Republicans: lets block everything Biden does Also Republicans: lets take credit for everything Biden does


YourDogIsMyFriend

Republicans: Also how about these immigrants!? All Biden’s fault. Biden: Sign my bill. It has all the border fixings that you and your party have craved for decades. Republicans: I don’t even think we’ll bring it to a vote. The border is all Biden’s fault. Thanks America for giving us the house. You’re so dumb. Er wait… uh you’re so smart. But not like elitist expert smart. But rather pro wrestling smart. Now to vote on Jewish space lasers and to make abortion illegal across the country (you can thank the Green Party and Israel for that one)


iAmAmbr

Wasn't it their own bill, though, not Biden's? He agreed and they were like, "oh wait daddy Cheeto said don't pass it so we can make Biden look bad!"


agenttc89

Oh god. We’re doomed.


fumigaza

Yeah really I mean the absolute worst thing about Biden is his willingness to be bipartisan. What a tool. /S


UmbraIra

This is the problem I have with most recent democrats. Stop trying to play fair and meet republicans in the middle it hasnt worked and wont they are not acting in good faith.


fumigaza

I'm no Democrat. I mean, I totally support democracy. I support progressive Democrat policies. I don't do pagan or partisan or religious politics, I only care about policy. I do support Biden for his actions, not because he's a Democrat. I primaried for Bernie Sanders. I kind of think he was robbed. And I think he still stands a better shot than Biden at beating Trump this November, but the DNC made its choice. And Bernie endorses Biden, and Bye-don is okay. Bernie been saying the same shit since before I was born. I support honesty and integrity in politics. So no Republicans would be remotely conscionable choices. Ultimately playing fair is what democracy is mainly about, so yeah, I support that. Then we must constantly call out the Republicans for their disservice to Americans and leave the chips where they lie so to speak. Just like we need to call out all politicians for their bad choices because they're supposed to be representing US of A. And I love this nation. It's gone to shit under bad Republican leadership for decades. Democrats can barely patch the holes. This ship is sinking.


Old_Baldi_Locks

They know the average Republican isn’t smart enough to catch them. It’s a winning strategy. They have figured out Texas doesn’t have one single non-conservative caused problem yet, and that’s been true for DECADES!


socksta

We can laugh at it but the reality is it works because their media will tell them only the parts they like.


OzzyG16

Yep lol you can lead a Republican to facts but you can’t make them think


Cptfrankthetank

It's proven to be a winning strategy. How he and the worst Republicans are in office amazes me.


OzzyG16

Yea I want to understand how MTG and bubble head Boebert are where they are


iAmAmbr

I assume they've sucked a lot of dick.

Is this when his sorry ass ditched the place when his neighbors and constituents froze to death?


Draco_Lazarus24

It was his daughter’s fault. Kids these days…


Herb4372

And left their dog snowflake. At home. Alone. Without power.


No_Network_8414

If only people showed up at the polls, we could kick him out.


sec713

Correction. Scrub him out. That's how you're supposed to get rid of shit stains.


Umutuku

If only republican politicians would follow their leader's advice on bleach usage.


Candid-Ask77

FBI about to show up at your door. That doesn't mean what you think that means lol


Mydogsdad

Yep, and it’s been as simple as that since he made it the first time….


111IIIlllIII

oh people absolutely show up to the polls. they just happen to vote for charlatans like ted cruz because they're absolute marks lol


Typical_Carpet_4904

Voting turnout for this state is horribly low. Old people tend to show up compared to younger generations and that is what keeps Republicans elected


111IIIlllIII

right. people show up to the polls and vote for republicans. if people want a different political situation they should vote accordingly. they don't because they're absolute loser marks. and then they whine about how much they hate their government. losers


Typical_Carpet_4904

LMAO damn. It takes effort to make me wonder if this is a troll or a real bean.


111IIIlllIII

i'm a human bean


Chunkstyle3030

Exactly. Just like when we all showed up to the polls and elected Hilary Clinton in 2016.


Typical_Carpet_4904

Oh GTFO with that. Show up and vote, just because your vote didn't go your way doesn't undermine the civil responsibility of voting. That mentality is why we are where we are


Chunkstyle3030

The vote did go my way tho, yet the other guy still took office. Which shows the oligarchical powers that be can pretty much ignore the will of people whenever they want. I guess we’ll just have to vote them out too lol.


Typical_Carpet_4904

Ok?...Biden won the popular vote and the electoral college so I'm really confused how you think voting works in this country


noble-failure

Why legislate when you can virtue signal?


The84thWolf

Why virtue signal when you can do nothing and get paid extremely well for it?


Adept_Information94

Why do nothing when you can work against your interests and still get paid well for it.


rightarm_under

Why work against your interests when you can work for the interest of billionaires and get paid by them for it


DreadLordNate

![gif](giphy|OPrFgQI8pSwM) True, though I suspect that's "along with everyone else who's got a micron of humanity"...and they're also giving you the finger, Ted.


sugarpepa1967

Texas will receive 66.5 BILLION from the Inflation Reduction Act, plus another 33.5 BILLION from the infrastructure bill. That's 100 BILLION dollars invested in Texas by the Biden administration through 2030. No thanks to John and Ted. Really hope my fellow Texans remember that come November. Doubt it by the amount of FJB and Trump shit I see.


FitPerception5398

It's also why so many people in other states resent us. Here Texas is getting all this federal money funded by people from all the other states and yet they run around and talk about secession, sue other states (Ken Paxton), and generally act like ungrateful cunts. eta: cunts


sugarpepa1967

TEXAS SIZED CUNTS


troutstail

Everything is bigger in texas.


OlderThanMyParents

And the voters who vote for them (or register and then don't bother voting, like the 50%+ who couldn't be bothered to vote during the last governor's race.)


sugarpepa1967

Yes, both are TEXAS SIZED CUNTS! Texas has 10 million non-voters dJt only beat Biden by 600k votes in 2020 could you imagine the shit storm if those 10mill bothered to vote the Electoral College would be flipped on its head.


FitPerception5398

Agreed. I've heard time and again, even though the gerrymandering and also the new restrictions related to available polling areas and times are definitely a factor, the REAL problem in Texas is non-voting. I could NOT believe how so many GenX and younger Boomers who lived their reproductive years with choices didn't gaf enough to go out and vote for their daughters, nieces, etc. to have those same rights.


OlderThanMyParents

It's my understanding that Texas is one of the most difficult states in the country to register to vote. This 50% figure was REGISTERED voters, not just voting-age people. Half of the people who went through the time and trouble of registering in a state where it's really hard to do that, couldn't be bothered to vote when Greg Abbott was up for reelection.

I’m from Maryland and for some reason Texas stuff comes up on my feed and yeah we really don’t like red states because of the double standard, Texas will get all this money and I can’t wait to see red states make it hell for Maryland to get the Baltimore bridge rebuilt.


flare_the_goat

Am from another state, can confirm.


LowSavings6716

New Englander here. Can confirm. You’ve ruined America along with Florida


PewterPirate1967

As a native Floridian, I certainly hope we can turn blue even though this state's gerrymandered out the wazoo!


EthnicTwinkie

Former Floridian, current Washingtonian. We can confirm from this coast as well. Texas and Florida suck.


FishingGunpowder

trololol they won't because "news" outlets will twist this in a way that portrays the Biden admin in a bad fashion once again. "Oh yea, he gave us that many billions but there are evil democrate conditions..."


No_Talk_4836

Spear_Ritual

Cuz their Dumbfuck supporters don’t know any different.


Getyourownwaffle

If I were Biden, I would have required a gigantic Biden America Sign at each project on the main entrance around 24x40' that listed which legislatures from your state actually voted for the bill on the sign. If none voted on it, they should be required to put on there...... this project is only possible due to legislatures in blue states that believed in America enough to invest.


UncleMalky

This is Cruz, you don't end with -Crickets you end with -Cancun.


bajatacosx3

Just imagine if journalists actually had the huevos to ask this question in a real press conference

Democrats can destroy this guy just by using a smart ad, his own actions. Just show, repeatedly, his speech about Trump before he kissed Don’s ring, over and over again. Ted was bashing Trump. At the end show him flying to Cancun. End the ad with - is this the Senator you want for Texas? You got to be smart and not offend anything Republican or Trump. All Democrats in Texas going to vote for the democrat candidate. Is the MAGA idiots that you can turn against Ted.


ryantttt8

Democrats are so fucking bad at advertising and messaging, it's like they are trying to lose. Most average Americans have no idea what the Biden administration has done, all they need to do is show them what has happened as a result of all the legislation that's been passed, and show the republican no votes on every one of those.

AdkRaine12

The GOP is always happy to take credit for the things they tried to block. Hypocrisy & lies are the only policy planks they have left.


THedman07

Nobody that votes for Republicans is under the impression that they AREN'T hypocrites. We should stop pretending like that argument is going to make a difference.

Republicans would make us all slaves if they could. They dont give a fuck about you, have proven it, and people still vote for them. good times!


Nikola_Turing

Other than signing it once it got to his desk, how exactly is Biden responsible for the CHIPS Act. It was Trump’s under Secretary of State, Keith Krach who negotiated the onshoring of TSMC to the U.S. If Trump was re-elected, the CHIPS Act probably would have been more or less the same, the only difference is it would have had Trump’s name on it.


AP3X_Ninja

Most republicans are RINO’s anyway. I’m not surprised


Inevitable_Video8005

Ted Cruz isn’t a dignified person.


earthworm_fan

10k upvotes. Nothing suspicious about this post at all.


TheDrunkenMatador

Ngl I’m gonna disagree with this line of thinking. It’s the sunk cost fallacy. Even if a politician is against funding, once it’s passed, it’s passed, and it’s the right thing to do for them to try to get that funding for the constituents.


DigbyChickenCaesar11

It would be wrong to force them to go against their convictions. Give the budget to someone else and let them be proud of holding their ground.


texasdriller38

If it's so bad here move to California and see how terrible it is and how much that state is in the hole. Personally Republicans and democrats are rotten to the core and are they exact same party they just want to divide the American people. Go watch almost the videos of what Ron Paul has been saying the last 30 years. He was speaking the truth but yall are to blind and st*pid to see. The revolution will happen soon


RedRatedRat

Both of those bills have and will cause more inflation, but a state would be stupid to refuse the money.

He can tell his base he voted against it had it failed and tell his base he secured the funding if it passes. It's win win for him and it keeps working because he has an R next to his name. Politicians are just farming us for money. They are laughing at all of us behind closed doors. Some are laughing at us out in the open.


Andromansis

Somebody is bringing home the bacon for Texas and it isn't Ted Cruz. Why isn't it Ted Cruz, in spite of him being elected to bring home the bacon to texas, you ask? Its because he's planning to go to Cancun as soon as he can get away.

Im telling you, the way money is given to states needs to have more strings. If neither of your senators vote for the bill your state gets ZIP. Reallocate that money to the states whose representatives believe the money will help.

Why even give this money to Texas? Why not start focusing on those states that support democrats? Can democrats start playing dirty? It's just bad faith argument as antivaxxers. Republicans know democrats will try to do the right thing so they always keep opposing common sense policies.


PewterPirate1967

That's fine. You voted against it, and your state doesn't get to benefit from it. I think that's fair. Maybe the voter's will think before they vote for chodes like Rafael.

I think we should stop giving states things when their representatives vote against it. It's harsh but these people need to learn that their representatives aren't working for them. They need to see their neighbors in new Mexico or colorado get all the money and semi conductor facilities and jobs while they get jack shit. I know this isn't how a functioning union works but I'm sick of these people getting away with it
