How will it change your kids lives is more like it.....the anti-choice group has the house...they wanted to go after not only gay marriage but interracial marriage....you might not think you're affected by that but I'm interracially married...fuck that shit bro. If you want your kids to grow up without civil rights then keep that head in the sand! Gas prices and TP are the least of our worries. Also hope your kids don't get life stymied by unwanted pregnancies as well. See, it's not about US...it's about the future.
Shit, I hope congress does get a handle on spending just like any house hold that spending money they don't have. Money cost money! Now don't cause me of being a fucking Nazi or right wing fiscal conservative wacky, Im just a regular old man who's learned to live within my means. Ive always learned there are different levels of poverty, some of the most unhappy people Ive known our those with lots of spending and in debt beyond measure.
Right wing fiscal conservative is pretty much a democrat at this point. Lol. Being fiscally conservative at least makes sense. Whatever the fuck is going on now with the GQP and more extreme Rs, I have no idea what to call them other than idiots and ignorant at a dangerous level on both counts.
Well, duh! Hating women and tax cuts for the rich are articles of faith. Literally. It's what Republican Jesus commands
The truth is, none of what happened with that vote will affect your or your kids lives. McCarthy was always going to be speaker, it was a dog and pony show with a few politicians trying to get a few more promises out of the guy.
It has cut your salary as a portion of GDP, giving corporations more control over you and the opportunities available to you and your family. It has resulted in the poorer education and homelessness we see in our cities, and the ignorance that voted in Donald Trump... Politics is incredibly frustrating. It is designed that way in the US to make people like you and I stop paying attention. If we don't know what they are doing they can get away with more. "They" being the wealthy and corporations who write policies for our political leaders.
That said, all things considered, I don't see a better political system in the world than what we have in the US. Oh, other than The Azores!
Chris Hedges: America’s Theater of the Absurd The 15 rounds of voting it took to install Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House is part of the carnival of folly that passes for politics. https://popularresistance.org/chris-hedges-americas-theater-of-the-absurd/ QFT
Yeah, the Republicans need to stupify people and/or keep them uneducated so they will vote for them and accept blindly what they are doing.
