-40% pay raise for Congress

Shouldn't you're ire be directed at the folks you vote for and not lefties? This would be expected from the left, no? "Congrats water on being wet!!".

Conservatives are supposed to be the counter to progressives. Help reign in spending. But you all haven't voted many actual conservatives into office in like 25 years. Spending has been as bad or worse under Republican leadership.

My understanding is that the vote was 212-212, Johnson voted to pass.
Non reach-around Republicans didn't vote for Swampy Johnson as Speaker for just this reason.

Nothing has even been voted on... WTF are you are talking about?


What Republicans didn't vote for Johnson for Speaker?

A hand full of MAGA Moron RINO Republicans voted against him last year. His support this year was unanimous from Republicans to retain the job. The MAGA Morons in the House aren't the solution, they're the problem.

That would be bad if it was true.

Wait until you hear about the Earth being flat. Ty has the scoop. He watched YouTube.

That would be bad if it was true.

I have not read the bill, but my understanding based on some posts here is that the amount of the 40% raise is questionable, are there other fallacies in this list?

Every member is the problem. Both parties.

That’s been used in the nonprofit world for years. People are nuts

 

[Hoopsdoc1978]

Is there any truth to the part where they give themselves immunity?

That would be insanity.

Trump said yesterday that he would consider eliminating the debt ceiling. Hmm. Not very "conservative" of him.

There's a case to be made for ignoring the debt ceiling, that the spending authorization effectively is what determines the debt and the ceiling is an artificial construct that can't limit the power of Congress to spend money.

I think it's a strong case. Unfortunately, it's a political loser because people are idiots.
