Dwain Northey (Gen X)

I am so torn between thoroughly enjoying watching the current iteration of the republican party step on their own d*@#s and the insane truth that none of their base thinks there is a problem.

While the Governor of California Gavin Newsome adeptly pointed out that neither of them would be on the Presidential ballot in 2024 and subsequently pointing out all the accomplishments that the current administration has had Florida Governor Ron DeSantis kept inflating his ‘moral superiority’ and interrupting. My takeaway was that for once the Democratic representative did not acquiesce to the incessant interruption from his opponent to continued to talk over Gov. DeSantis.

Since this was a debate on Fox News and Sean Hannity was the moderator, this was undoubtedly the first time Fox viewers had heard anything about the accomplishments of the Biden administration. Fairly curtain that it won’t change any minds but at least the facts got out on the network.

Meanwhile huge infrastructure projects are starting in states like Florida and Colorado that are generating jobs. In prefect hypocrisy that is the GOP, representatives that voted against the infrastructure bill are taking credit for the boom in their districts. Again, in a perfect move by the Biden White House the President has been there to praise the projects and deftly point out that the representative now taking credit for the project voted against it even calling the legislation that is creating jobs in their districts an abject failure. Good job Joe no one since Al Franken has had the gumption to call out the Republicans on their hypocrisy.

Another high point in this weeks GOP House stepping in Dog Shit was when, much to their surprise, Hunter Biden agreed to testify under oath in the open house hearing. In typical GOP fashion that was roundly rejected because they want t closed door hearing. Their reasoning is that in the light of day the real truth cannot possibly be revealed, only in closed door, with no press and no witnesses, can the REAL Truth be uncovered. That seem to me that their mission isn’t the truth but something else.

This has to be the tactic that the Democrats have to use, instead of letting the GOP take credit for things they voted against pointing it out. In the House races use the Congress Persons Voting record against them especially if they are in a state that is receiving huge benefits for the Infrastructure Bill and/or the Chips and Science Bill. The GOP lies so often and with zero regard for their constituents that the Democrat running in that district can not be afraid to call them out on it. It is past time to play nice, if the GOP candidate is lying, call them out on the lie with the facts and prove their dishonesty. This is something that the liberal side of the government hasn’t been willing to do. The professed ‘Conservatives’ are happy to make up lies in whole cloth and challenge anyone to dispute the lie and for the past 40+ years the democrats have been on the side of ‘the truth will come out’. Well guess what, unless we shout the truth as loud as they shout lies no one will hear the truth.

Shout the Truth from the Roof Tops and let the Trumpublican Party continue to step in their own d*@#s.
