    1. We don’t need Trump. He welched on all his important campaign pledges. Like Biden did, come to think of it. DeSantis seems to have the political chops Trump lacks, but he’s not very charismatic.

      Not that it matters. The US is finished.

  1. According to game theory you could never be the cheater and someone who is willing to bend and break the rules. So stop trying to play with them

  2. He’s gonna be struggling until He does something with Munchkin and Semena…… Apparently the President has to break out of that we can all work together idea which the the GOPQ now lives by..You have the numbers put the V.P. on speed. dial and roll over their butt….The GOPQ would dam sure do it to you…

    1. The only paths forward are division or cooperation. You can’t just eliminate the effective representation for half the country and impose your will on them. It doesn’t work that way and it will certainly have a bad outcome.

    2. I like your humor and at the same time is so condemning of the political myopic and defeatist on the people’s side. It is dystopic and absurd the level of betrayal to principles of courage and moral backbone.

    3. @Super Scary Russian Bot and what do you think signifies what the GOP is doing actually with the help of corporate democrats ??? You mean that at all cost you are going to convince a criminal to undo the crime. To safely put it. Please grow a backbone and learn from McConnell. He wouldn’t hesitate as he didn’t ever when needed. Biden and the democrats play by the rules the GOP always break when in position to exercise power grab absolutely always. Don’t you have history memory??

  3. Chip Roy was on camera talking about how the GOP plans to create chaos and delay Biden’s agenda for the next 18 months

    1. You’re children will thank them for that someday….after they realize their mother sold them into an Orwellian nightmare.

    2. That shouldn’t surprise anyone. I would think nearly all Republican voters would want exactly that.

    3. @Super Scary Russian Bot
      Republican voters are insurrectionists, so their desires are irrelevant.

  4. I’m not interested or impressed how politically incorrect societies have become. Worry about your own families and stop acting like being Protestant is the best religion to be in. Politics and economics do not mix at all. If there was a more humanitarian driven president in office then real change could occur based on all the giving and care. Not money laundering and false promises of a eutopian future. Sorry, but that’s not my president.

  5. This is the real Democratic Party with a slim majority they are spineless incompetent and incapable of passing ANYTHING or getting anyone on the FCC Board! Getting someone on the USPS board and getting it repaired! Incompetent on taxing the 1%! They sure do spout feel good nonessential BS! How about passing a law where mega charities actually have to help people? Instead of stock piling cash and paying massive CEO salaries while paying wage slave wages to it employees.

  6. At the same time Trumpers a.k.a Republicans are having no trouble at all blocking his every move. Look for them to try to convince voters at the next mid- term and General Election that the Biden Admin. should be replaced because they have nothing to show. The fact of the matter is that they ” Republicans” are the reason for this and the solution is for Voters to give Biden a Solid / overwhelming mandate, if not a working one , so that he can get things done for the American people without having to rely on Republican cooperation.

  7. STOP being a politician then Biden and do the right thing stop talking and put more action.

  8. US ANTIQUE INFRASTRUCTURE: “The eyes of history are on this appointment.” – Buttigeig.
    1964 Japan’s first bullet trains were put in service and the the first Beatles album was released.
    1998 China started the construction of 36,000km of high speed railways and high speed trains.
    2021 US still has NO high speed trains and NO safe overpasses or apartment blocks.

    1. @George Furman, have you ever heard of the Millennium Tower? It was built in the most heavily regulated area on Earth.

    2. @Super Scary Russian Bot obviously you like science not so scientific fiction.. Let’s see what is in your mind. I imagine but I’ll give you the credit to say it. Comrade. Jajajiji!!

    3. @Super Scary Russian Bot yes you do. It is not hard to understand. I play it easy. It is irrelevant the country I could come from. But to give you a clue. It is the country of the bacanora. The first country to give help to the Russian people when the revolution of 1917 caused the assault of the world’s armies to try to crush the Russian people audacity to depose zarism.

    1. He sees himself as a pastor of a church and neutralizer of the working class. He knows. He is experienced enough to comprehend the consequences and nature of what the GOP is doing. The sad part is that he thinks he has all the time in the future. Idiotic of course.
      The GOP is in the process of installing the basis for a legal coup and to impose a totalitarian regime and the democrats think they have all the time in the world. It is absurd and sad.

    2. @stephanie hummel parrots exist . I know your feathers are green. Parroting lies is not good. Learn to think.

    3. @George Furman parrots don’t only have green feathers silly. You need to educate yourself on parrots. 😄

  9. C’mon man, Joe Biden is cognitive deficient and incapable of making just one coherent sentence let alone running the country.

    1. @stephanie hummel well, I’m waiting for your response, maybe you should ask your grandchildren.

    2. @Fred Gonzalez Somehow this exhibits that “Biden is incapable of making just one coherent sentence”? You just repeated five coherent sentences. Your original post did not speak of racism. Please try to stay on the same subject. You must be the individual who used all capitals; worried that my grandchildren were interested and educated on politics. Funny.

    3. @stephanie hummel C’mom, Joe Biden is cognitive deficient the dude doesn’t have a normal functioning brain, and he was and still a bigot.

  10. Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
    Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
    “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted”.
    Matt 23 NIV

    YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF AN IMAGE in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

    “If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.”

    AND WHEN YOU PRAY, DO NOT BE LIKE THE HYPOCRITES, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. BUT WHEN YOU PRAY GO INTO YOUR ROOM, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

    This, then, is how you should pray:

    Our Father in heaven,
    hallowed be your name,
    your kingdom come,
    your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
    Give us today our daily bread.
    And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
    And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.

    For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

    “Matthew 5-7 NIV Bible Gateway”, we can use google search.
    These are the teachings,
    The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
    REPENT, and start doing what is right.
    If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples; then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

    Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
    GOD IS SPIRIT so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in Truth.

    In the New Heaven and New Earth,
    only Righteousness dwells.
    May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.

    1. @stephanie hummel
      All thankfulness and glory, to God alone.
      May the Lord bless you and your family.
      May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you.

    2. But if you summarize it. Or just give us the fundamental simple application to present political sins.if you have the courage to see the real actors and point out the sins of the wealthy and their servants receiving contributions like the tithe and corrupting themselves to big pharma and denying the people a good wage , health care, but exploiting their work and profiting from everything . even death. Then your transcript of the Bible is nothing but words. Be courageous and point the finger to the enemies of the word of God. The GOP fundamentally and the evangelical church protecting the image of the demon; Trump

  11. *The Democrats used the Senate filibuster more than 200 times to block the Trump agenda just in 2020 alone!*

    1. Thank God they did if they did it that way. But Trump wasn’t the one with any agenda
      His puppet nature and mediocre intellect makes him incapable to govern and make any executive order.. He was an excellent obedient puppet.

  12. 2022 will be Republican majorities in house and senate …. to usher in president Trump in 2024🎉

    1. Honestly . if that happens. I’ll be glad the USA gets to live a fascist state. The logical consequence since the orange turd is a Hitler wannabe . or another replacement since he is too mediocre himself. Then the USA will learn the lesson the hard way. Sad but that is how I would feel that possible day.

  13. Struggling ?? I doubt it. More like delaying until the democrats loose in the next elections.
