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?

@klawansky @freemo

I was about to ask the same thing but you ask with more restraint than I was able to muster.

@wren

Why would you have to restrain yourself? Are you suggesting you would feel the need to attack someone who hates the GOP like you but had a criticism of how the DNC could improve in some way and isnt perfect.

Hmm... that is troubling if thats the case.

@klawansky

@freemo @klawansky

nope. that's not what i was suggesting. at all. interesting take tho-

too exhausted to say any more than what @klawansky said, which was quite to the point, I thought.

What kind of conscience are you suggesting the GOP has?
seems to be malfunctioning quite a bit of late.

again, too exhausted to get into this. so hope this clears things up for you. take care.

@wren

Ok, but i never made **any** comment about if their conscious was good or bad, only that they followed it.

So why would you make a comment, and be mad about it, asking if they have a good or bad conscious when my comment didnt claim anything about the **quality** of their conscious?

In fact I made it quite clear I hate the GOP, so if anything if you were to read between the lines and infer something wouldnt it be that I feel the GOP has a bad conscious?

@klawansky

@freemo @klawansky

ok, yeah. you're right. I read between the lines and inferred horrible things. you win and my apologies. please allow me to be exhausted trouble free now. thank-you.

@wren
