    What a total clown car the USA is.

    …when I was a kid and I watched Mars Attacks! and that scene happened where gramma laughed ass off when the aliens disintegrated congress…I didn’t really get it.

    Now I do.

      Bunch of billionaire servants that do nothing. *Nothing good generally on purpose at least.

      They’re mad for the right reasons. Even if what they do about it and who they enable is ignorant and wrong. If someone ever manages to break the propaganda and reach them though. Things would get real bad real quick for the political class. They work hard to divide us for a reason.

        Yeap. There’s no other way to think of politicians…with very few exceptions, if any.

        Any politician who gets inside the system and isn’t raising alarm bells 24-7…who tries to reach across the aisle…who tries to horse trade…who lets their vote get whipped…is too far gone.

          How do a few new congress people get anything done without compromise with at least half the rest?

            Pork barrel spending, and since they got rid of that there hasn’t been almost any bipartisan stuff aside from things that get unanimous consent.
