Gee... you need a license and PROVE you know how to safely drive to drive a car, but any moron with no training can buy a gun. Go Republicans.

Talking of incongruent standards, you need to ID and have evidence of where you live to get a library card

Tennessee will arm teachers with sufficient training

the new law wont require training all gun owners

Yawn... more BS from Berz... he must have seen it in an internet video. He supports the Repubs, and blames the world problems on the dems...
Yet he denies he supports Trump.
And no, we don't believe YOUR propaganda

[Berzerker]

Democrats were blaming Republicans for losing their war so they caved, propaganda is a powerful weapon

[Berzerker]

Fox News says so? I saw the video and heard the slogan, Aaron Mate pointed out they were effectively chanting sieg heil

[Berzerker]

The congresswoman told them to put the flags away

[BeBMan]

Berz demonstrating his commitment to free speech.

[Uncle Sparky]

Hate to be pedantic but... Trump did a 180...

[Ming]

And through all of it... Typical Trump.
He was totally opposed to the bills. But when it looked like they were going to pass over his objections, He does a 360 and praises Johnson and tries to take credit for it passing...

Apparently Majorie & Company aren't forcing Johnson to vacate because of a rumor that enough Republicans have threatened to resign if it happens, to throw the House to the Democrats; this is only a rumor, and Marge may only be stalling until she can ascertain the truth of the matter.

What's really interesting in all this is that if the House is thrown to the Democrats, it would be possible to pass a bill that would declare Trump an insurrectionist, which (according to the SCOTUS decision disallowing certain states from barring Trump from the ballot) would make it possible to bar Trump from the ballot in every state.

Republicans with spine

Nice pearl-clutching by the party who wants to whitewash the events of 1/6/21.

According to Fox News, "a few" Dems chanted "Ukraine." It happened toward the end of a roll call vote after 6 months of delays. No mention of your alleged Banderite slogans in their coverage.

What to do when you lose a key vote 311-112? Do you praise Speaker Johnson's political moves? Do you attack Johnson as a RINO traitor? Maybe you cravenly acknowledge the wisdom of bipartisan support that reflects the views of the American people?

No, none of the above. Instead, you whine about something both tangential and insubstantial, as long as it demonizes your enemies and can be used in fundraising from the base.

[Berzerker]

Put those damn flags away

Congresswoman to the Ukrainian flag wavers in Congress as they passed more $$$ for their war

Members not only waved flags but shouted Banderite slogans... slogans chanted by Bandera and his followers as they massacred Jews

I give Johnson credit for actually getting something important done. Not surprising that you want to give Trump the credit.
And we've all seen Pelosi's applause for the Donald. I don't think that's changing...
