That was epic.

I hear Hakeem put the debt in perspective for the GOP today. 25% of the existing deficit is due to their dear leader.

Roy hates to look stupid inept. And that what every GOP member looked like today. Jump - they jumped- the. Don’t jump- everyone of them stopped jumping then they realized they were taking orders from 2 imbeciles. Roy knew they all looked incompetent. That’s why he is so mad.

President Musk is gonna be pissed.

cmineredits.bsky.social•193 days ago

Yeah, but will he raise revenue by taxing wealth?

And then Trump went on Truth Social and threatened to primary Chip because that’s what mafia bosses do when someone crosses them.

Good for him. If only other Republicans had spines and souls.

Matching the previous Trump record of adding over $8T to the debt is going to take some work.

Not w/muskrat involved. $8T? Hold my beer.

Love it. And a special ShoutOut to hypocrite Greg Abbott and Houston's own billionaire Tillman Fertitta, both of whom love to kiss Musk’s slimy ass.
Texas stupid.

Please shoot me, for I have agreed with Chip Roy.

Right?
Chip Roy is basically the definition of bipolar personality disorder.

simonluger.bsky.social•193 days ago

To be fair, Trump and the GOP added $8 trillion to the debt last time, so he's being modest.

loromimi.bsky.social•193 days ago

Who accused the Republicans of having self respect??

walteriv.bsky.social•193 days ago

Kinda wish the Dems had this type of fire but alas

marine1950.bsky.social•193 days ago

Chip Roy is about top get shit upon by his own party.

Members of the House should not be paid if there is a shut down.

Almost $2 trillion thanks to 2017 tax cuts by Trump….wuh wuh. If anyone take a close look at our debt, the bigger chunk is not social programs but primarily GOP actions: tax cuts, Iraq war, recessions. Anyone know not a GOP policy in 50 years that has actually helped Americans (sans the wealthy)?
