That's worth a rec!

as an unelected foreigner.

House Republicans were willing to toe the Trump line when they killed the immigration bill during the campaign. But not when Musk's name and fingerprints were all over the budget bill.

Musk is positioning himself to take over MAGA leadership and replace Trump. Musk might have the backing of other wealthy Republicans, maybe even of Putin.

But it won't work if MAGAs in Congress defy him and refuse to accept him as their new leader. That creates disunity in the party.

He's been shunted aside it seems.

Nancy i understand. I’d guess the rest were either already home.

My Congressman Dwight Evans is on that list (he had a stroke this past spring) and Raul Grijalva had been undergoing cancer treatments.

A couple on there look like it was done "on principle" like Ted Lieu and Jasmine Crockett (who voted "present" ). Most of the rest were GOPers.

he was the one that we hoped could beat Ted Cruz. He's probably on winter break and I don't blame him at all. It was a merciless election here in TX.

I donated to Allred several times. It seems there are a bunch of west coast (D)s on the list too. I expect they may have figured there would be plenty of yay votes for passage of that latest version so they exited...

Meaning they left without bothering so they could do their own thing. The hell with everyone else.

Have the 170, plus all Dems in the house then the same uniting in senate, let it be known to the blobs that one more mention of primaries and cash support again, that they have their own power to primary those two out to face a lot of felony court dates waiting to proceed.
It’s called Impeachment. Stop the damn shakedown by these two assholes. Grow a damn spine and end them both. If they are sick of being kicked around like a Trump/Noem dog, kick the fuck back. 🪼🪼🪼🪱🪱🪱🐌🐌🐌🐛🐛🐛🪰🪰🪰🕷️🕷️🕷️🪳🪳🪳🐞🐞🐞🦟🦟🦟🦑🦑🦑
These invertebrates have much more courage and brains.
If one is impeached, do they and their wives lose all future benefits and cash flow?
Why not. We get fired all that goes away.

LOL at this - 🪼🪼🪼🪱🪱🪱🐌🐌🐌🐛🐛🐛🪰🪰🪰🕷️🕷️🕷️🪳🪳🪳🐞��🐞🦟🦟🦟🦑🦑🦑



(sorry )

When BumRushDaShow acknowledges you, you’ve had a fantastic day.
Thanks BRDS!
Lots more “spineless” reps in the Kingdom Anamalia.
Hell there are more spines in Kingdom’s Plantae, Fungi, Protista and Monera than the entire GQP.
The party of masculinity my ass, which is right at the bottom of my spine.
Cheers! Go Ducks! But Go Vols first!

All we can do is not buy his cars and trucks...and other stuff he makes (actually that other people make for him).

Those "rebels" could cut him off fairly easily in future budget negotiations. I hope they do.

But end Trump, Eloooon loses his grip on us. And a-statement is made to other GQP firmly up his ass.
Impeach one, the other withers and dies.
HE is the one promising millions to buy seats to primary.
HE is a bigger threat.

they’re too big to hang.
it shd also dawn on them that a lot of voters have buyer’s remorse. they rly didnt vote to die.

What do you even call that?

lol

"Too stupid for words"?

But do Donny, Elmo and Chaiwalla even understand that?

The Republicans control the House, but they don't. Razor thin margin that usually fractures on tough issues.

Think the repug house is dysfunctional now …
😐

Given the negative impact of his economic policies once enacted, they see his popularity and influence waning, likely sooner than later. And I sense that they are not too keen on having a whacked out foreign-born zillionaire pulling on Dear Leader's puppet strings. So best putting them both in their "proper" place here and now. The "primary" threat will not be what it once wa with a hapless lame duck in office. GOP lifeboats at the ready, hoping not to go down with a sinking MAGA ship. I sure wish the rest of us might also escape unscathed.

that a lot of American are extraordinarily pissed. Sometimes pissed at the right people,. Many times not. But given what billionaires have done to them in so many ways the last 40 years, they have every right to be pissed. They were pissed at us recently, in my mind partially because we failed to take credit loudly enough to overcome the rightwing, propaganda machine on the positive things were were doing. Biden is low key. That's his style. Wrong style for the times. We couldn't or wouldn't offset the Repuke lies with shouted truth.

That rage is still seething and if Donny doesn't perform as advertised, which he won't, many will turn on him like rabid dogs. Way worse than 2018 and 2020. If he spikes unemployment with a policy driven recession (Elmo and Chaiwalla stupid shit), it's going to get ugly. We need to tap into that rage. Harness it. Tough order given where we are right now as a party, but if we can accomplish it, we may well end up with enough clout to do things like the OP mentioned.

hopefully Republicans will honor their oath to country not a foreign dictator and his criminal pet president-elect.

T hey did their job at a basic level and expect accolades for it.....

May he continue to do so. He’s not going to get primaried from the right here in this purple district.

I know it would a haul but we did briefly have the old version of that seat in 2006 & 2008 (Patrick Murphy).

He’s like my state rep Craig Staats, can’t dislodge him no matter what. At least Fitzpatrick does the right thing sometimes, unlike most other Rs.

but then behind the scenes is probably like 90% supporting GOP loon stuff.

Individual representatives are very hard to beat, because people get to know them and like them, that’s how they get elected. But if they wanna mess with a reliably red seat, I’m not gonna argue with him

It was his problem to deal with it, damn, he dealt with it and there will be no shutdown.

Since there will be no shutdown until possibly, after Jan 20, 2025, President Biden get the the credit for this not happening.
