Chomper Higgot Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 The same idiots who couldn’t get enough votes for a shutdown think they can get enough votes for Trump as ‘Slurrer of the House’. The GOP are away with the fairies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just enjoy watching lefties' heads explode and knickers twist. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump would have to get virtually ALL the Republicans on board. He may get half to two thirds if some hold their nose BUT not all. There are some 20 something Republicans from districts that actually voted for Biden. Don't think the average Republicans wants to play a hand in giving TRump the power to creat more chaos and even shut down the government. Anyway, the Senate and White House are in the Dems hands and will snuff out any House shenanigans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Drake Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Trump has a record of non-performance. Doesn't come through on anything. Even has Biden building the border wall that he couldn't. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
