GOP Goal for 2022 & Beyond: Hell-Bent for Leather for Tyrannical Control With No Bounds

Speaker-Wannabe McCarthy & Disrupters

(Commitment to Chaos & Furor not America)

Post topic for today here from Yahoo News with this headline:

“Biden's 'unusual' midterm strategy favors low-key approach over high-profile rallies”

Highlights: Biden and DEM successes going into the November 8 midterms is their legislative achievements that are great vs. the GOP’s culture war agenda and divisive issues in which Republicans tend to have an advantage and skill at hyping and delivering to their base. 

Biden and Democrat achievements include:

1.    $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill.

2.    $370 billion for climate change.

3.    Reducing prescription drug pricing.

4.    Microchip manufacturing in several states.

5.    Jobs from overseas back to the U.S.

6.    Gun control.

7.    Historical debt relief and the deficit was cut in half in 2022.

Biden also has promised to codify Roe v. Wade and reinstate the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 after it was in effect from 1994 signed into law by Bill Clinton — that is if Democrats can expand their congressional majorities.

The public likes and approves those things overall.

Biden and the DEMS have a tremendous public record to stand behind and sticking to the success of those things matters compared to the GOP and their sustained harsh messages on weak social issues and nitpicked harsh divisive topics that are effective in scope but only in the short term and mostly only appealing to their Trump-inspired cult-like base of supporters repeating 2020 lies sustained by Trump mostly, yet effective to their base in red-run states mostly.

This article emphasizes my point on this divisive harsh GOP: They aim to pass a national “Don’t Say Gay” law (um, so there are no “gay” Republicans in America or in office I suppose? Yeah, right.)

This from President Biden sure to please the public in general, too from Market Watch here:

“Biden says ‘I will not yield’ if Republicans demand Medicare, Social Security cuts for debt-limit increases”

Then add this from the GOP with this headline article from The Guardian to prove my basic points listed above (and in my earlier post which follows this today):

“Republicans plan to torpedo key Biden policies as polls predict midterm victory”

GOP aims and promises if they regain power: A standoff over the debt ceiling. Aid to Ukraine on the chopping block. Impeachment of HSD Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas – perhaps even President Joe Biden.

With some polls indicating they have a good shot of winning a majority in the House of Representatives in the 8 November midterms, top Republican lawmakers have in recent weeks offered a preview what they might do with their resurgent power, and made clear they have their sights set on key aspects of the Biden administration’s policies at home and abroad.

Kevin McCarthy, the top Republican in the chamber, this week signaled in an interview with Punchbowl News that if Congress is going to approve an increase in the amount the federal government can borrow – as it’s expected to need to by sometime next year – Republicans are going to want an agreement to cut spending in return.

McCarthy (R-CA) who desires to be the new Speaker says: “You can’t just continue down the path to keep spending and adding to the debt. And if people want to make a debt ceiling [for a longer period of time], just like anything else, there comes a point in time where, okay, we’ll provide you more money, but you got to change your current behavior.”

Asked if he might demand that Social Security and Medicare, the two massive federal retirement and healthcare benefit programs that are nearing insolvency, be reformed as part of debt ceiling negotiations, McCarthy replied that he would not “predetermine anything.”

He then warned that members of his GOP caucus were starting to question the money Washington was sending to Ukraine to help it fend off Russia’s invasion saying: “Ukraine is important, but at the same time it can’t be the only thing they do and it can’t be a blank check.”

Then there’s the question of if Republicans will choose to exercise the House’s powers of impeachment – as they did against Bill Clinton in 1998, and as Democrats did to Donald Trump in 2019 and 2021.

Their prime target appears to be Mayorkas, whom Republicans have pilloried amid an uptick in arrivals of migrants at the United States’ border with Mexico. 

Yet another target could be Biden himself – as Jim Banks (R-IN) chair of the conservative Republican Study Committee, which crafts policy for the party suggested.

My 2 Cents: This new Trump owned and operated GOP has one aim – one goal: Take power and rip the nation into tiny pieces and flush them just like Trump used to flush notes and stuff down his toilet in the White House – in short government bent on revenge and anarchy and not much else … wait and see. It will get very, very ugly.

Please vote for a better country and future for us all and to stop the ugly divisiveness.

Thanks for stopping by.
