So this is a kerfuffle
There appear to be the first signs of a bit of a kerfuffle going on in Republican circles. It has to do with the House — AND the Senate. Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson said over the weekend that, in his opinion, there is enough push-back on Trump’s “big beautiful bill” to “stop the process,” at least for now.
Johnson said this on “State of the Union,,” adding that Congressional Republicans need to go “line by line to find areas to eliminate.” Only that’s not what Donald Trump wants. And if there’s one thing we know, it’s that House Republicans are tiny, cowardly little fish in Trump’s net, and they NEVER do anything Master disapproves of. They are even worse than the Senate in that way.
Only that begs the question: what to do now? It appears a fight is shaping up between the House and the Senate, Mike Johnson, House Creeper, has ordered the Senate not to make too many changes to this ugly bill, or it won’t pass when it goes back to the House. But Senate Republicans — many of them — don’t like this bill, for different reasons, of course.
What’s a coward to do? This situation was not helped at all when Kentucky Senator Rand Paul went on Fox News Sunday, and decimated the bill, calling it “wimpy.” They do have a way with words, don’t they?
Missouri Senator Josh Hawley doesn’t like it either. Not because he gives a damn about the American people, but because he worries that such a bill would kick off so many from Medicaid with those pesky midterms just around the corner.
What we have here is an extensive garbage dump. Nobody seems to know what they’re doing, and the bill in all of its blooming toxicity seems to have become the poison pill of Republicans’ worst nightmares, the one thing that has the potential to make them — or break them.
