Let's back up a little. Look at the investigations into Afghanistan. Pelosi spends more time attacking Biden than insurrection. You think she's on our side? On what planet are you living? Schumer can't write a budget, neither can Pelosi. I looked it up. We haven't had a budget since 1996. So these worthless dicks get paid $14,500 a month and can't do the one thing they're required to do and that's write a budget. Now, you'll say that's because of the filibuster but that's an excuse. Get rid of it. Here's what I'd do if I were president. I'd have Harris vote present on the budget and the debt ceiling increase. Both would fail. Then, I'd demand a budget, both infrastructure bills, and the debt increase. If republicans give them a vote or two, I'd veto it. In order to override they'd need a lot of republican votes and they can't even get one. You're defending two leaders in the House and Senate who took two week vacations for the 4th, two weeks for Labor Day and the entire month of August off. Then they come back from two months of vacations and Manchin says we need to "pause." Did Schumer put him in his place? He can't because he was on vacation too. You're talking about Civil Rights as if it's possible to pass legislation. It's not. Last year McConnell had to use the Christmas vacation (they do love their vacations) to force his party to vote for pandemic aid. He told them he'd keep them in town until it was done. There's only one Christmas in a year. That's how messed up this generation of leaders are. This is the system you're defending and I can destroy it within seconds. The system created by Pelosi, McConnell, Manchin, Schumer, etc. doesn't work. It hasn't worked for 25 years (1996). I refuse to give in this this madness. They're too lazy to do their jobs. Regarding AOC. She's pushing for the Biden agenda of $3.5 trillion. Did you forget she's one of the few who are still doing their jobs? When you attack her you're attacking Biden.
