The glory that is our Congress, especially thye GOP, have been having townhalls after a month of His Highness’ program to ‘save America’ and it has not been going so well….Georgia, Tennessee and Missouri townhalls have shown the anger that has been leveled at the Reps when they are at home (these are just the ones that I know off first hand there may be more)…..and now the GOP has slammed on the brakes on such meet and greet with the peasants.
Well, we guess Republican congressmen have tried this town hall thing and it went poorly for them, so now they’re going to go back to hiding from voters. It’s not like they believe in democracy or answering to their constituents anyway. What’s the point of Donald Trump’s and Elon Musk’s fascist Nazi takeover if Republicans have to be held accountable or face re-election? As Trump said on the campaign trail, just come out and vote this time — he was talking to white supremacist Christian nationalists — and you won’t have to vote anymore, ever again.
No more people who jeer at you and tell you to fuck yourself when you tell them their unemployment is all part of God’s glorious plan. No more people to scream at you to do your job or get offended when you say them asking you questions is just like January 6. Don’t these peasants understand their congressman’s job is to help Dear Leader usher in a new golden age dictatorship of autocracy and Nazism?
NBC News reports that House Republicans have decided to “hit the brakes” on all this town hall rigaramarole. They’re “weary and wary,” says the article. And the party leaders are saying “oh bless your hearts!” and “oh you poor things!” and saying they shouldn’t do town halls anymore if they’re scary, and they ARE very scary:
Party leaders suggest that if lawmakers feel the need to hold such events, they do tele-town halls or at least vet attendees to avoid scenes that become viral clips, according to GOP sources.
A GOP aide said House Republican leaders are urging lawmakers to stop engaging in them altogether.

In typical fashion the GOP is blaming outside agitators for the problem….because apparently they want to believe that their assaults on the people’s lives is nothing for them to get angry at so it must be those damn outside agitators.
First and foremost….who are these ‘outside agitators?
Does GOP seriously believe that their actions could not anger anyone of their faithful?
This way they do not have to actually hear in person from people upset with them or their clueless leader.
Thoughts?

“lego ergo scribo”
The anger can only grow.
Let’s hope so and hope it translates into votes. chuq
I hope this is going to get worse, as the groundswell of voters who were fooled into voting for Trump grows at a faster pace as they realise they were duped and get even angrier.
Best wishes, Pete.
If Trump and Elmo keep on this line then I think the grumbling will get mush louder. chuq
Pete, “John” on this site has attacked me – as all Trump supporters do when faced with the truth. he will be one of the first to lose everything and I am very happy to see it happen. We are about to see a large part of our country destroyed by Trump’s chicanery and I am glad to see it because if the the truth doesn’t open their eyes, then perhaps abject poverty and the loss of all benefits that this country has granted them just might sting a bit
I cannot understand how you think that I have ever attacked you….can you kind of explain what you are talking about? Are you aware that my writing style is cynical satire?
There are always outside agitators and sometimes they are actually paid…
but who are these ‘outside agitators’? chuq
Outside agitators (n): A roving band of self-righteous keyboard warriors, parachuting in from distant zip codes, clad in thrift-store berets and armed with megaphones of dubious origin, to heroically disrupt local gripes with unsolicited manifestos, only to vanish when the coffee runs out or the Wi-Fi signal dips below two bars.
Then they are not ‘agitators’ they are mindless opportunist. chuq
Have you heard the news that I am a shill for Trump?
Does that also make you a shill for Russia? chuq
Look what someone called me…..johnrieber

I saw it…..chuq

I take it you are unfamiliar with satirical cynical writing. You need to pay more attention to my blog to see where I am really coming from.
Whoever says there are Agistators is a shill for Trump..these are Republicans who are seeing their jobs going away, their benefits at risk, and a President who has lied to them….I know that one person on this site will attack me and go ahead – you are the fool not me, John
They are trying to lessen the impact of GOP voters realizing they are being screwed…..a typical ploy blame the ‘outside agitators’. chuq
I mentioned that I might not comment any longer due to the abuse I’ve received, but that gives power to “John”, who attacks the way Trump does: lies, smears and vitriol to cover up the emptiness of their argument. Bring it on
I do not understand. I am not attacking anybody ever…is there another John on this site?
Good for you….I want a debate when it is considered necessary….thank you chuq
Thanks you for sharing this…look at the people who are speaking at these town halls…they are everyday American’s who have the right to support whoever they want, but also the right to question why THEY are the ones being punished with these draconian cuts…point the finger where you want but it is coming from ONE PLACE only…the White House
I agree that everyday Americans are the ones who will be negatively affected by all the cutting going on and there is no doubt that the cutting is coming from DOGE …and yes Americans have a right to support whatever they want—Millions of them supported what is happening right now when they voted on November of 2024—but I fear that we are getting to the point now where ordinary everyday Americans are going to be powerless to do anything about what is happening– It seems like some awful history is about to be repeated …so if you can say something to comfort me in all this, I will be the first to be grateful to you.
I do not think our media is reporting this enough…blurbs here and there….more in-depth is called for chuq
The Grothman town hall where he almost got booed out of the building was just a short distance form here and I know people who were there. According to their reports it was even worse than what appeared the media. Everybody knows everybody around here, and knows their political affiliation. The booers at the Oshkosh even were ALL local people, and they were ALL republicans. The average comment went something like “We elected Trump, not that bastard Musk. What the hell do you think you’re doing, sitting on your asses in congress while he’s wrecking the f**king country?” and more of the same. It was bad.
Thanx for the update….I believe that is the case in all these meetings. chuq
