1. When pond scum wants attention

The "no" votes were cast by GOP Reps. Andy Biggs, Lauren Boebert, Thomas Massie, Clay Higgins, Matt Gaetz, Chip Roy, Paul Gosar, Louie Gohmert, and Marjorie Taylor Greene. The bill now goes to a vote in the Senate.

7. Hilarious.

19. Thank you. Colorado has two other Repubicam reps,

neither of whom is in that list. Surprising,..

[Midnight Writer]

2. The same kind that rails against masks and vaccines during a pandemic that has killed millions

I believe the Republicans would love to see a major comeback of Covid in the months before the election, even if it mean many more die.

12. The same kind that wants to end abortion

for their concern about "the babies."

[867-5309.]

3. Just 9?

They're slipping.

4. Tiedrich probably uses this as a template:

26. Guy in the middle looks like Gov. Kevin Stitt. Coincidence?

[lame54]

8. That's not the question...

Why on earth is this strategy so effective?

9. Douchebags on social media claimed Biden sent formula to Ukraine

I'm convinced that hate kills brain cells

Baby formula donations to Ukraine not linked to U.S. shortage

14. And this issue is the one they've focused on all week, even more than the primaries

I checked out (my Rep ) Stefanik's Twitter account after reading a newspaper article in which she blamed the president - and this issue was the only one she focused on, to the exclusion of everything else - her excuse to blame Biden. And she even got a reply of praise from none other than Stephen Miller! Biden's quick actions will take all the thunder out of their Biden-bashing so they'll have to come up with something - anything - else.

20. I feel for you guys. It's hard to have a rep so breathtakingly stupid, they're on the news

Embarrassing the state over and over. They do NOTHING to solve real life problems of their constituents. We’ve had Devin Nunes for years, but the district was redrawn so not sure who the pukes will elect.

21. Her "claim to fame" seems to be when she appeared alongside Gym Jordan on national TV

During the impeachment hearings. She was a problem before, there have been protests since her first day in office (she replaced a retiring Democrat), but that national appearance seems to have set her off and she's been an increasing national embarrassment ever since. There were even a series of billboards throughout the district after that, calling for her resignation, but instead of a wake up call, she's just doubled down.

This was the billboard that I passed on my my way home:

22. I don't understand the blood lust and venom coming from these people.

I honestly wonder how they remember to breathe.
On edit: I love the billboard!

[Rhiannon12866]

23. I don't get it, either. Nor do I get how she keeps managing to get votes

I took my dog for an appointment today and we passed a very elderly woman in the parking lot getting into her car - which had bumper stickers for both TFG and Stefanik on the back bumper! Of course I didn't say anything to the woman, but I cannot imagine why she would vote for the likes of them!

And I wish that they'd kept the billboard, I know that there were others throughout the district - not that they appear to have made a difference to Stefanik, but more people need to see them as a reminder.

[onecaliberal]

24. Absolutely. Someone in the local press needs to ask her why she voted AGAINST baby formula.

[BlueJac]

15. What about the babies!

16. Anyone Voting For The GOPQ:

17. I love it when people answer their own questions.

[Beartracks]

18. Remember when Republicans said the only reason Democrats started wearing masks...

... was to make Trump look bad? I could tell even then that what Republicans meant was that such an action was something they themselves would do, namely: purposely do the wrong thing in order to make a Democrat look bad. With Republicans, it's always projection: the accusation is the admission.

25. They hate us.

27. The tactic to blame Biden for everything

is working. I see comments pop up on Facebook from people I know (who usually are kind, compassionate people) blaming Biden for the baby formula crisis. I don’t know what they expect him to do that he has not already done. Maybe instantly find a plant and start churning out formula? Screw the health and safety requirements. Get that formula made and handed out.

I just wonder what part of manufacturers having to shut down — stop production — until they find the source of bacteria that could potentially kill some babies — did they NOT understand? These are not dumb people. But they can be gullible and easily manipulated to believe that somehow Biden dropped the ball on this issue. They will not use whatever they have left of their brains to comprehend this is not a missed opportunity by Biden. It really upsets me because these are people I thought had more capacity to THINK. Geeze…….I am distressed at the power behind brainwashing the people. 😩
