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.

Finally saw my doctor today and found out that the radiation treatment seems to have worked!! My PSA number has gone way down.
Looks like you will have to put up with me and my music posts for the foreseeable future 😀
Dear Richard Fowler-First of all you are still a liar.
A couple of Somali's? Are you a fucking idiot. We need to count EVERYONE who knew or benefitted with the organized defrauding of the Federal government, via the Minnesota government.
I have seen this in too many movies to not mention it.
Go after the fraud in Minnesota and elsewhere with
RICO
RICO-1970 U.S. federal law designed to fight organized crime by targeting illegal activities within legitimate businesses or criminal enterprises, requiring a "pattern of racketeering activity" (two or more specified crimes) connected to an "enterprise," allowing prosecution of leaders for associated crimes, and enabling asset forfeiture and civil lawsuits, with its broad scope extending beyond the Mafia to various fraud, corruption, and organized criminal acts.
Indict the "Somali" community like you would the Mafia. Get phone records, bank records, etc and charge everyone, show how many KNEW of the fraud. All the families with kids ...
