United States Headlines News

United States Latest News, United States Headlines

Rep. Chip Roy listens during a House Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Subcommittee hearing on confronting white supremacy on May 15.

“I’m not saying we haven’t done anything. We have confirmed some very important nominees to the Trump administration, long overdue,” Kennedy said. “I’m saying we need to do more.” And speaking of House Republicans, on Friday a lone Republican House member, Rep. Chip Roy blocked a carefully crafted compromise on disaster relief. Disaster relief. The Post reports:

Let’s put aside the fact that Republicans, in large part due to the tax cuts, have run up the debt. This is a stunt, pure and simple, that punishes victims of natural disasters:

Absolutely! Republicans don't Do their duty or job! They are up there getting paid to do nothing!

If you hate America so much, you should leave.

The GOP runs on a platform that that the government is ineffective and incompetent. Once elected, they make certain our government is ineffective and incompetent.

They are old and hateful enough.

Sounds reasonable to me!

Like saying, 'America. Love it or leave it.' Nobody is happy w/ compromise but it's necessary.

That’s a great idea! And if y’all don’t like the 2nd Amendment, you should leave too! Seriously, without the Republicans we would be as happy as a mid 70’s Russian. No thanks

Thats not how that works

The point of this Republic was to have government governing less and allow the people self-govern. However, Democrats want to rule and govenrn citizens so this jack assery in print doesn’t surprise me.

Another BS story

That might be what the dems should do

Being governed by those that don't want to govern being governed by those that want to govern.

THEY HATE GOOD GOVERNMENT, THEY WANT A REPUBLICAN DICTATORSHIP AND ALL THE POWER! THEY MUST BE DEFLATED AND DEFEATED! IMPEACH TRUMP NOW, LOCK HIM UP LATER!

Counterpoint: If Democrats hate America so much they should leave

Another wapo opinion coming in.

They aren’t gonna leave that’s why they have turned a blind eye to trumps wrong doing bec they only care about their careers their futures and their bank accounts they obviously don’t care about the government bec this would have been going on this long with trump in there

Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. CriminalGOP Profiteers MoneyWhores PutinWhores Scumbags

Republicans DO NOT hate government but hate to where the left/media are trying to go! On Trump’s watch with everything else going on!

Lol if TheDemocrats like democracy so much; they sure want a government where only they are in control of it. Where they abolish all other parties and where anyone who disagrees with them should be silenced. That’s not liberalism, or democracy but totalitarianism.

can't leave Can't let the Socialist clown party run the country got to try to defeat those fools they hate America

Well said. GOP Senators need to be voted out. Particularly McConnell who blocks everything. They only want power. They accomplish nothing for the people so yes. Fire them

Why do you call Jennifer Rubin a 'conservative'?

That's not an opinion, that's a fact.

BE THEM SO...... ITS NOT AN OPTION ,ONLY QUESTION...WHERETO THEM REPUBLICANS.

The issue you’re avoiding is corruption. With the fake dossier your rag is protecting sends a message that you guys are willing to swim in slim like the democrats.

If democrats hate the president so much they should leave

.Ditto!!

Yes, plz do leave and stay out of politics. Thank you.

It’s a good gig if you can get it. 💰

Move on. Move out.

It is clear the government desired by the Rs is not a democratic government, not a republic. They wish and work for an autocracy.

BretFoltz1 Grifters all of them. Easy buck for doing nothing for their country but a way to line their pockets $

Jordan can't govern.

They do not hate government just certain people and that is just too dang bad.

There's the Washington compost with their opinions again they never have any news real fact-based news only opinions which makes it a propaganda rag

They don't hate governING. That's the point. They are hypocrites who do mot want to be governED while using the government to try and control OTHERS. GOPHypocrisy TypicalGOP NoTruePrinciples

Not even worth a comment

Wow.... really?

En Honduras, nos cuesta sacar un gobierno corrupto. Pero, no es lógico que en Estados Unidos No puedan sacar, sacudirse A un gobierno injusto, mentiroso y de abuso de poder Ademas de poner en peligro la paz mundial Sin tener en cuenta el tema del cambio climático, que urge

If they did we would see a lot more of this.

They can’t govern either.

And leave it for you? Ha!

Amen!

GOP in government is welfare for white guys who hate working.

Great take,

The Post still on the long lonely road to rock bottom.

We are all dumber after reading this

Is the opposite true? If you want more government, is that 'loving government'?

The NRA/Koch/Mercer... owned Congressional Republicans have mastered government. Thanks to the efforts of Fox and other MSM news outlets, we have a gullible,uneducated and ridiculously outraged voting base. Perfect for the GOP machine. Hats off to the alpha evil.

TermLimitsNOW FairMaps CLEAN House & Senate ParasitesSUCK 👎

No Democrats should leave the government because they are dumb Jackass’s

As opposed to if Democrats hate America so much they should leave. Such specious arguments.

Their sole purpose...

They really should those greedy rape defending monsters!

Straw Man Fallacy - government doesn’t HATE governing

They are never there anyway

What a dumb opinion writer. Very uninformed, but then again it is the WP. Real Republicans believe in Limited government. Not a over blown government with massive waste of money. No subsidies, no giving people benefits who don’t deserve them. It’s called common sense,

... democrats control the house?

I agree. Leave and send someone who will work with the other side.

Wrong way.. dems are losing. Theh do nothing and are all gone in 2020

They hate government figuring out how they get money and/or sex. There is a drastic difference.

8s Lol! That not how that works.

The dims did. If they would have kept their lazy behinds there and had a full vote it wouldn't have happened! KeepAmericaGreat MAGA

Right

They don't like government but they love power.

😂

They've become to represent big business, a destruction of democracy and safe clean 🌎. People are not important only their special interest. If this doesn't bring people out in great protest, don't ever ask how did Hitler get in?

The crowd in there now needs to leave regardless.

Who writes for you anymore HS Sophomores? Weak journalism

If communist love communism so much they should go to a country that has it.

Hating, criticizing and mocking their duly elected peers is wrong.

WaPo wpuld love to turn this country into a liberal fascist state.

If Dems hate the Constitution so much they should leave!

Agree... the Republicans should leave government... definitely more than 50% of Americans agree... 100% fromoverseas

Wobbledance1 They love power money. greedybastards

It’s obvious they’re not serious about governing at this point. Power for themselves is all they want. By any means necessary.

Yeah, why be part of something you hate and try to make worse?

Scooter_PSU Leave for North Korea or Russia.

Pretty dysfunctional to have a party who’s platform is based on sabotaging every aspect of government.

Limited government So that Democrat's can't whole sale the country..

Didn’t you have a misprint. Republicans producing for all races in America. List what Democrats & Resistance delivers.

Same for Democrates. But mostly same for opinion which is just not news.

You are wrong all along as usual.Conservatives don’t government,we hate big and out of control government.

What is this, grade school?! If liberals hate America so much they should leave.

And let the Dems take over and make the government even bigger? I don’t think so, nice try

It;s the Democrats who hate the government and the Constitution, they can leave now. The Democrats wanted to sneak in extra spending with no debate and get on with their vacations.

Praise to Rep. ROY, for saving AMERICA from Pelosi’s antics. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Nice try Soros puppet

Yes.

If socialists hate America so much they should leave.

Opinion. This statement makes no sense.

Opinion: Republicans hate government so much they are actually trying to make a change for the good of the people.

If dems hate America so much they should leave

As always JRubinBlogger on fire!

👏! Farm welfare? Tax breaks for millionaires, controlling society to protect their families futures. i.e courts, laws etc., mixing church and state, controlling women’s bodies, control, that’s why they are in government.

MorganAuCourant 💯

😂😂😂 replace republicans with democrats and this country would have it made,add the rinos in there too. Libs are so oppressed they can't see the dems have kept them that way for decades to guarantee their votes.

This is what he wants to be remembered for!

They must be making too much money on the side.

They don’t. They love there county!!! alwaysnegitive

DebraMessing

How come you never talk about the fake Russian Hoax and the people involved like the entire Obama administration

They don't hate government, they embrace it in a way that makes them feel superior to other political parties. They manipulate government to make themselves appear relevant.

olgaNYC1211 This is why only corrupt self-serving hippocrates are attracted to run for GOP in political races.

Wiki Trump !! Wiki Trump !! Wiki Trump !!

Lastmedic Free Assange !! Let's Wiki Donald Trump !!

Again your rag is off base. Republicans don’t hate government, what they hate is our freedoms controlled by government.

Wait until someone holds up funding for the next Texas disaster.

this way please....

They need to EARN their $ . I don’t make big $ or get free healthcare. They need to take a pay cut which could help fund healthcare , infrastructure and numerous other things for the American people..,.just saying

What an absolute waste of space Rubin has turned out to be.

But like petulant children they believe if they don’t want it no one else can have it either.

Government works when we elect people who want it to work. Vote for Democrats.

Ohh just stop. It doesnt mean you hate government if you believe in limited government.

Idiot!

I've never understood why people who hate government so much are so desperate to run it.

Republicans hate governing. Democrats hate America. I know which one I'd choose.

-rolls eyes-

Republicans only run for office to make government ineffective and impotent

Objective Fact: WaPo can’t even set up straw men well

Bs. We don’t hate government. We believe in limited government...like the founding fathers. It is the Leftists that should leave, and move to Socialist countries...maybe China...see how well they fair there...

No we should shrink the size of government. The WAPO idea is to have giverment no government

GOPhatesOurGovernment

I knew who wrote this as soon as I saw the headline.

Nope, they are here to protect America against the communist left.

You actually have a point.

They don’t want to govern; they want to rule.

and We The People should help them as much as possible reach that goal.

🤣🤣🤣

olgaNYC1211 LOL. It's not that we hate government. It's that we love liberty. Government and liberty are mutually exclusive choices.

A classmate from my high school is a STAUNCH conservative. He works for the Fed Gov, & constantly complains on social media about evils of big govt. One day I wrote to him, explained if he quit his job, he would reduce the federal workforce by one. For once, he was speechless.

If democrats love power over people so much they shouodnt be in government.

They don’t hate government. Republicans have people in strategic place so they can be in power. They won’t voluntarily leave their positions and lose their power.

Republicans don't hate Government Democrat's want a Government other than the One OUR Forefathers Designed in Our Constitution There's a BIG difference

That’s right we should allow the enlightened elitists run all aspects the lives of the poor unwashed masses. Individual freedom is an overrated right.

What ended the republican party was letting in the tea party. They are not statesman they are protesters. They have betrayed their oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and their constituents. They are conspiracy theorist.

They should at least forgo the salary.

DebraMessing Hope the post gose out of business soon.

'Government at its best is a necessary evil.' Paine

Republicans don't hate government. They hate democratic (and Democratic) government that is responsive to the needs of the average or underprivileged person.

Agreed

Before that WaPo needs to shut itself down

Do you know how fast our freedoms would disappear?

Although this ONE representative is wrong your take asinine. If you are for limited government you have to be in DC not sit by passively as it expands unchecked

Is this some sort of ridiculous joke I am not getting?

I agree, the NaziCons need to get the fuck out!

I wish they would but you can't graft and commit criminal act's from a distance you have to swim in the swamp.

If Black Lives Matter activist hate America so much, they should leave. Same goes to liberals, Linda Sarsour, most campus left, Noam Chomsky, and others.

It’s clear the gop can’t governso they should refuse pay. They are good at obstructing

DebraMessing President Trump is pretty good at that governing thing.

A+

Ha ha ha ha ...

They aren't gonna leave.

Can't leave the bunker with Berlin on fire and the Soviets closing in all around. You fight ferociously to the bitter end. You know your crimes. You know what revenge is due. Enjoy the war. The peace will be hell.

And we are paying these haters to rule against our interests. How crazy is that? WAKE UP AMERICA VOTE BLUE STRAIGHT TICKET

If people also vote as if government is the problem, they should just mobilize to create an anarchy. If no problems are better, you get rid of what you think is the problem. Sadly, such voters are so dumb they fail to admit how much they love government.

Democracy Dies in WaPo Dogsh*t

Democracy dies in Darkness realDonaldTrump IvankaTrump Government is going towards down...

Stolen opinion

And leave it up to the liberals! Not a chance, the country would be overrun within days.

If only...

Friend of mine tells people who complain how dysfunctional D.C. is to stop sending nihilistic asinine people to do the job they obviously don't care about

They don't 'hate' Gov't per say. They hate but the ppl it ought 2 work for... the oppress, poor & weak unless it 1 of them

No, Democrats should leave, you almost got it right. 700club cbngordon randpaul realDonaldTrump kennedynation foxnews sandrasmithfox marklevinshow rushlimbaugh danarohrabacher jaysekulow judgenap tedcruz dbongino

By that logic if you hate America you should leave the country. When is everyone employed at the richest man's hobby leaving the country?

Yeah, not until you crooked politicians are out of there. Drain the swamp. Make America great again

Exactly! They are killing each other and all competition to BE the government!

If Democrats love government so much they should pay for it themselves

Dumbest idea ever

Who wrote this article? A 10 year old?

Once they disassemble it, I would agree.

So whiny

Another 'fake news' piece by another 'Never Trumper'. Boring

It’s kind of weird, because I believe I’ve been hearing leftists talk about how horrible America is for the last 10 years, so...

On a personal note, besides the infrastructure bill, I am quite happy with the do-nothing Congress. That means lower deficits, less encroachments on liberty, and fewer regulations and taxes.

Republicans are the government's enemy.

So, you call what the Democrats are doing governing?

Hi Jen Have you tried Zoloft? I hear it helps.

Opinion | It’s time for Republican women to speak up for reproductive rightsI work in the Trump administration. The fight for global gender equality needs Republican women on its side. Who cares? Not supporting abortion is not that big of a deal. Supporting abortion is not that big of a deal. You can think abortion is wrong and you can think restricting abortion is wrong. Calm down. The media turns abortion into a zombie apocalypse scenario. There is nothing reproductive about abortion. Abortion is termination. Republican women (largely wealthy and white) do have abortions. They just want to stop others from having them. Republican pols have paid for their mistresses abortions. Disingenuous. Keep it SaveLegalRare If they really want to stop abortion, they'd support free birth control.
