Here is a good one.

The $886 billion package, compromise legislation agreed to by negotiators from the Republican-led House and Democratic-led Senate, strips away a number of contentious provisions — such as restricting U.S. service members’ access to abortion — that hard-right lawmakers had rammed into the lower chamber’s bill despite withering complaints from members of both parties.

If it passes, as appears likely, the outcome will symbolize a defeat for the GOP’s raucous right flank. Already, some of the party’s most outspoken figures — including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a firebrand who advocated some of the most divisive proposals — have denounced the final product as a “total sell-out of conservative principles.”

In a video posted this week to X, formerly known as Twitter, Greene declared herself a “flat-out no” when it comes time to vote: “I think it’s outrageous that this happened with our Republican controlled Congress.
No Marge, just the House and barely at that. Guess she has not been told that the Freedumb Caucus which kicked her out has caved on all budget matters.

Defense policy bill stripped of most GOP culture war demands

So the Freedum caucus is deciding what "conservative principles" are these days?

Not their fault, the mainstream media has labeled them conservatives and in some cases "ultra conservatives". We know them as ultra MAGA like Jesus Johnson the Speaker.

The Cruelty Is the Point

Fighting for their lives: Women and the impact of abortion restrictions in post-Roe America
Women had to wait until they were sick enough to get care in their home states.

In Whell's World, this is somehow a "good" thing. Barefoot and pregnant, right, Whell?

Well Chicks, you know what the evangelicals say. "It's what God's planned".

Me personally I might prefer the perverts to the hypocrites (shrug).
