Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸
@RepMTG

The Senate Democrats just passed an extremely dangerous bill that will raise your taxes, cause higher inflation, and create an armed IRS army that will target small businesses & the middle class.   And even worse, is using 100’s of billions of your tax dollars to force major..

...changes and rules to how America uses energy.

Dems are forcing an energy disaster on Americans in the name of climate lies.

You can barely afford your bills w/ Dem inflation, imagine us all having to rely on & charge Gov mandated EV’s on wind turbines & solar panels.

Everyone is pretty much assuming that the GOP will win the House.  I see that as doubtful.  Stolen elections will continue.

So what if they do win the House, and Senate too?  The Republicans won't lift a finger to repeal this monstrosity, insisting that it will take 60 Senate votes to do so.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Yes, that's pretty much the norm for the GOP.  They haven't done a darn thing of significance since Trump left office.  In the past even with a full majority they did nothing.

They are worthless.  IMHO it is more important to get as many conservatives seated at the state level, such as FL has right now. We need as many RED states as we can possibly get and then start firing back!! Abbott has his hands full, but he's firing back the best he can.

Trying to win this battle from the top down is futile. We either fight from the ground up or we lose.

When their plans for the US comes to fruition and people get hit again in their pocketbooks..trust me we will all be fighting from the ground up.. :bullie smokin:

Ok, great.  But what then?  What will the GOP do if it gets payback at the ballot box?  Will it repeal this nonsense?  Will it take serious, substantive steps to enact something more in line with traditional American values and virtues?  Will it start to carve away some of the bureaucratic overgrowth?

Or will there just be a bunch of show trials - Hunter Biden on Ice - that end in nothingness?  Sound and Fury, Signifying Nothing?

The GOP has no ideas.  Once they get 'revenge at the ballot box', they'll pass a corporate tax cut; conduct special investigations to nowhere; and that's it.  They'll play 'prevent defense' to hold on to power to accomplish nothing.

There is no governing agenda from congressional GOP leadership.    None.

I fear you may be correct, once again.

From Jan 2017 - Jan 2019, the GOP had the Whitehouse, the House, and the Senate ... they passed a corporate tax cut; could not get an infrastructure bill together; John Boehner cried; Paul Ryan listened to some Led Zepplin; and Mitch McConnell hid in his shell.

This is 100% on Turtle.  Never would have there been 60 votes on cloture in the first place if this SOB had done his job.

This slug HAS TO GO as Leader in  Jan '23!!!!!!

Nor did they fund and complete the border wall and implement stricter immigration laws with a zero tolerance for ILLEGAL border crossing!!!

They are useless as a party.  Let's Go Mitch!!!  FMM!!

Republicans are idiots.  They wanted this to pass so that they could use it in campaign ads.  Only the people get screwed.

Wanna bet once they come into power, they will not reverse any of it except the corporate tax and the energy sector taxes... Maybe the draconian tax that forces compliance with pharma price caps...

But the rest, including the additional IRS enforcement... That will stay.

Of course it will.  And Republicans will cry that they can't reverse it because they don't have 60 votes in the Senate.  So if you want it repealed, you will have to send more money to the GOP to win more elections.

Republicans are bleep.
