House Republicans are fighting over how to avoid a government shutdown, and whether to de-fund Jack Smith, Ukraine and nearly everything else.
But no plan they come up with will pass the Senate anyway.

Richard Nixon was nearly impeached, because he abused presidential power by corrupting DOJ,
Republicans impeached Bill Clinton because Nixon had been forced to resign, and they craved vengeance. They used a consensual blow job as an excuse.

For people who object to comparing extremists like Trump, Jordan, DeSantis or MTG to Hitler, remember even Hitler wasn't Hitler until he was.
The point is, they all use the same techniques and share the same rhetoric and strive for the same absolute power by attacking democracy.

Republican fascist techniques, strategy and propaganda are all geared toward exhausting you, so you become cynical, apathetic, confused, or too tired to keep fighting.
They won't EVER give up.
If YOU give up, everything you care about is dead.
And everyONE you care about, too.

In an unprecedented show of brilliant negotiating skills on live TV, President Biden got unanimous agreement from Republicans to raise the debt limit, and to make no changes to Social Security, Medicaid or Medicare benefits.
He is NOT "too old." Sharp as cut glass.

In 1988, the short-lived TV series Max Headroom did an episode on the death of public schools. Only wealthy people could afford to send their kids to private schools. The plot revolved around Americans being sent to prison for providing poor people with bootleg educational video tapes.

The two things to remember about the balloon being shot down are: 1) Republicans are trying to kill Social Security and Medicare, and 2) President Biden created over twelve million jobs in just two years.

There used to be "serious" Republicans. Politicians that actually cared about the economy, about national security, about the Constitution, etc.
There are no serious Republicans left. They're all clowns, performance artists, conmen, & frauds now. None of them can be taken seriously.

A reminder:
Yes, of course Trump should be indicted for his crimes, but keep in mind that being indicted or even convicted doesn't prevent him from running for office, and he will use it in all his fundraising emails.
Yes, he should be indicted anyway. Realize, we still have to vote for Dems.

But even putting this stuff aside, when House Republicans start complaining about it, we'll have to remember that all of this happened when Trump was in charge, which I think House Republicans will try not to mention.

Notice that with all the rightists insisting the balloon could have been shot down with a rifle or a slingshot or something, no one actually did that.
Mostly because they were wrong. It couldn't be done. Duh.
Also because they weren't serious and just wanted to whine.
