re: Sen. Hawley destroys Mayorkas in testimony yesterday

Let me help you OP.

GOP has histrionic finger-wagging down pat.

Sound and fury, signifying nothing.

When we had an honest "media," finger wagging and forcing out the truth was enough.

I am not sure what people expect polticians to do when those in charge have the ability to ignore laws with impunity, because the "media" lies by ommission.

Sen Hawley, John Kennedy, Jim Jordan and Ted Cruz give great soundbites then do nothing.

Apologies to Jim Jordan…… he also writes letters

I'm responding to your post but it could be about 5 other posters expressing the same thing - a question, what is Hawley, Jordan, etc. supposed to do? They're congressmen, they speak, investigate, interrogate and vote.

The ridicule/frustration you and others are expressing should be targeted at the image in the mirror. We're the ones that deliver too few votes to get anything done. Also, we don't hold our elected leaders accountable - they can tax the shite out of us, expand their power to control us, and lock us out of our businesses, schools and churches for ridiculous reasons and purposes, and we enthusiastically vote them back into power and buy their sneakers.

Hawley really is the best at this.

So what do you suggest for those conservatives who live in blue states, donate to conservative causes and are not quite ready for an armed revolution?!?!

That's a great question and discussion to be had. It's also one of the biggest challenges on the Right. If you're a Leftist, it's not hard to contribute to the effort - there are all sorts of organizations, unions, etc., that you can fund to lead the charge. Hell, the Left has won the game to a point that a lot of its funding comes from you and me through taxes. Education and planned parenthood are two examples - think of the billions of tax dollars "invested" in those entities and ultimately in Democrat causes.

Name the organizations on the Right I can send my money to (or get directly involved in) and see it used for (effective) efforts to limit government, bring power back to the states, or rationalize spending, the intrusiveness of gov't, education, etc.

I agree. I like Hawley, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, etc, but they don’t actually accomplish anything. This is why I’ve always been a proponent of Vivek because that dude at least has policies that wouldn’t require the do-nothings in Congress to enact. I think he would have the balls to get it done as well. He goes well beyond what Trump proposes. In a perfect world, Desantis and Vivek would team up to clean up this country like Giuliani did for New York.

Or just circumvent Congress and get everything done at the state level. The federal government is toast. Best to be local.

Some of them would take every opportunity to beat that dick headed traitor to death of given the free pass.

If Dems are declaring his reign a roaring success, what the frick can a congressman do but inform the public?

They are woefully underwhelming in their action on most things, but the auto "nothing will happen" responses on this board are fricking infuriating sometimes. Especially when aimed at those who would take.every opportunity to do something within the law if the loathsome left didn't absolutely love the outcomes of these policies.

That's great. But what is going to come out of this other than great soundbites?

Yes

Soundbites


And



Snapshots

That’s what politics is.
Trump is the king of it.

Hell yeah. Nobody can hand out a good talking to like our GOP
