Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said there will not be an amendment vote on extending expiring ObamaCare enhanced subsidies as part of a House Republican health care bill this week, in a move that is infuriating moderate Republicans who had been pushing to go on the record about the subsidies.
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), one of the members who had been pushing for a vote to extend the subsidies that expire Dec. 31, fumed at the decision as he emerged from a House Republican Conference meeting Tuesday morning.
“I think it’s idiotic not to have an up-or-down vote on this issue,” Lawler said, adding: “It is political malpractice.”
What worries me most is their acting like they don’t worry about the midterms … how?!
People are deeply stupid.
The Left will inevitably start getting pissy that their candidates didn’t win primaries and sit out the generals. And the conservatives will get brainwashed into thinking all the problems were a time bomb left by Barack HUSSEIN Obama.
And… it is increasingly looking like there might be good odds that trump is dead by then and president vance (and now I threw up in my mouth a bit) is sacrificed as “undoing all the good trump did and why you need to vote for hegseth in 2028”
Also at this stage they know they will just fix the vote if things aren’t swinging their way. They don’t give a rats ass about the law anymore.
Vote fixing is not that easy.
Massive landslide victories will be far too obvious. I am not sure if there is a “Your honor, this is clearly bullshit” clause for recounts but it will trigger them.
As for the closer stuff? Yes, electronic voting is deeply stupid and dangerous. But it is also worth understanding that many systems are still built around a paper ballot that you feed into it. And those will show massive discrepancies. ESPECIALLY in the “blue states” where these wins would most matter.
For a presidential election? I could see a world where very targeted election fraud could MAYBE be pulled off, but I stand by: can you imagine the chuds and musk NOT bragging about outright fraud?
But for midterms and anything down ballot? The places that matter most are the ones where republicans don’t control the state government in its entirety. And when the recount is like 20% different than the reported vote?
Nah. Election fraud is the distraction. They’ll just perform, ANOTHER, violent insurrection and take the government by force.
If you rig the elections enough you don’t have to worry.
Or you just cancel them because something something “antifa”.
Rigged elections. Republican super donor company bought dominion voting machines. Just one example.
Obviously they have a plan for that
You think there will be midterms.
There will absolutely be midterms, just like how Russia has elections. They go through the motions and report the results they want.
