What's this?

Agreed - time to put their money where their mouth is -

Red states whose populations actively hate government intervention and are now also willing to throw democracy away in their sore loser fake election fraud tantrums should get no more federal money.

These taker states have long since hypocritically sucked at the federal teat, so the bill for their ideological choices should now become due.

Don’t want to get with the program? You don’t get the benefits of being in the program.

Democrats should squeeze the best deal out of McCarthy then -- hooshouse 10/03/2023 11:36AM

McCarthy is a coward who can't be trusted. A deal with him would be -- VAGentleman05 10/03/2023 1:54PM

What’s next though? A completely paralyzed House unable to pass -- hoolstoptheheels 10/03/2023 2:09PM

Unless there is another consensus speaker candidate waiting in the wings -- RML Hoos 10/03/2023 2:11PM

If for no other reason than to end the outsized influence the Gaetz wing -- hoolstoptheheels 10/03/2023 2:19PM

That's a great reason why Kev should've done some bipartisan outreach. -- VAGentleman05 10/03/2023 2:21PM

The deal reached over the weekend was bipartisan outreach. ** -- hoolstoptheheels 10/03/2023 2:27PM

Yes, and then he went straight to Fox to complain that Dems wanted to shut -- VAGentleman05 10/03/2023 2:29PM

But they won’t. Imo not tactically smart to hold out for perfection -- hoolstoptheheels 10/03/2023 2:41PM

I think we just disagree. It's not at all clear to me that McCarthy is the -- VAGentleman05 10/03/2023 2:58PM

Congress needs to function better, which will require reasonable people -- RML Hoos 10/03/2023 12:26PM

Right, and thwarting the rw extreme on McCarthy could be the lowest hanging -- hoolstoptheheels 10/03/2023 2:10PM

That sounds great in theory -- WahooMatt05 10/03/2023 1:00PM

You know, just a tiny modicum of optimism here. -- hoolstoptheheels 10/03/2023 2:17PM

Agree, no one seems to care - way too much short term gain / power thinking -- RML Hoos 10/03/2023 2:04PM

I'd do a deal also. The House needs to govern and the US needs a budget. -- Seattle .Hoo 10/03/2023 12:16PM

CNN Chyron: Dems signal readiness to sink McCarthy -- SixerHoo 10/03/2023 12:05PM

He did a lot of wrong things before he did the right thing once. ** -- VAGentleman05 10/03/2023 1:55PM

Sounds like he already burned the bridge with Dem, which seems silly given -- JohnHoo2 10/03/2023 12:57PM

Don't launch a bogus impeachment inquiry if you can't deal w/consequences ** -- VAGentleman05 10/03/2023 1:56PM

Doesn't sound like impeacment inquiry is the big issue. Seems like walking -- JohnHoo2 10/03/2023 2:40PM

I actually think there should be more regular impeachment inquiries - but -- RML Hoos 10/03/2023 2:09PM

Why? ** -- Seattle .Hoo 10/03/2023 2:14PM

We should have more light on the actions of our public officials while -- RML Hoos 10/03/2023 2:45PM

Regular impeachment inquiries would be a terrible way to achieve that. ** -- VAGentleman05 10/03/2023 4:19PM

You know that generally speaking, impeachment is not the answer for that? ** -- Seattle .Hoo 10/03/2023 2:54PM

No a cr is bogus. Pass your budget on time if democrats don’t like it -- TomKazanski 10/03/2023 12:33PM

Good starting places are farm subsidies, gas and oil subsidies,… -- Hoodeac 10/03/2023 1:24PM

Agree. Pass a budget - that it reasonably negotiated between -- RML Hoos 10/03/2023 12:37PM

There are no moderate democrats left -- TomKazanski 10/03/2023 1:06PM

There are no moderate Republicans left -- Hoodeac 10/03/2023 1:17PM

People who willingly support wannabee dictators have no idea what moderate -- Hooooooooooooooo 10/03/2023 1:11PM

This fails.Democrat party is not moderate.And they do nothing in good faith ** -- ryno hoo 10/03/2023 12:47PM

Perfect example of what is wrong - you are right, that sentiment is the -- RML Hoos 10/03/2023 2:07PM

That wasn't what TK was suggesting. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 10/03/2023 12:38PM

As if you know what the American people want. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 10/03/2023 12:36PM

Problem is, he doesn't honor his deals. -- southdenverhoo 10/03/2023 11:49AM

If the Democrats can get a deal, I think it’s worth the risk. If he reneges -- 111Balz 10/03/2023 12:19PM

They've had deals, he'd reneged; Dems would rather deal with McConnel type -- Quaker 10/03/2023 2:21PM

100%. McCarthy is a disgrace. Repubs need to nominate someone who can be -- VAGentleman05 10/03/2023 2:30PM

Gaetz would challenge him again? Then you sink him ** -- hooshouse 10/03/2023 11:52AM

Or as Swalwell said, "Not my monkey, not my circus. I'm a hard no." ** -- Hoo TV 10/03/2023 11:43AM

That’s fine. I think there’s ground to be made with the electorate -- hooshouse 10/03/2023 11:44AM

Actually, I agree. I just liked the line. :) -- Hoo TV 10/03/2023 11:52AM
