Isn’t that accurate though? The GOP couldn’t get a CR passed by itself. Fortunately McCarthy was willing to get it passed with bipartisan approval. I also don’t think government workers should be punished with loss wages because of stupid political games by a minority. Personally I think we would be better off tying Social Security payments not going out during government shutdowns. That would make shutdowns less attractive tool to use I would think.
Because the GOP is made up of independent thinkers who don't just mindlessly do what their leaders tell hem to do (as happens on the Democrat side of the House and Senate), yes, it is more difficult to get all Republicans, even a narrow majority, to give their consent to questionable legislation. Or in fact, BAD legislation.
And in 30 years of shut-downs (see my MRC.org link above) the Democrat-Bolshevik media ALWAYS sides with the Democrats, and ALWAYS blames the Republicans, for any shutdown, EVER.
Gee, and here I thought that the U.S. Constitution set up checks and balances, so that the House (Republican) majority holds the purse-strings of spending, with the constitutional authority to oppose ruinous spending , and do exactly what they threatened to do. And when an untrustworthy RINO Rep. Andrew McCarthy, who never had Republican confidence, and never should have been speaker in the first place, predictably gave in to every trillion-dollar concession the Democrats wanted for 9 months, the Republican caucus had the contractual ability and every right to challenge his speakership, and appoint another Republican speaker, who actually fights for the Republican voters who ELECTED that Republican majority.
The U.S. passed the $ 33 trillion mark in debt 2 weeks ago, and somehow just 2 weeks later, we're at $ 33.46 trillion !
And for WHAT ?!?
Those trillions are just wasted by a Democrat leadership that won't even use a piddly $ 5 billion to secure our southern border.
I think the very purpose of all this spending by Democrat-Bolsheviks (and Republican RINOS who do nothing to stop it) is :
1) to enrich themselves on corporate kickbacks who they've passed these spending trillions to benefit,
2) as part of their globalist/Marxist revolution, to sell out our sovereignty to our enemies, and make us dependent on the very people who want to destroy us.
and
3) in the tradition of Clinton-era "Filegate" and other abuses of the FBI, IRS and CIA, some Republicans may be surveilled and blackmailed into not opposing Democrat-Bolshevik auhortiarian-globalist plans.
The main purpose of all this debt is to bankrupt the U.S. and make it a dependency, so it cannot independently resist globalist plans.
But the Democrat party also ideologically hates our Constitutional free-market republic and wants to see us displaced as a world power and violently humbled, because the Democrat-Bolsheviks believe the U.S. is an inherently unjust evil racist place, and they agree with all our enemies --Leftists, Russians, Chinese, Iranians, islamic radicals-- that the U.S. should be destroyed.
And that's why the DEMOCRAT PARTY needs to be destroyed. They are the poisonous enemy destroying us from within.
Their own self-incriminating quoted words, for over 50 years, prove everything I say is true.
And they don't even try to hide their true colors anymore.
From the Clintons to the Obamas to the Bidens, to A-O-C and the squad, Elizabeth Warren, Mad Maxine Waters, Pelosi, Schumer, Cory Booker, Cori Bush, on down, there's not a speck of sanity in the whole Democrat-Bolshevik party. Not one Democrat leader says "
Woooooah, this is just too crazy, this is where I get off!!
No, they are all on board the crazy train.
Woke indoctrination in the military? PERFECTLY FINE !
Transgender men doing lapdances (and recruitment) of grade-school boys? ABSOLUTELY !
Transgender surgery (mutilation) of males and females under 18? GREAT IDEA ! HOW DARE ANYONE OPPOSE IT ! (Never mind that transgenders who get the surgery often regret it, and have a 40% higher suicide rate than those who are denied it.)
Open borders? You're a RACIST if you support common-sense national security policy, knowing who comes into our country, over 100,000 opiate deaths a year, human trafficking, terrorism and other criminals who prey on Americans, completely untraceable under Biden's insane policy.
A surge of new wars and aggression in Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, Korea and elsewhere, that never would have occurred under Trump's 4 years? Yeah, there must be SOME way we can convolute the narrative and blame it on Trump...
With McCarthy out of the way, Republicans will select a truly conservative speaker whose policy decisions for the first time in 9 months will make sense to Republican legislators and to Republican Conservative voters who have felt betrayed at every turn by McCarhy in that time.
And Democrats will regret doing the Republicans a favor and allowing them to eject a RINO who was damaging the Republicans from within.
