Of course, they are needed, but why didn't Republicans prioritize spending cuts when they had majority control in both chambers of Congress from 2017-2019, with an expanding economy, which did not necessitate fiscal stimulus? During his 4 years in office, Trump signed $4.7 trillion worth of debt into law ... without a peep from House Republicans.

Why do Republicans only care about spending reductions and the debt when a Democrat is President?

Lets not deal with any of that. Let's have hearings about the President's son and his business retainers being way too high, and not filling out his gun application correctly.

House Republican Report Finds No Evidence of Wrongdoing by President Biden
After months of investigation and many public accusations of corruption against Mr. Biden and his family, the first report of the premier House G.O.P. inquiry showed no proof of such misconduct.


Republicans looking like fools--the big press conference that does nothing but rehash info that's long been known.

1) Why do Republicans in Congress only publicly express concern over the debt when a Democrat is President?

2) Why didn't Republicans in Congress collectively do more to reduce government spending while Donald Trump was President, especially when they had majority control of both chambers of Congress from January of 2017 to December of 2018?

^^^^ These are two fair questions. ^^^^

.... which none of our right-wingers ever answer.

Hunter Biden and ex-wife Kathleen Buhle's divorce attorneys were aware of 'Romania deal' payments

Lawyers discussed how funds from 'Romania deal' would be divided during divorce

FIRST ON FOX: Divorce lawyers for Hunter Biden and his ex-wife Kathleen Buhle were aware of money hitting Hunter’s bank account from a "Romania deal," emails show, appearing to contradict Buhle's previous claims she had her "head buried in the sand" when it came to Hunter’s finances.

During a press conference Wednesday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer revealed Buhle was one of several Biden family members, including Hallie Biden, who received foreign money and that Hunter received over $1 million from Romania.

Because most of them want to be the ones doing the overspending. Power of the purse is what gives them power and can help them get re-elected.

We could put an end to most of this by requiring a balanced budget, repealing the 17th amendment, and regressing the tax system.

LEAKED: Emails Show Biden State Department Sought to Protect China During Spy-Balloon Fiasco



With so much domestic rancor going on as the next election season heats up, it’s worth remembering that there are serious foreign policy issues to deal with. It’s also worth remembering that the Biden administration is doing its level best to screw every single one of them up.

A new report backed by leaked emails and inside sources is shedding light on a shocking policy Joe Biden is pursuing in regard to China. According to Reuters, during the Chinese spy balloon fiasco that captivated the nation in early 2023, embattled Secretary of State Antony Blinken was actually seeking to protect the communists.

In other words, instead of punishing China for its insanely provocative violation of US airspace and sovereignty, Blinken had his lackeys pause major human rights and trade measures. That included already planned actions to sanction Chinese tech companies like Huawei and to combat China’s genocide of the Uyghurs.

It gets worse. Though the buck stops with Blinken, he apparently farmed out US policy toward China to Wendy Sherman, his second-in-command.

Who is Wendy Sherman? She’s the China-loving official who led the lobbying effort against the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act of 2021. So not only is Blinken derelict in his duties by passing off the biggest US foreign policy issue in existence to an underling, but he gave those duties to someone with a long history of being suspiciously soft on the Chinese.

Sherman was also at the forefront of the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, infamously proclaiming that the “Taliban seek legitimacy.” If there’s a diplomat with worse instincts, I’m not sure who it would be. Sherman is just terrible and has managed to be on the wrong side of just about every major foreign policy issue she’s been involved with.

But as I’ve speculated in the past, it’d be a mistake to chalk all this up to sheer incompetence. The Biden administration continually operates as if it is bought and paid for by the Chicoms. From COVID to economics, the Chinese are allowed to dominate. It’s long past time for people to start asking why.

This is the part where a deal needs to be made with Buhle to wreck shop and save herself. Immunity in place for now for what she knows, if she declines then put heat on her. Too many names attached to the payments.

Fact check: Joe Biden leveraged Ukraine aid to oust corrupt prosecutor

^^^^ USA Today (Fact Check) ^^^^

From the article above :

"It's true that Joe Biden leveraged $1 billion aid to persuade Ukraine to oust its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, in March 2016. But it wasn't because Shokin was investigating Burisma. It was because Shokin wasn't pursuing corruption among the country's politicians."

and ....

"Burisma Holdings was not under scrutiny at the time Joe Biden called for Shokin to be removed, per the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, an independent agency that has worked closely with the FBI."
Click to expand...
right right. the prosecutor should only focus on corruption from the polticians, not corporations. thats a real great distinction by Biden. how much did those next prosecutors look into politicians, especially some foreign ones bribing the country?

Why was Biden even concerned? What did the 1 billion to aide against Russia have to do with a prosecutor?

"at the time" is a pretty nice choice of words. IIRC the case was on hold because more evidence had come to light/they were reshaping their case against Burisma. the case didn't get dropped completely until after Hunter was hired, and Joe had a couple prosecutors fired.

*I guess to be fair, because I have seen this confusion multiple times, Burisma was not under investigation for hiring Hunter. it was some separate corruption.*

uh, you mean a felon who used politicians to avoid punishment? on a subject you are normally extremely aggressive about to the point of wanting to make criminals out of victims.

all of these problems are related, including the ones you are trying to dismiss. Our abysmal leaders. until we get rid of all of them the problems will remain. with a 90% incumbency rate there is zero incentive to actually address ANY problem.
