Failure To Launch 🚀

 Remember when we were being invaded? Good times, good times:

Neguse: My question why has it taken 100 days for the homeland security subcommittee and the full appropriations committee to bring this bill to the rules committee if the situation on the southern border is as urgent as you and I both believe it is?

Could it be because, if they solved the problem (or just said they did. Some people still think Trump actually built a wall that actually works. And why is it no longer keeping all the scary brown people out? That’s Biden’s fault.), they’d have to find something new to scream about and terrorize people with?

Whatever happened to the talk of invasion, anyway? You still hear about it once in a while, but it doesn’t have the same verve, the same manic energy it used to have. It’s like all the fizz has gone out of the bottle…

Neguse: Americans might wonder how did we get here and what legislative strategy has the House Republican Caucus devised to avoid a government shutdown. Apparently, that strategy is waste an entire summer debating bills on protecting gas stoves….

Go on!…. 

Neguse: The question that I am trying to reconcile is why the Republican majority decided to spend the summer on bills on gas stoves and the prairie chicken and then send everyone home for a 47-day recess, only to come back seven days before the government is slated to shut down.

I have it on good authority that it’s Biden’s fault. Failure to lead, or something…

Anyway, unimpeachable (!) authority that it’s not the House GOP’s fault!

Boebert: Unfortunately we've wasted many months and we're at this deadline of government funding running out and us on the brink of a shutdown… My colleagues and I are fighting to fund the government.

They just run the House. You can’t hold them responsible for its failures to govern.
