    He also has designs on "weaponizing" the IRS and DOJ to go after all who dared criticize him, including the press

    Isn't peculiar that the conman who chastises Biden for "allegedly"  weaponizing the DOJ to go after him - whilst whining incessantly that it is wrong to do that - would then seek to actually do that himself in reality!

    Of course.

    They want to deny Biden a successful move to help America -  which would be a plus for the Dems in the coming election.  So the plan is to HURT AMERICA  so that the MAGAs can use that pain to blame the Biden admin and create more anger among their brainless MAGA sheep against the Dems.

    Meaningful legislation?

     

    Well there will be a vote next week on the bipartisan border proposal.  We'll see how that goes.

    Republican Haley says Trump wants to tax every American by imposing 10% tariff on all imports.  This regressive tax would be paid largely by ordinary Americans while costing jobs, wages and economic growth.  Tax foundation estimates Trump proposal would act as a $300 billion tax on most Americans.

    Gee, it sure is telling when the GOP refuses to pass even their own legislation because it could help America when a political opponent is president. 

    Imagine that - can’t do anything for the good of regular Americans because it would hurt Orange Mussolini’s already dim chances of getting elected.

    Dysfunctional republicans work to paralyze government while accomplishing nothing useful.

    So as per 

    "What meaningful legislation does the GOP plan to introduce?" 

    we now know it won't be a bipartisan legislation to help in some meaningful way the border issues, since the fear is the democrats might actually accept it and Biden gets a victory while Trump would lose a major talking point.

    Oddly, republicans abandon their own negotiator Lankford and border security that they demanded.  Bipartisan immigration bill is the most conservative in decades.  Border patrol union endorses this bill which is far better than the status quo.  But without compromise, there can never be a deal.  Republicans can only get what they want if they give democrats what they want.  Problem is republicans choosing politics over country.   Missed unique opportunity to make some progress in fixing broken immigration system.

    Politico reveals GOP plan to infuse Christian nationalism into government if Trump is re-elected.  This would be straight out of the horror novel Handmaid's tale.  Nationwide abortion ban, attacks on same sex marriage, restrictions on contraceptives, ending sex education in schools, book bans and use of insurrection act to quash protests.

    Sounds much more like MAGA FASCISM.

     Exactly. 

    But their messiah told them to.

    Because anything good for America to help resolve some issues - even if only partially - is not a good look for the convicted fraud & sex-offender because it makes his opponents look like they are trying to improves things.

    If re-elected, Trump promises to increase tariffs on imported goods.  His previous trade war was a failure which hurt US economy.  Peterson institute for international economics found no evidence Trump tariffs revive US manufacturing and job creation.  Instead American consumers and businesses pay higher costs.  According to Tax foundation, Trump tariffs cost consumers $80 billion and 166,000 jobs.  Retaliatory tariffs lead to $30 billion bailout for American farmers who suffer loss in exports.  Proposed 10% tariff on all imports is estimated to cost families an average of $2600 per year.  History shows restricting trade can end up with negative consequences outweighing positive ones.  Another trade war could make everyone poorer.

    According to the Hill, Trump threatens to cut spending on social security and medicare if re-elected.  Previously as president, every budget has proposed cuts.

    Rolling stones reveal Trump's awful promises if he is re-elected.  Indict political enemies.  Deport illegal immigrants.  Send military to border.  Invade Mexico.  Round up the homeless and send national guard to cities.  Ban abortion nationwide.  Bring back death penalty.  Tax all imported goods.  Abandon NATO. Roll back climate action progress.  Construct cities with flying cars.  Overhaul education system in MAGA image.  Go after non-MAGA media.  De-legitimize trans Americans.  Pardon January 6 rioters.  Gut federal government.

    Well, if we are to ever get a hold of our spiraling debt, these 2 are the biggest "spending programs."   

    No politician wants to touch SS cuts (thus, I call it a "political grenade").  But the reality is that the system will be insolvent by 2035.  So, people better start planning on getting 80% of what they are promised by the Social Security Administration, regardless of what the SSA website tells you, because that's about all that it will be able to sustain if no changes are made.... And I already mentioned it's a political grenade, so highly likely no changes will ever be made until it's too late and 20% cutbacks are implemented.

    MIKE JOHNSON TO THE GOP HOUSE MEMBERS: "Guys, you can’t bail on the retreat, I already ordered potato sacks for a relay race, invited that hilarious comedian Joel Osteen, and booked Lara Trump to sing all of Tom Petty’s greatest hits."

    GOP HOUSE TO MIKE JOHNSON: "Screw that! We want affairs, circle jerks, and coke orgies.! Gaetz wants old wine & younger women."

    Johnson has learned that when you follow false idols, you reap what you sow. Lil Moses has done nothing but part the GOP. So to speak..

    "I am proud to announce that I secured $1,857,000 for a Water District Development Project for the Town of Massena in this year’s appropriations process. This funding will go toward providing public water service to the residents of Massena." So says Rep. Ellie Stefanik ( R-NY)

    SECURED???? 

    She voted against the bill.

    Absolutely soul less.

    Damn sure glad Biden ended those bad Trump tariffs as soon as he took office!!

    What????

    Seven major groups of steel manufactures and unions urge Biden NOT to remove Trump tariffs. The tariffs removed the threat of surges in steel imports that threatened over 2 million jobs!!

    "The tariffs have been a sucess, allowing our industry to restart idled mills, re-hire laidoff workers and invest in the future," they said. an_clap thumbs_up

    Exactly.

    --Funny how they worry most about attacking political enemies. I WONDER WHY? an_roll_laugh

    --Invade Mexico, that was Joe Biden's idea 25 years ago.

    --Round up the homeless. They gonna use Texas cowboys for that roundup?? .............Addressing the problem would be nice! And a president cannot send national guard without a request from the city.

    --Ban Abortion nationwide, my fav. Trump has MADE IT CLEAR, he supports abortion up to 16 weeks, that's 4 months! Dems want 9 months.

    --Abandon NATO. Trump won't abandon NATO, just make everybody pay their agreed share, even if you have to shake/scare the shit out of them.

    --If children's schools are MAGA because there is no porn on the shelves and kids are taught we are all created equal then so be it and too bad that bothers you.

    --Never seen Trump say anything about trans other than you are not shoving it down children's throats. And Trump won't glorify it either. And men trans to women are not knocking the teeth outta girls in sports, no brainer.

    Gut Federal government? Scale it back, yes! 

    Deport illegal aliens, yep!

    Take charge of the border, yep! That alone will get him elected. an_light

    Bring back death penalty? Thought states controlled that. 

    Tax ALL imported goods, not gonna happen. Prevent China from dumping on certain markets to put American manufacturing out of business? Hell yes. Just like his tariffs did. an_light

    There has been little to no climate change progress, 2023 was worst CO2 global output ever. US lowered it's output compared to 2017 by just  .15 billion tons while China and India increased by 1.8 billion tons and are still growing at a rapid pace. Electric car sales have fizzled.

    Cities with flying cars. Nice dream. https://robbreport.com/motors/aviation/three-manufacturers-bringing-flying-automobiles-to-market-1234758578/

    Pardon Jan 6 roiters, now that's a correct statement, rioters not insurrectionists. thumbs_up

    Go after non-MAGA media. Just like go after political opponents, wonder why they would think that? an_roll_laughNot much one can do with the press.

     How about you answer the question instead of deflecting. Which topic 3rd mentioned is incorrect?

    @UNIMAN

     Trump is an absolute disgrace & it's pathetic that your party no longer exists. It's become the Trump party. It's scary to think of his potentiual cabinet. This POS will be in jail before he ever becomes President again.

    This thread is about legislation. How about speaking to that matter?
