Republicans: continued

JPMorgan also referred to the path for a political agreement as being “narrow.”

The debt limit talks may go down to the “bitter end,” Kumar said, and he says it is right to be more concerned about the narrowness of the GOP majority and the Republican Party having what he called a “unified opening bid” on the debt limit. “That’s where the narrowness of the majority is a hindrance,” he said. The party’s ability to unify around a negotiating position, or not, will reveal the strength or weakness of its hand.

The stock market is clearly not responding to the debt ceiling risk to start the year, with a rally that has been built on hopes that inflation is on a trajectory that remains lower while avoiding the recession that many still fear will be an ultimate consequence of Fed interest rate hikes.

The cunning plan to 'trigger' Democratic legislators...

'This is why some members of Congress have been seen wearing lapel pins resembling miniature AR-15 rifles'

Recently, Republican members of Congress, Rep. George Santos and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna have been spotted wearing lapel pins resembling miniature AR-15 rifles.

"Where are these assault weapon pins coming from? Who is passing these out?" Democratic Rep. Jimmy Gomez tweeted.

In another tweet, Gomez noted that Luna had worn the pin at an Oversight hearing less than 48 hours after her state of Florida experienced a mass shooting that wounded 11 people.

"This isn't the flex you think it is," Gomez said.

The mystery of the lapel pins has now been solved. Republican Rep. Andrew Clyde from Georgia owns a gun store and has now taken responsibility for handing them out.

"I hear that this little pin I've been giving out on the House floor has been triggering some of my Democrat colleagues," he said in a video posted to Twitter. "Well, I give it out to remind people of the Second Amendment of the Constitution and how important it is in preserving our liberties."

...

Democratic Rep. Cori Bush noted that lawmakers wore the pins during National Gun Violence Survivors Week.

Other Democratic lawmakers also commented on the pins, with Rep. Dina Titus tweeting: "Weapons of war have no place on our streets, much less on our lapels."

The grand old party of armed fuckwits. Trump Jr., a supposed big game hunter who one might foolishly think would know better, advised 'the good people of Montana' to shoot down the Chinese balloon themselves. Similar exhortations from the dependably dimwitted Taylor Green and Ryan Zinke (former Navy SEAL, disgraced former Secretary of the Interior, current member of the drooling numpty caucus in the House of Representatives). A rifle shot might get to about 10,000 feet/3000 meters, while the balloon was at around 60,000 feet/18,000 meters.

'Republican Congress members urged Americans to shoot down Chinese spy balloon'

Multiple Republican members of Congress publicly urged Americans to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon which made it’s way across the United States this week, before the Biden Administration sent fighter jets to bring it down.

Leading the call was Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a close ally of Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who has a history of stoking outrage for past remarks and associations with white nationalists.

“Literally every regular person I know is talking about how to shoot down the Chinese Spy Balloon. It would be great if an average Joe shot it down because China Joe won’t,” Greene said in a Tweet Friday. “Regular Americans can do everything better than the government and actually care about our country.”

GOP to start on hard drive...without a hard drive:
“We’re going to start with the hard drive because there’s a lot of evidence on the hard drive that suggests Joe Biden knew very well what his family was involved in," Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the Oversight chairman, told reporters last month. "We want to make sure that our national security isn’t compromised because China is an adversary right now."
