  1. Only if the bill were good for us the people. As a former democrat I learned a lot about Democrats in the last 3 years, nothing good. That’s why Im independent and will vote for Republicans if they are pro America only.

  2. They're gonna pass these bills 1/2 o'clock in the morning when nobody is awake like they always do…

  3. My first deal with maskoffweb was awesome the flips 0.5btc to my blockchain wallet so I could pay for my bills

  5. Ukraine needs another Trillion?

  6. The American people REALLY need to wake up! WE the people ELECT these Candidates, they are SUPPOSED to do what WE want, NOT what THEY want to do!

    That is why WE need to ELECT someone that will give the people MONEY like during the COVID Pandemic.

    The ****(DEMOCRATS)**** where the ones that made SURE that the American people got MONEY during the COVID Pandemic. The REPUBLICANS and TRUMP didn't want to give MONEY.

    That is why we need to make Sure we ELECT a DEMOCRATIC candidate that will give Americans a MONTHLY payment for LEGAL Americans. The Monthly check can be like $200 a Month to All LEGAL Americans; plus other Federal MONEY to All LEGAL Americans people.

    These Politicians give SO MUCH of our Tax Money to OTHER countries, but then these Politicians DON'T want to give there own American people at least a $200 Monthly Federal Check to help all LEGAL Americans.

    We need to ELECT someone like a ***(BERNIE SANDERS)*** type candidate, who will Help give people Government MONEY to All LEGAL Americans.

    The COVID Pandemic showed you that the Government can PRINT MONEY whenever they want to. So the Public should see from the COVID Pandemic MONEY, that the FEDERAL Government can give All LEGAL Americans as much MONEY as WE the public say we want. But we need to ELECT a candidate
    like a **(BERNIE SANDERS)** type of candidate, that wants to give Federal MONEY to All LEGAL Americans.

    If all the American people make this a MAJOR issue when they want to get ELECTED, then they will have to give all LEGAL Americans Extra MONEY every month, like Every LEGAL American should be getting at least $200 a Monthly Federal Check for all of their life's as a LEGAL American.

    These Politicians give SO MUCH of our Tax Money to OTHER countries, but then these Politicians DON'T want to give there own American people at least a $200 Monthly Federal Check to help all LEGAL Americans.

    The COVID Pandemic showed that the Federal government can PRINT as much money as they want, whenever they want! Just like how our government gives BILLIONS of dollars to OTHER countries, but DON'T want to give some Monthly MONEY to All LEGAL Americans!

    WAKE up America!!!!! Our Government is supposed to do what WE TELL we WANT!

  7. It would be surprising if McConnel doesn't support this bill. Maybe he will want to tweak it.

  8. And the other, is lighter in skin tone, has houses of worship, and so many unspoken realitys. Could have a discernable line of those who are of such things, and the rest who didnt. Done.

  9. Close tax loopholes rise minimum wage. 😎 just saying! Come on chuck Schumer.!

  10. 🤔 my Skin vs your SIN.

  11. Accurate Headline : Democrats Race To Pass Several Major Bills Before Major Losses In November Due To Marxist Dictates

  12. Do not jump to conclusions – it is very important for everyone! In every country in the world there is an international social project that is growing. A CREATIVE SOCIETY! People of different nationalities and religions are coming together to build a just society. After all, we all want to live happily ever after!

  13. WHO thinks they have any Rights in USA ???? LoL

  14. Crime a problem? Is Is your socialist state Representative listed?
    Many of the names listed below were financed by socialist George Soros who for decades is committed to open borders and elimination of the Military and Law Enforcement of any type. Congressional Progressives (Socialists) is the same group that is soft on crime, early release, no bail, voted for de-fund the police, 'Gun control', and support open borders, amnesty, benefits to illegal aliens. These are the worst of the worst.

    Raul Grijalva AZ, Maxine Waters CA, Jackie Speier CA, Sara Jacobs CA, Barbara Lee CA, Norma Torres CA, Alexandra Ocasio- Cortez NY, Jamaal Bowman NY, Adriano Espaillat NY, Nydia Velazquez NY, Carolan Maloney NY, Josh Gottheimer NJ, Bill Parcells NJ, Donald Payne NJ, Mike Sherrill NJ, Albio Sires NJ,Bonnie Watson Coleman NJ, Tom Malinowski NJ, Ilhan Abdullahi Omar MN, Cori Bush MO, Ayanna Pressley MASS, Rashida Tlaib MI , Brenda Lawrence MI,Katherine Clark MI, Andy Levin MI, Pramila Jayapal WA, Joyce Beatty OHIO, Jesús García ILL, Marie Newman ILL , Jan Schakowsky ILL, Raul Grijalva AZ
    Sylvia Garcia TX , Veronica Escobar TX , Steven Horsford NV, Ed Perlmutter CO, Madeleine Dean PA, Alma Adams NC

    (12 of the 36 listed are from NY & NJ. This is your problem)

  15. A race to pass bills for complete power overriding any opposition in upcoming elections. It's how they roll.

  16. Whoever the real person is in charge of the country is scared to death of white supremacists. There answer is to literally flood the country from all over the world. Democrats then fly the illegals all over the country distributing them to states. Next on the Democrats wish list is to give illegals the right to vote, "Voting rights" or at the least voting with no ID (another Democrat favorite).

    Have you seen all the pregnant woman crossing the border? $15K for each child birth with no complications. Schools?- from K-12 it costs taxpayers on average of $122,000 for EACH illegal alien student. This does not include the millions spent on bilingual ED, instructors, daycare. School class size's are negatively impacted and our students suffer as a result. Crime- $3Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate, process Illegal aliens in the Criminal justice system. $2.2 Billion dollars a
    year is spent on food assistance program. Emergency services- every police, fire,paramedic for city & states increase dramatically. Taxpayers pay for all hospital, emergency room treatments, ambulances. It's a great plan! Allow an invasion and the American taxpayers pay for the invaders health care, education, etc. As an added bonus, children born here get automatic citizenship, and young children brought here stay because of DACA. This is a collaboration between the Biden Administration and the group 'country's with out borders.Make no mistake, this is intentional. Our children and grand children will be pay for this in the future as we will now. Last count 2.3 million have crossed.

  17. Congress will pass the CHIPS act meanwhile the rest of us are worrying about how to make it to the next month😅

  18. Were stuck with this vegetable for two more years (who has the Nuke codes) Democrats intentionally hid Biden from the American public and press because of his dementia to win an election (so much for 'country over party.') What we got for their deception? Record high gas price's (soon $10 a gallon. Imagine 5 gallons for $50 bucks.) 40 year record high inflation and getting worse, Crime out of control,11 dead Marines, Americans left behind, $71 billion in military equipment given to the Taliban and their terrorist friends in Afghanistan. Biden had to kiss the Saudi Prince's royal a** in front of the world. Millions of illegal aliens, drugs and terrorists crossing our southern border and Joe does nothing, still has done nothing. This in ONE years time! Biden is deteriorating mentally right before our eyes and taking the country with him. All this because the Democrats LIED about his condition and still are. Smears and lies are all Democrats can do.

  19. I think this also demonstrates that if they really wanted to they could have rush and pass everything else on their agenda quite simply put they choose not to because it's not in their interest at that time it seems

  20. This democrat is done with their corruption! The chip bill giving our taxpayer money to chip makers that are billionaires and do not need it while they keep telling us we cannot afford universal healthcare, free college but Manchin is not upset with this deficit spending? No terms are asked as he treats and too the poor as if they are prisoners to get help! 78 billion Dollars with no terms, no payback, no term to stop stock buy backs? This is pure corporate corruption and no more will I vote for you!

  21. Why is it that Congress is the only job in America that every few weeks can take weeks off from work and get pay for it .when evey other job in America you have to work the day before a holiday and the day after a holiday to just get a holiday pay.these politicians
    Is supposed to get in office to work for the American not go in office just so they can all together just work a couple of months in 12 month year.it isn't a law that they have to take all these weeks off .,they can stay until they get the job done for the people who put them in there in the first place.this is one reason things that America people never get what is right for being a human right.just show the American people where States in law that have to take all these weeks off and I'm not talking about policy that was wrote down by people who is in Congress.

  22. The Supreme Court doesn’t “grant rights” they simply interpret the Constitutionality of laws and government actions. I have a two year college degree. What is wrong with college these days that kids didn’t learn this?

  23. lets also not forget voting rights and major parts of BBB

  24. Democrats are destroying this country just as fast as they can

  25. Isaiah 55

    5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.
    6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
    7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

  26. Republican. —- Seditionist.

  27. Controlled demolition

  28. Still not voting for corrupt corporate democrats.

    When the democrats start running real left wing folks I’ll start voting for them again.
