Why Republicans lost, and will continue to lose elections. They spend like Democrats

military, domestic programs and natural disaster aid

Don't forget foreign aid/kickback money.

They don't want to do the heavy lifting of communicating honestly with the voters. They know that the more flashy stuff is more effective. Mud-slinging, talking points, platitudes. We love our shiny objects.

That's what this "system" (ha) of ours incentivizes and rewards.

Politicians tell the voters what they want to hear. Not only are voters lazy, they also want a free luck. That goes for the GOP as much as the Dems. When Trump promised we'd build a wall and Mexico would pay for it, did we really care if it was true or not? Dems and reparations is another good example.

What's a free luck?

What's a free luck?

'Lunch'. The brain is fast the fingers are way behind.

Been this way since GWB and Republicans held all of DC from 2001-2007. DemocRATs made the spending much worse and President Bush refused to put a stop to it. We've been screaming holy hell over this ever since.

Congress released a new bipartisan spending bill early Tuesday morning that would send additional funding to Ukraine and clarify the Electoral Count Act.

MAJOR MONEY:Congress announces gigantic $1.7 trillion spending bill to avoid government shutdown

And it looks as if it will pass with plenty of republican votes.

Then these pretenders will hold news conferences and congratulate themselves.

This type of behavior from our elected officials raises several questions;
1) why do fools choose sides ('r' or 'd') when there is no real discernable difference between the parties?
2) is trillion the new million? How long before trillion is the new thousand?
3) why is political assassination so rare in the USA?

Has nothing to do with issues. Repubs lose because they don't "Play the Game". Repubs get the Voters. Dems get the BALLOTS. Big difference.

I remember when Congress had integrity and they told savannah georgia to fuck off after that great big fire in the 1800s.
"we dont have the authority to help localities" or something to that effect.

This is what the farmer told Davy Crocket, basically the exact same thing you're saying.

 

[Whodatsaywhodat.]

Our founding fathers would draw and quarter these corrupt mother fuckers.

Every bill, every vote is related to turning a $150K no-show job into $2M/year. They pretend to dislike each other, like pro wrestling, but stand united within the crime family and continue the legacy of money laundering and racketeering. The entire shit show is corrupt. They say AOC, with a credit score of 430 and multiple sheriff evictions, is worth $29M now. A fucking bartender who was fired for stealing her coworkers' tips.

We're broken. We need a divorce.

Is that true ? AOC worth 29 million?

Its not just that. Its the GOPs abandonment of pretty much all of their principles, including fiscal responsibility. They grabbed family values by the pussy. They took the 5th on their calls for government transparency. Their veneration of cops, law and order got the shit kicked out of it on January 6th.

As a brand, the GOP doesn't really represent anything anymore. Nor does it inspire. It used to be 'morning in America'. And now its resentment, grievance and conspiracy.
