Summary
The House GOP’s new rules package aims to weaken minority party influence while advancing a pro-corporate agenda.
Key provisions include shielding the House speaker from bipartisan accountability and fast-tracking 12 GOP bills without allowing amendments, including measures to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) and protect fracking.
Democrats, led by Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), criticized the package for ignoring economic and social issues like inflation and housing while prioritizing tax cuts for billionaires.
Republicans plan to offset these costs by slashing social programs, sparking warnings of further congressional dysfunction.
No. I’m saying they didn’t even have to do that because all these lazy motherfuckers complaining about the party don’t even get off their ass to try and change it.
And moreover, the “insiders” who control the party agent some mysterious cabal. They’re people who have been chosen to lead the party by the party. You change them by participating in primaries and (more importantly) local primaries.
Party leadership isn’t hatched from an egg. They climb the ranks over decades of party membership. The Clinton’s weren’t formed from the ether in 1992. They’d been involved in the party for decades before they were known nationally.
You select the people to lead the party in the future at the local level. You can’t just magic them into existence by doing jack-all but complaining every 4 years that they didn’t listen to what you weren’t telling them.
