Republican Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) tore into his GOP colleagues during a Thursday appearance on Newsmax, criticizing their approach to government funding and saying his colleagues in the party have “nothing to campaign on.”
Biggs, former chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, slammed his conference after being asked how many of the 12 individual spending bills the House Republicans completed during an appearance on “The Chris Salcedo Show.”
“None. None. None have been completed,” Biggs said. “There’ve been a few of them. Seven I think have been sent to the Senate from the House. The Senate has not taken up a single one of those bills. How do you campaign on the trust of the American people? You failed and continue to fund this goofy Ukraine, this outrageous Ukraine debacle that’s going on.”
weird how russia literally invades neighbor… but thats just ‘goofy stuff’.
what we really needs is whole states spending whole governments time so they can regulate the .001% of the population who are trans. lets keep that incredibly expensive human-time to something worthwhile, after all.
As a nation, we began by declaring that ‘all men are created equal.’ We now practically read it ‘all men are created equal, except negroes.’ When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read ‘all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics.’ When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty – to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.
-Abraham Lincoln, back before Republicans were the know-nothing traitor party
Oh look, another republican traitor actively working for our geopolitical enemy. The republican traitor swine must be dealt with.
As if the GOP campaigns on accomplishments. They will campaign as they always do, on scary wedge issues and very thinly veiled bigotry.
“None. None. None have been completed,” Biggs said. “There’ve been a few of them. Seven I think have been sent to the Senate from the House. The Senate has not taken up a single one of those bills. How do you campaign on the trust of the American people? You failed and continue to fund this goofy Ukraine, this outrageous Ukraine debacle that’s going on.”
Don’t confuse this with criticism of the GOP. It is clearly Senate Democrats fault that House Republicans can’t get their shit together…

Wow, good read!
It’s paywalled
Thank you 🌲
This idiot is my congressman. And it’s his own fault that this is happening. The trashbag was part of the stop the steal movement too.
They have nothing to campaign on. Gee, I wonder why that is.
Could it be because they made fealty to Donald Trump and the MAGA movement their one and only political priority? Could it be because they adopted Mitch McConnell’s policy of not actually trying to accomplish anything and instead just focusing on ways of saying everything the other party is doing is bad? Could it be because the party has adopted a policy of going to literally any length to be against anything a Democrat says or does by default, regardless of the mental gymnastics needed to justify their position? Could it be their insistence on pushing policies even if they are wildly unpopular among their own voters?
No, I’m sure none of that has anything to do with anything. It’s because there’s still at least one trans kid in the middle of Bumfuck, Idaho somewhere that hasn’t been traumatized yet. And he’s probably reading Hank Aaron’s biography or something, too. Surely they’d win if they just made sure to punish that little kid properly. I mean pushing an abortion agenda where they said they’d have forced a 10 year old rape victim to give birth worked so well for them, what could possibly go wrong with making preteen rape victims also become parents? I’m sure doing more of that will drum up support… (Sadly, while I say that sarcastically, there are those out there who truly feel that this is the case…)
Nothing would please me more than hooking jumper cables up to these people and electrocuting them continuously until the power is shut off for non-payment of the bill.
Fear and hate seems to be working pretty well for them.
As is the descent into fascism.
