The upper chamber adjourned until Sept. 14 without passing the Safeguard America Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, a cryptocurrency bill or a third reconciliation package.

I often think we’d be better off if they took a permanent vacation.

While the RNC continues to hit us up for money in the name of passing the SAVE Act.

What a bunch of cynical pricks.

No. They only thrive because we keep voting for them like the morons we are. They are "better than" the left, or some such drivel. One man gets my vote this year, Victor Marx for governor of Calirado. The rest can suck an egg.

The Senate won’t force formal votes on anything controversial because they don’t want it to be recorded. They are not on our side.

It's been established for some time the GOP is in it for the money, and the democrats are in it for the power. Which is why Republicans are content to let democrats have the gavel.

The GOP is not interested in governing, only in padding bank accounts with campaign donations (bribes), lobbyist money (more bribes), and insider trading through proxies. Sure, there are a few exceptions, but not enough to matter in the slightest.

Over paid, over privileged and over arrogant!

But, they are only half the problem. It’s those of us who keep re-electing them that is the other half.

Yeah, that co equal branch of government kind of sucks. But the founders decided that was the best way to go about it until we have a constitutional convention, it’s likely to stay.

How in hell can any American in public office be willing to vote NO on the SAVE Act? This is a perversity which just boggles the mind. Even Chile and Argentina have more secure elections than we do.

“The GOP is not interested in governing”

Sadly true. They’re just in it for the pay, perks, prestige and profits.
