Vice President Kamala Harris cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate early Friday morning, confirming passage of President Joe Biden’s massive $1.9 trillions coronavirus relief plan.

I don’t mean civil war in the normal sense. We’ve been in a “cold” civil war for over a decade. I’m talking about a lot more Kyle Rittenhouse events, and maybe even quite a few Timothy Mcveigh events.

As people are silenced all over the world, they will not sit idly by because, honestly, they no longer have anything to lose. This also very much is colored by my beliefs that resulted in my tag line. It’s like a perfect storm coming.

Wait till these 16 year old kids grow up and have to deal with the unsustainable debt which will swamp the budget.

I would urge you to trust in our military. The only sector of our govt that is not corrupt. No way in hades do they let our country fall to a communist coup. Not in a million years.

I don’t think it will be that simple. But we’ll see.

So the democrats had a chance to defend the dollar or prop up the billionaire class.

They chose the billionaire class.

Seems to tie in to the news that China is pushing hard for an international digital currency. With the SWIFT joint venture with China, that could become a reality to knock the greenback to the curb in worldwide transactions. It will not happen overnight, but at the rate the US government is going willy-nilly with no ideas other than plastering over the leaking dam, it will happen.

China Joe and his cohorts in the US government both left and right seem ok with this.

The article says they passed (on a voice vote) a prohibition against raising the minimum wage “during a pandemic”?

Not sure what that means? They wait until later this year? Or, whenever Sleepy Joe declares “Victory” over Covid?

Please stop this nonsense.

I wish Freepers would grow the hell up and get their heads out of their collective @sses.

It can be reversed if just ONE patriotic Republican Senator challenges Harris for her lack of Natural Born Citizen (NBC) status, as defined by the Senate. In 2007 the Senate passed Resolution 511 that declared John McCain a Natural Born Citizen born of ‘American citizen parents ...’. Where he was born was immaterial.

Harris’ parents were foreign visitors here on passports issued by the countries to whose jurisdiction they were subject to. So there is no way in he[[ she is NBC!

Ask yourself why you want to “stop this nonsense”. The only nonsense going on is a bunch of people so brainwashed by CNN and Fox News that they view a shaky Alzheimer’s patient signing 48 ridiculous EO’s as perfectly rational but the thought that a patriotic professional military refusing to report to him is nonsense.

Seriously I’m just trying to stop the nonsense.

The U.S. military is filled with people who will do whatever they are told. I don't know why you refuse to accept this.

Your government is not your friend. That goes for all elements of it -- including the military and the police.

We have lost, completely.

The most important things we have lost are millions of young people who have had their minds corrupted by liberal teachers in the colleges and public schools.

These young victims truly believe so much that isn't true. No wonder so many of them are contemplating suicide.

"...I’m hearing that they don’t want to openly announce until a majority of people will accept it....."

I enjoy your enthusiasm, but tell me: Where are you "hearing" this...?

Any sources you can share?
