I was reading this last night and apparently the funding was canceled for Ukraine yet He still signed it so the government wouldn't shut down and claims they were still have the funding.

I'm confused. I reckon there’s going to be a separate deal between the White House and Congress. There’s still enough funding for now but that will dry up soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When she was interviewed by Kaitlan Collins a few weeks ago and asked a similar question, Mace said "If you had seen the evidence I have seen, you'd be shocked".... I guess what she meant was that KC would be "shocked" at how little evidence there really is.....although, nobody should be shocked that the GQP is conducting an Impeachment Inquiry without evidence of Presidential wrongdoing.... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertKBD Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 According to several media outlets, House Republicans are trying to expel Matt Gaetz from the caucus: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/politics/house-republicans-seek-to-expel-matt-gaetz-from-caucus-over-allegations-of-misconduct-amid-ethics-investigation/ar-AA1hxprt?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=310fbb3f1db24bc38a91b0c208f254c4&ei=108 Quote As Florida Representative Matt Gaetz launches his rebellion against House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, there are increasing reports indicating that House Republicans are looking to remove Gaetz from their ranks altogether, RadarOnline.com has learned. An unnamed House Republican revealed that the caucus wants Gaetz "gone," and they may use the findings from the ongoing Ethics Committee investigation into the far-right congressman to oust him. According to the report from CNN, the ongoing Ethics Committee investigation into Gaetz is focused on allegations of sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, or other misconduct. Gaetz remains under scrutiny while the investigation continues. In the event that he is not cleared of these allegations, there is a possibility he could face expulsion by his fellow House members who are eager to see him removed from office. "We want him out," one member of the Republican caucus warned, referring to Gaetz. Let this sink in a minute... We're talking about a caucus that includes "Space Laser" MTG, "Handy" Boebert, "Lyin' / Flyin' Ted" Cruz, Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar (whose own family told people not to vote for him) Somehow, Matt Gaetz has managed to out-scumbag them all..... 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that's going to save the Repugs, and by extension tte country, is for moderate republicans (both politicians and voters) to start fighting back.......even if it means voting Dem or just staying home on ejection day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tired of driving through potholes in our streets, seeing people go hungry here, and drugs ravage our communities. You do realize the US will need to fight Russia with troops in a NATO state if they don’t help Ukraine defeat Pootin now? Did Obama’s do next to nothing strategy in 2014 work? Pootin will continue to spread his evil influence in other countries if allowed. He must be stopped in Ukraine. Even Mike Pence understands this. Hopefully the His Orangeness ends up in prison, so any chance of him becoming POTUS again is gone. It would be a grave mistake if the US voters elected him again. I still can’t see how any person could support that Orange Baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tired of driving through potholes in our streets, seeing people go hungry here, and drugs ravage our communities. $1 trillion on us defense. $3 trillion for tax breaks on corporations. Almost $650 billion on various corporate forms of welfare. But sure, spending pennies on the dollars to fight russia is why your potholes exist and people are hungry 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Jack Smith documents trial which will likely see him behind bars. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This case could cost Bone Spurs and his spawn a shit ton of money, but it's unlikely he'll end up in jail over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Republicans largely voted against increasing infrastructure spending at the Federal level. And like here in BC, potholes are at best a state level responsibility. At worst, a municipal responsibility. Tired of potholes, then look to the names DOWNBALLOT. People going hungry. Well, there are numerous programs that Republicans love to hate. SNAP, school lunches, and more. Drugs, well decades of drug war has done nothing to stop drugs. The drug war is the reason why Fentanyl even is a problem. Republicans only promote more of the same failed drug war policies. Texas is largely run by Republicans. A large portion of its voters will be voting for much of the same. This is the root cause of a lot of the problems you listed. 1 1 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part may be a fait accompli pending appeals. A substantial part of TRUMP's businesses and his family's history is based in New York. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
