'Masochist' Republicans are poised to hand Democrats a gift: WSJ editors

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Anew proposal coming from the House Republicans who have taken over the chamber after the midterm election is setting off alarm bells with members of the conservative Wall Street Journal's editorial board.

Now that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has finally been sworn in and work has begun, members of the majority caucus are rushing to pass proposals they have been sitting on and a bill being forwarded by Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA) could come back to haunt the GOP when the 2024 election rolls around.

As the editors point out, Republicans can't seem to stop shooting themselves in the foot with unpopular m bills that will become fodder for future Democratic attack ads.

Calling the GOP caucus "masochists," the editors cautioned House Republicans to kill Carter's bill that would create national sales tax among other changes before it reaches a floor vote or suffer the consequences later.

1. Joe Biden told America: The best ideas win

That is the essence of democracy. Don't deprive Republicans of submitting their best ideas. Even if they are losing ideas that harm Republicans. In fact, send more.

2. I'm almost at a point where

I think if they put a vote on the floor to expel George Santos, Democrats shouldn't vote for it. Make them sorry for the next two years that they seated him to begin with.

3. As Napoleon supposedly once said....

Never interrupt your opponent when they're making a mistake. It's bad manners.

4. That's the real danger of extreme gerrymandering

These nuts are in a bubble of nuts and they don’t know this shit stinks outside that bubble.

5. They should also pass a bill to abolish Social Security and Medicare

And give a Congressional Gold Medal to every Jan. 6 insurrectionist in prison.

Do it ASAP.

6. The Dumbshit Caucus is Sado/Masochistic

Call it what is, wsj.

7. Because Trumpism is sado/masochistic

And Magatism is sado-masochistic.
Please daddy hit me again.

8. The "work has begun," WSJ?

What "work" would that be? All I'm seeing is a parade of peacocks and jackasses strutting and preening as if being sworn into office is as much as they hope to accomplish.
