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.
Merry Christmas to all my Gutter friends! What a blessing it has been to know you and your families. Have a joyous and safe holiday with those you love.
It's 58 degrees with rain. Reminds me of being in Houston a long time ago.
Again: Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good morning.
It has been 5 years 3 months since I have joined Locals and have been in @TheGutter.
This place is the gift that keeps giving.
I better say @GregGutfeld first. I remember someone paid $6,100 for a 20 minute Zoom session with Greg on 11/17/2020.
I shared getting caught driving on an optional Zoom faculty meeting driving in Las Vegas without telling HR that I was going to an "unsafe state". Technically I didn't have to because they shorted me $25,000 by outsourcing me. I was able to call BS on their "we can't find teachers" with "you're only looking for woke."
The launching of "Gutfeld!" during another visit to another unsafe state where no masks were normal and you could carry in a restaurant.
We have discussed many topics on here that hadn't hit the news until 6 months later. I still think the Main Stream Media needs a biased kidney stone stuck in it's broadcast urethra.
Beads of privilege, a DEI wokeshop.
