@bjugler They are congress's leaders they're not the people's leaders. They are the people's servants.

@isrivard893 Real leaders pass bills that will help the people. False leader pass bills to enrich themselves and other countries.

@drfostermusic Ironic comment based on your punctuation.

Whatever we're paying them, it's 100x as much as they're worth.

@nickdivjak1624 The less congress does, the better. Name one thing in the last 10 years in congress that made your life better. Then think about 10 things in the last 10 years that made your life worse. If congress only worked one week a year, the whole country would be better off.

Mike is being facetious. The conversation went like this: Johnson: Mr. President we need to close the border first Biden: Jill promised me chocolate chocolate chip ice cream Johnson: Mr. President, you have the authority to do this right now and if you would do that we could come to a compromise Biden: Tell Jill I made in my pants again Johnson: Mr. President, I don't think you're taking this seriously Biden: President Johnson, Remember me? I was down on your ranch with the president of Mexico after that terrible Kennedy shooting

@Muff_Diver That's true, Democrats are more concerned with sending money overseas than to do the right thing and help US Citizens on Maui.

@elsierodgers4874 Because Trump said no As anyone with an IQ above room temperature would do

@wandavazquez1234 Politicians aren't leaders. We don't elect leaders. We elect presidents, we elect congressman, we elect mayors. Maybe you have a feel you need to be led in your daily life by a politician, but most people think of them as people who do the citizen's bidding.

@rosssimpson6268 What is the national interest in sending money to Ukraine? They cannot win the war no matter how many dollars we throw at them. Seems like a lot of politicians have something to hide over in Ukraine.

We've already found out that when the government is shut down, things move along much more smoothly.

Their paycheck is probably less that 5% of how they make money in congress. If you cut their salary to zero, they'd still make millions a year.

@ELCUCUI159 Actually Ellie, the bill codifies that it's legal to bring in illegals to the country. 5,000 a day in fact. That sounds like a terrible bill, doesn't it? Biden has the authority right now to shut down the border. We know that's true because Trump did it.

@petestephen4922 Sending $60B to Ukraine while making it legal for 5,000 illegals to invade our country daily is not in our country's interest.

@edzuris7944 Ukraine is not an ally, they're not even a real country. They're essentially a business that launders money for US politicians.

@DrDangerPuppy Peter is a lot of both.

@leahwilson1674 Because it was terrible for the American people. Understand the deal: 1) It allows 5,000 illegals to come through the border daily 2) It sends $60B to Ukraine, even though Ukraine cannot win the war. In fact, most people understand the war is actually over. 3) It send money to Israel for reasons that aren't entirely clear. Do you think that's a good deal for the American people?

@HippiePirates exactly, and the irony is the Democrats say out loud that they want to replace citizens with immigrants, but if anybody else says it, you're a conspiracy theorist. Of course, a conspiracy theorist these days is just a person 6 months away from being proven correct.

@petestephen4922 Trump told them he needed a campaign talking point because he has nothing else Pure fantasy on your part. Trump told them not to pass it because it was a terrible deal.

@James-vl1xd Did you mean the resident of the White House, FJB?

@republicansthatdidntvotefo1605 Biden can shut down the border right now. This instant. We don't need a deal for that. And if the price of a border deal is to give people work permits immediately, it's a terrible deal. Shut down the border now, and we'll talk about Ukraine.

@jocde3626 He didn't sparky. Biden has increased debt in the US by $10B in just 3 years. A record for any president.

@republicansthatdidntvotefo1605 The polls are showing Democrats are going to be screaming at the sky, Brandon.

@thedeadp00lttv "we have the smallest inflation in all the world right now" We're actually doing terribly compared with a lot of countries. Here's the latest list of countries doing better: United States 3.1% Spain 3.1% Canada 3.1% Tanzania 3% Greece 3% Japan 2.8% Solomon Islands 2.8% Bermuda 2.8% Taiwan 2.7% Cambodia 2.7% Puerto Rico 2.7% Gabon 2.7% Indonesia 2.6% Uganda 2.6% Djibouti 2.6% Bahamas 2.2% Bolivia 2.1% El Salvador 2.1% Maldives 2.1% Libya 2% Panama 2% Guyana 2% Chad 1.9% Saudi Arabia 1.7% Switzerland 1.7% Bosnia and Herzegovina 1.7% Aruba 1.7% Central African Republic 1.6% Cyprus 1.6% 12/23 Malaysia 1.5% Ecuador 1.4% 12/23 Belgium 1.4% 12/23 Papua New Guinea 1.4% Portugal 1.4% Liechtenstein 1.4% Jordan 1.3% Mauritania 1.3% Qatar 1.3% Cape Verde 1.3% Netherlands 1.2% Lithuania 1.2% Macau 1.2% Trinidad and Tobago 1.1% Latvia 1% Senegal 0.9% South Sudan 0.8% New Caledonia 0.7% Italy 0.6% Denmark 0.6% Oman 0.6% Burkina Faso 0.5% Georgia 0.4% Brunei 0.2%

@insaneclownponies9599 " accepted that his border policy was a failure" Biden never accepted that. He realized the flood of criminals coming across the border was bad for his re-election, and that he'd stop if he got something in return. You realize the Democrats actually do want to replace citizens with illegals who become dependent on the state, while working cheaply for the Democrat billionaire donors.

@mycomagic Your grasp of history has the ring of someone completely ignorant of why Japan attacked the US and further you have no idea about the war in Europe. There were two primary reasons Japan attacked: 1) FDR had an embargo on scrap metal to the Japanese, which was crimping their war effort 2) The Japanese calculated that if they hit us hard at Pearl, we'd seek terms. And yes, we were helping Europe at the time; look up the "lend-lease" act. And finally the reason Germany was crushed was primarily because of the Russians bleeding the Germans dry on the Eastern front. The Russians lost 27,000,000 people in that war defeating the Nazi, and so a little respect is due to a people that were the principle reason the Nazis were defeated by sacrificing all those people.

@casper191985 Nothing in the bill helps the border. That's a fact.

@insaneclownponies9599 He did, and it does allow up to 5000 crossing a day.

@GamerGirl_PA So knowing how the Biden administration lies and continuous to lie about the border (just last week they said the border was secure), they'll stop counting at 4,999 every day. Because democrats in congress have said very openly they want an open border.

@thedeadp00lttv Not even close. Here's the inflation numbers for last quarter. United States 3.1% Spain 3.1% Canada 3.1% Tanzania 3% Greece 3% Japan 2.8% Solomon Islands 2.8% Bermuda 2.8% Taiwan 2.7% Cambodia 2.7% Puerto Rico 2.7% Gabon 2.7% Indonesia 2.6% Uganda 2.6% Djibouti 2.6% Bahamas 2.2% Bolivia 2.1% El Salvador 2.1% Maldives 2.1% Libya 2% Panama 2% Guyana 2% Chad 1.9% Saudi Arabia 1.7% Switzerland 1.7% Bosnia and Herzegovina 1.7% Aruba 1.7% Central African Republic 1.6% Cyprus 1.6% Malaysia 1.5% Ecuador 1.4% Belgium 1.4% Papua New Guinea 1.4% Portugal 1.4% Liechtenstein1.4% Jordan 1.3% Mauritania 1.3% Qatar 1.3% Cape Verde 1.3% Netherlands 1.2% Lithuania 1.2% Macau 1.2% Trinidad and Tobago 1.1% Latvia 1% Senegal 0.9% South Sudan 0.8% New Caledonia 0.7% Italy 0.6% Denmark 0.6% Oman 0.6% Burkina Faso 0.5% Georgia 0.4% Brunei 0.2%

@akitadog01 The US has one of the highest tax rates on the wealthy and corporations. Its a spending problem.

@191985 The Biden administration has consistently lied about the situation at the border. The Biden administration has consistently refused to deport illegals who commit crimes. And the Biden administration has consistently lied that he doesn't have the authority to close the border. Here what the president can do right now without any bill: 1) Shut the border tight 2) Bring back the remain in mexico 3) Stop giving money to illegals 4) Start deporting illegals who commit crime 5) And the FBI should not let anyone into the country until they've been fully vetted. We had that policy until 2021.
