US Elections (& Politics) :)

Even if I'm now retired and payed into the system my whole life?
You still pay taxes, right. I am retired and still pay taxes on income and real estate.
 
Yes, but the statement was, "If you receive more money from the government than what you pay you are not able to vote." I now receive more than I pay in (though not as much as I already paid in)...

Hey Congress,
“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many".(Matthew 7:13)
What will they sell their souls for? Maybe a gold key the the restroom!
I will stand with the minority!
 
 
So... anybody else notice how the biggest shenanigans always seem to happen after business close on a Friday so that it's stale news come Monday? Well, the 14th vote for Speaker is going to happen at 10pm tonight. Any body want to bet against McSwamp getting voted in as Speaker tonight?
 
I'm more pissed the number of people voting for someone OTHER than McSwampAssCarthy decreased instead of increased today.
My thoughts on this:
a) they just wanted it all to be over with and go away (seriously poor choice)
b) they were told to let it go and it would be addressed in the VERY near future. (hopeful thinking)
c) their lives and/or families were threatened (what I HATE thinking)

What I'm reading at Just The News tells me the people who flipped to supporting McCarthy received promises in exchange for their votes.

I do believe we all understand, unless that promise came from DJT, it's not worth soiled toilet tissue, because it's the fucking Washington, DC swamp. :angry:

Separate, later item at Just The News :
"The devil is in the details, and we'll take our time to ensure it's right, not easy," wrote House Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry Thursday evening. "One way or another, the status quo must go."

WOW, we get to watch sausage making, to server up to us. Right after congress has a great steak dinner.
So we get the scraps made into some kind of sausage burger of SHIP in the middle of the night!

How would you like the 15 semi-rinos that defected be your "fox-hole buddy"? Or, would you prefer Judas?
At least one would know what Judas would sell one out for $30 cash.
 
Interesting to watch the screen, when the congressmen are asked to vote electronically, and then the democrats numbers keep changing on the "yea's". One would think, once you locked in your vote, it couldn't be changed. Is the houses electronic voting system controlled by Dominion??
