Hah! At 68-32 in Tennessee, he's probably safe.

Maybe. Depends how many East Coasters continue to flood there to escape the nonsense policies.

How about this Paul? Not another dime in Foreign Aid of any kind until our, the US border and sovereignty are restored.

I think this would have quite the opposite effect.

On the border?

Why? We spend billions and people are flooding in now. Are you seriously saying if we give more people will stop coming? Obviously, by what is happening that is flawed thinking.

Maybe you can schuss over there and straighten them out.

This Menendez guy from NJ is apparently very, very stupid.

No kidding. He skated the first time and you would think he'd know they'd be following him.
Sort of puts to bed the whole nonsense of the DOJ being weaponized against R's.

Say what you will about Pelosi. But she knew how to manage her caucus, and get the important work of government done.
Even some Republicans understand that. If the only way to keep the doors open is to get some reasonable R's to join with D's to pass a budget, that would probably cost McCarthy his speakership.

Yet, these idiots in Washington will still get paid when they shut the government down at the end of next week. Pay the idiots for causing the lockdown and force people to work without paying them. Seems about right.

Thankfully they've at least passed laws giving government employees back pay in the event that they do get shut down.

There's also bills being proposed that would cut off pay for Congress should they allow the government to get shut down. Not sure if they have any chance of passing, though.
