This just in: There is a difference between saying something and doing something. This is not to say either is good or bad; they’re just not the same.

Republican: “We support our troops” then vote to not give veterans healthcare. Note, this bill has been supported by Republicans in the past but they now oppose it because the Democrats brought it up.

Republicans: “We support our police” then celebrate the attack on Capital police who we just doing their jobs on January 6th.

Republicans: “We are Constitutionalists” then work tirelessly to make sure they can overturn elections that result in non-Republicans being elected.

Republicans: “This tax bill will enable you to fill out your taxes on a post card,” then pass a tax bill that does nothing other than cut taxes for the very rich and explodes the national debt.

Republicans: “We need to let the people choose the next Supreme court justice so we will wait several months until after the 2016 election,” then rushed Brett Kavanna’s appointment through before the FBI can follow-up on several accusations.

Republicans: “We will not rest until this gun violence ends,” then sends thoughts and prayers as a proven ineffective solution.

Republicans: “Joe Biden is to blame for high gas prices” all the while knowing that in a capitalist economy, the government does not control prices or production.

Up, up and away.
