“If you buy a car,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre explained the other day, “you are expected to pay the monthly payment. ... It’s that simple.”
Is it? Now, obviously, those who argue that the president can cancel millions of student loans by decree aren’t in a position to offer lessons on personal responsibility. The deeper problem with Jean-Pierre’s analogy, though, is that there isn’t a bank on Earth that’s going to keep lines of credit open when a person is compounding unsustainable debt year after year.
Speaking of which, the federal government has already hit the debt limit. The Treasury Department is now relying on “extraordinary measures” that will sputter out by June, at which time we will all be forced to forage for food and barter for medicine. The only thing that can save us from this dystopian hellscape, Jean-Pierre explains, is for Congress to do its “job” and return to regular order.
The White House press secretary is apparently unaware that regular order would entail Senate Democrats passing a bill and then negotiating with House Republicans, who have already passed a bill raising the debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion into 2024.
Until this week, Democrats wouldn’t even talk to Republicans on the matter. In the old days, this kind of absolutist position would have every newspaper wringing its hands about GOP “obstructionism” and the dysfunction of the political system. Today, outlets like The New York Times simply pretend Republican bills are apparitions. “Are Republicans Willing to Raise the Debt Ceiling?” asks the editorial board this week.
Does the Times not know that the GOP has already agreed to lift the ceiling? They do. They pretend it isn’t real because it includes “deep cuts in federal spending” (by which they mean a return to last year’s discretionary spending levels, with no cuts moving forward), the reversal of “investments in tax enforcement” (some 80,000 new IRS cops monitoring, among other things, Venmo accounts with more than $600), a rollback of some “green energy” boondoggles, and so on.
And anyway, the Times notes, President Joe Biden has offered Republicans “a reasonable path to resolve the standoff” in which the GOP raises the ceiling without any conditions as Democrats demand, and then Biden will “separately negotiate measures to slow the growth of the federal debt.”
Dear Lord, can you imagine The New York Times editorial board urging Democrats to table their policy concerns and simply trust that a Republican president will negotiate in good faith at some undetermined, future time? And not any president, but one who claims a $3.5 trillion inflation-inducing bill “costs zero dollars.” So, not exactly a whiz with numbers.
But that’s not even the most ridiculous sentence in the editorial. The Times also contends that the debt ceiling “is not a useful mechanism for preventing the federal government from living beyond its means,” when that’s exactly why the law exists in the first place.
If the debt ceiling is mechanically lifted without any debate over spending, then it doesn’t really exist. If you want to spend without any limit, just say so. But even the Times concedes that Washington is “living beyond its means.” So, then, why is it more “reasonable” to negotiate the slowing of spending now, when the ceiling is in view, than a month from now or a year from now when there is no incentive to do anything?
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who for weeks was sending out snarky tweets demanding House Speaker Kevin McCarthy show the country his plan on the debt ceiling, won’t negotiate. And it’s clear that Biden is now pondering invoking the 14th Amendment and simply ignoring the debt ceiling much in the way he ignores the law on a slew of other issues. Such a move would almost surely be overturned by the Supreme Court — because, as Ilya Shapiro succinctly put it, “a constitutional provision that prevents repudiation of debt doesn’t also somehow authorize limitless new debt.”
Democrats spend their time blaming GOP administration for the preponderance of our debt — most of which Biden has voted for as a senator or helped shepherd through in the executive branch. No one is innocent on that front, of course, but most of our debt is propelled by constantly expanding entitlement programs, which are treated with a reverence by the left that the Constitution can never attain.
But even if the GOP were culpable for every single dollar of debt and were engaged in blatant hypocrisy, it wouldn’t change the fact that they are objectively correct today in arguing that we need to slow spending and mitigate debt. The arguments used to oppose even a modicum of responsible budgeting do not make any sense.

Check this for “blatant hypocrisy,” Mr. Harsanyi:
The Trump era tax cut for their donors set the record for the most debt added in a single four-year presidential term.
And yet Republicans lifted the debt ceiling without a peep every single time it came to a vote.
The time to argue about the spending by a government (as by a household or a business) is when the spending commitments are MADE, not when the bill comes DUE.
I say invoke the 14th amendment and let the Supreme Court decide.
We’ve seen from the greedy improprieties of this Republican Supreme Court that they’re highly unlikely to destroy the global economy when their own portfolios are at stake.
Let’s put an end to this foolishness once and for all and call the Republicans’ bluff.
As a proud Republican, I was thoroughly dismayed (at first) to hear House Oversight Committee Chairman, James Comer announce on FoxNews this Sunday that he ‘can’t track down’ the top informant in the Biden Crime family probe.
Initially, I simply couldn’t believe it! Just as we were wrapping up our exhaustive five-year investigation into Hunter Biden's tax affairs and the rot at the heart of the Biden Crime family, SOMEBODY MISPLACED THE SMOKING GUN‼️
The reliably conservative Washington Times had this to say about it:
“Comer and top GOP lawmakers in the House have alleged that Mr. Biden’s family members, including his son Hunter, received millions of dollars from foreign entities in China and Romania, including when Mr. Biden was vice president.”
“Well, unfortunately, we can’t track down the informant,” Mr. Comer said on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo.” “We’re hopeful that the informant is still there. The whistleblower knows the informant. The whistleblower is very credible.”
“Mr. Comer suggested that the White House was behind the informant’s unknown whereabouts, but he declined to elaborate and did not produce the evidence. But he said he is withholding it “for a later time” and that the informant is in the “spy business” who does not “make a habit of being seen a lot.”
Oh, boy‼️That’s a problem isn’t it? What can you do if the disappearing informant is under such “deep cover”?
So there’s no way to put out a missing persons bulletin, is there ⁉️
Or put his face on a milk carton with “HAVE YOU SEEN THIS PERSON” followed by the phone number of Comer’s House Oversight Committee⁉️
(Incidentally Mr. Comer’s House Oversight Committee phone number is 202-225-5074 in case any of my fellow Republicans has anything else Comer can investigate while he Twitters his thumbs waiting for the informant to get back to him.)
Anyways…
HOWEVER, the crucial sentence in the Washington Times article was this:
“Republican committee members have alleged that Mr. Biden was potentially influenced by foreign sources.”
Well, that last sentence calmed me down, fellow Republicans. And the key word is “alleged.”
Remember the seven investigations into Hillary Clinton and Benghazi?
Well those were all just allegations, too, weren’t they? But that was all we really needed. Lots of ALLEGATIONS‼️
And at the time, Speaker-to-be, Kevin McCarthy, hit the nail on the head. After all the Benghazi investigations were over he told respected Journalist, Sean Hannity:
“Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. And what are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping!”
Go Republicans ‼️
Evidence is for suckers! Lots of ALLEGATIONS are the key to winning the 2024 election‼️
The Durham Report is finally here‼️
Remember?
The Trump Administration’s Attorney General, William Barr selected Special Counsel John Durham to “investigate the investigators.” It began so long ago you may have forgotten.
Durham’s mission was to investigate how government agents hunted for links between the Trump campaign and Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
These Russian links were documented in the widely ignored Mueller Report after Mr. Barr mischaracterized Mueller’s finding weeks ahead of Barr’s eventual release of the Report.
Mr. Mueller’s written objections to Barr’s mischaracterizations came too late to affect public perceptions.
And - in fact - Durham’s mission wasn’t actually to disprove the thoroughly documented Mueller Report itself.
Instead, Durham’s mission was to prove that the government investigators broke the law in how they went about its investigation.
Durham’s investigation took almost four years, cost taxpayers more than $6.5 million and didn’t send a single person to jail.
Of course Trumpsters told us that Durham would uncover the “crime of the century.”
And Durham’s final report comes against a backdrop of Durham’s two failed prosecutions.
Durham didn’t recommend any new charges against any additional individuals and didn’t recommend any changes about how the FBI handles politically charged investigations.
In what has turned out to be a $6.5 million “Hand slap,” Durham did, however, strongly criticize the agency’s behavior.
And as indictments and convictions continue coming down on TrumpWorld, this is all Trumpsters will have to refer to.
Just like Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer’s investigation into Joe Biden’s “corruption,” this was a bust and an embarrassment.
At least Durham’s investigation came in at half a million less than the seven fruitless Benghazi investigations (7 million).
DEMOCRATIC CORRUPTION - DEMOCRATS HAVE REFUSED TO NEGOTIATE, DEMOCRATS WILL NOT BUDGE, YET THEY ARE TELLING ALL THE WORLD THAT AMERICAN'S WILL SUFFER IF WE DEFAULT. So then why don't democrats do all they can to not default, why don't they budge, why don't they negotiate, why does someone else have to give in to them in order to not default? If democrats are this wonderful party that does NO HARM to any citizen, then DON'T DEFAULT, do what you need to do so no one suffers. Democrats spent months just printing pile after pile of money in order to make the economy look good, now we are all suffering through inflation because of them, so why not print more piles and pile of money democrats, you did it before, now do it again? I, for one, hope we default, I hope Americans suffer more now than we already are, our country is in the trash already under democratic control, so let's make it worse, let's make the poor suffer even more, let's make the middle class suffer even more, it's what democrats want anyways, THEY WILL NOT NEGOTIATE, THEY WILL NOT BUDGE, IT'S THEIR WAY OR THE HIGHWAY. Democrats want America to be a 3rd world country, democrats want socialism, so let's do it, let's quit fighting the inevitable, if democrats didn't want any of this to happen, THEY WOULD NEGOTIATE, but Joey, the democratic party and the progressives have all said they will not negotiate, SO THEY ARE THE REASON WE ARE GOING TO DEFAULT. Good.
The case for “ DEMOCRATIC CORRUPTION” has gotten a bit more difficult to make with the Hunter/Biden Crime family investigation falling apart and with the Durham FBI investigation collapsing from the “crime of the century” into a “Serious Taking To.”
Hasn’t it, Biden/Voice/Project?
Meanwhile the indictments and convictions of various Trumpsters keep on coming.
DEMOCRATS WANT TO DEFAULT, evidence, they refuse to negotiate, they refuse to give any ground to anyone, THEY WANT TO DEFAULT - Members of the "Squad" are warning President Joe Biden that they will push back on a debt ceiling bill if they think he gave up too much to Republicans.
The president has drawn the line in the sand at the Inflation Reduction Act and other areas as non-starters in negotiations, but some of Congress's most liberal politicians are worried that Biden may make concessions in key areas important to the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) told Axios that it is "really important that we don't give ground" on areas such as welfare work requirements and energy permitting reform — two of many policies that House Republicans are looking to restrict or slash as part of the GOP's Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023.
Jayapal said that progressive leaders have been transparent about their thoughts on the debt ceiling debates.
"We have made it clear ... that if they give on these core Democratic values, there will be a huge backlash," she said, adding that there will be "backlash at the polling booth" with progressives not turning out.
I thought our country was in great shape? I thought Joey and the democrats were doing such a great job running our country that we had zero issues? Joey has told us all that he has lowered our debt by trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars, yet we need to raise the debt limit? Aren't we all doing better? Isn't our country prospering under the democrats? Aren't tax revenues up? Aren't the rich being taxed more? Aren't big corporations being taxed more, after all, democrats had complete control of the government for two straight years, yet they passed ZERO legislation that made things better in our country, only worse as we can all see now. AND NOW WE ARE GOING TO DEFAULT BECAUSE OF THE DEMOCRATS NOT NEGOTIATING AND NOT PASSING ANY MEANINGFUL LEGISLATION. And they sit back and say, why don't republicans fix this, what is their plan, it's their fault, it's their fault, it's their fault........ Folks, our country is not in good shape, we have run out of money, our debt keeps climbing, people are suffering more and more, our government is corrupt, we all have less money, we have more credit card debt than ever before in our nation, we have more poor, we have more on food stamps, we have more needing assistance AND WE ARE LETTING MILLIONS AND MILLIONS MORE ILLEGALLY INTO OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE OF JOE BIDEN'S OPEN SOUTHERN BORDER.........Our country is suffering, our people are suffering, our country is a failure and the democrats want it that way.
Once again you’re telling us that for two years Democrats had COMPLETE control of congress and the white house, yet they did not do anything to fix something or other (fill in the blank).
How many times will I have to remind you Re-electBiden/VoiceforAll/ProjectTruth?
Have you heard of the “filibuster,” old friend? 😊
Here’s a link in case you missed that chapter in seventh grade civics:
▪️About Filibusters and Cloture▪️
https://www.senate.gov/about/powers-procedures/filibusters-cloture.htm
Once you learn about the filibuster you’ll see why the Democrats never had “TOTAL CONTROL.”
In fact, some of us see the filibuster as an UNdemocratic construct that has no imperative grounding in Constitutional law, but allows a political minority to continually thwart the desires of the majority of the American people.
PS For someone with so many political opinions, you sure have a sketchy understanding of political realities. Again, why not check this out:

My dear Re-electBiden/VoiceforAll/ProjectTruth,
Do you threaten your wife with leaving your bills unpaid and ruining your credit if she doesn’t rein in her spending?
Probably not.
The time to argue about the spending by a government (as by a household or a business) is when the spending commitments are MADE, not when the bill comes DUE.
The Trump era tax cut for your donors set the record for the most debt added in a single four-year presidential term.
And yet you Republicans lifted the debt ceiling without a peep. Every single time it came to a vote.
Where was your righteous “all caps” outrage then, Mr. Biden/Voice/Project?
Republicans remember a commitment to fiscal responsibility only AFTER they’ve voted to spend the money. And only when Democrats are in the White House.
So I say invoke the 14th amendment and let the Supreme Court decide.
We’ve seen the greedy improprieties of this grifting Republican Supreme Court. I’m thinking they’re highly unlikely to destroy the global economy when their own precious portfolios are at stake.
What do you suppose Justice Thomas’ wealthy best friend, billionaire Harlan Crow will tell him to do?
Let’s put an end to this foolishness once and for all and call Republicans’ perennial debt ceiling bluffing.
Republicans are like terrorists in an elevator with a hand grenade. 💣
But there’s an important difference:
I don’t think they’re prepared to die. ⚰️
And this freakout by Re-electBiden/VoiceforAll/ProjectTruth reveals the truth behind this bluff.
Whaddya say we find out, Mr. Biden/Voice/Project?
Hey look, democrats are putting illegal immigrants in our children's schools now, I am sure these illegals are all trustworthy, good citizens that will cause zero harm to anyone, let alone our children, right? Just more proof that democrats REALLY don't care about us and ESPECIALLY our children, this is just another way of putting our children (not their children as the democrats want you to believe) in harms way, democrats just can't help themselves anymore, can they? - New York City Mayor Eric Adams and city leaders are facing outrage from residents for their decision to place migrants in several public schools.
Lakeisha Bowers, whose son graduated from a Brooklyn school now housing migrants, and NYC council member Ari Kagan said Tuesday to explain why community members are up in arms.
"It is not a hotel, it's not a shelter. It is a school gym. So the children of Coney Island should not pay for the misguided policies of the Biden administration," said Kagan.
According to New York Post, dozens of migrants will be housed at the gym outside the P.S. 188 Brooklyn elementary school with no timetable on how long the building will be used as an emergency site for migrants.
The migrants’ arrival comes just two days after the principal at PS 188 warned the city to choose the school facility as an emergency, temporary site for migrants.
Several migrant families were supposed to be sent to the stand-alone gym adjacent to the rest of the school building late last week, but the plan was put on hold amid community outrage.
"Why a school? That’s the part I don’t get. There’s always other options. A lot of the buildings around here, they have fallout shelters that are spacious, and used for emergencies," said a woman who lives near the Coney Island school.
The Big Apple continues to struggle mightily to house and care for the flood of migrants arriving from across the southern border – with many of them bussed from border states like Texas. Over the last year, tens of thousands of migrants have reached the city.
Did you hear senile old Joe is heading to the G-7 summit in Japan? If you are in need of some entertainment, go out and watch the broadcasts or videos of this failed president trying to give speeches and heck, just walk around over there. At no point will he ever be without someone walking close to him, he will have to be guided, he will have to be instructed on where to stand, where to sit, when he can leave, where to go, everything. In his speeches he will slur his words, he will bumble and stumble around, and it will all be done OUT ON THE WORLD STAGE. Ever watch foreign news agencies, where you actually get news and not the lies liberal "news" outlets tell you, go out and watch other news organizations, Joey is one big joke to them, they question what is going on in our country, they see the failures, they see the problems, and it is all being covered up by our own liberal "news" outlets. So if you need something to do, search these out, you will get a good laugh, but then you will feel awful, not for Joey, but for our country..........
The debt ceiling is Re-electBiden/VoiceforAll/ProjectTruth’s latest outrage.
Makes sense, now that he’s lost his best arguments over his Hunter Biden Crime family accusations after Chairman Comer admitted he ‘can’t track down’ the top informant in the Biden Crime family probe.
And Durham’s investigations of the FBI have been downgraded from the “crime of the century” to a severe tongue lashing.
And after ImMe reminded him how many Christian/Religious leaders victimize children, we haven’t heard much from him on how badly the Democrats are treating children.
What’s a Trumpster to do?
So to keep on the theme of democratic corruption, anyone ever do any research on the damage that the democrats are doing to us to force electric vehicles onto all of us? Guessing not since you are mostly just sheep for the democratic party and do what the tell you to do. Anyways, here's some food for thought, ever wonder who is going to be hurt the most by democrats forcing EV's on all of us? It's the poor and middle class. You see, let's say the cost of a new EV is $50,000, you and your neighbor might be able to afford the $800 a month car payment, but what about the family that is lower income YET THEY NEED A CAR TO GET TO WORK, how are these people going to be able to afford another $800 a month on top of the already inflated prices under the democrats inflation they have put on all of us? How is this lower income person going to keep their job if they have to buy a $50,000 car? Most won't be able to. You say, well they can buy a used one. Really, maybe someday the used car market might get them down to $30,000 or even $20,000, but with a short life span on the batteries, they get to spend another $10,000 on replacing the batteries. Oh, and guess what, the lower income family that somehow has managed to purchase a home in the democrats inflated economy, now they get to pay someone to put a charging station in their home, so they get to spend another $3,000. You see, all of this hurts the lower and middle income people in our country, but as I have been saying for years now DEMOCRATS DON'T CARE WHO THEY HURT. You say, well they can take a bus, that's great, how many busses run from city to city in our state as a daily route, NONE OF THEM. Democrats don't care who they hurt, they don't care how much it costs, they are going to make their buddies and their friends in China richer since China supplies almost all the minerals needed to make these car batteries, you see, the U.S. WILL NOT SUPPLY ANY MINERALS NEEDED FOR THESE CAR BATTERIES, ZERO, NONE, THE DEMOCRATS WILL NOT ALLOW THESE KINDS OF MINES TO OPEN IN THE U.S., so we are 100% dependent on other nations, once again. This is going to hurt the poor and middle class, and democrats don't care.
This isn’t “ DEMOCRATIC CORRUPTION,” Biden/Voice/Project. These are policy differences.
The case for “ DEMOCRATIC CORRUPTION” has gotten a bit more difficult to make with the Hunter/Biden Crime family investigation falling apart and with the Durham FBI investigation collapsing from the “crime of the century” into a “Serious Taking To.”
Hasn’t it, Biden/Voice/Project?
Voice for VoiceforAll gave you something you might consider when he wrote,
“(Incidentally Mr. Comer’s House Oversight Committee phone number is 202-225-5074 in case any of my fellow Republicans has anything else Comer can investigate while he Twitters his thumbs waiting for the informant to get back to him.)”
I checked it out. That’s the real phone number. You folks need some new “allegations.”
Meanwhile the indictments and convictions of various Trumpsters keep on coming.
The democrats attack on our children continues. Isn't it remarkable that in today's democrat run America, we get to read headlines like this - Oregon Child Transgender Clinic Director Took Thousands Of Dollars From Puberty Blocker Developer - CHILD TRANSGENGER CLINIC, repeat, CHILD TRANSGENDER CLINIC. Let that sink in folks, CHILD TRANSGENDER CLINIC, those aren't just words, these clinics aren't just buying clothes for these children and teaching them how to put on make-up, they are chemically castrating children, they are altering a child's body, they are forcing this child's body to reject its body by putting hormone blockers in them. CHILD TRANSGENDER CLINIC. And of course there is corruption in these clinics, it's what democrats do best. The attacks on our children from the democrats continues.
So let's get this straight, no pun intended, you can walk into Target and they have a whole section devoted to transgender, LGBTQ, with shirts, shorts, mugs, pictures, all promoting this cause, and this is ok, because it is for the democrats special interest, teachers can put g*y pride flags up in their classrooms, schools can host drag queen nights at public schools, but a boy where's a shirt that promotes what he believes, and you get this - The family of a 7th grade boy is preparing to sue his Massachusetts middle school for banning him from wearing a shirt that said, “There are only two genders.”
The Morrison family plans to file a lawsuit against Nichols Middle School for allegedly violating their son Liam’s First Amendment rights.
Nichols Middle School is part of the Middleborough Public Schools district about halfway between Boston and Cape Cod.
Liam, 12, said he was told to remove his “two genders” shirt almost immediately when he arrived at school.
In an email, Middleborough Public Schools Superintendent Carolyn Lyons said Liam violated the school dress code because the “content of Liam’s shirt targeted students of a protected class; namely in the area of gender identity.” - You see folks, if you don't fall in line, if you don't bow down, if you don't change your opinion from what you have to what the democrats want you to have, you don't have a voice, you don't have a say, YOU HAVE TO FALL IN LINE. It's just like what they have done to God and those that believe in God, these people have become the enemies of the state, if you have a different opinion than the democrats in this country, you are the enemy of the state and you will be shut down, you will be attacked, you will be zeroed out. Democrats can and will attack you, but you dare not fight back, or you might just end up in jail, ask the parents that have been arrested or threatened to be arrested that stood up at school board meetings, it can happen to you too..................
ImMe is right, Re-electBiden/VoiceforAll/ProjectTruth , there have been so many documented cases of sexual abuse of children by preachers, priests, nuns, and other members of religious life in America’s Christian Churches.
And new reports of these abuses and their coverups appear frequently.
Given your declared Christianity and continued concern about child abuse,
1️⃣WHY and HOW can you ignore this travesty occuring at the hands of those who share your faith?
Instead you focus on accusations of supposed child abuse at the hands of democrats.
2️⃣And even if you choose to contradict the medical community and define “gender affirming medical care” as child abuse, if you were to document the numbers of such cases they would pale in comparison to the numbers of avowed Christians who have and are preying on Americas’ young people.

The Biden Crime Family and the democratic corruption strikes again, daddy has stepped in to stop the investigation on his drug using, prostitute loving, law breaking, gun totting son, and who is surprised by this, at this point in the democrats reign over our country, no one. I suppose at this point this guy and his attorneys can count themselves as lucky that they haven't gone missing, at least not yet anyways - Attorneys for an IRS whistleblower claim the whistleblower's entire team has been removed from the Hunter Biden probe and have accused the government of illegal retaliation, according to a letter sent to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.
The whistleblower’s attorneys told Congress that the removal was on the order of the Department of Justice.
"Today the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Supervisory Special Agent we represent was informed that he and his entire investigative team are being removed from the ongoing and sensitive investigation of the high-profile, controversial subject about which our client sought to make whistleblower disclosures to Congress," the letter states.
"He was informed the change was at the request of the Department of Justice," attorneys Mark Lytle and Tristan Leavitt wrote.
Biden/Voice/Project, there’s no indication the agent in question has lost their job at the IRS. That would indeed violate the law.
He has only been reassigned.
The most amazing thing is he and Comer can’t come up with their “Smoking Gun” informant.
However none of this chestbeating over unproven allegations is surprising to those of us who lived through 1️⃣The Email Scandal. 2️⃣Benghazi. 3️⃣Filegate. 4️⃣Vince Foster. 5️⃣Travelgate. 6️⃣Whitewater.
You came up with nothing, didn’t you?
In the meantime the real indictments and convictions of TrumpWorld keep coming…
ONLY the democratic party would be ok with this, just more evidence that the people in this party are nasty, vile people, that hate America, that hate our police officers, that hate so much about our country, yet democrats keep voting these kind of people back into office, this is the new democratic party in America folks, no wonder democrats all hate MAGA since it stands for MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, it's totally opposite of what they want - Two members of progressive group "the Squad" were the only Democrats to vote against a resolution that memorialized police officers killed in the line of duty and expressed condolences to their loved ones.
During a vote Monday recognizing National Police Week, Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Cori Bush, D-Mo., uttered the only nays heard from the House floor as the chamber voted on the pro-law enforcement resolution.
The resolution, which passed with unanimous support from Republicans and nearly all Democrats, amended H.Res. 363 title to read: "Resolution memorializing law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty."
Its passing honored "the 556 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty, including 224 officers killed in 2022, as well as 332 officers killed in previous years whose stories were recovered during 2022," while also ensuring police are equipped with the resources and training necessary to keeping communities safe.
Biden/Voice/Project, there were 21 (not 2) House Republicans who voted against awarding Congressional Gold Medal to all the police officers who responded on Jan. 6 to thwart the Trumpster’s insurrection plans.
So far from honoring the police, Trumpsters physically attacked the police who protected those 21 who voted against them.
Isn’t this “hating America, and hating our police officers”?
This seem like an appropriate time to recycle on of my favorite pieces of Gimme’s doggerel:

And I’m here to remind him that there’s more bad news coming.
The Trumpsters beloved Russians are getting their a*sses whipped by the Ukrainians.
News is just out that our Patriots anti aircraft systems are downing Russia's most advanced hypersonic missiles.
The Russians can’t stand up to the Ukrainians on the ground, so all they can do is stand back and lob missiles from afar.
Now even that is coming to an end.
Stay tuned, Mr. Project. It's going to get even worse for you Putin lovers.
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 ‼️
Re-electBiden/VoiceforAll/ProjectTruth, it’s interesting to compare the two embarrassing Trumpster investigations which just recently turned up NOTHING illegal with the much maligned Mueller Report.
You Trumpsters alway tell us the Mueller Report turned up nothing.
But it sure did result in a lot more indictments and convictions than these lengthy, expensive and pathetically feeble Trumpster investigations.
Biden/Voice/Project, did you know a total of thirty-four individuals and three companies were indicted by Mueller's investigations?
Eight pleaded guilty or were convicted of felonies, including five Trump associates and campaign officials.
Meanwhile FOX “NEWs” drills down on the ALLEGATIONS. But they’re still trying to beat something with nothing. 🤣
Need more evidence that democrats think they "own" our children? Our children do not belong to "society", our children do not belong to the "government", but democrats want you to think they do. Why is that? Why do democrats want to "own" our children? We know all about their public school indoctrination centers. We all know they are trying to convince us all that pedophilia is ok. But they keep pushing this narrative about "owning" our children, this is one sick, sick party, they are sick people that talk about "owning" our children. Is it no wonder they love the fact that child trafficking is happening all across their open southern border, it's more children for them to "own"............While appearing at the 34th annual GLAAD Media Awards over the weekend, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted that trans kids are "our kids" and "belong to all of us" in response to what she called "anti-LGBTQ+ legislation."
Her comments resembled previous assertions from members of the Biden administration that implied U.S. children belong to the nation rather than their parents. "When you see our kids, and I truly believe that they are our children, they are the children of our country, of our communities, I mean, our future is really bright if we, if we prioritize them, and therefore prioritize the climate crisis and the need to address it. If we think about our children, prioritizing the need to bring our country together," Harris said.
President Biden himself said in April asserting, "There is no such thing as someone else's child. No such thing as someone else's child. Our nation's children are all our children."
NO SUCH THING AS SOMEONE ELSE'S CHILD???????????????????? This is sick, no wonder democrats have attacked our families and family values, no wonder democrats have attacked women, women are the core of the family, democrats won't even define what a women is anymore, democrats they think a man can be a woman now, democrats tell our children they are transgender and need to start their "conversion" when they are as young as 5 years old, and democrats are doing it WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE CHILDS PARENTS. On the U.S. governments website, they tell girls where and how they can get an abortion WITHOUT THEIR PARENTS CONSENT!!! Who thinks this is normal? Who thinks this is right? How can a women even consider being part of the democratic party knowing this is what the democrats are doing to our children, to women, to families????? THIS IS MADNESS................
How many more times do you suppose we will repeat this exchange, old friend?
ImMe is right, Re-electBiden/VoiceforAll/ProjectTruth , there have been so many documented cases of sexual abuse of children by preachers, priests, nuns, and other members of religious life in America’s Christian Churches.
And new reports of these abuses and their coverups appear frequently.
Given your declared Christianity and continued concern about child abuse,
1️⃣WHY and HOW can you ignore this travesty occuring at the hands of those who share your faith?
Instead you focus on accusations of supposed child abuse at the hands of democrats.
2️⃣And even if you choose to contradict the medical community and define “gender affirming medical care” as child abuse, if you were to document the numbers of such cases they would pale in comparison to the numbers of avowed Christians who have and are preying on Americas’ young people.

Re-electBiden/VoiceforAll/ProjectTruth, once again you’re greatly exaggerating a favorite topic of your Trumpster culture wars.
The law requires parental consent before a minor receives ANY medical treatment from a physician.
If there is some jurisdiction that doesn’t apply this common sense recognition of parental rights, or if you know of some pending legislation that would remove these parental rights, then bring it to our attention.
Otherwise, let parents be the judge of what is best for their children instead of passing all these anti-transgender laws telling parents that they can’t follow medically approved treatments for their children when recommended by their doctors.
The Mayo Clinic link below gives the MEDICAL perspective in contrast to your Culture War perspective, and it clearly states that “when a child hasn't reached the age of medical consent, parents or other caretakers or guardians must consent to the treatment and support the adolescent through the treatment process.”

Mr. Biden/Voice/Project, with all the anti-transgender laws that you Republicans are passing telling parents they can’t follow medically approved treatments for their children when recommended by their doctors it’s clearly Trumpsters who “think they "own" our children.”
Re-electBiden/VoiceforAll/ProjectTruth, while you’re screaming “Who thinks this is normal?,” here a few things that SHOULD be normal that you Trumpsters have rejected:
1️⃣Normal means accepting the outcome of a legitimate election your side lost.
2️⃣Normal means not supporting a violent mob attack on the U.S. Capitol to overturn the result. (Some 69 percent of you Republicans don’t believe President Biden is a legitimate president, and 75 percent of you say your belief that Donald Trump won in 2020 is a reason to vote for him.)
3️⃣Normal also means not tanking American and global economies by refusing to pay our bills and using the debt ceiling to extort your UNPOPULAR Trumpster political demands.
4️⃣Normal means that a party does not use its power in the courts and state legislatures to make elections almost meaningless by gerrymandering district lines so their opponents can never win unless with anything short of an unlikely landslide.
5️⃣The fights in our public schools and libraries to remove books and gut curriculums because they teach uncomfortable history aren’t normal, either
Why don’t you work these issues into your next “THIS IS NOT NORMAL” rant?
