Put another way. Apparently, the #GOP via the likes of #TrickleDown, #TeaParty & #MAGA ‘economics’ would gleefully crash America into crisis and chaos because… well because that’s what they do.

“The Federal Reserve’s fight against inflation has amplified the risk of an unthinkable fiscal crisis made possible by decades of Washington dysfunction.”

@polenz_r #Merz versucht - und das bisher ziemlich erfolgreich - die #CDU in eine #Teaparty umzubauen. Dieser Kurs ist völlig offensichtlich.

Nicht inhaltliche Auseinandersetzungen, sondern #Populismus, #Hetze, #Lügen, um in einigen Jahren mit #Faschisten eine #Neoliberalismus-Regierung aufstellen zu können.

So dumm und geschchtsvergessen, dass man aus der Poitik von von #Papen und Co. nichts gelernt hat? Oder so gierig und korrupt, dass es einem egal ist, was nach der heimlichen Boniauszahlung von Blackrock und Co. kommt?

Das können Sie selbst entscheiden.

Uh oh. It’s happening already. #MAGA “carnage” is malignant. It’s as if the #TeaParty has gone stark raving completely insane fascist-wannabe end times cult.

The question is, at what point are enough people going to have a breaking point in terms of their own #economic plight? At what point will they say enough is enough? When that happens, is a #TeaParty type enough or [Senator Robert M.] La Follette or #EugeneDebs type enough?”

BAD PRESS

Some pretty bad headlines for House Republicans, off to a bad start.

#houserepublicans #congress #housespeaker #houseofrepresentatives #speakermccarthy #maga #magamovement #teaparty

@alfredo_liberal

The majority of the #teaparty now #freedum caucus has supported #kevinmccarthy according to #republicans

I think this is wishful thinking for McCarthy supporters. There is just not enough #votes for McCarthy and I don't see a lane where he gets the 5 votes he needs.

I suppose this is why the margins of victory are so important in US elections.

HEY #Republicans!
This is what the
#TeaParty
#MAGA
#AmericaFirst
has done to you!
REPUBLICANS DON'T WORK FOR US
and it shows!
YOU'RE EXTREMISM DOES NOT REPRESENT AMERICA!
A BLACK LIBERAL DEMOCRAT WILL BE FIRST LEADER OF THE "NEW" HOUSE!
@gop
So SAD 😢
😂

I'm happy to report that my health seems to be improving the last 2 days, but I will still have to post old art as I don't have anything new for now. So, I'll be posting throwbacks.

16 Dec 1773: The Boston Tea Party takes place as members of the Sons of Liberty disguised as #Mohawk Indians dump hundreds of crates of tea into #Boston harbor, protesting against the Tea Act. #TeaParty #history #AmericanRevolution #HistoryMatters #ad https://amzn.to/2IMIjo2

It looks like in order to become #senate #majorityleader #KevinMcCarthy is going to give up something big. The #TeaParty wants the right to put forth a #MotionToVacate

Under that, any lone #House Member can bring up a #vote to oust the current #Speaker

Doesn't sound like a smart thing to do.

Reenactment of #LexingtonTeaParty (a lesser known precursor to the #BostonTeaParty in Dec. 1773).
As always, I’m struck by several things. 1) the rhetoric had a lot of business motives as well as talk about rights; 2) they spoke about their Christian God requiring them to act in a way that reminds me of how intolerant they were; 3) it’s a shame that #teaparty has been co-opted by extreme partisans; 4) I love living near historic #Boston

Ghost Teaparty! I really loved this piece when I created it - things have changed for me but I still very much love this one from 2020. I've been doing more oil painting these days! :blobcatcoffee: #gouache #ghosts #teaparty

@panamared27401 They've generally refused to condemn the attempted assassination of #BrettKavanaugh, for example, after spending some time softly supporting potentially violent actions against #SCOTUS justices (specifically #MaxineWaters and #ChuckSchumer). #NancyPelosi also said she wanted to punch #Trump.

I could bring up #BlackLivesMatter and #Antifa but to be honest they're old news, nearly as irrelevant as the #TeaParty at this point

@obihahn Holy frick it's been years since I've heard about or from #HotAir...didn't they used to be huge during the #TeaParty era?
