Again and again, they prove their projection is all about intent, and the hypocrisy doesn’t matter. They SAID someone did something they intended to do, and even though it’s bullshit, they go and do it.
In this case, bitching about 60 Minutes “helping” the Harris campaign by editing for time, when they intended to force journalists to capitulate to them editing for actual content.
Totally not alarming. A good solid blue vote in the midterms in just 12 short months away will fix that (once Johnson figures out how to also swear in the non GOP congress people)
A blue wave is not coming. Go look at projections for 2026.
The trends show that the levels of favor ability we see now predict an insane blue wave.
The problem is whether or not the Republicans would let it happen. Johnson refusing to swear in the Arizona congresswoman is very blatantly a test run to just ignore the Democrats and carry on with a Republican supermajority and many open seats.
No taxation without representation.
If the speaker is preventing my elected official from representing me, then I shouldn’t have to pay a fucking cent until they are seated.
Good luck withholding taxes.
It’s worked in the past.
It’s more that for most people paying taxes is automatic and they have zero control. My job pays the taxes out of my paycheck before I get any of the money, I cannot withhold taxes without quitting my job.
Not sure how it works in USA but can’t you elect to not have your employer withhold your taxes for you and then have to pay your annual tax in a lump sum at the end of the fiscal year? That’s part of standard HR taxation forms here in Australia and some people do it in order to invest what they would otherwise be paying in taxes then divest at tax time, pay their tax, and hold onto the capital gains from their investment that they’d otherwise not have had access to. Sure they pay capital gains tax on that but it’s still a net windfall if their investments accrue.
