They have a rep for being a good company and over the years that has helped them a lot I think.

Worth noting that people still have no idea how much damage Trump and Republicans did the first go around.

Sounds like... they have not made it worthwhile though...

How does Costco make charging their customers to go grocery shopping worthwhile?

It's not an argument. That is why you are confused, don't understand, and insult.

Yup.

You don't understand what they are saying. You don't understand what I'm saying.

You are the problem. Not some Republican politician whose lie you don't understand.

They need to go the Costco membership route and make it worthwhile. Arcades went out of business for more than one reason.

“The Republican Party, as many of us know it, no longer exists,” said one source, who asked not to be named. “We do not recognize ourselves anymore in Trump’s administration. There is a strong movement out there in the party to reclaim the values we were raised on and reclaim the middle ground.”

Translation: "Omg can you believe this leopard is eating my face? Now that I'm personally affected by my own stupidity I want to be friends with Democrats!"

Competing interests. It's not about support it's about what do they get in return for their support and most of them the most important thing is promises for their next reelection. Then mony.

Republicans know. This is not their first rodeo. What do you think is going to happen after a bunch of Democrats somehow get voted in?

What do you think is going to happen with midterms?

One explanation is that they don’t understand just how unpopular the bill is apt to be when it takes effect. Many Republicans rely on party-aligned media for their news, and these sources have mostly cheered the bill while ignoring its downsides. Both chambers of Congress have rushed the bill through with minimal scrutiny, shielding members from exposure to concerns. Even the White House seems unaware of what exactly it’s pressuring Congress to do. Yesterday, when a reporter asked Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about the megabill’s proposed tax on wind and solar energy, she appeared totally unfamiliar with the measure and punted the question. (The tax provision was later removed.)

Jan 6th was not a boundary push.

Yep. We had a solid 4 years for USA to figure some shit. Global pandemic to nail it home too. We didn't.

Republicans have been at this for decades. First round of Trump should have been enough. It wasn't. Now Republicans have full control.

You can only warn people for so many years. We are past that point. Everyone that refused to listen are now going to get what their wilful ignorance wanted.

Because there's a schedule for Project 2025. Clock's ticking. They have to get a lot done before the next Presidential election.

Remember kids, Jan 6th was not practice or a trial run.

Yup. It's not about money it's about control. So long as they have control while the world burns they are happy.

Once you win at life and have enough money to fuck off to a beach somewhere most people do. Some people can't. Because they still want your money.

So they can control you.

They are basically addicts. If they weren't they would be on that beach and no one would be talking about them.

Fucking bingo.

I'm not talking about this one bill. Read the article again.

The article doesn't get everything right but it is clear.

How are they so short-sighted?

They are old. They have zero empathy. They are addicted to money.

They are not short sighted. They just don't care who's at the bottom after they pull the ladder up.

The only thing they worry about is being in prison with no money. Which is why it very rarely ever happens.
