The flames that ignited a political firestorm among House Republicans are bound to get bigger and hotter in the months ahead, according to Steve Bannon.
An already-slim GOP majority became slimmer on Friday when more than 100 House Republicans joined Democrats to expel embattled New York Representative George Santos, making him the sixth House member in U.S. history and third since the Civil War to be expelled. The first openly gay non-incumbent Republican, who won his bid for Congress in a pro-Joe Biden district, faces a 23-count federal indictment but maintains his innocence on all charges.
Speaker Mike Johnson, who in late October replaced the vacated Kevin McCarthy, opposed Santos' expulsion and is working to mend a conference in which members have been outspoken about curbing government spending, continued aid for Ukraine in its war against Russia, and impeaching the president and other administrations officials such as Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Why doesn't this do-nothing congress get rid of the national debt by having all the rich 1% return all the money that, over the years, they have gained via those tax cuts for the rich?

..."What that means is violating the norms and voting down the rules, but if that's what it takes, that's what we're gonna do," Burlison said. "If it means taking a trip to the border and denying them the majority, then that's what we're gonna do. At the end of the day, we're here to save America."
That includes "denying the majority" in legislative attempts for additional Ukraine funding to tend to domestic issues like immigration, Burlison added."...
