Congratulations, Republican voters! Just in the last 24 hours, the arrogant MAGA cult you

chose to represent you in Congress have voted AGAINST fixing the infant formula shortage and AGAINST legislation to make domestic terrorism a crime! I sorta understand the domestic terrorism vote---so many of your people ARE domestic terrorists---but I thought you folks still cared about BORN babies.

Just curious---would your crew support distributing a cure for cancer if Democrats proposed funding it?

Would you oppose baseball and apple pie if Democrats favored them?

Only babies that aren't babies are worthy of Republican love. Which is not love.

To begin with.

I have been reading about what Russian soldiers are doing to babies and children. Any one who shows the least sign of aiding Putin and his Military make me sick.

believe it was on DU or a link I found here. Domestic terrorists in this country are 75% Conservative,
20% Islamic, and 4% Liberal. Seems like the study was from 2000 onward, if the study was 2016
to today, believe reQublicOns would be batting a 1000%

Yet they own giant trailers, F-450s the size of a house, giant boats, RVs, ATVs, motorcylces - these are all things that use tons of gas. And yet all they do is complain.

I still have a hard time understanding the republican mind. If they had a different funding strategy, perhaps a few more would act like decent citizens, and vote in favor of helping to create a more perfect union!

Now that's not politics, it's just 5 year old level tantrum throwing!

What next? Holding their breath, refusing milk & cookies, the 'Don't make me angry, you won't like what happens next' line?

New GOP slogans:

'Anything Dems want, we are against. Full on denial!'
and
'You Are Not The Boss Of Me!'

All designed to make Biden look bad of course.

Anyone with half a brain can see it's YOU, not Joe.

It doesn't matter if they are for you or against you.

It doesn't matter what they stand for or if they stand for anything.

Nothing matters so long as they "own the libs".

They have no respect for their country or those that have fought and died so they could enjoy their freedoms.

It's a very, very sad story.

creating Hell on Earth so they can blame it on Democrats and convince a lot of suckers to vote them out.

"What's your platform, your policies? Whatcha gonna do if elected?" someone in the crowd shouted.

"We ain't got no platform," one of the kings fired back. "We just ain't them other guys creatin' Hell on Earth for ya. Our king will decide everything and it'll be wunnerful. So vote the other guys out! Vote the other guys out! Vote the other guys out!"
