Why doesn't he just quit if he believes in it?

schotthappens.com•17 days ago

That would require him to leave his job, where he gets paid $186,000 per year by U.S. taxpayers to post on social media.

parisdog.bsky.social•17 days ago

he'd have to come back to utah

It really is hysterical to watch the GOP grasping at every other solution to our nation’s debt when just raising taxes on the top ten percent and corporations would fix almost everything.

jeffertoya.bsky.social•16 days ago

Wait. He wants to “disqualify“ people from being elected if inflation (something that can be affected by other nations or even natural disasters) gets too high?

But when we wanted to dq Trump for insurrection he wasn’t on board.

I’m telling you #MikeLeeHatesAmerica

Also, he’s thick as pig shit.

glen-toogood49.bsky.social•16 days ago

Don't hold your breath, Mike

beachlady1955.bsky.social•16 days ago

I wish him all the luck on the world. But the odds are against him.

rogerwallacetn.bsky.social•15 days ago

Was Lee's post supposed to be a poem? Why did he write it like that?

nervouschimp.bsky.social•16 days ago

So the president levies massive universal tariffs by EO, massively spikes inflation, and boom, no more pesky congress? Instant dictatorship?

Nice try, Mike Lee. Remember, this guy is an anti-democracy fascist creep.

exfeeb.bsky.social•16 days ago

Do it

gray9312.bsky.social•16 days ago

Such bullshit. The Senate is useless as a legislative body. It should be abolished and all government run by a non gerrymandered House.

busybibliophile.bsky.social•16 days ago

Why did he write it like a poem?

nintyfan1991.bsky.social•17 days ago

Mike Lee is such a waste of air.

kendaman.bsky.social•16 days ago

We think you should resign.

tractorhandler.bsky.social•16 days ago

Can we start with him? He's a disaster.

paxchristi1961.bsky.social•16 days ago

Mike MAGA Lee blowing more smoke.

odysseus93.bsky.social•16 days ago

Is Mike pretending to be relevant again? Sad...

fkameridian13.bsky.social•16 days ago

I wish he’d start with himself.

profradii.bsky.social•16 days ago

Maybe he should start w/ himself?

rollawayjim.bsky.social•17 days ago

C’mon, Bryan, he’s only been at it for 15 years. He’s only made about $3m in salary and benefits. It’s not like we are paying him to work hard.

schotthappens.com•17 days ago

Don't you wish you could be a taxpayer-funded troll?

splitthecat.bsky.social•16 days ago

But he's based!

criterdee.bsky.social•16 days ago

Lee would be the first to go. Let’s ratify!

sciencevinman.bsky.social•17 days ago

Even by Lee standards that is an incredibly stupid idea.

joegee65.bsky.social•16 days ago

I assume he voted yes on the Budget Proposal. So why is anyone even paying attention to this phony idiot?

therealcarosyrup.bsky.social•17 days ago

Mike Lee is a joke. There’s a whole FB group devoted to unseating him. Utah needs to put forward an opponent that has a chance of doing it. Candidates, actually. All of Utah’s reps & senators need to be unseated.

dmcal1.bsky.social•17 days ago

What a waste of time. Clearly grandstanding and worthless

blandpotato.bsky.social•17 days ago

I feel like it’s easier to hold the dumbass at the top accountable than whatever the hell this is

escribo490.bsky.social•16 days ago

Perfomative

wakandangriot.bsky.social•16 days ago

It’s not meant to go anywhere. It’s performative grandstanding bullshyte.

clairemoosepat.bsky.social•16 days ago

And i believe this idea was initially in a statement from Warren Buffet? Of course Lee doesn’t credit the author; I don’t think he has ever had an original idea.

themeanstroke.bsky.social•16 days ago

He’s an idiot.

seattleblue.bsky.social•16 days ago

performative, just like his high priest djt.

raj-virginia.bsky.social•16 days ago

Mike Lee is a dumbass

taco8647.bsky.social•16 days ago

He's such a dumbass. His boss will be the driver of it going over his 3% threshold. I can't believe people elect people like him, MTG, and Boebert. Truly, anyone can run an win an election if these three numbnuts can.

banisterkevin.bsky.social•16 days ago

Not only would it never pass just because, it also has the benefit of being a really stupid idea. Go Mike!

milligannoah.bsky.social•16 days ago

It is also dumb

bryanth2o.bsky.social•17 days ago

When you remove bills that name buildings, what does that leave his total at?

schotthappens.com•17 days ago

Nine.

desertwolf.bsky.social•17 days ago

💯😂

louisnielsen18.bsky.social•16 days ago

Lee I'm betting was caught in a honey pot scheme a decade ago. Since then he's been nuts!

sauvez-nos-ames.bsky.social•16 days ago

He is trying to make it appear like he is doing something. Everything is performative with politicians. We should draft a constitutional amendment that says that politicians will get hanged if they only put on performances and never get anything accomplished.

sandraeb.bsky.social•16 days ago

He belongs to the flat earth cult

oblyn.bsky.social•16 days ago

I'm starting to think we need to require congress to do an econ crash course, a civics crash course, and a history crash course for a day on each before every session or they won't be sworn in for the year & won't get paid.

aa-ron.bsky.social•17 days ago

Nice to see we have one of the biggest quacks in the Senate representing us.

furylisbon.bsky.social•17 days ago

I think our Ron Johnson has you guys beat...911 conspiracy theorists and also The Great Depression was a inside job...believe me there's much more..

schotthappens.com•17 days ago

Sen. Johnson has brain worms, for sure.

aa-ron.bsky.social•17 days ago

He's definitely a quack that's for sure.

collectivenothing.bsky.social•16 days ago

They’d all claim they’re gonna vote for it and do the opposite.

capncook.nl•16 days ago

Does Congress have direct control over inflation?

chainedvictory.bsky.social•16 days ago

Even better. What counts as 'inflation'? As soon as you tie rewards/punishments to metrics, folk start to game the metric

commiegir.bsky.social•16 days ago

It also makes zero sense because it ousts the people who likely also opposed such.

Its a dumb idea.

azdoug.bsky.social•16 days ago

I once considered Mike Lee an informed but misguided Constitutionalist. I was in error. He’s simply a puffed up vessel of hot air of his own making. His usefulness is not questioned, as it is absent. Much like his integrity, honor and honesty. Such men should be made pariahs.

stephenbelcourt.bsky.social•16 days ago

Plus: yikes inflation is too high because of some geopolitical event…quick, fire everybody who could do something about it.

pinkynperky.bsky.social•16 days ago

Maybe he’s Shy.

breadmanbrian.bsky.social•16 days ago

Falls under the heading of gums flapping...

robotblue.bsky.social•16 days ago

wtf is wrong

With his

Posting

Does he think

This is a better way

To post to his

Shitheads

johnaragosta.bsky.social•16 days ago

This is what you do when you don't care about governing, don't care about the people, and only want to make a vacuous grandstanding appeal to an ignorant and uninformed base. Utah, you can do better.

stanwiz.bsky.social•17 days ago

He could just resign.

alholiday.bsky.social•16 days ago

Good, because it’s a terrible idea. We were spoiled for a long time, but 3% is below the historic average.

dallinturner.bsky.social•17 days ago

Reminds me of when he called for term limits — only to run for reelection in violation of his own proposal.

schotthappens.com•17 days ago

He gets around that by saying he supported a constitutional amendment for term limits.

Since that never happened, *technically* he never violated that pledge.
