Braun of Indiana; Kevin Cramer of North Dakota; Michael Crapo of Idaho; Ted Cruz of Texas; Steven Daines of Montana; and Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley of Iowa.

2. I'll bet none of these hypocritical hacks

uttered a peep over all the money Dumpy wasted on stupid things like his wall and hugely unnecessary things like his tax gift for the wealthy. Didn’t they vote to lift the debt ceiling like three times for their Orange Lord and Master?

4. +100 Absolutely

[gratuitous]

5. But all of them still expect to be paid

And they will continue to draw their pay, even if they vote to default on the bills they've incurred for the country. Remember, this "stopgap funding" is supposed to pay for obligations the nation has already incurred, obligations that pile up under Republican presidents and then have to be dealt with by Democratic presidents.

But that concept is too difficult for our media overlords to explain to the proles, so for all the Republicans' irresponsible behavior, the media hail Republicans as fiscally responsible.

6. No surprise about my 2 from Florida

Worthless. Why do these people want to obstruct?

7. It's so evident who the anti-American faction is in Congress

All 35 are nothing but obstructionists hell bent on doing great damage to the country. They are a do-nothing bunch of political hacks trying to damage Pres. Biden and the Democrats who are attempting to re-build the country. Beyond shameful and the names of some are directly tied to the apron strings of the 1/6 revolt.
