I cannot continue to be sold bs on how the government is elected to serve us the American people it's a joke at this point if you continue to believe in this system we pay for the police and Military the very institutions that will be used on you if you dont like it slaves

Good.

Democrats can never seem to get anything accomplished. The republicans are so well organized, they were able to come together and try to overthrow the government.

THIS is why they haven't said much about what's actually in the bill. It's almost entirely a big giveaway to the already wealthy. If Joe Biden is what a Democrat is, I never was one.

Why stick to campaign promises now that you are in office.....

Because, of course they would. :(

This is why we can’t have nice things

USA constantly claims it is the best at everything but continually does things which prove the claim is bs and move in the opposite direction... yes right as America is falling even more behind on average education is when we don't invest.. lol

When did education and children end up at the bottom?

Kinda sad, and revealing,. The usa falls further behind compared to other 1st world nations on basic education and lucrative opp to create jobs in climate sector AND help planet. America CHOOSES to be last on so many things, CHOOSES to be dumb over and over

The dems could have made history. They botched it. The midterms won’t even be close. People have the short term memory of fruit flies and some will welcome the republicans back with open arms. The others won’t vote because why, after this debacle? 🤷‍♂️

Have fun at the mid-terms, I guess.

Thanks to Sen_JoeManchin kyrstensinema

Trump sets up huge legal fight to keep White House records secretTrump's lawyers said a request by the congressional January 6 committee for records linked to the insurrection were 'invalid' under the Constitution. For an innocent, transparent, stable genius with great and unmatched wisdom, and nothing to hide, Donald spends an inordinate amount of time, money, and energy trying to keep things hidden. Odd, too, the material he's fighting to keep hidden would actually prove his innocence. Actually the constitution doesn’t give a former President powers to invoke privileges he doesn’t have. You are the “former” President, not the POTUS. Trump was still president, therefore the records request is absolutely valid.
