Popular Post Eric Loh Posted October 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2023 11 hours ago, Jingthing said: Whatever happened to wanting to govern? The magadonians in congress are pathetic! Governing!! LOL. The first agenda of the interim speaker was a petty act of eviction followed by a declaration of 7 days holiday. Governing can wait while the GOP take a 7 days vacation. Pathetic beyond any explanation and logic and they are paid for their holidays by tax payers. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanaguma Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Jesus Christ. $31 trillion in debt and this is the first thing to do?!? I am getting beyond frustrated with these morons. Good ideas, terrible governing. In a week when Biden was self immolating in the polls, tools like Gaetz manage to wrest the spotlight away and set his own hair on fire. I wouldnt blame the democrats one bit for just sitting back, getting some popcorn, and enjoying the show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay less attention to those polls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they cause Congress to be evacuated and or delay any aspect of election certification? You resort to false equivalence because you have nothing else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q What's the difference between a riot and a peaceful demonstration? A which side is doing the rioting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
