The tables have turned for House conservatives.
Six months ago, emboldened by a new GOP majority and armed with new rules designed to rein in government spending, Republican deficit hawks stormed into the 2024 appropriations debate hoping to secure steep cuts and threatening to take on anyone who stood in their way.
When their Speaker, Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), cut one too many spending deals with President Biden, they booted him from power.
But Congress last week wrapped up the 2024 spending battle with bipartisan votes to approve a massive, $1.2 trillion government funding package — and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) survived the biggest fight of his short, five-month tenure
I'd say the real losers with this "spending battle" are the innocent children living in Gaza...
Fuck anyone that takes AIPAC money, I can't "hold my nose" anymore.
If you take AIPAC money, you'll never get my vote again.
Keep dreaming of a “fair” world; it’s a fantasy. Your principles will leave the country with a guy who just said, “You have to finish up your war. You have to finish it up. You’ve got to get it done,”.
“Get it done” means finish the extermination, if you have trouble reading between lines.
You do you buddy! A principle is worthless untill you actually have to suffer for it.
Just know that all the people rabidly against your best interests are all die hard republican voters that will turn out in droves.
And the children of Gaza will continue to suffer, but the MAGAts will Stack all brown children at the border on that mountain of suffering.
So you are clearly showing you are willing to make more people suffer for your convictions.. fight the power.. rage against the machine!
Or.. maybe.. nah.. too much work .. amirite?
Biden has zero chance of winning my state, like he does with lots of states.
I'm not selling out my morales for nothing in return. I don't think the DNC will give a shit, they're going to keep doing whatever the fuck they want.
But I do now understand why Biden's most feverent supporters have been imitating ostriches and wanting to ignore problems. I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror either.
And the children of Gaza will continue to suffer, but the MAGAts will Stack all brown children at the border on that mountain of suffering.
Are you talking about what Obama started, trump continued, and now Biden is still doing?
Just another example how "not a Republican" isn't enough and voting "blue no matter who" fucks us all.
Have standards besides a D next to someone's name or we're all fucked.
