#GOP #Congress #Politics
We the people deserve a new house speaker, time to have a house speaker that will WORK for ALL THE PEOPLES not someone who listens just to Trump!!!
Voters spoke. 2/3rds said they didn't like the GOP holding the budget hostage for a law already on the books. They listened to voters and removed that part. Strange the things that can happen when you think it will cost your party votes.
The GOP spent over a year playing musical speakers tho.
Moscow Mike had Russian money connected to his campaign as well. MAGA -Keeping it in the family.
MAGAs, 'freedom' caucus, random radicals, and christo-fascist Mike Johnson control the house.
The house is a political party of trump and project 2025
WOMENS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS !!!

That's why Reagan gutted the department of education and why Republicans and their judges refuses to support student loan forgiveness. They want to remove all incentive for Americans to become educated and force boys to take low income jobs.
Most ineffective House of Representatives in history.
Republican majorities have never been successful while in power.
100% FACT, maga was too focused on the impeachment of president Biden, oh and let's not forget how much time they spent on Hunter Bidens laptop, instead of getting things done for the people they work for. Not the party, but the Citizens of the USA! Enough already, vote 💙 for sanity, results, freedoms, and always the constitution! Harris/Walz 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
We came close a little over 100 years ago, but it will be in US History books that the current House of Rep's was our most chaotic and least accomplished in over a century.
I have just ordered the book (Kindle ) in Switzerland. My heart bleeds for America. Vote blue to end the sinister, sick, demented and hateful charade of a bunch of weirdos and would be dictators.
Dump the GOP do nothing Congress
being a dad with daughters in their 30's - wanting to start their families in AZ - my greatest fear is during their pregnancies - have a problem develop & they are rushed to the hospital. Then a nurse tells me about some stupid LAW that they have to get sicker before helping! That will not be something I can accept. Vote Blue & save our daughters lives NOW!! thank you
Pregnancies can be dangerous to women, especially those in rural states that have few clinics for prenatal and post partum problems. Maternal deaths are highest there.
😪👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 Fl.
Your delusional
I know 2 women personally who were in that precise situation.
Remember when Lauren Bobert claimed that Obama care would lead to "death panels"?
Now Republicans have set up death panels! When Republicans make accusations they are just telling you what they plan to do.
The least productive since 1860😮
We don’t need political Obstructionists! That’s what most Republicans are. I hope more voters see this and Vote Against Them! Mercy!
@@roxanneb6208 The GOP wants small government. If they don't want to do much, they shouldn't expect to get paid much.
@@calmnsense the GOP doesn't want small government
They just claim that they want small government as a way of getting votes
Yet in reality they are invading the doctors offices, trying to ban books, and instigate a morality police
1948 !
Vote Democrat 💙💙💙
Keep telling them Jo! It might sink in eventually…
Hakeem Jeffries will make a fine Speaker on January 2nd, 2025
Well Nancy trained him!
@@ianmarshall218 Whether you like Pelosi or not, we should all respect that she actually stepped aside before she become some decrepit joke trying to hold onto power
I live in Iowa and there have been times that I've thought that Grassley worked for the state, but trying to stay in power until he's 95 is just being selfish
yes he will... and first thing he/we need to do is expel every republican member of congress and the senate who gave aid or support to Trumps Insurrection AND Rebellion... the only way we can truly move forward is to clean house before moving on.
OMG YES KAKEEM JEFFRIES WILL BE OUR NEXT SPEAKER.
@@HuskyOwner-bl1jf I agree, her timing was perfect!
Vote blue and make Jeffery as speaker of house… 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
The electoral college must be fixed to a better system for America. With the population of America,it doesn’t work anymore.
It works fine for a minority who control more, smaller states with disproportionate power. It can't be fixed without their cooperation. Good luck with that. But hey, the slave states thought it was great.
That's the reason for it
The EC should have been abolished along with Slavery, since that was it's original intent, to give slave owners higher vote weight since their slaves couldn't legally vote. It's been responsible for giving us 5 Presidents the people didn't pick. Without the EC, we'd rarely have to suffer under Republican leadership.
If we are to retain our freedom we should avoid union of church and state.
the root of all evils!!!
@@WeAreGoingBackTo1776 No they didn't
The founding fathers were deists and hated the idea of the church interfering with matters of state
Go back and read some of their writings on religion and you will learn that they hated organized religion to their very core
@@tonotejada4851 Tja, leider verstehen das Deine verblendeten Mitbürger nicht genug.
Amen to that!
House Republicans: We don’t want to work, we just want power so please vote for us.
Power to rule OVER us not for us!!
Not the power to do something useful, the power to attract attention and baksheesh.
The media needs to show more comparisons from current Trump to 2016 Trump. I saw one on another network and it was incredible to see how different Trump is. He really is losing it but we have all watches his slow decline and got used to it. When shown side by side his dementia is clearly apparent.
Would choose Biden over Trump. But both are too old and have declined in the last 4 years. Trump needs to step down too.
Dana Milbank is a wonderful translator of the insanity of the Trump party.
The only time Johnson speaks, is when he's defending donny, never hear what he's gonna do for the people
Thank you very much.
GOD BLESS

Vote 🗳️ Kamala Harris for President and 💙 🌊 down ballot 🗳 ❤️ 🤍 💙 🇺🇸 🌊🌊🌊 💙
she is better on her own show, because then she can get a say without him shutting over the top of her, my pet hate
Yes I can hardly watch anything that Joe is on anymore because he interrupts everybody
That's definitely the case! I can't stand Joe's impolite talking over Mika. Another no-no imo are Joe's very, very, very looooonnngg questions, where he puts in his point of view at length and basically lets the other person acknowledge what he just said... Overbearing!
I just asked my daughter, Don’t you think Joe is sounding like Trump? He barks nonstop about stories we’ve heard 1000 times. I love Mika. He publicly puts her in her place nonstop. Unfortunately, My long time Joe Show watching is coming to an end.
Trump and Vance attacked Springfield, Ohio with slander that incited violence, costing the city more than social unrest. The police force is still dealing with the expenses of increased security. This is how the Cats and Dogs story should have been covered from the night it began at the debate.
Still not being covered that way by the "both sides" media. They should deal in truth.
Trump still claims that he is traveling to Springfield and Aurora
where his lies have created so much trouble for the communities.
If he actually goes there it will mean more expense and chaos for those townd. Also I am worried he will continue to stir the pot until someone gets hurt.
They should be sued by the city and the citizens!
@@qadriyyahbraxton4758Couch Boy needs to get off the couch and stop satisfying himself and start satisfying the people who he wants votes from.
‘Fools on the hill’ pretty much describes the entire GOP. Trump/Mark Robinson in 2024.

@@trumpcard4182 Bill Clinton never said anything about repealing the Constitution. Trump has, multiple times.
@dexterious006 Kamal Toe is being paid by our taxes to run this country NOW as Biden disappeared. Her new policies to fix inflation.......do it now while in office to show the voters you can do the job. NO she is busy being paid to run her campaign.
@@trumpcard4182 maga Goobers proving yet again - they CAN get stupider each day.
@@trumpcard4182😢 cope harder little ❄️
Fools on the Hill indeed
What an apt title
Forget the polls .Go out and spread the word. We need all the vote we can get .vote 💙💙
Have the repubIicans passed anything meaningful?
Maybe the GOP should change it's nickname from "Grand Ole Party", to FOH... "Fools On the Hill"...
Perfect fit! 🤌🏾
Great title to the book. 😊
So this is what REAL JOURNALISM looks like 👍 I thought us Americans had lost this privilege. Maybe that's why my parents have always tuned in to MSNBC your network says it like it is even when it wasn't what I wanted to necessarily hear. This book here intrigues me. Something about the cover jumps out at me. Looks spicy 🔥
Yeah, they take away any need to do any thinking for yourself. They spend 95% of the time telling you how you should feel about the news rather than telling you the news. I mean it’s not journalism, it’s opinion. News is just the facts of a matter, everything else is very much unethical journalism unless it’s called “opinion”.
@jasonxoc great description of Fox, thanks 😂😊
WSJ is all about money.
THE DO NOTING REPUBLICANS.
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! -democrats
Why the redundancy?
Such an erudite answer to the issues 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂@@Muttenchopsforever
Can't believe polls show this race's close!
I object to the word "zany". That word connotes something amusing. Nothing about this is amusing.
Insane would be a better term.
I wasn't the biggest fan of this show prior to 45. However, it is SO REFRESHING to hear these people speak the TRUTH!! Thank you for doing that. Ari use to do that, but he has softened his show now. Unfortunately, at this time, the country needs the TRUTH NOW more than ever. I HATE how corporate media stations are NOT doing their job.
Why are they calling it “zany”? It’s not a Marx Brothers movie. I want to see a book about corporate media and how they let us down.
If we are to retain our freedom we should avoid control by ambitious and clever would be dictators.
Urantia book 1945.
Trump's ambitious but not that clever.
Oh no, someone other than Joe was about to talk, and we couldn't have that.
Fools on the Hill envelop Nowhere Man.
god bless Clarence Thomas
A national poll several months ago asked something along the lines of "Which party is more effective in governing?". Respondents picked the Republican party. Go figure.
Because those respondents had no memory. The last 2 big recessions happened under republican presidents (GW Bush and Trump) while during democratic presidents always had a successful running economy
Clinton left a record economy to Bush and he gave Obama an economy in recession. Obama left a record running economy to Trump and he gave Biden an economy in recession with the second highest unemployment. People have no memory.
Ding..Survey says 2/3rds of likely voters said they don't like the GOP holding the budget hostage for a law that's already on the books. They listened to them and removed that law. Strange how voters can effect the GOP when they think it will go against their party.
@@walterbo7687 Bush also raided social security for 1.37 trillion to pay for his rich persons tax cuts and fund Desert Storm. Give that money back! It is always left to Democrats to fix Republican disasters.
ignorance
Trump should be acknowledged with a Hall of Shame, rather than a presidential library. It should be located in a repurposed prison to provide the appropriate backdrop!
Former presidents have to pay for their own presidential libraries, with no help from public funds.
Trump, who probably never willingly entered a library, has no interest in raising funds for anyone or anything that doesn't benefit him personally.
Will be very surprised if there is ever a trump library.
VOTE BLUE UP AND DOWN THE BALLOT 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I am totally shocked to hear Mr. Brinkley share that he is a Roman Catholic!😮Vote Blue. 💙💙💙
Get rid of the electoral college
Joe really talks too much. Let your guests speak
Please state who is not being productive....has the gop passed any legislation????
No, they have not. They are not even able to pass their own Bills.
So why pay house ,senators or congress if no work is done,, companies require production or you get the boot ,,,
Back at the start of our government, by law, no one was paid a salary. They got paid while congress was in session and making laws. If you weren't there you got no pay. Production was what counted. Officials changed that law, gave themselves a salary, voted on raises and gave a retirement package.
Some of the worst people in Congress are multi millionaires.
They don't live off their salaries, and would not even miss the money. Per the Constitution they can't be recalled for any reason.
We need to stop electing the ultra rich. Also get rid of the dark money that is ruining our political system.
Congress of do nothing. Every vote counts. Put people that want to work. It is not republicans or Donald Trump
I am not sure the GOP led house is "ineffective" which would indicate they are trying to do something and failing, more like they don't have a clue of what to do or how to act!
Didn't even mention they where the first house majority to get rid of their OWN speaker. Which is just incredible incompetence.
Does he ever let her speak because it seems like she sits next to him as a backup when she needs her own show
Dana, Triple productivity of today's congress is no productivity. As zero X 3 is still Zero.
Judge Luttig is not inciting violence by saying that Trump is "a clear and present danger to the country."
I can't stand how Joe will not let Mika talk. He often barely lets anyone talk. Why doesn't he just have his own show and let her have her own. We'll see which becomes more popular.
This OUGHT NOT BE CLOSE; perhaps we need to discuss the psychology of believing in original decision to vote Trump and are now TRAPPED feeling they have to not change their minds! Even in Peril. Something is causing half of American's misunderstandings. What is really going on?? We need to know.
Why do they get so many free holidays when a new Mom can't have a few free days?
Who is financing this chaos?
Well Trump doesn’t ever get to the part helping the American people, he talks about Hannibal Lecter, sharks or electracution, so give me a break.
Great book title
It confounds me the race is a "tossup." What kind of educational system produces citizens, so incredibly gullibl, they support a carnival barker.
Fools in the hill is correct! Vote all of them out! 💙💙💙💙💙

Bring back an updated version of the Fairness Doctrine that Reagan Vetoed and have the FCC enforce it.
What monster have you created Supreme Court? You gave absolute immunity to a president who also has pardoning powers. Which means, if you put someone in office that is mentally unstable, they are not only immune from accountability but also the underling goons that could do dirty deeds for them. This is insanity and I question your ability to do your job as there is something wrong with you. All 6 of the Engagers should retire or step down.

Ahhhh, the house just passed the build to keep the government running until December. I know, I know it would be better if the government shut down. We would all be better off, but they just voted to keep the government running.
Vote blue 💙

Of course! No interest in making America better. Medical bills, jobs, etc, etc....its only about point scoring and no interest in helping the people who elected them. They are pathetic, self-serving career politicians.
Look at what he's done to Springfield, OH; trump is the chaos master.
Johnson and Trump need to step down
Republicans need a serious time out. Vote BLUE up down and all around the ballot!
Joe, can you get the author of the JOURNAL AND OR NY TIMES have them address the articles
Dear Joe. FBI told they had registrated at 600 other influencers paid from Russia, have you heard more frome the battleground about this and FBI. If Trump is getting help for more lies there this will be difficult for Harris. Best Regards from Arne in Norway

“They’ve got to find, in the House, a totally new strategy. Everybody’s now talking about, ‘Oh, here comes the debt ceiling.’ I think that’s, frankly, a dead loser.
