MD hit on the obvious points, whenever we read or listen to someone we need to know who they are and who they work for. Williams is the definition of a partisan hack. Why shouldn't we investigate Hunter, because he's an admitted druggie and has emotional problems? Almost every stone he throws at the Republicans are little more than replays of what the Democrats have already done, but he's silent of that part. He accuses McCarthy of appointing "polarizing political members" to the committee when that is precisely the entire composition of the committee, especially the two Republicans selected by Pelosi. The Hill used to be a centrist news agency but has become as unreliable as most of the mainstream in being balanced in their reporting.
If I'm honest I'd say that I have to agree that the priority of any Congress should be improving and safeguarding the lives of Americans and not trying to destroy their opposition, which has been exactly what the Democrats have been doing for at least six years, probably more like seventeen years. If Republicans are the majority in the House they need to attend to the people's business first. If they do that, then next comes making big tech accountable for their partisan censorship, allowing the other side to be heard on J6, and exposing the lies and corruption of Fauci which was the firing pin for a tyrannical takeover and near destruction of America.

Tell us how you really feel !,
Wasn’t too concerned with the author as to the point.
Which is, if the Rs win this next cycle they will do the same thing to the D’s as they did to them.
But you have to win to make that happen.

But you have to win to make that happen. I think I understand where you're coming from. I was flabbergasted at the byline, so that was my focus. (And it was fun to write.  ) I think it's worth examining the "do the same thing" idea. If by "do the same thing" we mean investigate and ultimately impeach a president of the opposing party if/when your party controls the House - then yes, in form, perhaps that is the same thing. But doesn't it matter what the underpinning of such actions are? Would you say that an investigation into whether Hunter improperly traded Dad's influence for money and an investigation into whether Trump "colluded" with Russia to win the 2016 election are "the same thing?" Like I said - perhaps in form, but not in substance. But yes in order for this question to have any relevance, the R's need to win. If they don't, then the point is moot. |

You guys see where the Dems are highly funding far right Trumpers primaries against more middle Republican candidates?
The thought bring that the far right will be easier to beat in November than a middle right candidate.
They had good results in doing so last week as these candidates won.
Gibbs in Michigan, got more funding from the Dems than all other sources combined and beat Meijer one of the few who voted to impeach Trump.
It worked for him and others as they won their primaries.
It’s an interesting strategy, propping up “ big lie” candidates to go against anti Trump Dems in November.

"This candidate says the 2020 election had huge irregularities. Let's make sure this guy who isn't in our party gets nominated to prove him wrong when it's time to face the voters in the general election." Also, GOP officials in Wyoming are encouraging registered Dems to vote for Liz Cheney in her primary, as she's down over 20 points in the polls. Yep, nothing wrong with our system. |

It’s an interesting strategy, propping up “ big lie” candidates to go against anti Trump Dems in November. Jonathan Gruber was captured on video telling his audience that passage of Obamacare was contingent on the stupidity of the American voter, and that's essentially the Democrats' key to success. This demonstrates that. We are a country with a significant percentage of the population that is willfully ignorant of current events. The gullibility and irrationality of multiple millions of voters is the target for most politicians, but the Democrats have been most successful at capturing them - like rats with cheese. Intelligent people who attribute credibility to compulsive liars mean well, yet in reality they are the reason our media tells us men can give birth, spending more money will ease inflation and the one-percenters can solve our country's debt problem. |

There's a shitload of stupidity around on both sides of the aisle. Just gotta listen with the left and right ear.
One thing I need to check into is this reconciliation process. Non partisan parlatarian (sp), amendment vote a rama.
VP breaking ties.
Seems like fine night time reading when I get a chance.

Parliamentarian  This process is supposed to only apply to budgetary issues, and it's been abused before. And yes - they supported Doug Mastriano here in the primary for governor. I hope it blows up in their faces and they get a bunch of little Trumps in a bunch of governorships and senate seats. |

I'm easily confused, so this worked.  I'm not sure what to think of Mastriano, but this presents a situation similar to the 2016 and 2020 elections for me. There is no way I would vote for a progressive, especially one who just had a stroke and has a hard time speaking and moving. Saying that, I'm fairly sure there'll be millions of people who will look for the (D) and pull the lever and millions more envelopes that will be mailed from an address carved in granite. |
