Republicans: continued

The USA is lost and gone.

[Woodbutcher]

I recommend dropping the word "United" from United States. From now on, it'll just be "The States".

The Mess of the States?

Ronny Jackson, who as White House doctor was willing to lie about Trump's height and weight and claimed Trump had 'incredibly good genes' is now deploying his capacity for mendacity in the US Congress. Shitbirds gonna shitbird.

'Republican congressman falsely claims Democratic congresswoman said pedophilia isn’t a crime'

On Thursday afternoon, Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas accused Democratic Rep. Katie Porter of California of having said that “pedophilia isn’t a crime.”

But Porter did not say that. Jackson, like some conservative Twitter personalities, was wrongly describing Porter’s remarks.

Jackson has more than 500,000 followers on Twitter. Here’s what he tweeted: “Katie Porter just said that pedophilia isn’t a crime, she said it’s an ‘identity.’ THIS IS THE EMBODIMENT OF EVIL! The sad thing is that this woman isn’t the only VILE person pushing for pedophilia normalization. This is what progressives believe!”

Jackson’s claim is false. Porter did not say that pedophilia isn’t a crime. Full video from a congressional hearing on Wednesday shows that Porter actually said that LGBTQ people are being falsely smeared on social media as being a “groomer” or “pedophile” merely because of their gender identity and sexual orientation. She did not defend pedophilia itself.

In other words, Porter is being baselessly described as a supporter of pedophilia over comments in which she was denouncing how other people are being baselessly described as pedophiles.

Not that he'll face any real consequence, let alone scrutiny of his premise, but what he's done is call all LGTBQ voters child molesters.

Boebert launches yet another bill that will not pass, but might make the floor starting in January.

If passed, the “No Taxpayer Funds for Illegal Alien Abortions Act” would bar Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Health and Human Services (HHS) employees or contractors from transporting illegal immigrant across state lines to get abortions.

Another Republican myth (free healthcare for illegals) ruined:
How much does the government spend on emergency health services for undocumented immigrants?
Undocumented immigrants receive only a small fraction of total Medicaid and health spending from the federal government related to emergency services.

According to recent Medicaid data, in 2016 the federal government spent $974 million in total on emergency and lifesaving services for undocumented immigrants, representing 0.2% of Medicaid expenditures (approximately $565 billion in 2016) and 0.03% of total national health expenditures that year (approximately $3.3 trillion in 2016). This expenditure includes payments to hospitals, physicians, and ambulance providers for a proportion of their unreimbursed costs associated with providing emergency services under EMTALA to undocumented immigrants.

Tero, what do you think the person who did that latest was working under? I mean, it seems very potent and should not be legal...

Democrat lost because he was going to let criminals loose and get rid of bail. Even though his office was the US senate that does not decide these things!

Evil government want to tax you and spend that money on evil government programs! Must put an end to it!

“They’re trying to jam us right before Christmas. Why would you ever move forward when there’s a change in power in 21 days where Republicans would have a stronger hand?” McCarthy said.
