They work from 12-2 two days a week and we're making it VERY difficult for them to govern!

Plus they’re (d)emocrats....
Trump should excommunicate The Turtle.
It’s hard to say they’re wrong - just look who we voted for, time after time.

FUMM
Gee...all my relevants in Noth Karalina look lahk an outtake from Deliverance. Hell, the movie was shot in the hollers we all settled 270 years ago.

The war is over. The only question is how many more Ukrainians have to die before the clouds of war recede.
We are just pissing that money away.
It’s not our war.
“It’s hard to say they’re wrong - just look who we voted for, time after time.”
Ouch. The hard smack of reality.
“Our base cannot possibly know what’s at stake at the level that any well-briefed U.S. senator should know about what’s at stake if Putin wins,”
So make your case to The People, and let them decide.
Is Mitch involved or is he sitting in his office with a blank stare ?
I’m sick and tired of funding a useless war...of tolerating an open border supported by the uniparty. So how does this make me stupid?
What are they going say when the terrorist attacks start in the USA as predicted by the FBI?
This is the government our Founders warned us about.
As I see it, democrats and RINOs are doing more harm to our nation than Russia.
I'm sorry, when was a declaration of war by the US on Russia made, if it is that dire?
They are saying Johnson has an uphill battle to spliy the bill.....doesn’t he have the option of not even putting it on the house floor for a vote?
