Why does the GOP have so much of a problem with keeping members in line? Pelosi never did, They voted as a solid block with no defections. What's the difference?
Answer is simple...there are members of the GOP with integrity who want NOTHING tangible. They cannot be bribed with a quid pro quo of "you give me money for this and I give you money for that"
They do not want "stuff", they want the opposite of stuff...they want a balanced budeget and to shut down agencies. They want to NOT spend money. They want to balance the budget.
It is hard to sway somebody who wants nothing.
Democrats can always be bribed, they will always say..."Hey, I think your project is a total waste of money, but if I vote for yours, will you vote for mine?" And the answer is always "yeah, sure" and it results in 1500 page CR's
And for the Democrats/Left/Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Communist/Woke, there is always a deal to be made...because they never worry about the money or how much they spend...because it is not their money...it is the taxpayers money...or worse...they believe the government can simply print money and there will be no consequences.
I technically don't have a problem shutting down the Government...AFTER...they get Trump in office so he can start using the Executive Branch's power to slam closed the Border.
C'mon boys and girls. Accept Johnson and then have your fight.
Chris @GGsister2 gifted me the Giadzy sauce for my bday, so the meatballs basically made themselves. 😂 What’s something someone bought you that inspired a great meal—or a spectacular kitchen fail?
P.S. it's not my birthday. I just took a while to use my sister's birthday gift.

What person did you realize that you totally misjudged after meeting them?
What is something stupid you did as a teenager that still scares you when you think about it?

On this day in 1987, Rolling Stone magazine declares The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band the best album of the last 20 years.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the eighth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. Released in the UK on 26 May 1967, Sgt. Pepper is regarded by musicologists as an early concept album that advanced the roles of sound composition, extended form, psychedelic imagery, record sleeves, and the producer in popular music. The album had an immediate cross-generational impact and was associated with numerous touchstones of the era's youth culture, such as fashion, drugs, mysticism, and a sense of optimism and empowerment. Critics lauded the album for its innovations in songwriting, production and graphic design, for bridging a cultural divide between popular music and high art, and for reflecting the interests of contemporary youth and the counterculture.

“Rule Followers”
Rule Followers!
I follow rules for the most part.
I’ve been known to cross against the light when there was no traffic.
Although I’m with a group that would wait 20 minutes for a ‘walk’ sign, regardless of traffic.
We pulled into the old Agency Parking lot.
I received the command “find a shady spot with a table!”
I complied, the closest spot to it was a handicap spot.
We have a placard, but it wasn’t easily accessible.
“We need to move or get our permit.”
“No, there’s at least 100 spots, 10
of which are handicap. We are fine. If a park ranger wants to write us a ticket, I’ll move.”
My lovely mother in law went to sit in the car while we walked the little tour path.
She couldn’t stand it, she had to dig out the placard and put it on the dash.
(M)Assachusetts governor Healey encourages abortion up to the time of delivery, 9 MONTHS. Signs a bill. Just like that. At a time when women can get an abortion early enough & easily enough without worrying about prosecution, as in the ‘old days’. The governor says women need to BE SAFE w abortion — up to delivery. Ahem— WHAT ABOUT THE BABY’S safety? I am appalled & actually feel sick. Coincidentally, I had just read an article from a 1989 (yes that long ago) newspaper, recounting a sickening story from employees of an abortion clinic. (Can’t say where.I threw away that piece of paper so I didn’t accidentally send it to my Christian anti abortion son.He doesn’t need that sick info) Body parts of aborted babies were sold out of that sick place -even from babies aborted up to full gestation. If a poor baby was still breathing or moving at the time of presentation to the buyer, it was….put down like an animal. How much more streamlined is this industry today? Are ...
