliver magnificently on those promises???

 

That post was dripping with obvious sarcasm.

 

Again, I think you are misplacing the poster’s anger towards the Hamas murderers with a misunderstanding of sarcasm, which would be far more clear of you knew the poster ‘s posting history.

 

It is clear the US government needs to be reformed. Its too corrupt, and historically barely functional. Now it is in gridlock and doesnt provide anything to in citizens.

Im fine with no speaker, I think the Senate, SC and Executive needs to be reexamined as well. Maybe a little chaos now and then is healthy.

 

Not all that surprising considering that Jordan's most prominent supporter and the real leader of the Republican Party behaves like a mob boss.

 

I get your frustration about our dysfunction. On the other hand, the American people are pretty divided. Maybe it's not the worst thing that neither party and no single person can get much done unless and until there's a broader consensus on the path forward. This is just my rare and lame attempt to be optimistic.

 

You threw the hissy fit first babes by posting a special personal message for me like some groomer.

Don't be wrong all the time and you'll be fine.

You sure are touchy...
