And none of that is hyperbole because this stupid, piss-addled nation of ours will believe it.

And, to all appearances, his zeal has very little to do with the New Testament.
Well, maybe with keeping it out of his congregation.

Hawley added he won’t support the House budget resolution that directs the House Energy & Commerce Committee to find $880 billion in cuts “unless there’s some guarantee that we’re not going to cut anything.”

Hmm, you can advertise the number all you want, just don’t cut anything…when nothing is real anymore you get guys like this.

This.

Hawley gives away the game:

“I am not going to vote for Medicaid benefit cuts,” Hawley told reporters in the Senate basement earlier this week. “Work requirements, I’m totally fine with. But 21% of Missourians either get Medicaid or CHIP so I am not going to vote for benefit cuts for people who I think are qualified.”

Work requirements are de-facto Medicaid/CHIP cuts. CHIP in particular is a health insurance program which is only open for kids, so apparently if children don’t work, they don’t get health insurance.

DC representative Eleanor Holmes Norton can’t even vote. So maybe we throw in West Virginia - you know for fairness.

Until Republican voters get the notification that they’ve been kicked out of Medicaid. Leopard chow.

Child labor is back again. It’s the new workforce! Gotta replace the cheap labor somehow. /s (for the sarcasm impaired.)

I know that Texas opted out of Medicaid expansion (under ACA), so its lower percentage of residents on Medicaid doesn’t mean much.

“Making the tax cuts permanent is “a hill that I’m willing to die on,” Sen. Steve Daines (R-MO) recently said.”

But he is OK allowing our enemies to read classified information.

Sloppy. Steve Daines is a senator from Montana, not Missouri. Ron Johnson is from Wisconsin, not Ohio.

Aren’t these two notions the primary hallmarks of a real American patriot? That’s what I’ve been told.

No sarcasm necessary. DeSantis is already trying this in Florida by loosening child labor bans.
