Steve Scalise is,per Steve Scalise, “David Duke without the baggage.”

“They” don’t know how to lead, govern or manage money. They are very adept at flinging poo at one another and wearing lapel pins.

Could they do any worse? I guess Steve Scalise might be marginally better since Gym Jordan is truly one of the worst, but I also saw Scalise making a pro-gun speech after we know he was critically injured at the mass shooting at a congressional baseball practice.

And the Republicans have no plans to help the American people, no agenda except to oppose the Democrats and support TFG. Unless he is out of our lives for good or if the Democrats regain a majority, the government will be intentionally stalled.
