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 what kind of conscience do you think “these” people have?

Follow

@klawansky

To whom do you mean? The left? The right?

I dont expect either side to have a conscious from what I've seen.

More importantly, why are you twisting my words? Anyone who read what i said clearly could figure out I wasnt saying they have a good conscious, only that they followed what they felt was right rather than what the group told them to do.

@freemo @klawansky if you're in a political position and your emotions are leading you, you're doing it wrong.

If your elected officials use words like "we feel" or "we hope" when describing legislation, they're not doing their jobs.

"I feel you are a centrist troll."

"You are a centrist troll."

See, completely different connotations.
