28. First on the Agenda
Wed Oct 25, 2023, 01:26 PM
Oct 2023

1. Impeachment of Joseph R. Biden
2. National ban on abortion
3. Revamping/Defunding Social Security and Medicaid/Medicare
4. Some sort of ban on the LGBT community
5. Attempt to defund the DOJ
6. Pass a draconian budget bill that has no chance of passing the Senate and then try to blame the Democrats for the government shutdown.

I could list more but the crazies are fully in charge now in the house and hopefully America will see them for who they are.
Personally I am only worried about the budget as that directly impacts people's daily lives and you now have a bunch of hostage takers in charge.
On a different note how quickly will Kevin McCarthy be kicked out of the speakers office. My bet is by 5pm this evening. Guarantee you Matt Gaetz will film the whole thing.
