Several House Committees are marking up the GOP's tax cuts for the rich reconciliation bill when Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) bluntly spoke about where we are right now.
And by forcing the need to vote on this, the republicans are creating a situation where it will fail, and further entitle them to continue doing what they are doing, which indeed violates the constitution and settled law.
After that, House Republicans will no doubt start going after American citizens who object to Republicans veering into fascism, racism, and all the other reprehensible -isms that Trump’s Republican Party has cheerfully embraced. The ghost of Richard Nixon now wanders the land, loudly lamenting how low the Republican Party has sunk under its current Master.
make the Judicial Branch, Including SCOTUS obsolete. That’s all part of the Heritage Foundations plan for 2025. And, then comes in Peter Theil to rule as CEO of the U.S….no more presidency. Keep fighting, we’re making progress!!
Actually Congress has largely seen it's job as limited to fundraising for a couple of decades now especially since money became free speech. They are very into free speech and are more and more irrelevant.
No doubt!!! Because they are allowing it!!! We need to fire the GOP!; How do we sue them for their deliberate violations against their oath to protect the Constitution and the American people!;;
Thank you, Rep. Lieu! That is batshit crazy! Congress cannot simply vote yay or nay to change the Constitution. The US Constitution can be amended through two methods: a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate to propose an amendment, or a constitutional convention called by two-thirds of the state legislatures. A proposed amendment becomes part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by three-fourths of the States (38 of 50 States). When the OFR verifies that it has received the required number of authenticated ratification documents, it drafts a formal proclamation for the Archivist to certify that the amendment is valid and has become part of the Constitution.
there will be no gd midterms if people don’t engage in a general strike. the denial here would be astounding if it weren’t so terrifying. what do we have to do to get bloggers to acknowledge all of the voices, including politicians on both sides of the isle, who say that we need a massive unending protest to end this? what do they have to say to get it through to y’all that we cannot fucking wait another year and a half. nine of your voting eligible neighbors will be here— they’ll be in concentration camps.
I 100% agree. We need to get clear what are demands are, but yes, GENERAL STRIKE by July 1stif these demands are not met by June 30th. It's the only way to show them who is REALLY in power. When labor stops, the whole country stops. It's worked in other countries for years! think about Chile, Poland, Apartheid, even S. Korea!
Agreed. Just power, money gormandizing sots, sops AND FOPS! I’m talking specifically to “President Orange FELON.” You will fall donny, you as have the rest of your lot…
Yes, it’s Crazy. Still I think, Democrats are making GOP, go on record— voting in favor of all the illegal, inhumane ideas 47 is putting forward. To use against them, IF there are elections ever again. It’s always good to plan forward— but I’m worried about Right Now! Stop these corrupt fools, please.
Thank you billionaire newspapers and social media for creating this agent orange maga in the first place. Since everyone is asking, YES Democrats will have to clean up this sh!t show of a mess too; 85 years and counting.
Well said Rep Lieu! This is CRAZY!!! We need some Republicans to stand up and do their job and protect our Constitution! Like the ones that are leaving office anyway and have nothing to loose. Think about the country you want your grandkids to live in for Pete's-sake!!
Quick history check. Mussolini was first fascist to gain power in Italy and it took him 4 years to become chancellor. It took Hitler 13 years to become chancellor along with the help of Papen and Hindenberg in 1931.

If congress doesn't do their job, this administration will make congress irrelevant.
After that, House Republicans will no doubt start going after American citizens who object to Republicans veering into fascism, racism, and all the other reprehensible -isms that Trump’s Republican Party has cheerfully embraced.

Pam, you are right. They will also

I’m guessing that’s the plan.

We fight. It is time for the 2nd American Revolution!

Not to mention the fascist AG is not standing up for American rights.

I hate to say that I agree with you but I do… it’s all happening in plain sight.
Let's do it; next stop is El Salvador for 80 million Americans.
And that's how fast banana republic hits you in the face.
FAFO wishy washy maga voters and the 90 million that didn't vote in 2024.
Ted Lieu is a great truth teller! Batshit crazy describes this whole Administration and everyone involved in it. Well done, Ted!
Agreed. Just power, money gormandizing sots, sops AND FOPS! I’m talking specifically to “President Orange FELON.” You will fall donny, you as have the rest of your lot…

Ain't happening.
All Republicans must be voted out of office! They are all spineless traitors!
Wow! We really need to fix the constitution when all this shit is said and done!! Can’t wait to see all the republicans prosecuted for their crimes!!!
First thing to fix is to get rid of the Electoral College. It has screwed Democrats numerous times.
In 100 days we are already here??? It took Hitler a few years to get to this point.
No, it took Hitler 57 days!
Quick history check. Mussolini was first fascist to gain power in Italy and it took him 4 years to become chancellor. It took Hitler 13 years to become chancellor along with the help of Papen and Hindenberg in 1931.
Deportation of dangerous people should be considered. Let's start with d t, e m, and the cabinet.
Maybe a few of more of that ilk. Sorry, I feel very strongly about this.
Well our so called leader is a convicted felon. Why can't he be deported?
Good thought. El Salvador calls for him!! And somehow so many of his wives were/are immigrants. . .
I agree!
Me, too!
Ted Lieu is completely right! Someone please - make it STOP!
