MTG's amendment to prevent the President from releasing any of the nation's strategic reserves, failed big-time. Both Reps and Dems voted her down. She only got 14 votes. And to rub it in, her former BFF Boebert tweeted; All three of my amendments passed! lol

prevent the President from releasing any of the nation's strategic reserves What would be the point? I know, if any Democrat says up, they say down, etc. Meanwhile, the GOP posted "Celebrate Black History Month, GOP will highlight incredible conservative Black men and women who have served our great nation." Also meanwhile, the Republican House Oversight Committee has disbanded the Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. I mean, can they be any more obvious with their idiocy?

MTG was beyond hyper-critical when the President released oil from the Strategic Reserve in his attempt to bring down high gas prices. Her amendment, if passed, would also have prevented future presidents (regardless of party) from using this "tool" for any other contingencies. Her plan wasn't well thought out, given that it could severely hamper a republican president too.
It's obvious all of these stunts are for revenge. But like MTG, if they're not careful, they'll shoot themselves in the foot. Voters are watching what they do with their majority in the House. Continuing to sow division and exacting payback won't win over the vast majority of Americans (Independents, Dems and Reps) that are tired of this path.

One more time with feeling. Never listen to what people say. Watch what they do. I'd like to take a peek at their shoes and look in their garage. I believe they all wear BIG red floppy clown shoes and drive little tiny cars that can hold 20 or more clowns. Did I say clowns? Oops. I meant reasonable and sensible politicians.

I GOT A CURIOUS EMAIL THAT THE THE Supreme Court WILL END VOTING RIGHTS AND THEN SOCIAL SECURITY WHAT SOCIAL SECURITY Amy, I get a lot of scary alarmist emails like that. Unfortunately our reality is indeed that scary but hopefully measures can be taken to prevent a total collapse.

One more time with feeling. Social Security is not, never has been, a handout! It's my money that was taken out of my very first paycheck when I started working at 17. So when I was a senior citizen (what 17 year old thinks about that?) I'd be secure. Now that I am an elderly woman the rules are changing.
How convenient. Could we be any more deceitful? I don't think so.

The bottom line is they want to rob us. What will that fake political party do with our money? Buy themselves another home, or yacht?
I have a better idea. I'd be willing to trade them my social security for theirs.
Is that crickets I hear?
They are so corrupt and evil. They make other crooks and liars look like babies in diapers with binkies in their lying mouths.
How do reasonable Republicans put up with this? Is this okay with them? Are they angry, embarrassed, and disgusted? Or, is it all fine and dandy with them?
I guess they're too busy picking on a man who covers his head because of the treatment he gets for cancer. Grand Old Party? There's not one damn thing grand about these thugs and bullies. Not one thing! They're cruel and mean humans.

If they want to do away with SS, then the solution is: pay back every cent that was paid in, with interest, in a lump sum to every person who paid into it. Instead, they'd rather lay claim to it as a "rainy day fund" and continue to rob it then whine about why it's having problems.

This new breed of republicans, imho, are nothing but a bunch of crooks. Social Security is not, I repeat, NOT a handout. It's my money that I had taken out of my paycheck for 30 years.
Have they no shame? Apparently not.

These apologists.. I mean analysts.. that say he "felt like he needed to lie to get ahead" are making me sick! A 3 year old knows right from wrong. We should expect more from our 'representatives'.

I can't even look at pictures of his face. He looks like characters in thriller movies where he's the creepy quiet kidnapper serial killer.
