    Last time I check you can't expel a member for just for being a dick. He was elected and was cleared of charges. I'm not a fan but think he should stay.

    You think congress should continue to vote on giant omnibus bills rather than breaking them up into a bunch of separate spending bills?

    Somewhere in the middle. Sometimes large bills are needed to keep things moving along. Sometimes things should be seperated.

    Maybe congress shouldn't be so lazy, or better yet maybe the government shouldn't be doing as much.

    Congress doesn't write the bills. Their staffers and lobbyists write them and they just rubber stamp them.

    It's interesting how "they decided not to charge him" means dramatically different things to people depending on who it is.

    The question is not whether he $#@!s underage prostitutes, but whether it's on purpose or by accident. The house ethics committee can take that up as a problem whether or not he's criminally charged.

    I think the girl turned out to be 18. I could be wrong. But yeah, there is no question he was paying the girls for their company.

    Absolutely. They don't even read them. They are there to enrich themselves and gain access to State protections when the war they cause finally happens.

    It's every man for himself soon.

    We are almost at the point where Gaetz is as universally despised as Ramaswamy.

    Not that Fox News is any different than CNN, but interesting how much vitriol is directed at Gaetz on Fox.

    To be fair, Gaetz is kind of an ass... I like him because he has a spine, kind of like Trump, but he is taking more correct positions than Trump did honestly. But yeah, also like Trump, his personality is a bit grating and it makes complete sense why people can't get past it and see the policy side of things.

    The guy he was sharing her with pled guilty to child sex trafficking. She's the child in that charge.

    We all know that the overwhelming majority of the GOP are BIG GOVT corrupt turds. It is no wonder they don't like the few that don't go along to get along.

    McCarthy sucks and would rather work with liberal Democrats than conservative Republicans.

    I am a libertarian. I am advocating everyone enjoy maximum freedom on both personal and economic issues as long as they do not bring violence unto others.
