Hopefully Rand makes an appearance to shame them, at the very least.

The Uniparty rides in to Biden’s rescue.

Time for the Patriot Party. Screw the GOP.

I knew they had more than enough Assistant Democrats to assist the Democrats.

And am I correct when I saw that the House has already added the additional $3,000,000,0000+ to the Senate bill?

Because everyone is afraid to take a chance on someone else. And because the state GOPs do their level best to obstruct anyone from challenging the incumbents.

Every election, someone/something, the state GOPs, make a giant sh*t sandwich. And we all ha e to hold out nose and take a bite. And they know it.

What’s the standard line? If you don’t vote for so&so, the democrat will win When we get past that and take a chance on someone else, we might start changing some things. Maybe.

For me, I’m done voting for the lesser of two evils. The Dem wins, they win

"GOPs do their level best to obstruct anyone from challenging the incumbents."

Rescinding the 17th. is more important now then it ever been ... We desperately need to find someway to break up this mess DC has become...

I think it would definitively help. That’s for sure. If it were gone, Republicans would solidly be in the 60s.

And there would be a bit more accountability to who they are and what they’re doing.

Both GOP senators from NC voted for this insane spending bill. They are enablers of the destruction of the US. The only Republican politician in NC worth voting for is our Lt. Governor Mark Robinson.

If America didn’t die on 1/6/21, it sure did today. The “Infrastructure Bill” implements the Commie Green agenda. We will have to pay for the use of our own vehicles by the mile, and a Government Box in the vehicle will keep track of it. I’m sure there’s all kind of commie crap in that bill. AMERICA, AS YOU HAVE KNOWN IT, IS GONE. Get ready for something else.

Yes, rescind the 17th, but don’t look for Congress (which includes the US Senate) to ever do that.

Originally, as some people here may not know, the US Senate represented the States (you know, the United STATES of America). The state legislatures elected the senators.

Then the 17th Amendment was allegedly ratified and senators were elected by popular vote by the people and became glorified representatives.

Then big money bought whatever senators it wanted to buy. And it bought up all of them. Occasionally one goes off script here and there, but the uniparty can count on almost all of them to line up and vote for what big money wants on the truly important votes.
