He was probably afraid that Republicans would lose too many seats in 2022, but even though they won the House it has hardly been a win. All their House majority has accomplished is to showcase for voters what loons are now in the Republican Party. Republicans had an opportunity to sideline Trump forever, and they were too stupid to do it.

He doesn't care about the country, only himself - just like Donald Dump.

for most everything, especially his absolute 180 degree opportunistic hypocrisy stealing two SC seats. ("Presidents shouldn't appoint in the last year of their term"/"let's rush ACB through in the last two weeks of a republican president's term despite RBG not even having grown cold yet..." )

The only minor advantage is he's lawful evil instead of chaotic neutral like 45 (lawful evil = generally malicious, but a rule-follower - especially how the rules can be manipulated to his advantage - working within a system instead of trying to overthrow it like with his "desk-drawer veto" ) and that Biden and he go way back and are buddies so he might have a tiny soft spot in his evil black heart when he negotiates with Joe.

(I dub Trump chaotic neutral because he has no problem stepping over the line of any system or rules that don't benefit him, and will always choose what's beneficial for himself and his bottom-line intentions.)

If we ever get our democracy back to a state where we can pass laws to protect it better from charlatans and insurrectionists, we need to constantly remind whoever is in the halls of Congress that doesn't want our country to turn into Russia, Hungry or North Korea. Those trumpers being interviewed at his rallies are the dumbest stumps I have ever seen or heard.

was one of the Republican's greatest creators, if not THE creator of their Frankenstein's Monster, and now they are running scared........

McConnell was running the "Rah-Rah" Trump show, every step of the way. Every Hour, Every Day, Every Week, Every Month for over FOUR F***ING YEARS.........

If the history books are truthful, they won't be very complimentary.

given the menagerie in the House?

Speaker Moses is too terrified of his own side of the aisle to bring anything to the floor. Is Mitch gonna send in some muscle with black bags to put over heads and a big bus to whisk them away long enough for DEMs and the few half way sane GOP Reps to get the work done?

Lots of people are gonna suffer.

This is all a strategy game to Mitch.

This GOP pol fear of pissing off stupid voters with short memories and shorter fuses is why the GOP is in the mess it is in, and why the nation is at risk of total chaos.

like turtleboy did - you think they’d still be in office, let alone be one of thee most powerful people in Washington??? The double standard drives me nuttier than I unfortunately am.

Short of feds rushing into the house and arresting the several rwnj who aided and abetted the J6 coup, thereby breaking their grip on the national economy by removing the putin puppets from the process, I don't see the blackmail ending. And even then, the rwnj can probably vote from jail. gdi

A dominion Church member but he knows his b**** is is on t,he line. Most likely Democrat's will find enough decent Republicans to vote! There are ways Democrats can get it to the floor!

since rwnj gingrich pulled the idea out of his butt. Anyone who thinks the rwnj went off the rails when traitor entered politics didn't notice the early stages when stone aided and abetted nixon, the October Surprise, the smears against Bill Clinton, smearing John Kerry, the racism, the misogyny, the ageism, the rwnj weaponizing the budget, social programs, education, individual rights, including women's rights, LGBTQ+, voting rights, and relentlessly arming their rwnj army. I have no positive thoughts for anyone supporting the gop when they are like rats gnawing away at the basic structures our country was built on, trying to pull it down no matter the results. They don't even have the decency to feed the hungry.
I have 3 relatives volunteering at food banks. I thank God that our family doesn't need to be a client, but seeing the need when they volunteer is soul crushing. I guess rwnj don't have souls to crush.

Sharing food, whether giving, getting or sharing with each other, is lifting. I'm sick of hearing about the lowlifes that pass for elected officials. It says a lot that rwnj are meaner than Scrooge.

We know better than to trust you, Moscow mitch.

He doesn't give a damn about the welfare of America. He only marches to the orders of his monied patrons.

in this Shitshow of a party? He had his chance and muffed it. Leader my ass

Fucking liars. They have zero credibility.

And as soon as you get a phone call from Felonious Fucktard you will backtrack.

NO ONE believes you. Besides, MAGA Mike is all set to shut it down. Your words mean nothing.

That lasts for the rest of the fiscal year. Covering all spending bills. All.

Then Jeffries can get it through on one of his pre-greased discharge bills.

So prove it. Agree to it. Vote on it. Send it.

but the loons in the House of Reps are another matter entirely. And they don’t give a rat’s ass about you OR what you want. But at least they’re consistent. They don’t give a rat’s ass about anybody else or their needs, either.

the lunatics have overrun the asylum.
