Midterms won't even matter at this rate because we dont even get shite done when we control both houses.

It’s very disappointing to say the least and maybe we are fricked in the long run after all.

Was really hoping the threat of primarying the cucks would’ve worked but nope. Tubberville wanting to run for Gov tells me a lot that Congress is merely a cesspool of degenerates and thieves.

Rand Paul and Thomas Massie are out there with both fists up, leading the charge from their knees.

They are literally about to vote in the tax cuts and budget deal next month.

Mike Johnson caved to Anna Paulina Luna and some Dems for something that will certainly be abused in Dems favor in the future when they are voting from nursing homes.

Needless to say, disappointing, but not surprising. Republicans have no idea what to do with the majority. They would much rather be the minority so they can talk tough without actually having to do anything.

They had better be working on election reforms designed to prevent Democrat voting theft

and getting that done along with as many judicial replacements to prevent the vote-thieving party from installing more Marxist totalitarianism

quickly now

It's what Republicans always do when they have power. Bicker and sit on their hands. I expected nothing different this time around.

"Conservatives" do nothing for the most part besides grandstand. Ive just come to accept this. They hate Trump because he actually takes action.

Bingo. Much easier to talk about what you “are gonna do” than actually do it. Basically they are the guy in his 30s still talking the same shite as high school about “the future” while doing nothing to prepare for it.

It’s just like Wrestling. One party is the hero one is the heal.

Americans fall for it every year.

Tax cuts won't fix anything. The govt will continue to get bigger, borrow more, print more. Congress needs to slash and burn govt spending, which they apparently will never do until the US dollar is dead. What they should do is pass a law that raises taxes, collect enough taxes every year to balance the budget. You'd see spending get slashed in about one year.

You do realize that they have been out of session the past couple of weeks right?

Deep down they are not on Trumps side. They all want a part of the pie to get rich in government. They need to pretend they are morally conservative on social issues while waiting out Trumps term to get re-elected so their corruption can begin again.

Every lawyer/politician’s dream is to be in government so they can collect fat paydays without having to actually work. That’s why they will never implement term limits on themselves and literally die in office. Our government isn’t sustainable outside of what Trump and Elon are trying to do. All the rest are leeches.

It’s what Republicans do, every time they get power they frick it way. There are too many Rinos who would rather do nothing. They want to be in the minority so they have to take difficult votes.

Wrong

They agreed to spend 2 trillion more than the government brings in as revenue, and print the difference.

THEY did this
