He's too busy UNtruthing in his sycophant filled echo chamber to ever go anywhere else.I sure hope Trump doesn't join RIU...
Kevin's House?
- Thread starter injinji
- Start date
lol.I sure hope Trump doesn't join RIU...
Yup,the fact that he got more than 10% of the vote(You figure that 10% are just FKD in the head haters) is more than shocking, it's FKN disheartening that that many people in my country, after witnessing 4 yrs. of a circus including the staff turnover,all "acting cab. members,former staff members dishing on the fact that they stayed as long as they could to babysit a impetuous juvenile,unhinged Pres.,WERE STILL DOWN FOR MORE.
RONCO in the WHouse,those who gave him votes should have known,as P.T. Barnum said" ", and we spent 4 yrs. w/him within reach of the nuclear football.Brand recognition moved him through and beyond the entire term.
(this is real!)

48,016 views Jan 14, 2023 #msnbc #republicans #debtceiling
House Republicans are planning to breach the debt limit according to The Washington Post and, as MSNBC’s Ali Velshi explains, the real victims of a debt ceiling breach are the American people.

Here is an outside view of what defaulting on US debts or even talk of it will do to America and the globe. It's American business, but we up here are gonna get side swiped with inflation and high interest rates, but it will be nothing compared to what will happen to you!
This will crack Kevin's caucus, they are not gonna let the magats fuck them and it will hurt the rich too! They will join with the democrats or they will end up cutting social security and fucking over the military and government employees while ruining the economy. I doesn't matter to the red state republicans if they do, their voters are not connected to reality and they will just blame the democrats and feed them horseshit. The republicans from swing states and closer districts where it will make a difference might have a different take.

Nope, Joe runs the administration, not the house.

as far as i'm aware, the treasury department is run by the secretary of the treasury, which is a cabinet position.
the house may have to originate all bills about money, but as far as i can see, they have NO direct control of the treasury department, or the secretary of the treasury...
so why should Yellen listen to one fucking word any of them say? why would someone with her vast pool of financial experience listen to one word the fucking morons say? If i was her, i'd tell mccarthy and every single republicunt holding the economy hostage to get fucked, and do exactly what she should be doing, and not what a bunch of fucking domestic terrorists are telling her to do.

Under the separation of powers it is under administrative control with independent authorities like the DOJ, but there is the independent fed too who control interest rates. It is a cabinet position, but with more independence than is sometimes the case. The USPS is run by a board of governors, which is why Dejoy is still there. Back then the USPS was vital for communications, news and elections, so they took appropriate action, the same can be said of social media today.

Velshi: GOP is playing with U.S. prosperity in fight over debt ceiling
13,562 views Jan 14, 2023 #GOP #Debt #McCarthy
The Treasury Department says the U.S. will hit its debt limit next week. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned House Speaker Kevin McCarthy that it is “critical that Congress act in a timely manner to increase or suspend the debt limit.” But McCarthy and the House GOP are threatening to not raise the debt ceiling. That would be a huge mistake. Ali Velshi explains why.

Velshi: George Santos & the death of shame
184 views Jan 15, 2023
The amazing, fantabulous life of George Santos - a congressman, a volleyball champion, a Goldman Sachs alum…allegedly. The freshman Congressman is a serial fabulist who has lied about his religion, his ethnicity, his work history, his education and even his athletic talent. The New York Times obtained a copy of his resume. And it is becoming almost impossible to keep up with the tangled web of lies Mr. Santos has spun.

He had an example to follow...Another serial liar who took a public office he had no fucking business taking.
Here is an image of a serial liar, lying. You can tell he is lying from the still image, because his mouth is open...they only open their mouths to feed on the misery of the poor, or to lie.

Along with shame goes honor, integrity and any value as a human being who deals in information, a business can't trust them and neither can a bank, why should the public? With all the public integrity and other organizations and institutions supporting democracy, you would think some organization would be vetting and issuing pre election reports on all candidates for federal office, a one stop for journalists. How about they fill out an application and resume and then swear to it, then an interview with an FBI agent to go over the details... It is a crime to lie on a sworn statement and another crime to lie to an FBI agent, problem solved.

There are solutions to this problem, but the democrats must win to do it and a law could have all federal candidates fill out an application and resume, they would do this and be interviewed and checked out when they won their primary, candidates who are unlikely to win need not be scrutinized as closely as those from the two major parties. Likewise a third party independent body of journalists and lawyers could be created to vet candidates who end up on the ballot and issue reports based on their resumes and applications which can be required by law. Enforce integrity with accountability and consequences.

GOP debt limit showdown could lead to 'cataclysmic event' for global economy
1,049 views Jan 16, 2023 #msnbc #gop #debtceiling
“It would be unimaginable. A cataclysmic event that would ripple very quickly through the global financial system,” says economist Stephanie Kelton. “If we were to push the limit and threaten default, there’s no saving the structure. It’s really like burning it all down.”
