Clear and Present Danger

Here’s an email sent from Rep. Rob Wittman (R, VA-01) to everyone on his email list.  Look for a version of this to show up in newspapers in his district.

 

Friend,

Congress leaves today for a six-week-long August recess, and we are seriously behind schedule on passing government funding bills for Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25). It’s wholly unacceptable that Congress has failed to pass a budget on time since 1996, forcing our nation to rely on harmful stop-gap spending measures to avoid a government shutdown.

We must change the culture in Washington. Throughout my time in Congress, I have been adamant about restoring regular order in our budget and appropriations process. That’s why I reintroduced three pieces of legislation to hold Members accountable if they fail to get the job done on time:

• Inaction Has Consequences Act: Withholds Members’ pay if all 12 appropriations bills are not done by the end of the year.
• Stay on Schedule (S.O.S.) Resolution: Requires the House to remain in session through August, instead of taking a month-long recess, if all appropriations bills are not passed by the end of July.
• No Budget, No Pay Act: Withholds Members’ pay if a budget isn’t passed by April 15.

We owe it to the American people to get our job done and get our nation back on the right track. I’m a firm believer that transparency and accountability are essential to a properly functioning government, and I’ll continue to fight to hold Members of Congress accountable for their inaction.

Sincerely,

P.S. Do you know someone who would be interested in this information

Before you get to excited by this – – – Rob Wittman (R, VA-01) – – – is a do-nothing member of Congress.  He sends this or a similar letter about this time each year.  He knows his legislation will go nowhere, will not even get out of committee, but he also knows that to the goobers who vote for him, it makes him look like a busy, busy Representative. He’s not.  He lives in Montross, VA, which is a 2.5 hour drive from DC.  He drives to and from home every day Congress is in session, that’s how busy he is.

 

Here he is, front and center.  Tired old man who cannot keep a thought in his addled mind.

Former President Donald Trump is not happy about President Joe Biden dropping out of the race, and he’s been blasting Democrats for making his campaign “start all over.”

The former president has posted several angry rants on his social platform, Truth Social, accusing Democrats of wasting Republicans’ time and money. He even alleged that their last-minute switch-up all but replacing Biden with Vice President Kamala Harris amounted to fraud.

“So, we are forced to spend time and money on fighting Crooked Joe Biden, he polls badly after having a terrible debate, and quits the race,” the Republican presidential nominee wrote Sunday on Truth. “Now we have to start all over again. Shouldn’t the Republican Party be reimbursed for fraud in that everybody around Joe, including his doctors and the Fake News Media, knew he was not capable of running for, or being, President? Just askin’?”

He then wrote on Monday night that Democrats misled “the Republican Party, causing it to waste a great deal of time and money.”

 

“Shouldn’t the Republican Party be reimbursed for fraud. . . ”  Sure thing, Donald, sure thing.  You will be reimbursed as soon as you go back 50 years and pay in full the 4,000 or so contractors that you stiffed by not paying them the contracted amount and that you drove into bankruptcy.

 

Sure thing, Donald, sure thing.

 

 

 

 

 

Memo to Stew Peters:  GFY.

Meanwhile — J.D. Vance’s wife’s name is Usha Chilukuri – – her family is from South Asia, India to be exact, she is a practicing Hindu.

The Republican Party (and the rest of the nation) MUST move on from Trump, and the way that that will happen is that he and the Republican Party are not just defeated but repudiated and all but destroyed. 

In fact, the Republican Party is going to be historically renounced and repudiated in November. I think the Republican Party knows this.  Then, after November, the Republican Party can come to its senses, dump Trump and the MAGAts, dump the gunnuts, dump the white supremacists and the biblethumpers, dump the old Tea Partiers, and get back to governing.

Go fuck yourself, you ignorant piece of shit.

Republican representative Andy Ogles of Tennessee has introduced articles of impeachment against Kamala Harris for high crimes and misdemeanors.

The articles blame Harris for a crisis at the southern border, claiming that she had failed her duties as “border czar”.

The deeply political effort is unlikely to get very far. Harris was never a “border czar” – that’s a misleading label that Republican critics applied to her. Harris was never put in charge of overseeing border or immigration policy. Rather, she was tasked with handling diplomatic efforts to address the root causes driving a surge of migration to the US –namely, poverty and instability in central America.
