This evening:

Congressman Mark Alford
[December 19, 2024]
Just spoke truth to power on the House floor and the progressive Democrats can’t handle it!
If a shutdown occurs, it will not be a Republican shutdown—this will be a DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN.
[….]

Oh, really?

House rejects Johnson’s plan B to prevent shutdown
[….]
The measure — which Johnson rolled out hours roughly three hours before the vote — failed to clear the chamber in a 174-235-1 vote, falling short of the two-thirds threshold needed for passage under the fast-track suspension of the rules process.
[….]

Some of the responses to Mark Alford (r):

Mark Alford It Will Be President Trump/Musk’s Shutdown ! Please Pay Attention ! Tell Speaker Johnson To Cut The Pork Out of the Bill “Pay Raise for Congress” ! Congress Doesn’t Deserve a Pay Raise ! ! Congress Deserves a Pay Cut ! !

Who is president now?

Sadly It Looks Like a African Billionaire “Elon Musk” ! [….]

Heh.

I hate to break this to you, but your orange shitstain is personally responsible for well over 35% of that number, and experts have been warning for months that the orange shitstain’s plans will add another $10 Trillion to the debt – and in just a few years. Google it. Read about it. Learn. Catch up with the #FACTS

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

And the almost only trillionaire in the world is pulling all the puppet strings and making the GOP jump thru his hoops …. so, your point is?

There was a bipartisan bill and that was knocked down because REPUBLICANS do not want compromise. They want it all their way. Well then have it your way. It rests on Republicans. As long as Republicans hold the majority, no one and nothing is safe. Unless it is billionaires.

Shut down killed our business [….]

Why the theatrics?

Hey farmers in the 4th—Mark Alford just took away money from the Farm Bureau because President Musk said you have to suffer. There you go farmers–MARK ALFORD JUST TOLD YOU TO FUCK OFF. Alford only cares about what President Musk wants.

Eight people in the room between your tv clown shows.
You are an absolute embarrassment. You can stand up there and lie all you want. Your so called party is in shambles. Trump is answering to Musk and you are on tv all the time.

Trump sucker Mark

BS President Musk shutdown

Congressman Mark Alford. Democratic shutdown? My ass. You are a very small man telling vrey big lies. Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire. [….]

Actually, it is very, very clear, and has played out on the airwaves, (just like Jan 6th did) showing the entire country exactly who is to blame for this – and this rests completely on the GOP. It’s another shining example of the fact the Republican Party simply cannot govern.

Alford speaks. Hilarity ensues.

But, wait, there’s more:

Congressman Mark Alford
[December 19, 2024]
A picture is worth a thousand words. Today, I proudly voted for President President’s [sic] version of the continuing resolution (CR). This bill keeps the government running, addresses the debt ceiling, extends critical provisions of the Farm Bill, and delivers much-needed disaster relief for our farmers.
For too long, Washington has been plagued by reckless spending and broken promises. President Trump is already proving his commitment to restoring fiscal responsibility and putting the needs of everyday Americans first. This CR is a lifeline for our farmers, who have endured devastating natural disasters and four years of hardship under Biden’s policies.
We stand with President Trump in his fight to end business as usual and ensure that hardworking Americans can thrive in the face of adversity. Together, we’re working to secure a stronger future for our nation.

More responses:

President President’s version of the CR??? So the president has a president.
Looks like you are acknowledging Musk.
It’s become quite obvious, Trump is not going to be in charge. You lied to everyone. You did it again.
How many tv spots do you have lined up for tomorrow????

You like to reference “We”. Are you referring to to the house majority that didn’t pass it?

Good boy per President Musk

Correct me if I’m wrong. This bill did not pass the house correct? The house is Republican majority, correct? How is this a Democrat problem?

Alford never fails to embarrass

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

“President President”??? Is that Elon Musk’s new name?
Reckless spending like $1600 for water? $120k for office rent in your district? $55k to host Zoom meetings?
