  1. Representative Chip Roy began yelling at members of his own party during a House hearing.

  2. We need to take the House back from Republicans. For their own sake.

  3. The perfect embodiment of everything wrong with today’s GOP: FFS they had full majority for 2 years .. 5 YEARS AGO, and they’re still butthurt that they didn’t do shit with it. Last time Democrats had the full majority, we got the ACA.

  4. You sure four posts of the same article is enough? I’d make it five /s

    Edit: Actually it seems like my reddit feed may be busted

  5. answer – turning into the MAGA equivalent of the brown shirts.

  6. Another great example of how the Republican shit-show writes Biden’s campaign ads for him.

  7. Ahh the GOP where they want to lead/govern but doesn’t want to lead/govern

  8. Just saying Chip Roy is a big part of why things are not getting done as a proud member of the freedom caucus who basically oppose anything that is not far right and kill it.

  9. What has that dude done other than be a traitor and a fascist. Who is he to talk?

  10. I feel for him, but also, how?! How can his brain go “Damn, my party doesn’t do anything but act inappropriately in public, but they’re _definitely_ right about the toughest issues of our time”?!?!

  11. Dip Chip Roy is a Texas congressman in the deep red Texas Hill Country. He actually could be primaried for not being hard right enough. Trump hates him because he voted to certify Biden’s election win. He also was the first in congress to endorse Gov Desantis. So with the MAGA base against him all this is performative to save his seat.

  12. Roy’s a contributor to the current state of the GOP, but he’s got a point here:

    >One thing. I want my Republican colleagues to give me one thing. One. That I can go campaign on and say we did,…Anybody sitting in the complex, if you want to come down to the floor and come explain to me one material, meaningful, significant thing the Republican majority has done besides well, ‘I guess it’s not as bad as the Democrats’

    The GOP doesn’t pass legislation. They sit around and at the end say “Well, just imagine what would have happened if the Democrats were in charge!” and act like they did everyone a favor by doing nothing.

  13. I hope Chip Roy just quits. He’s a useless whiner that knows his extreme positions deserve to die. Bi-partisan vote carries by what, a hundred votes? Duh.

  14. It’s got to be because they all have brain worms, right?

  15. So what did Chip do other than being an obstructionist ahole?

  16. He went there to repeal Obamacare and shutdown government.

  17. Why are there so many duplicate articles on this subreddit? Can we get some actual moderation here please?

  18. How cute, he thinks republicans are the party of progress and action. Adorbs!!!

  19. “Are we the clouds that old men yell at now?” – GOP

  20. News
    Flash.

    Nothing. Nothing at all. That’s the point. Have to prove government doesn’t work.

  21. Same fuckery they’ve been up to for 7 years now.

    Which is the same fuckery they’ve been up to for decades, just more intense.

    You mean you’ve just now noticed, in November of 2023 that the Republican Party is a mix between a psych ward and a criminal organization?

  22. “Chaos and the inability to get stuff done is what we want.” – Chip
    Roy

  23. > Anybody sitting in the complex, if you want to come down to the floor and come explain to me one material, meaningful, significant thing the Republican majority has done

    *Raises hand and clears throat

    Well, let’s see. Elected a speaker, who made deals and then broke them, brought us to the verge of a shutdown, threw his hands up in defeat (because of assholes like you, Chip), and blamed it on Democrats.

    Voted to oust said speaker.

    Spent 3 weeks to elect an inexperienced (but obviously one of your own crazed MAGA lunatics) junior as speaker.

    Brought the nation to the bleeding edge of shutdown again.

    Passed a two-tiered CR….so we can fight this same battle again not once but TWICE!

    As a reminder, Chip – YOU DID THIS.

  24. I’m guessing this is his last term. Whether by choice or being voted out by the psychos

  25. The one thing they did do was fail to pass a budget. In fairness though, they only had a full year to work on it.

  26. If you are looking for governing in this government you came to the wrong place. The GOP intentionally wants things to get as bad as possible so that they can pin the blame on Biden.

  27. Much like traffic, dude you aren’t sitting in traffic YOU are the traffic

  28. Chip Roy is a crazy person who is yelling that his party didn’t get extreme far-right stuff done.

  29. He is yelling that they have to act like adults instead of spoiled brats. He is complaining that they haven’t given him anything to campaign on. They didn’t give you anything to campaign on when you had all the branches of government and you still got elected… How about you try to pass some meaningful legislation instead of shouting like a deranged lunatic.

  30. All Republican politicians are responsible for trump. For as long as they’ve served as republicans in an elected position they understood that they got there by aligning with a party that needed the support of racists, bigots, misogynists, and any number of other awful groups in order to win elections. They got a free pass because those groups were marginalized inside the party. Now they are the party. We can’t let this stain wash off. They knew whose vote they needed. Everyone that still aligns with the republican party are complicit.

  31. Wait wait I know! Slowly destroying America with either terrible legislation or by grinding the government to a halt for no good reason other than to follow your fascist leader because he’s incapable of admitting that he’s a fucking loser?

  32. Now will the Democrats be able to take advantage of this opportunity with Republicans feeding on Republicans or will they let it go for not? I don’t know what their strategy is but they need to get it started now.

  33. One of those “good republicans” that will vote party line and give the craziest of his chamber a voice.

  34. Playing Putin’s game…that’s it. Deflecting for Trump/War….etc.

  35. Wait until the senate falls in to republican control next year, no appointments will be possible.

  36. Damn Chippy, you’re starting to sound like some of those vermin your Boss has been talking about…. B careful Chip. He’s making a list & checking it twice.

  37. Fuck Chip Roy. He’s stolen Austin and San Antonio votes and representation for years. He shouldn’t even be in office. He’s only there based on pure Gerry Mandering.

    This bigot is just another Republican fail son.

  38. Chip Roy is an asshole who just realized his party is a bunch of grifters. Fuck that guy and all of his friends.

  39. c’mon, be fair. they’re lying about the 2020 election, denying pregnant women the right to travel outside of texas, denying women their civil rights, telling us what movies and books we’re aloud to read, who we’re aloud to love, kissing trump’s ass while he kisses dictators’ asses, denying minorities their voting rights, introducing plans to cut social security and medicare, threatening violence against people who disagree with them, flushing the constitution down the toilet, flushing our votes down the toilet, flushing democracy down the toilet, trying to shut the government down, trying to deny lgbtq+ folks their civil rights, encouraging the actions of the klan and neo-nazis which comprise their base, losing in court hundreds of times over lying about jan 6 and participating in an insurrection and threatening peoples lives and fraud, trying to install a fascist dictator, etc. not sure what any of that stuff has to do with less taxes and smaller government, but they sound busy as fuck to me.
