Utterly unconstitutionally raises the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025...

No, the article's wrong. The minimum wage got dropped from the bill.

The Georgia runoff was predetermined on November 3rd. The big steal targeted Georgia especially for the reason that they could have the Presidency and the Senate at once. Too juicy to resist. Did you think that there were enough Republicans to overcome the cheat machine? I laugh.

But...but...Fauci says we'll have a new surge of cases next Fall and will have to wear triple masks and lock ourselves down for a few more years!!

Sullivan was attending the funeral of his father-in-law.

You’re right, it is easy to say from my computer. Just like everyone else on here and other comment boards.

But, to answer your question, I think the first step is supporting and voting for these clowns. Starting with the local level. Where I live the old mayor was bragging about all the development and investment he was bring in, look right here in my right hand, while no one was paying attention to what his left hand was doing. And it’s all starting to come home to roost.

The next response will be....a lousy Republican is better than a Democrat. Probably right. But if that Republican is Linda Graham, Thune, McConnell, Alexander, Romney, Cheney, Kinzinger, from now on, I’m staying home. I voted for Perdue and Loeffler. Won’t happen again.

The other day Toomey said that President Trump CAN’T run again and that he was the reason that Republican’s lost the Senate and White House. Really? What other Republican in the history of Republican’s had thousands and thousands of people supporting him the way they supported President Trump? Toomey has been a Never Trump clown from the word GO. As usual, he’s the lesser of two evils, like so many others. And that is a problem we, generally speaking, have created. Allowing a shyster like Graham to get re-elected. All these people rode the President’s coattails to get sent back and then turned their backs on him, like the frauds and cowards that they are.

Is anyone in Nebraska making a concerted effort to get rid of Sasse? Don’t know. Or is it, we’ll get rid of him in 6 years.

Could I try to start something? Probably. Would it get anywhere? Nope. I’m a nobody. An anonymous guy, paying his taxes to these corrupt SOBs that could care less about me, you or anyone else.

The one person that did, was run out of town by all of them.

Condolences to his family. Since there were no Democrat defections his absence didn’t make a difference anyway.

Or send out a letter to those with direct deposits like Trump did?

“We” are not letting it happen.

“Leftists” are letting it happen.

There are time when well meaning people have no control whatsoever.

Right now, “we” don’t.

This is all on them.

It’s also on the RINOs that dominate the Republican Party, and
have for decades.

As I said, “Leftists”.

Some of these RINOs have fellow travelers that don’t match our
version of compliance with the U. S. Constitution.
