It's just typical politics. Make a big deal out of doing something, then count on the public to a)be ignorant in how bills are passed and/or b) forget about it in the time it takes to get to the Senate.
Just look at some of the other threads about this, and see how many people think the House has complete control of how money is spent. And then remember that the people here are usually more knowledgeable about how the government works than the average American. So if so many people here don't really understand how it works....
I think another piece that no one is mentioning is that no more shot bills will be passed. This is a HIGE win too. Even if this one goes no where. We’ve at least stopped the Dems from further destruction.
I understand. Overall the rules package is a big win. I just don't like the fake excitement about defunding the IRS bill or any other bill that will not make it through the senate and/or will be vetoed.
I don't get the excitement about this, it is dead after it leaves the House right? Am I missing something?
Republicans always act big when they know it won't count. This isn't new.
Like the guy who says hold me back or I’m going to kick someone’s ass. He can talk all he wants as long as he can count on being held back.
Exactly! I'm going to borrow that comparison.

I agree that even just stopping the dems is a win, but passing go nowhere legislation is not something to get too excited about.
