US House REJECTS measure to take away staff funding from rogue Judge James BOASBERG, 163-257
[X] US House REJECTS measure to take away staff funding from rogue Judge James BOASBERG, 163-257

46 Republicans voted AGAINST. UNBELIEVABLE.

The measure from Chip Roy also slashed DC Circuit Court funding by 20%, and took staff funding away from Judge Boardman

ROY: "These two individuals have been particularly egregious in their contempt of the President and putting their personal views in front of their duty as judges to carry out the jobs that they hold."

1 Why do I have the feeling that Trump's presidency is just a splash - and, in 2228, everything will go back to "business as usual"?

2 #1 didn't you mean "2028"?

4 Winning back our country will take two decades. Part of the struggle will be like the Israelites marching around in the desert weeding out the unfit politicians. God tells them to attack the Canaanites but they are too scared. Complaints about the amenities and two rebellions against Moses happened.

How will look? My Congressman Dave Joyce routinely votes contrary to the wishes of 90% of his voters to satisfy the party bosses and his large donors - some are probably corporations, maybe even foreign funds. Joyce needs to be replaced. The Ohio GOP will do whatever they can to prevent that. Eventually, he will be pried out of office or find a good grift in the private sector. When he finally gets gone, it will be war to replace him with someone decent. The system will try to install a clone.
What would speed the process? Prosecution of folks that have smurfed funds through Act Blue and Win Red has the potential to replace a large numbers of politicians in one cycle. The exposure of large scale corruption that started in Minneapolis has that potential. The election fraud in 2020 had that potential.

7 A member of Congress's first priority is keeping their seat.

And what does the typical voter think of all this? The ones that only get their news from the MSM?

Sadly, the days of this being the typical American voter are a distant memory.

The typical voter today increasingly is dumber than my cat and makes life choices based on a Tik-Tock influencer, the bovine blobs on the View, or what her friends talk about, and often worst of all, who ensures the government checks keep flowing .

The most cruel part is their vote cancels the votes of Americans who could actually save our future!

9 The trick the GOP uses is that RINO’s are generally well funded by the party and challengers have little success in their grass roots campaign. When a donor and party supported rep retires they have a duplicate candidate ready to go. It almost takes a celebrity candidate to break the chain of custody on a red seat.
