The Way the Game is Played

Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst is introducing a bill on Tuesday that would prohibit the Internal Revenue Service from arming its agents with taxpayer money. [More]

She’s pandering to rah-rah Republican gun owners over something she knows damn well doesn’t have a chance in hell of passing and counting on them being oblivious to her screwing them in Biden’s ‘Bipartisan’ Betrayal.

With Republicans Like These

Two Republicans — Reps. Thomas Kean Jr. (N.J.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.) — broke from the party and voted against the legislation… [More]

I knew about this Fitzpatrick piece of crap— and his strange hold over Kevin McCarthy. Kean hasn’t been on my radar yet to know what a phony he is:

The National Rifle Association (NRA) Victory Fund gave Tom Kean, Jr. these ratings for the following election cycles: an A+ rating (100 percent) for 2017 and a B rating (67 percent) for 2020.

And speaking of phonies, since when is 67% not a “D” and a 1.0 GPA?

Messin’ with Texas

Following the “pledge card” practice means that a relatively small number of often nominal Republicans can elect a speaker by allying with the Democrat minority, which understandably would prefer to have a Speaker who is not a GOP stalwart . . . especially if that Speaker also gives Democrat members control of certain committees as a sweetener. [More]

So basically, between the speaker and the lieutenant governor, we’re talking a drunk and a poltroon

Texas-Related UPDATE

Governor Abbott Signs Key Pro-Second Amendment Bills into Law… House Bill 2837 … prohibits financial institutions and credit card companies from requiring licensed dealers to use a firearms-specific merchant category code (MCC) to categorize retail gun purchases [and] House Bill 3137 … expands the state firearms preemption law… [More]

Doing What Republicans Do Best

Well the bad news is we were right. Tim Knopp is making deals to throw gun owners under the bus. The “deal” will be to let the Democrats ban personally made firearms, a scheme courts have already determined to be unconstitutional. [More]

What? They won’t stop with that?

Leave it to gutless idiot f*****g Republicans. Fold on anything and that’s one less obstacle they need to overcome on their way to everything.

Anyone who doesn’t realize we’re dealing with lying devils who want it all is willfully deluded. Anyone who does realize it and “compromises” anyway is ultimately on their side.

All You Need to Know About Christie

“Eight years ago, you were entertained,” he said. “I forgive you.” [More]

28 years ago you said this. And you lied about saying this two years earlier:

“‘The issue which has energized me to get into this race is the recent attempt by certain Republican legislators to repeal New Jersey’s ban on
assault weapons,’ Christie said in a statement released (on April 14, 1993). ”In today’s society, no one needs a semi-automatic assault weapon.'”

I won’t forgive you.

The MAGA Menace!

A former GOP candidate in New Mexico has been indicted on federal charges in connection to a spate of shootings at Democratic officials’ homes after he lost his 2022 midterm election bid, court documents show. [More]

CNN is groping itself in ecstasy now that it’s finally got a Republican involved in “gun violence.”

With the guy’s prior record, you’d think Democrats who are all about felons voting wouldn’t have sued to keep him off the ballot. And the Stupid Party “leadership” failed, too: Instead of disavowing the creep, they played the “young Hispanic man, who turned his life around” card, as if Democrats still won’t paint them as a bunch of white supremacists.

Even When He Loses He Wins

Columbus Files Yet Another Lawsuit Seeking to Infringe Gun Rights [More]

It’s not Zach Klein’s money being squandered and it gets his name in the papers. When you think about it, that’s a special kind of contemptible. And anyone stupid or biased enough to vote for him in the first place won’t let a little thing like repeated losses keep them from pushing a proven apparatchik for higher office.

Even if he is that most loathsome of creatures along the lines of Bill Kristol, Joe Scarborough, and Joe Walsh:

A Viahycon turned Democrat.

Secure in Her Betrayals

While most Senate Republicans have made enormous sacrifices to defend your rights the House Republicans seem determined to move the Democrat agenda forward as quickly as possible. [More]

That’s what happens when glad-handing, rope-selling “capitalist” Vichycons like Kim Wallen can run without Republican primary opposition. It’s a Republican district: Are there no Republicans in it to fix that?

Wolf in the Fold

Scott argued he can unify the GOP with a positive, forward-looking message built around a compelling personal story and upbeat demeanor… [More]

I dunno… we’ve already seen some of the Swamp-protecting results of that “Wall Street backing”…

Never forget he picked Lisa Murkowski over Kelly Tshibaka. That and he’s a lying prior restraint/no real due process gun-grabber.

The fat cats want him because they think he’ll be able to diffuse accusations that they’re racists. If they think that’ll faze the Democrats one bit, they’re delusional.

Biden’s New Gun Actions Could Not Have Happened Without Republican Help

And helping them do that this time out were the usual suspects from the Vichycon wing of the GOP, the useful idiot/self-serving swamp creatures who continually prove themselves adept at turning coats and stabbing backs. [More]

Nothing like seeing a “staunch supporter of the Second Amendment” carry the Democrats’ water for them…

Attack of the Vichycons

On the House side, “Republicans” Charlie Conrad and Kevin Mannix joined the Democrats to pass HB 2572. [More]

Just an observation: I don’t see Oregon gun owners tearing into these traitors on their respective Facebook pages.

I wonder how many think OFF volunteers are supposed to do all the work and how many just don’t care.
