It makes the thing completely unwatchable and it's so utterly pointless.

Very shrewd of Joe to get republicans to agree to protect Medicare and Social Security.

Why do we need the government to stop service charges and baggage fees?

Refuse to use their services and that will FORCE the change.

LET'S FINISH THE JOB!

Excellent point!

Why do we need the government to require bedrooms that don't have a door that opens to the outside to have a window opening at least 20 inches wide by 24 inches high and no higher than 44 inches from the floor!?

Because if we lose once child to a fire, we can always have another one, and choose a different home builder.

Also, speaking of kabuki theater, I caught a bit of Biden on the radio earlier.

Old man sure does stumble through his speech

Then he ranted about Merica being the highest prescription drug prices in the world. Then adds a “WELL NOT ANY MORE!” That got a huge ovation.

But I dunno how tough on big pharma he really plans to get. Pretty sure he was just talking about price capping insulin for seniors on Medicare.

Any truth to the rumors that Hunter Biden and Comey had Jewish/Italian space lasers pump gas into the chamber rendering republicans unable to resist Biden's request they agree not to cut or end Social Security and Medicare?

Senator Mike Lee called Biden a liar:

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, accused President Biden of lying when Biden said some Republicans seek to sunset Social Security and Medicare, yet Sen. Lee previously called for gutting Social Security.

And Roe was settled law....but they won't try to get a national ban on abortion.
I saw the worst minds of my generation empowered by madness, bloated farcical naked,
dragging themselves through the whitewashed streets at dawn looking for a grievance fix.
