I know some folks who are really not “tuned in” to politics, but even they have commented about how the republicans say NO to everything and BLAME OBAMA for everything every day. There is hope that we might be able to get rid of this vermin if not in 2014 I am almost certain in 2016.

“There are numerous steps the president can and should be taking right now, without the need for congressional action,” said the GOP leaders.
Wasn’t it the same people who, oh, 24 hours ago, voted to sue the President for taking steps without congressional action?
Proud of your House leaders, GOP?

So, lemme get this straight. House Repubes demanded action to deal with the so-called border crisis. The Pres and the Senate acted and now Repubes in the House refuse to take up the issue. Seems like a clear case of misfeasance. Am I missing something here?
On another note, I note that that the Repubes in the House can unite to vote to sue the President because the President acted when the Repubes refused to do the job that they were elected to do, but they refuse to act on an issue when they have demanded actio on that issue. Classic.

Huh. I saw that the economy grew at 4% last quarter.
I suppose they’ll blame Obama for that as well!

Message being sent to the American people from Congressional Republicans:
“The House Republican caucus is not going to work toward solving any of the nation’s problems, and we’re going to make damned sure that the POTUS can’t either.”

Yes the Republicans admit that their lawsuit is frivolous. That’s why they need to impeach the President.

Those rogues gallery portraits Taibbi did of Boehner, Newt, and Romney, circa 2010 - 2012, were some of the best, funniest, and saddest hit pieces I’ve ever read. Taibbi could probably write another one on the orange man, twice the length, given all the political plate-glass windows he’s stepped through even since the RS piece.

Pathetic. It’d be funny if it weren’t so consequential.

I don’t know how the MSM can report this republican fiasco as a “both sides do it” kind of story, but I’m sure they’ll find a way.

The MSM is in such a state of decay, there is no limit to how low the republican party will go. Republicans are the lawless cowboys in Dodge, and there’s no sheriff in town.

[quote] IF the GOP keeps this up that might actually anger the Latino community so much they might turn out to vote in November and God help the GOP IF that happens.They won’t win another Elections for years to come [/quote] Excuse me - generations, not years. Centuries, hopefully.
[quote]No third party has ever won the White House or more than a token seat in Congress.
For our purposes, any third party vote can be considered a Republican vote.
[/quote] We already have at least three parties: Republicants, Democrats, and the Tea Potty. And the insignificant Independent/Libertarian group (most of which also run as Republicants).
We need a law that says that T-Potty “members” CANNOT run as Republicans. Problem solved.
[quote] And, the GOP shows again why they are unfit to lead. [/quote] Their stated goal hasn’t been “To Lead” since before the Reagan Era. Their stated goal is to reduce government to the size needed to store all of it inside a woman’s vagina, in other words VERY small compared to what it is now.
[quote] Worst do-nothing Congress, EVER. Where the hell is the leadership??? [/quote] You mean the Democrats??
The way Boehner runs Congress it is pretty clear that House of Cards it ain’t.

On the same day they vote to sue the President for doing his job, they fail to do theirs and ask him to bail them out? OYE.

The Repub base just wants a bill to force the President to do things that will end the Democratic Party support by the Latino voters. They have never done anything for any reason other than politics or paying back their wealthy donors. This is an inevitable result of a minority party finding no possible way to regain majority status without acting this way.
That about covers it.
At this time the Repubs have absolutely no grounds for impeachment. The lawsuit is intended to both arouse their mouth breathing base, and to force the Supreme Court to declare Obama to be a law breaker, giving them the grounds they need.
Meet the New Whip.
Same as the Old Whip.
Inept.
Lois Lerner tells it like it is with pinpoint accuracy.
