    Some Democrat should troll him and suggest an amendment prohibiting any money to go to pay for anything related to the office of Rep. Collins.

    I don't think this is accurate. This happened in Ohio, but not the others.

    Yes, they have different policy priorities than Democrats. Still terrible, but differently terrible.
    I'm assuming nothing of the sort. If they don't pass new spending, there is no new discretionary spending. It doesn't carry over from what was passed before. The revenue keeps coming in as taxes are still collected, fees are still charged, payments are still received, etc. As to the debt ceiling, they can allocate in which order things are paid, prioritizing debt service first. As spending items expire, that becomes less of an issue.
    The IRS would become largely unnecessary as the federal government was radically reduced. The economy would bounce back from government spending going away as people would soon have more money in their pocket to drive the economy through free trade. The economy was booming in the late 19th and early 20th century when government spending and taxation were miniscule compared to what they are today. Private enterprise drove the economy. Even today, you can look at markets in illegal goods in the United States and see that business is booming without any regulatory oversight (beyond trying to arrest everyone) or government spending. There is a thriving market in fentanyl, for example. My goal is to reduce the federal government to what it was initially supposed to be, a defender of the homeland and arbiter of disputes between the states.

    Scott quoted bible versus and said we should bomb Iran
    Desantis may or may not have been wearing inserts
    Haley had on 5 inch heels and we learned she can use them as a weapon
    Viv made some silly remarks, asked the gop chairwoman to quit and called the moderators idiots and wanted stucker, rogaine and munsk to moderate
    Christi actually made some great points

    None of them will win, they are all playing for second place, but Viv is winning in the competition as trumps biggest ass kisser and Scott should be the next to drop out, he was DOA from the start

    I think the only metric of success is outliving the president.

    Imagine Trump actually winning, then a year later dropping dead from a heart attack with a stomach full of Big Macs and fries, and finding out Tucker Carlson is now the President.
