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
Lots of politicians did what they thought was right in the 1930s. Turns out xenophobic, racist fascists have different opinions of what that is than most folks. Also, no American has seen « the left » since the 1970s, center-right democrats don’t count.

@pyranose

Can you list what policies of Biden or Obama's that either of them took action to execute in some way, that is a right-leaning policy stance?

As far as I know every single one of their policy stances and actions have been left side of the fence:

* increased restrictions on guns
* push towards universal single payer healthcare
* pro-abortion
* pro equal oppertunity
* pro free education/loan forgivness.

Literally cant think of a single thing they pushed for that is right.

And yes, obviously we want people to follow their conscious and be a good person... funny that huh, its almost like having a conscious is important, but so are other things.

Funny what you think is left are all basic human rights in my country. I’ll give you some real left actions:
Increase corporate taxes to a sustainable level for the betterment of society.
Increase taxes on the rich to post war levels.
Close all corporate tax loopholes.
Nationalize essential utilities
Nationalize resources to fund society
Salary caps on top level executives
Guaranteed living wages
Universal right to unionize
