    Lauren Boebert makes the mistake of trying to actually debate someone

    On Wednesday, the House of Representatives, led by the thin Republican majority, went back to wasting America’s time debating make-’em-up amendments for HR 4664, an appropriations bill. Rep. Lauren Boebert, fresh off trying to strip funds from the Environmental Protection Agency, was on the House floor defending her newest amendment: “Prohibits the use of funds made available by this Act to be used to provide financial assistance to Sanctuary Cities.”

    The problem here is that regardless of one's feelings about immigration, border security, or sanctuary cities, there is nothing in the bill earmarked for any of that. Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland noted this strange bit of business and asked Boebert if she would “yield for a question”? Boebert did, and boy, having to argue her point during a debate is not the strong suit of the Republican from Colorado.


    Hoyer needed only to ask the question “What funds in this bill are used for the purposes you are opposed to?” and subsequently remind Boebert that her political anxiety over tax money and sanctuary cities is not represented in the bill she is adding this piece of theater to. “None of the funds in this bill can be spent for that objective.”

    Boebert is not very smart. She could sure use a hand ... oops.

    After Years of Tanking Climate Action and Anti-Poverty Measures, Manchin Announces Exit From Senate

    "During his time in office, Manchin served the fossil fuel industry and lined his pockets with the payoff," said one critic.

    https://www.commondreams.org/news/manchin-leaving-senate

    One corrupt congress member that the democrats supported, is leaving. No matter, he will be replaced by another republican in the democrat party. The two parties are just that interchangeable nowadays.

    Considering how RFKjr is taking more votes away from Trump than Biden I predict Manchin will run for president.

    Republican Debate Meaningless Without Trump, Ivanka Testifies in Trump's Civil Fraud Trial



    The democrat hate machine has infiltrated our late night talk shows. They never used to be this political when I was growing up. Now each and everyone of them do exactly the same thing. Shit all over the republicans, mainly Trump, while labeling Joe, doddering yet "cool" old Joe. I unsubscribed to all of them. Won't waste my time watching these assholes hate all night when I want to laugh. When you want a good laugh, the last thing you need is some waste of skin telling you how much they hate that other party throughout the show. Their hatred doesn't make for laughing material...

    "Waste of skin" is pretty hateful itself, but okay.. RR isn't watching Kimmel anymore. Good to know.

    I don't believe that is accurate. He doesn't like both Biden and Trump.

    A week from government shutdown, Congressional Republicans can't pass their own budget bills. They have, however, spent days voting on bills eliminating salaries of Cabinet members and the vice president's entire staff. Knowing they will never pas the Senate. And investigating Hunter Biden for something.
