So he stayed on just long enough to drop the biggest turd the Republicans have ever dropped, and then quit. What a massive fucking piece of shit.

Uh oh! Republicans better be CAREFUL! He's in a Red District and After passing this HORRIBLE Bill you KNOW that his Seat will be in No Danger Whatsoever because Republicans would LITERALLY RATHER DIE then to not Vote Republican!
219-212. Oh boy that's close.
"What did you vote on today honey?"
I don't know, they just told me to vote yes so I did.
"Won't that hurt your constituents?"
They will still vote for me so long as I have the right letter next to my name, they haven't even realized I can't read yet.
I mean...given how badly red districts will get absolutely fucked over by the Big Bloated Bill...there may be some(lottery tier) hope for some change?
They wont really feel it, until after midterms. By design of course.
yup they'll just say it's the democrats fault or something and the democrats will of course cower in fear and apologize while promising to keep things as they are. holy cow we are fucked, aren't we?
Republicans have been fucking their voters over for decades- as long as they keep fucking over people of color even harder, the white trash will believe they’re winning.
Well they would rather kill and eat "The Others" than take the time to understand if they are wrong or not.
I remember speaking to a very well educated lady who led sales. The company was in financial trouble and the CEO was discussing us using prison labour to do work because it was dirt cheap.
I was quite surprised and expressed a moral objection to using what I saw as slaver labour (this is in the US btw). The lady said and I still remember her "Well they should not have done something bad."
What astounded me was this lady college/grad school educated lady allowed herself to be this lazy with her reasoning. That was it - a kindy level nuanced thought backed by an adult level of cruelty.
Thankfully the CEO had more of a heart and since he had opened up the question to debate to hear all sides it was dropped (we all took a massive pay cut instead so we could maintain the most amount of headcount).
Point being, people are lazy thinkers and will eat their neighbours as long as there is something they can point out to create a division between the others and themselves.
They already thought about it. The visibly damaging provisions will start rolling in 2027. They will try to blame Democrats for it, and that is why ACA should be repealed.
This is why it's so important to come out ahead and set your conservative friends' expectation so they can't turn it around and say "see, nothing happened" or "I'm losing insurance, because Democrats won midterms"
They'll probably buy what Bullshit Mountain is shoveling (this is because Obama. Or because Hillary. Or Biden. Or because Kamala cackled that one time).
I cannot tell you how many dipshits I've heard say that Biden had "the worst economy ever", even when we could all see the actual economic indicators ourselves.
If they can buy that and still repeat that, even as dipshit Taco came in and started dropping his word salads related to tariffs and singlehandedly fucked the economy - then they can buy anything. Up is down, black is white.
Even if the House went back to Democratic control, I could still see plenty of Democrats fucking it all up as far as opposing anything from Taco and his crazy administration.
Or a bunch more randomly dying of old age because they refuse to retire. There's 3 open seats on the Dem side because of this.
Really that should 209-222 with the same 10 fucking democrats that keep voting for their own self interest through perks offered by the republicans. Stop giving false hope with that number.
Honestly, I thought this would happen a few months ago. These people are legitimately scared for their lives, and they should be.
They did something fucking horrible for the people they are supposed to represent, and they know it.
We just saw political targeting of local reps in Minnesota and Michigan. No reason that ain't coming for your dumbass in one of the most armed places in the country.
Green initially indicated he would run for re-election, only to announce on February 14, 2024, he announced that he would retire from Congress. However, two weeks later, Green reversed course and said he would run for re-election in 2024.

It’s a two year term he was elected to last fall. I really hope that he can’t hold any political position for wasting his constituents’s time and money.
This is the Republican Way.
