  1. Then they high fived each other for following Trump’s bidding. Now off to try to give him the recession he also wants.   /s

  2. Whelp, too bad I guess. All that and you throw it away at the last minute due to a tyrant in diapers…

  5. It’s right wing propaganda that make them look like heroes. Sad.

  6. If you don’t want to serve the public then PLEASE don’t become a public servant.

  7. But….r/conservative told me you were a brainwashed fool if you believed this….

  9. “But the big orange boss said no, so…y’know? Go us!”

  10. This just shows how spineless they are and how obedient to the Orange Menace they must be. I mean fuck the US and your constituents right? The rapist who used to work here said no, what else could I do?!

  11. Well the next time they do this, just say no. If they can’t even agree on their own bill that they asked for, why even go to them in the first place? I can’t wait for the day when the Dems get a super-majority and fix our voting system.

  13. I for one applaud the great diaperred one for convincing the entirety of his MAGA Club to blow the other foot off too.

    Well done sir! 🫡

  14. Trump is pimpin’ Republicans, they are street walkers for him.

  16. They don’t care about actually doing their job only fighting the good fight against woke Disney movies or HBO shows or children’s picture books.

  17. Keep in mind that even the Republicans who co-sponsored the bill said publicly that their objections made no sense because there was no way to know what was in it without reading it, which they couldn’t have since it hadn’t been released.

    So when they say the bill didn’t go far enough, when they say there was too much pork in the bill, when they say literally anything about why they rejected it, it’s 100% performance. They never had any intention of actually legislating.

  18. Sounds like voting republican is the worst decision possible.

  20. Name and shame is the only way to get rid of them , their base will view them as traitors if they even think wrong.

  21. It ended ‘catch and release’.

    Abbott was shipping migrants across the country to get attention on that issue and Democrats agreed to try and end the process much to a progressives dismay.

    And, Republicans blocked it!

  22. Run on this,call them out for hypocrisy. Break the media bubble no matter what it takes.

  24. Enjoy your MAGA shit sandwich, GOP. You worked hard for it.

  25. Imagine how well it would look to your base (in an election year!) to come back and say “look, we got this great deal that has almost everything we wanted…we are working toward our goals and stuck it to the democrat’s!” but instead they are more concerned about “giving Biden credit”. It boggles my mind that they wont even take a WIN if it can somehow make it look like Biden, or any democrat, looks good.

  27. Killing the bill aside, bringing two votes to the floor and losing both must be historic.

    The only person happy about this whole situation is Kevin McCarthy.

  28. The past (checks calendar) 13 months have seen the party of MAGA & Y’allqueda shooting themselves in the foot so many times, that gun MUST be belt-fed at this point.

  29. Trump is the gift that keeps on giving (to Democrats)

  30. Republicans don’t want to fix problems. Who is surprised anymore?

  31. I guess the Democrats will just have to come back in 2024 and make one that’s better with their double majorities and presidency 🤷‍♂️

    All the gerrymandered states are losing legal cases and the GOP may have just become fringe overnight.

  32. Republicans would rather the country fall than give The Dems a win. They got most of what they asked for, and threw it away because they simply cannot and will not compromise or govern.

    They cower before the lunatic fringe.

    Shameful.

  33. Gonna keep posting in every thread that pops up – as a dem voter im glad this happened, the deal was everything the gop wanted and doesn’t represent the values i hold. don’t reflexively support just anything because it might make the gop look bad, this was a bad bill

  34. Cheeto Benito pulled a “Tricky Dick” Nixon: Don’t fix the problem because I want to run for office based on fixing the problem.

    https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/nixon-prolonged-vietnam-war-for-political-gainand-johnson-knew-about-it-newly-unclassified-tapes-suggest-3595441/

    Nixon sabotaged Vietnam war peace talks so the war would continue, so he could run as the “stop the war” presidential candidate. This caused the deaths of an estimated 22,000 additional American soldiers.

    Oh, and Nixon won the election.

  35. The Overton window shifted right so fast that some republicans are finding themselves feeling displaced as the Democrats take up their old positions forcing them to find something to the right of “shut down the borders and support genocide.”

    Everyone is like “yay, fuck the Republicans” and I get that, but who exactly are we supposed to vote for if we DON’T hate immigrants or want to blow up brown people all over the world?

  36. Republicans have done nothing but waste time and bullshit ever since they hitched their wagon to Trump. How can they not see how fucking terrible it’s been for them

  37. The Republican Party clearly no longer exists, though that might not stop the political abomination that remains from winning elections via their rigged system. One can only hope this kills them off for good but they seem to have achieved an anti fragility that’s pretty concerning.

  38. If someone recorded Trumps calls to the Senators please make them public for the record. We could then hear the mobster.

  39. I know a lot of Republicans that like to run around saying that “you can’t fix stupid”. They are living proof of this!

  40. And they killed it for Trump. Spineless and pathetic.

  41. The GOP is the definition of the saying: “Cut off your nose to spite your face”.

  42. All so they can keep blaming the problem on Biden for 9 months. Really intelligent lawmaking

  43. if the dems compromised once, they’ll do it again, compromise/capitulation is their brand.

  46. Republicans DO NOT CARE ABOUT this country. Republicans ONLY CARE ABOUT RULING this country.

  47. republicans are not a serious party. they want america to be a giant church with guns. thats it.
