Republican Accomplishments

Perhaps it's just me but, I seem to detect a dearth of posts from Republican posts about what the Republicans have accomplished. It seems to be that the thread Biden Accomplishments is a place where Republicans can take pot shots at Biden's work. So, I leave it to you Republicans to post what you think are genuine Republican accomplishments of late. Perhaps this will generate "crickets" or perhaps there are Republican accomplishments that many of us aren't aware of. I'm looking for positive Republican accomplishments. Fire away...

You do realize the Democrats have complete control of the House, Senate, and presidency, right? We know for a fact that nothing gets done anymore in a timely manner unless it's one of Biden's 75 executive orders. Trump accomplished quite a bit while he was being investigated by the Democrats for 4 years. Now Biden has everything he needs yet he has created disasters at every turn. It's not really a surprise that you would deflect from his failures and focus on the party that has no power.

Tell me how Republicans could possibly get anything done given their current numbers, then we can go from there. Remember, most Republicans are against almost every nutty policy the Dems are trying to push, so there really is no hope for anything bipartisan.

Come on - Mitch has been very successful in thwarting the Jan 6 Commission. You boys should be proud of that. He's also been great at trying to keep the Dems from passing helpful legislation. Good on ya, Mitch!

Then there's Marjorie Taylor Greene and her successful inflaming of the rabid right wingnuts! She's awesome at that! And Boebert with her guns showing in the zoom background? Can't get much more American than guns, am I right? What about Cruz and his total lack of empathy when he took his spring break to Cancun! What a great guy! Oh, and let's not forget Hawley and his support of the insurrection. Total win for your side. He really owned the libs!

You just aren't looking hard enough for Republican accomplishments, Rick.

There's this thing in Congress that has been used for years by both parties to get things accomplished called "bipartisanship" or "reaching across the aisle," Rick.

I clearly stated why I started this thread, and it wasn't "deflecting."

I suppose even refusing to do that, in order to block legislation, could be considered an accomplishment.

Democrats believe government is there to do things. Republicans are more of the mind that government is a necessary evil and it should do the minimum. So Mitch and the boys with bipartisan help from realist Democrats have managed to stop some of Biden's plans to add trillions to the debt for our children.

On that note, more than two dozen Republicans joined with minority-party Democrats to vote against Trump's Wall "emergency" funding veto.

THE 26 REPUBLICANS WHO’VE VOTED AGAINST TRUMP’S BORDER WALL “EMERGENCY”

Last week, with a 53-36 vote (59.6 percent), the U.S. Senate failed to get the two-thirds necessary to override President Trump’s veto of a resolution reversing his February 15 “national emergency” declaration. That declaration, coming after Trump failed to force Congress to pay billions for his “border wall” demands, would take more than $6 billion from the Defense Department budget and Treasury seized-asset funds, and plow it into border wall construction.

... Except when it comes to women making health decisions. Then, Republicans are all in for the government to step in.

That's an enormous generalization, Fred. Reagan started the whole "government is bad" shtick. Conservatives think government should benefit corporations. Liberals think government should benefit the citizens, not just the wealthy. (see, I can generalize, too!)

It is a fact that ever since Ronnie, the middle class has shrunk. Why do you suppose that is? Oh, yeah, trickle down economics (doesn't work.) But then, I suppose the reduction in middle class, stagnation of wages, increased poverty is an accomplishment of Republicans. Yay team!
