Something wrong with your computer, professor?

Next is an “Oil for Food” program.

The way it’s going, kamela will be running as the incumbent.

“ When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic. Sell not liberty to purchase power. Ben Franklin

If it leads to CRs and ‘omnibus’ bills then it doesn’t matter a bit.

I don’t think it’s as big a deal as some are trying to make it. It’s democracy.

I think spending is more congress’ doing than the president. For Trump, his position on everything was diminished by the legislators who were sucked in by the ‘collusion’ propaganda during the first two years, and dims controlled congress the last two years. When George W. was president, he just set back and let congress do what they wanted. I don’t know where any of you fellas got the idea that I blame only dims for spending too much. While it is true that they are the biggest spenders, they haven’t done it without help.

I don’t believe you. I didn’t move off of anything. I don’t know Jordan’s financial status but I wouldn’t be surprised to find he’d benefited from his position, probably not as much as nancy polosi, though.

Would have never dreamed the necessity to enforce simple decency.

Maybe I haven’t been clear. I’m not saying anything about Trump or whom he doesn’t like. I’m saying democrats vote in lockstep while Republicans are more independent. So many in Congress have lost the perspective that it’s not their money they’re spending, it used to be our money they were spending, but the money they’re spending now doesn’t exist, except on paper; worthless paper. As for Jordans legislation, a lot of work, discussion, negotiation goes into creating some bills, done in committees. Reagan had a saying, something to the effect of how much could be accomplished when you didn’t care who got the credit.

Yes, RINOs. Big spending republicans, led by lobbyists. Part of the uni-party. Whatever you want to call them. Most will leave congress many times more wealthy than they entered. In the meantime, service on our debt is greater than our defense budget.

Who is this inmate you speak of, one of your students, family?

Well I’ve never been to Spain

Yes. I guess to be fair, some come from districts that are less than reliably republican and they may be fairly representative, but it seems less an issue for dims.

In case you hadn’t noticed, there are a lot of republicans that aren’t.

I’m a glass is half full kind of guy.

Dog whistle is a dog whistle.

He would be an automatic green light to all the destructive dimocrat policies that have set this country on the path to ruin. It wouldn’t be enough just to stream millions of illegals into the country, to compound the weaponization of the FBI, CIA, IRS, EPA, and all the other executive agencies that are working to terrorize Americans. It wouldn’t be bad enough to continue bleeding America’s resources, people, and funds to China, Russia, Mexico, and Iran. No, it wouldn’t be enough to allow, enact, and participate in the deviancy and predation of our children. First, the budget would be exploded to the point of no return, ensuring the end of the republic, and worldwide misery and unrest.

Jeffries has a law degree and a list of legislation. Some of it isn’t bad. But he would be catastrophic as speaker.

Well, I’m not too worried about it.

Okay, but he has the education.

Sure, that’s possible, but not likely. There’s something to him that so many would be voting for him.

It’s kind of sketchy attributing authorship of legislation. Laws are written with a lot of legalese to make sure that they’re focused, and can contain loopholes for congressmen. Jordan is a lawyer, and has little legislation in his name. Pelosi, who is not a lawyer, has a lot of legislation. Mostly resolutions, but to me, that means her staff did the work.
