Looks like he backs DeSantis. What will he do if Trump wins the nomination? That’s the story.

Defund Catholic Charities! And let's go after the Jews and Lutherans for good measure. How dare they attempt to help migrants! The nerve! Why are MAGA GOP cultists so full of hate? A few Republican members of Congress are threatening to reduce or eliminate funding for Catholic Charities and other faith-based groups that offer aid to immigrants at the U.S. southern border. The lawmakers, who are echoing the campaigns of conservative Catholic groups that vow to “#defund the bishops,” have already succeeded in inserting their agenda into legislation passed by the House this year. Another attempt to zero-out appropriations for a key Department of Homeland Security program supporting faith-based border efforts is awaiting a vote in Congress. In December, Rep. Lance Gooden of Texas (R), who serves on the House Judiciary Committee, penned a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. In the letter, co-signed by Republican Reps. Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin and Jake Ellzey of Texas, the lawmakers complained that the Biden administration was “allowing non-governmental organizations … the freedom to aid and abet illegal aliens.” In addition, lawmakers sent letters to Catholic Charities, Jewish Family Services and Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service demanding that they preserve documents “related to any expenditures submitted for reimbursement from the federal government related to migrants encountered at the southern border.” The antipathy for Catholic Charities came up again last summer, when Michael Voris, founder of the conservative Catholic website Church Militant, interviewed U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a self-described Christian nationalist and former Catholic who converted to evangelicalism. Voris, whose organization has referred to Catholic Charities as an “enemy of the people,” complained to Greene about the American bishops supporting immigrant aid through religious agencies such as Catholic Relief Services and Catholic Charities. Greene responded by framing the work as “Satan controlling the church.” www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2023/07/28/gop-lawmakers-once-praised-catholic-charities-now-they-want-defund-group/

Moron MAGA GOPers - go ahead and impeach Biden. I guess you have forgotten what happened when you impeached Clinton.
But your grasp on reality is severely compromised at this point.

He gets just as much done though, similarly, they attribute accomplishments to him nonetheless. Stupidity has become exceedingly dangerous to civilization at this point.

An example of how twisted and perverse the self-described party of law and order has become. Disgusting. HoyaTalk "Republicans" all aboard the crazy train! Jeffrey Clark plotted to reverse Trump’s loss. Now he’s a GOP luminary. In a conference room near the Capitol, young conservatives gathered in April to learn how to run for office — how to win and wield government power. Among the keynote speakers at the summit, hosted by a group devoted to “training America’s future statesmen today,” was Jeffrey Clark, the former senior Justice Department official who in 2020 sought to use federal law enforcement power to undo then-President Donald Trump’s defeat. www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/08/03/jeffrey-clark-trump-coconspirator-doj-indictment/

"Republicans" love to display their stupidity and ignorance. See e.g., Gym Jordan, Jim "Goober" Comer, Lauren Boebert, MTG, Paul Gosar, Ron Johnson, et al. "I love the poorly educated!" -- Mango

"I love the poorly educated!" -- Mango Understood. I take issue with the elimination of the choice to take AP classes from kids who aren't even old enough to vote. Not a great road to begin going down.

Understood. I take issue with the elimination of the choice to take AP classes from kids who aren't even old enough to vote. Not a great road to begin going down. They are seeking to replicate their own ignorance in the children educated in Florida's schools in hopes they too become ignorant "Republicans." I can only assume that to be true. It's just such a foreign idea to me that couldn't be more antithetical to my own thoughts with regard to young people that I can't quite swallow that stupidity whole.

What a bunch of effing assclowns. FBI/DOJ "communist organizations"? MTG - what an idiot. The best the MAGA GOP has to offer. Never let them near government ever again. And fake tough guy DeSantis is going to slit throats? Will he be wearing his white go-go boots? "Republicans" are a violent fascist cult/party. But House Republicans are governed by a small band of far-right conservatives who traditionally hate such short-term continuing resolutions, as the measures are known on Capitol Hill. And the most recent charges against former president Donald Trump have angered those lawmakers, some of whom are threatening to block any bill that provides funding to the Justice Department unless they get to chisel away at money that in any way contributes to special counsel Jack Smith’s investigations. “I will not vote to fund a weaponized government while it politically persecutes not only President Trump but all conservative Americans,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a close ally of both the ex-president and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), said in a statement after the announcement Tuesday of charges related to the January 2021 insurrection. Calling FBI officers “henchmen,” she added, “Until we restore the FBI and the Department of Justice to the esteemed institutions they once were, I will not vote to fund these communist organizations.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/08/05/government-spending-bills-stalemate-trump/

Washington CNN — J. Michael Luttig, a conservative retired federal judge and key adviser to former Vice President Mike Pence, declared on Wednesday that “there is no Republican Party” and said former President Donald Trump is even more dangerous than he was in the aftermath of the 2020 election. “American democracy simply cannot function without two equally healthy and equally strong political parties. So today, in my view, there is no Republican Party to counter the Democratic Party in the country,” Luttig, who advised Pence on how to handle the January 6, 2021, election certification vote, told CNN’s Poppy Harlow on “CNN This Morning.” “And for that reason, American democracy is in grave peril.” www.cnn.com/2023/08/09/politics/michael-luttig-conservative-judge-republicans-cnntv/index.html

Despicable radical nihilist "Republicans" who should go crawl back under the rocks from whence they emerged in the era of the Mango Mussolini. It's time for a domestic terrorism law. Michigan state Rep. Matt Maddock (R) warned supporters at a recent fundraiser at his home that a “civil war” would break out or that people would get shot if the government continued to target conservatives, according to audio of the event obtained by the Messenger, which first reported the remarks. Sign up for Fact Checker, our weekly review of what's true, false or in-between in politics. Maddock, whose wife was one of 16 “fake electors” charged with felony crimes in Michigan last month, told the crowd that it had been a “difficult” time for them recently. The event — billed as the “Free The 16 Electors Poolside Party!” — was held at the Maddocks’ home to raise legal defense funds for the fake electors, according to a copy of the invitation. www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/08/11/michigan-civil-war-gop-fundraiser/
