The GOP-led House is in disarray and focused on all the wrong things. They couldn’t even get a bill to fund the Pentagon through a procedural vote because five of their far-right members revolted. And now Speaker McCarthy has pulled the continuing resolution to fund the government, one that was hammered out by the different factions this weekend, from any consideration because it also doesn’t have the votes.

Instead of doing their job and passing a budget—one they already agreed to earlier this year—they are preceding with an impeachment inquiry into President Biden because the Orange Guy insists he shouldn’t be the only impeached candidate up on stage. The hearing will now happen just two days before the government shuts down because they don’t have a budget in place.

This is the GOP in a nutshell, folks. Paralysis, political theatrics, and chaos.

@georgetakei

I have no love for the GOP my friend, but you are criticizing them for doing the one thing the democrats arent doing and should.... Vote their conscious rather than just agreeing with the group.

We **want** politicians who are there to vote whats right, not what their party tells them to vote.

@freemo @georgetakei , I have a hard time believing they are voting their conscious. These guys are mostly just pissing in the soup.

@JonKramer

I mean thats kinda true im sure.. what i mean to say is "not tow the party line"

@georgetakei

@freemo @georgetakei , that terminology I can agree with. But I'm not sure the GQP has a party line anymore. If anything, their platform is ' support trump,' and that seems to be what these clowns are doing....

An argument can be made supporting any position here, and I think that is intentional by the GQP as a whole.

@JonKramer

When i say party line i dont mean "The principles of the party" I mean "We all vote the same way"
