'Big, Beautiful Bill' Vote: House Dems 'Just Signed Their Own Political Death Warrant'
Yesterday 5:54 pm
If I were a house deomc rat - I wouldn't be, but if in an alternate universe I were, - I would never, ever let house republicans advise me on what my constituents want. I just wouldn't, on accounbt of not being retarded and all.*Beekeeper » Today, 10:31 am » wrote: ↑ Win back the House?? I can see the ads now!!

In a floor speech before the vote on the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" early Thursday morning, House Speaker Mike Johnson called out his Democrat colleagues for what their ‘no’ votes would signify.
“Let the record show that when the House Democrats vote in a few moments, this is what they'll be voting for,” he said. “Their vote will show that they are apparently for the largest tax increase in the history of our country. They will be voting for when they vote against this bill, waste, fraud, and abuse. They will be voting against safer communities, American energy dominance and American strength on the world stage.”
Indeed, the National Republican Congressional Committee said House Democrats will come to regret their votes, arguing they essentially flipped middle-class America the bird.
“House Democrats just signed their own political death warrant," NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella said in a statement. "Voters won't forget how they betrayed working families. And Republicans won't let them.”
I'm going to maintain an adult level of skepticism regarding what Mike Johnson advises house democ rats. He seems to think he knows more about the democ rat base than do the people they elect, AND he seems to think that the house democ rats' constitutents are going to solicit his opinion about their representatives' votes. I doubt Mr. Johnson on both counts. I have a sneaking suspicion they will frame their votes differently than Johnson has done, when they report back to their voters; and I suspect their base will listen to their framning of the vote over Johnson's.
I will go you one farther. If Speaker Johnson genuinely believes that the democ rat base would approve of the bill, he should run a comb through it for child endangering and misogynist elements. I think Johnson is bluffing.

If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?
