Less than 24 hours after #HouseRepublicans staged their little choreographed march to the #Senate to hand-deliver their bullshit #MayorkasImpeachment papers, the Senate has dismissed it, and won't be holding any trial. Great work by Commander #MikeJohnson and his pack of idiots! 🤣
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson reveals he is delusional, telling a Christian group, “The Lord began to wake me up, through this three-week process, in the middle of night to speak to me.” #GOPFail#Dominionism
These were reimbursements to #Biden for car payments on truck that Biden has paid while Hunter changed career paths.
Big ol’ swing and a miss
[see image below]
Greg Price:
BREAKING: Joe Biden received direct monthly payments beginning in 2018 from #HunterBiden's LLC Owasco PC, which received millions of dollars of CCP linked payments, according to redacted bank records released today by GOPoversight. #GOPfail
#LizCheney: “Trump has told us that he thinks the Constitution can and should be suspended when necessary, that what happened on Jan. 6 was justified, that in a second Trump presidency he would seek retribution,” ... “The assumption that our institutions will protect themselves is purely wishful thinking by people who prefer to look the other way.”
Republicans purposefully poison the electorate that otherwise vastly supports the core Democratic agenda. They have every interest in making sure Democrats don’t get credit for being responsible stewards of our economy.
We must stand loud for #democracy, respect, and the rule of law.
A VERY positive take on the Colorado judgment to allow #tfg on the ballot. Regardless of this court’s decision, it would be appealed, and every court above the trial court MUST pay deference to the trial judge’s finding of fact, which is Trump Engaged in Insurrection.
Higher courts will now freshly interpret the law and apply the law to the facts of this finding. That is the MOST important thing the trial judge could have done.
Georgia #Republicans are standing up for #FaniWillis. Why? A conversion to support justice and the rule of law? Hahaha. Nope., It’s for the sake of Georgia business.
Chip Roy: I didn't come here to have the speaker of the house assume the position and in 17 days pass a continuing resolution off the floor of this house through suspension of the rules. #GOPfail
The #House just cancelled the rest of votes today & tmrw, after conservatives tanked a procedural vote for a long term spending bill & another long term spending bill was facing major issues.
House not back until after Thanksgiving now. #GOPfail
FFS! People keep referring to these thugs as "children." This goes beyond childish behavior. These are f'ing thugs & Trump has gleefully groomed/incited/encouraged them to be this way.
This is the second time in a handful of months that Markwayne Mullin has challenged Sean O'Brien to a fist fight. There is something wrong with this guy.
Apparent tally of second route voting for House speaker: Jeffries (D-NY) 212; Jordan (R-OH) 199: McCarthy (R-CA) 5; Scalise (R-LA) 7; Others 10. No candidate has reached the needed 217 votes.
🤦🏻♀️🤢House #Republicans nominated fascist traitor Rep. #JimJordan (R-Ohio) for Speaker on Friday, the conference’s second attempt to find a candidate who can win the gavel on the House floor. #GymJordan
117th Congress under Dem leadership delivered biggest infrastructure bill ever, biggest climate bill ever, slashed drug costs, massive $ to on shore mfg and funds to recover from covid downturn faster than any other OECD country.
It’s cool, not like our ally is at war or anything. We don’t really need a functional House.
Take your time.
No rush.
Still gonna take that full $174,000 check though, huh?
Melanie Zanona:
Timing update: The House will NOT vote on electing a speaker this afternoon, per source. House will just come in at 3 and recess — so just a procedural vote.
Big Fail: Rep K McCarthy brought Rep J Boehner, HSE GOP ldr, to a rally on Tax Day 2009 & in ~200 cities the tea party was staging raucous demonstrations. With the support of RW estab. outfits: Fox Nws, Young Rs, Heritage FND & FreedomWorks, morphed into an angry protest of Obama, the new pres., Dem-controlled Congress, stimulus plan...
Events were disturbing: signs depicting Obama as the bloody-smiling Joker or Hitler, Obama Is the Anti-Christ... #GOPSabotage#GOPFail
