‘It’s embarrassing’: Republicans worry they have no achievements to run on in 2024

Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, has openly questioned whether the GOP deserves to keep the House majority, lamenting the lack of accomplishments this Congress. He’s not alone.

WASHINGTON — When Congress began the new year, Rep. Andy Biggs gave a television interview and made a startling confession: House Republicans have done nothing they can run on.

“We have nothing. In my opinion, we have nothing to go out there and campaign on,” the Arizona Republican said on the conservative network Newsmax. “It’s embarrassing.”

Anchor Chris Salcedo responded with a bemused chuckle. “I know,” he said. “The Republican Party in the Congress majority has zero accomplishments.”

The exchange captured a dynamic that looms over Republican lawmakers heading into the 2024 election: They’ve passed little substantive legislation since winning the majority in 2022 and struggled to do the basics of governing with a Democratic-led Senate. Their first year was instead marked by fractiousness and chaos, complicating the party’s pitch to voters this fall. The challenge is accentuated by likely GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump making “retribution” against his enemies, rather than shared policy goals, the centerpiece of his comeback bid as he continues to spread fabricated claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him.

The Convict will want a piece of that. Expect a cease-and-desist letter from his shysters. It won't work, though.

I would imagine he is already getting a piece of that action. That infamous image may be in the public domain but when used for commercial purposes he likely has some legal claim to a piece of the pie.

Hopefully not tho and he rips off some more lawyers trying to get it. With any luck he won't be able to find any lawyers and have to use a public defender or better yet represent himself and that's a gong show I'd pay to watch! :D

:peace:

In a way, the zero note is definitively on-brand. If anyone could be the face of a currency with negative value — that man would be born into the role.

I imagine anticurrency from a physics perspective. One dollar and one antidollar collide and generate some heat and possibly a Newtrino or two … gotta ask the Gingrich family if their detector got signal.

To extend this narrative beyond the already absurd, imagine a quantum limit to cryptocurrency. Oh to be the architect of Planckoin™️
