While Liz is spot on, the uniparty (made up of the GOPe and the democRATS) don’t want to advance Trump’s/our agenda.

Liz is delusional and has no idea what the GOP is really all about.

LEGISLATORS have turned CONGRESS and STATEHOUSES into an elite country club and running the government a SCAM. They are elected to do the will of the people. Instead, they give themselves perks, immunity from wrongdoing, and party, party, party. DISGUSTING.

The GOP stands a good chance of loosing both houses and the presidency within four years if they don’t get off of their lazy asses and act like a real party.

I only get two weeks of vacation a year, that’s all any elected representative should get. Period.

Come on be nice, we have the best government that money and influence can buy!

Note today that Biden got some kind of $60MM book deal. When was the last time some conservative got that kind of deal. See, this is the pay out. Do the lefts bidding and get lucrative book and appearance deals in addition to your privilege position while representing the peons.

Recall McConnell telling us that there would be no tax change this year? Trump said there would be. Notice what is planned, none. Ryno allegedly had a replace the ACA bill waiting to go, of course, no one saw it except his RINO cohorts. That blew up also and he tried to lay it off on Trump who got suckered into supporting it. Note the little weasel has not been seen or heard from since.

Aside from a new form of elected government here, I see no hope. We win a few skurmishes around the edges but any battle to get to the heart of the enemy is never successful.

They truly are clueless and unaware of the frustration that is so prevalent in flyover country!

The ‘Will of the People’ be *DAMNED*. We’ve got 50.x% free-loaders and prob. more whom think Socialism is the way to go.

Personally, I want the shiftless bastards in recess MORE often; it’s the only time our property and Rights are not in jeopardy.

*IF* we were still a Constitutional Republic, there is no need for that amount of time required for their Lawful duties, IMO.
