Summary
The House GOP’s new rules package aims to weaken minority party influence while advancing a pro-corporate agenda.
Key provisions include shielding the House speaker from bipartisan accountability and fast-tracking 12 GOP bills without allowing amendments, including measures to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) and protect fracking.
Democrats, led by Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), criticized the package for ignoring economic and social issues like inflation and housing while prioritizing tax cuts for billionaires.
Republicans plan to offset these costs by slashing social programs, sparking warnings of further congressional dysfunction.
Thankfully, Biden is at least using his last hours in office to do something useful, like send Israel another $8bn in weapons.
Hey, he’s also giving Liz Cheney a medal…
from wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liz_Cheney
“Regarded as a leading ideological neoconservative[7][8][9] in the Bush–Cheney tradition as well as representative of the Republican establishment,[10] Cheney is known for her pro-business stances and hawkish foreign policy views.[11][12][13] She was once considered one of the leaders of the Republican Party’s neoconservative wing,[7] and was critical of the foreign policy of the Donald Trump administration while consistently voting in favor of Trump’s overall agenda”
So the Democratic party is giving medals to neocons who voted in favor of Trumps policies.
You couldnt make this stuff up. Stuff like this is why Bidens approval was too low to run and Harris got her tail kicked. Their idiot incompetence and hubris is why we will all now suffer.
And this is the person Harris touted as a win to the people Cheney hurt the most… And said she would be a good cabinet level position.
I’m only surprised it took this long for them to give republicans medals. Hell biden/Kamala were running on bush era policies and ideas while also saying we needed to go farther right…
But yeah it’s totally all on the voters.
You people are so fucking transparent with your desperate attempts to place blame anywhere but on yourself. Grow up.
If you’re old enough to vote, you’re old enough to take responsibility for the consequences of that vote (or abstention).
Our country is filled with idiots because we refuse to fix our education system (and one party just works to break it). The democrats needed to do more than just we’re gop-lite but they don’t want to win so they never do that.
Ah the classic the party can never fail only be failed
Trans people: “I don’t feel comfortable about voting for someone who openly doesn’t support life saving healthcare for me.”
Mexicans: “I don’t feel comfortable about voting for someone who keeps my kind locked away at the border but ignores it.”
Black people: “I don’t feel comfortable about voting for someone who proudly said ‘I’m not black if I don’t vote for him’ and said to fund the police to roaring applause during police brutality to my kind.”
Women: “I don’t feel comfortable about voting for someone who defended a rapist to get on the Supreme Court, and hasn’t protected my right to an abortion.”
Poor: “I don’t feel comfortable about voting for someone who ran on a platform of aiding the lowest class, but couldn’t push congress for affordable housing, workers rights, or higher wages.”
Muslims: “I don’t feel comfortable about voting for someone who openly kept selling weapons to people killing my family members.”
Disabled: “I don’t feel comfortable about voting for someone who has ignored COVID which impacts my kind the most, and doesn’t stop states from pushing anti-mask laws to harm protestors and the disabled.”
“Yeah but other than all of that, you should vote for this dude who openly hates you!”
Congratulations. You just made better campaign material than the dnc did this election.
Major reason why everyone is so fucking pissed off at how badly Biden and Kamala fumbled the election
