We need that ballroom! It's essential.

It’s not being paid for with public money.

No, just bribes.

There's no 'scam.'

Vought is a deranged, hyperpartisan liar.

I’m surprised he’s brave enough to post on X. He must have to block the comments.

A Day In The Life of Joe Republican

Joe gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised. All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employer’s medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance, so now Joe gets it too.

He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs this day. Joe’s bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry. Joe takes his morning shower, reaching for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with every ingredient and the amount of its contents because some liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.

Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some tree hugging liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air.

He walks to the subway station for his government subsidized ride to work; it saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees. You see, some liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.

Joe begins his work day; he has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe’s employer pays these standards because Joe’s employer doesn’t want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed he’ll get a worker compensation or unemployment check, because some liberal didn’t think he should loose his home because of his temporary misfortune.

It’s noon time. Joe needs to make a bank deposit, so he can pay some bills. Joe’s deposit is federally insured by the FDIC because some liberal wanted to protect Joe’s money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Depression. Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some stupid liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.

Joe is home from work, he plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive to Dad’s; his car is among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car safety standards.

He arrives at his boyhood home. He was the third generation to live in the house financed by the Farmers Home Administration because bankers didn’t want to make rural loans.

The house didn’t have electricity until some big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn’t belong and demanded rural electrification. (Those rural Republicans would still be sitting in the dark). He is happy to see his Dad, who is now retired.

His Dad lives on Social Security and his union pension, because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn’t have to.

After his visit with Dad, he gets back in his car for the ride home. He turns on a radio talk show. The host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. (He doesn’t tell Joe that his beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day). Joe agrees, “We don’t need those big government liberals ruining our lives; after all, I’m a selfmade man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have”.

+1 None will respond, but they read it. We’ll take care of our own while they feel the most pain.

People are ok with tax cuts for billionaires off the backs of hungry children and accessible healthcare. They were for “the common man” and voted for a con man to solve their problems.

They got all fired up about who is playing on their daughter’s sports team and didn’t care about providing affordable food and job opportunities for their daughter. SAD! Sports is f**king stupid and is not important in life.

There’s no evidence they’re losing.

The last 3 shutdowns were all under Trump/GOP control. The GOP can’t govern, and America knows it.

If they’re aiming to deport millions of them and tighten up the border, shouldn’t that then mean that funding healthcare for illegal immigrants is a moot point? If the numbers are going down, and we’re succeeding at keeping them out, then there’s no one to pay for, right?

So what are the Republicans talking about? Paying for people who aren’t even here?

Everything about GOP "policies" is half baked, inconsistent, or broken in some way or another. Everything.

So does this means that the billions going into border protection and hiring officers is one big waste of taxpayer funds if we still have to worry about paying the ER bills for illegal immigrants? If the deadlock is over that, then the Administration failed at curbing illegal immigration.

That isn't what the deadlock is over. Sad that is what you have been led to believe.

It’s actually not surprising. If you want to get a sense of how dumb people are in the good old USA watch some episodes of America’s Funniest Home videos.

This is how the rest of America functions - fat people diving off tiny broken diving boards, breaking homemade ziplines, floating out of their above ground pools right onto the ground, flipping ATVs into mud, cutting down trees that land on their shed or kid’s play structure, walking on clearly dead and weak trees over water that inevitably break. This is America.

: I bingewatched House Democrats’ shutdown livestream on YouTube for more than 14 hours. They couldn’t fill three hours of programming, occasionally drew fewer than 100 viewers on the platform, and struggled to break through.

It was emblematic of their larger struggle in the Trump era.
