  1. If something is good for the country, of course it will benefit the party currently in the White House.

    You might even think it would benefit the party currently in control of the House of Representatives, too.

    Winning is clearly less important than making sure that Democrats, and especially Biden, lose.

  2. And that’s the attitude in congress that keeps immigration problem a problem

  3. Oh my god, Texas, why are you always involved in this kinda stuff?

  4. That seems about right. Everything else is secondary to making sure the left looks bad, even solving their own problems

    Hell, especially solving their own problems

  5. Republicans: We aren’t going to fund Lend-Lease.

    Republicans: Taft was the leader of the Republican Party’s conservative wing; he consistently denounced the New Deal as “socialism” and argued that it harmed America’s business interests and gave ever-greater control to the central government in Washington.

    Republicans: Noted fiscal hawk Barry Goldwater dismissed the lofty ambitions of lunar exploration as a “wasteful endeavor,”

    Always on the wrong side

  6. These politicians that are obstructing legislation should be impeached, recalled, fired, or whatever it is called for not performing their duties as elected officials.

  7. Yeah, that pretty much sums up Republican policy all together.

  8. “we don’t want to fight climate change because it may help our opponent”

    “We don’t want to stop persecuting innocent people because it may help our opponent”

  9. Folks: Do not forget this. Every single time there’s a comment about Biden “failing to secure the border”, point to Troy Niehls saying that he’d rather give up because it would ‘benefit Biden politically’.

    The border is not a serious concern to Republicans. It is a cudgel.

  10. Which means they’re dead set on shutting down the government, thinking that that’ll hurt Biden.

  11. >”I’m not willing to do too damn much right now to help a Democrat,” said Rep. Troy Nehls.

    Troy Nehls is the rep who, during the most recent speaker votes, explicitly said that his number one priority in every decision he makes is helping Trump get back in the White House.

  12. We don’t need people in government who are there to hate. We need people who are willing to work with others. This dipshit needs to go.

  13. They want a perpetual border problem because it’s one of their only talking points.

    Republicans offer grievences not solutions.

  14. Why would you fix a problem that drives voters to you? They’re not gonna catch the car like they did with Roe on this one.

    R’s want the border to be as bad as possible.

  15. It’s not about the economy, emigration, women’s sports, or any thing else they come up with it’s about culture. They have decided they will enforce their culture and will do any thing to make this happen. It’s purely liberal culture they hate and they won’t stop till it’s destroyed or liberals pull their heads out their ass and fight back

  16. They do not give a shit about fixing the problems they complain about. Only using them to drum up votes. It is absolute insanity that people still vote for these assholes.

  17. This kind of shit makes me furious! If any of us were to say in our places of work that we refused to collaborate and work on the common mission of our employer just because someone else may benefit from it, we’d be fired in a heart beat!

    It is time we fire these idiots! Every single one of them who is refusing to do their jobs should be fired!

  18. They can brag about doing active harm to the country and not suffer for it at the polls.

    Fox News, and the right wing propaganda sphere in general, have ruined our country. Republican voters would rather hurt Democrats than improve the country as a whole.

  19. Republicans: “SECURE THE BORDER, BIDEN!”

    Biden: “Okay. Here’s my plan.”

    Republicans: “NO!”

    Republicans: “IT’S BIDEN’S FAULT!”

    Every fucking time.

  20. Because conservatives don’t care about America.

    It’s all about owning the libs at any cost, even if the cost is the end of Democracy.

    Conservatives are shit people.

  21. Surely the republican base is informed of this and knows who to blame for their “border crisis”

    Haha I’m kidding their masters won’t tell them this

  22. Those are the dear leader Stinky Don’s instructions. He actually want them to shut the government down, he thinks it’s going to help him shut down Jack smith and people will be pissed at Ol’Joe and he can get re-elected and then will declare himself King

  23. Just like the Infrastructure Bill. Republican pundits, and almost all of the Republicans in the House, were pissed it passed because it gave Biden victory.

  24. That’s the GOP; fuck the people, what’s the best action to maintain power.

  25. Gotta love when elected leaders do more to sabotage our country then actually lead it and get shit done. It’s maddening and infuriating. I’m so tired of it.

  26. It’s so ironic that when the Republicans held the house, senate and presidency, they did *zero* to fix it. Trump’s “wall” was a fucking joke. The truth is, the republicans don’t *want* to fix this “problem.” They need a wedge issue to feed the outrage machines at Faux News, Newsmax and hundreds of AM radio stations across the country.

  27. Rule or ruin. That’s the only guiding principle of the Republican Party.

  28. Republicans don’t want to govern. They just want to _RULE_. They have no solutions to issues facing America, all they have is __thoughts and prayers__.

  29. Then you know what, step the fuck down and let the adults try to fix all the broken stuff. At the very least sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up! You can’t complain about a situation you’re unwilling to do anything about, fuckstick!!!
