The Absurd GOP
RE: The Absurd GOP
I'd rather the shutdown continue than the democrats resort to cowardice as they always do in giving the repubs what they want.

RE: The Absurd GOP
The trouble is that the reich has gone further than what the shutdown actually effects - they're now hurting people in an entirely optional manner, while using every government office and website to blame the dems for whatever new cruelty they've come up with that doesn't have to happen even with the shutdown.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Quote:A local Republican leader in Kentucky shared a social media video depicting former President Barack Obama and his wife as apes, a historically racist trope that has ignited a backlash and a strong rebuke from the state GOP for the since-deleted post.

The post by Bobbie Coleman, chairwoman of the Hardin County Republican Party, was condemned as “vile and reprehensible” by state GOP Chairman Robert J. Benvenuti III. The state party is investigating, and he promised the “harshest action available to us” against those involved.

“The Republican Party of Kentucky condemns hate in all its forms,” he said in a statement Saturday.

Coleman confirmed sharing the video on the Hardin County GOP’s Facebook page on Saturday. The local party leader said the video was deleted and an apology was offered for “amplifying offensive imagery of former President Obama” before the state GOP weighed in with its statement.

“As someone who does not engage with racist tropes, I did not consider the underlying meaning that this video may have had,” Coleman said in a follow-up social media post. “I am not racist and any suggestion to the contrary does not reflect my values or character.”

They're using the shutdown to enact the despoilation of government. And they're targeting programs of their own choosing in order precisely further the narrative that government is not effective.

Quote:The Republican report recommends that the District of Columbia Board of Medicine investigate whether Biden’s White House doctor, Kevin O’Connor, failed his duties as a physician by misleading Americans as to the president’s health. As evidence, the report pointed to O’Connor’s refusal to cooperate with the committee’s probe: O’Connor cited his Fifth Amendment rights and physician-patient privilege in declining to answer questions. Republicans also cited O’Connor’s decision to forgo a cognitive exam for the president.

If they go through with that you'd have to wonder why they'd bother with the pretense of holding elections...

RE: The Absurd GOP
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) in a press conference Friday talked about the downsides of using the “nuclear option” to bypass the Senate’s 60-vote threshold to reopen the government but did not directly disagree with President Trump’s call for the upper chamber to get rid of the filibuster.

......

He said Democrats, if they were in the majority with no filibuster, would make the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico states, ban firearms, and “do all sorts of things that would be very harmful for the country.”
