Well those far right GOBers are falling apart!

My sister being one of them! “How dare McCarthy make a deal with the Biden criminal family”? Her words, not mine!!

Gotta love it when the pressure is on them!

She stopped by to see my mom & starting talking crap! I just got up and left the room. No sense even talking about it with her! But I could hear telling my mom that Biden’s budget was bad for the country and the economy. I thought to myself “no shit”, but then my mom responded “it isn’t Biden who set the budget and the the Republicans have had plenty of time to get done before now”. My sister decided to leave just shortly after that!

don't question what they hear that doesn't make sense.

Justice matters.

19. Probably because they 'hear' and view the same 'faux outrage' day in day out

5. I am amazed at people who discuss issues

they really know nothing about. Personally, when I am ignorant on a subject, I generally keep my mouth shut, unless it is to ask a question.

...after weeks of McCarthy on Twitter endlessly goading that Biden need to 'come to the table and make a deal'.

They're never happy.

Also McCarthy is now crowing like they accomplished something. I mean, I guess punching a hole in your own boat and then plugging it before it sinks is an "accomplishment".

14. Well yeah, in a sense that IS an accomplishment!

Of course, he knows it is all smoke and mirrors, but he also knows how incredibly gullible the base is. The problem, however, is that rabid base won't ever be happy no matter what the fool does.

McCarthy sought out possibly the worse job in American politics if you are a republican. Be careful what you wish for Kevin, you just might get it.

7. Ask for specifics. What exactly in Biden's budget agenda is bad for the country and economy?

Then we can debate those specifics on their merits. That's usually followed by flustering and then crickets because they haven't got a clue what the details are. Only that if Biden advocates it, it must be bad, bad.

No worries. I have a couple nuts in my family I've not spoken a word to since 2016.

11. "Biden crime family" ?????

Has a court of law made that determination ?

I have had it with these maggots who swallow every mouthful from the BULLSHIT FACTORY (as Jim Acosta called Fox), and don't spent a minute doing their own research or their own thinking.

Which is, real. So the Bush Family Evil Empire hires liars to lie in order to keep attention from their own sundry treasons and insider criminal operations. Ask Clarence Thomas, shown above with George Herbert Walker Bush, just after he was tapped to join SCOTUS almost 32 years ago.

If that's not feasible for you, at least make her something really nice.
