Same bro, the condescension from you is palpable.
-
You know that government spending is up this year, right? Until you address that, it really invalidates your guys’ entire narrative.

The house works during government shutdowns.

It’s not though. This isn’t about “media talking points.” Adelita Grijalva’s election was certified by Arizona’s secretary of state, the House majority simply refused to schedule her swearing-in. That’s on the official record. The last time Congress blocked a certified member from taking the oath was over a century ago, and it was condemned by both parties as a constitutional failure. Calling that “both sides” is just factually wrong. Only one side controls the calendar. As a point of order, earlier in this Congress, new members from special elections (e.g., two Florida Republicans and a Virginia Democrat) were sworn in within 24 hours of their election, while the House was not in full session. Just wanna confirm that your alls response as to why this time is justified is the Gov shutdown? Can we just get that one on record? You say “no one cares about Epstein.” That’s convenient and pathetically incorrect. The issue isn’t the man, it’s whether Congress will release federal files that may implicate powerful people from both parties. That’s transparency, not gossip. Brushing it off only shows how partisanship outweighs curiosity about corruption. And sure, both parties have their narcissists, but equating systemic obstruction with ordinary dysfunction is a false balance. Trust in Congress has dropped from nearly 70 percent in the 1970s to about 20 percent today. That decline tracks perfectly with the rise of tribal loyalty over constitutional duty. We all swore an oath once. It wasn’t to a party, and it wasn’t to a personality cult. Watching people on this forum who once understood that retreat behind cynicism and call it realism, it’s hard to decide whether that’s sadder or more dangerous.

Republican congress shuts down and refuses to swear in an elected democrat, Adelina Grijalva. Recess and closing within minutes has been the entire modus operandi the last two months. Now I ask all of you, what is the moral justification? And yes, I recognize that FoxNews has literally no stories on this, so there are no preapproved talking points. Probably has nothing to do with the fact that only one more person is all that’s required to force a vote on the Epstein files. Why are they so scared? And why didn’t you know about it?

And who would this war be with?

Wait? We had a civil war?

You guys see the warzone that is Portland? https://x.com/BoLoudon/status/1975665503759966258 Should probably call up federal troops to put down the uprising. Probably around 2003. Afghanistan was a good time where 90% of society was on the same page, ever so briefly - Bush overextended - here we are. Had a chance in 2008 to come together against the 1% who caused the financial crash but turns out they own the media and convinced that movement to focus on Obamas birth certificate instead of systemic class problems. Then citizens united happened in 2010 and the country’s fate was sealed. And voila, here we are. Many otherwise well intentioned people on here no longer know if the Russians are the bad guys - but they damn well hate the “progressives.” It is a deep symptom of societal rot when it is partisan to want to know who is associated with epstein.

In the US of today, partisan identity has replaced national identity.

Well that response doesn't make any sense at all.
-
Ends justify the means, eh?
-
Curious why you would say that about Massie. Which of his stances are “hot air?” MTG has legitimate conspiracy theory brain. Big difference between that and having some sort of values. Is it just the Epstein thing?
-
Republicans calling out Mike Johnson saying he’s complicit in covering up the files.

Commanders are dropping like flies this year

Ironically this response is a masterclass in fallacies. Whataboutism (“others waste money too”), false equivalence (comparing a mass GO recall for every senior leader to routine TDYs), red herring (ranting about DoD identity when the question was whether the TDY was justified), ad hominem (calling folks political hacks, retarded), and a false dilemma (“either in person or useless Teams call”). Nice work dudes!
