  1. I know who leaked…the sick wife…

  2. Why even have a debt ceiling?!!! Imagine if any of us decided on a ceiling above which we wouldn't pay? If the Government can do it, why not us? Why are Republicans always freaking out about spending, when it's used to help middle-class folks, working-class folks, poor folks, homeless folks, and veterans; to protect the environment; improve access to healthcare; improve infrastructure; improve education; help poor countries, whose economies we've wrecked, and with whom we must build goodwill to prevent additional wars? Why is it that Republicans don't have any problem spending tons of money on welfare for billionaires? How is that being fiscally conservative? Why are Republicans okay with Socialism to help billionaires, but not if it's to help the rest of us? Why are Republicans freaked out about increasing the minimum wage, but enthusiastic about increasing the fortunes of billionaires? What's the point of wasting billions and billions of dollars by refusing to raise the debt ceiling and by shutting down the Government? Seems to me that Democrats and Progressives are more fiscally conservative than Republicans. Democrats/Progressives spend money more wisely than Republicans.

  3. Republicans the clown show 🤣, you came out swinging with nothing 🙄 😒 your all weaklings you didn't pass or never will pass anything. McCarthy please tell your stupid party no bill was passed.

  4. Aaaaaaannd it was Doubled during Obama Years. At least with Trump he had to deal with an all new World Pandemic. But if you want to Slam G W Bush.. go right ahead. He deserved all the hate. Well he was just a Puppet. Cheney & Rumsfeld were the ones in charge. Dems today are warhawks just like they were. Neocons through and through.

  5. Our government is just like the Roman government. But where is Rome now? In history books!

  6. Interesting how the most prosperous country in the world is arguing about debt. When I studied economics in university, we learned the U.S. calculates debt in the GDP. Perhaps, the U.S. should use their financial stability to avoid debt. We should not be in debt.

  7. Make America Accountable Again! “MAAA” not really a good ring to that one. 😂 ☝️ 😂

  8. Listen people, bots and whatever you claim to be. TERM LIMITS AND NO PAC’S!
    Simple solution: 3 congressional terms for a total of 6 years. 1 senatorial term for total of six year. Two term for president totaof 8 years (already done). PAC’s are simply a purchase program for buying off government officials. Simple stuff friends.

  9. Our lives are the most valuable things in this world 🗺 and there is nothing that is worth more than you or me ….why, bc we are Priceless ❤ don’t ever forget that and that we come to survive by staying alive and we must use our common sense to make good judgment calls in order to stay healthy by staying alive as long as you can. We have conquered killing – now let’s conquer living together peacefully among all that is …..

  10. Give me a break ,we all know who to blame for this

  11. Sincerity of belief on the right 😂 please.

  12. Also for the record – the lady of Justice is back to balance the scales and I have caught the loophole you all made in order to create your fake nightmare of his story of evil within our true real-time history of our good lives which we are the never ending story with no end in sight…. So I am adding “Do No Harm as part of the Golden Rule” – so they can never put us in harms way ever again!

  13. No paychecks to the House and Senate until the debt limit is paid and capped.

  14. report the news or are you a political advocate make up your mind

  15. R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N is what we need.

  16. Ahm Sorry For The Invasion Of A *Democrated Country–With THAT Said, This IS NOT OUR [America's] War!
    [and] Ukraine Needs TaaH ST✋🏽P Tryna Involve Us In It. We Are Offering The Country ALL The Aid We Can [and] Should Supply Them With–However In My View [Like The Preverbal Saying Goes: You Giv'em An Inch–They'll Want A Yard] I Believe This IS The Case Here! With Ukraine's President Asking The United States For LRM's. Our Friendship SHOULD NOT BE BASED ON WHAT WE CAN OR👉🏽CANNOT👈🏽SUPPLY TO YOUR COUNTRY. Jus My Opinion 🫡🇺🇸

  17. We need to reform the tax system not the budget there are rich people in this country who pay less taxes than the poor a good start would be to eliminate the loopholes the rich use to avoid paying their fair share of taxes

  18. Two words Motu Proprio – look it up your all responsible and liable for all you took from we the people – Pope Francis destroys all Corporations and Releases all Trust Funds to Humanity dated July 07, 2017 that’s right – read it and weep 😢 your gig is up and your veil is crumbling to the ground for all to see you fools! Who’s laughing now 😂….lol ❤

  19. Spread the NEWS to all corners North East West and South bc you can’t spread anything on a ball without it falling off ❤

  20. Sorry you all lose for cheating – cheaters never prosper so Good runs this final battle once and for all that is good and great! Love is what rules from now on – it heals and will conquer all and will keep our world going around every day going forward the right way with no end in sight ….. so we will live happily ever after instead of dying all the time!

  21. Yeah the united state of America republican trumpies house party is the fault definitely biggest things is that the elephant s are the trumpies house party want to hurt we the people of the united state of America dearly so much dearly

  22. Who cares who leaked it? Change it Back. WOMEN OF AMERICA…Women of the WORLD. Fight the religion, fight the men , fight for a woman’s rights. As for Debt Ceiling. What do they want to takeaway……Social security, medical care, and anything else like lunch programs?

  23. We gave you all plenty of time to change your ways – start telling the truth or you will pay the consequences for all your shenanigans you have perpetrated on the meek people of this world and have benefitted tremendously on their pain and suffering for their personal gain. Let it be know for the records that they created this illusion all for the love of money and wealth and power to rule by force and controlling all to harm and destroy all for the love of money and power!

  24. Republicans of congress are worried about doing for all that do deserve and need what they want to keep their salaries as well. The childish acts the right does is for people who sopport their spending and campaigning later.

  25. Time to clean house and get rid of all these parasites and toxins poisoning everything and everybody literally!

  26. They have used music to change the tone of everything to anger and violent by changing the Schumann resonance 432 hz to 440 hz which is what changed the whole world 🗺 and they have been able to lull us all into a false sense of security!

  27. Ha ha ha republican trumpies house party you're in out of reach definitely biggest trumpies house party people really republican trumpies house party

  28. House members are public servants, lower their salary to reflect what they pay public servants who are not lobbying to raise their salary ever year!

  29. NO cuts to SS or Medicare. BIG cuts to House and Senate salaries!

  30. I want to see the Supreme Court stop this stuff about who leaked the decision. That’s not the important part. What is important is that the justices took away a right. We are going in the wrong direction.

  31. The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature , by the hand of divinity itself, and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power. A. Hamilton and also why you can not erase what you have done on all your electronics – welcome to candid camera 🎥 thanks for playing 😂 I do believe we got all the evidence we need to capture you all doing what you are not suppose to be doing and also love how you all love to take selfies – we got it all ❤ enough evidence to cover a paper trail that goes for miles…… never ever think you are not being watched bc you are ❤

  32. Again Chuck! You're showing your true colors 🙄🤓🤓💥💯

  33. Have we nothing but stupid f…ing dotards in this supreme kangaroo court now???!!!!!! Dear Jesus where do these ppl come from in our entire government!!! It’s like one huge mental hospital!!!!

  34. F-the American people

  35. We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the Courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who would pervert the Constitution with their abuse of power. Abraham Lincoln – We the people must hold them accountable for their every word and deed in their performance of their official duties. Their words are their testimony that they neither respect you or the solemn oath they made and are unworthy to hold any office in the public trust!

  36. So Chuck , hmm you ask whether there will be any accountability for these MAGA Republicans. Who you point out got re- elected in deep red states , despite instigating / participation in a coup and insurrection, obstructing, and being censured. Then in the next breath lambast Dems for playing politically advantageous games. Gee last I checked , it wasn't Dems threatening not to raise the debt ceiling so then can of course do their normal damage and threaten people's livelihoods. So MAGA is once again wrecking everything, but this time the Dems are in the driver's seat and doing something they have failed to do in the past, and that's fight back. Nah let's just both sides it again. Perhaps you forgot about how the Rethugs pulled this very trick on the Obama administration? Where back then Dems did what they normally do……cave and give in to Republicans whims. Just when you earned a modicum of respect for giving it to Ron Johnson , it's back to the old both sides are playing games crap. If we ever hole to get this country even somewhat normal we gotta go at them. Hard. Liker they do to us. Does anyone actually think democrats will tank everything to risk " political gamesmanship"? Why has media fallen so far down this hole. This isn't political anymore. It's good guys bad guys. And you need to start calling it that way

  37. The United States is a captured operation, the lie is bigger than most people realize or are willing to confront that is, until there is no other option but by then, it might be too late! We the people rule this world 🗺 and we the people need to take back our power from these wicked ones fooling us all – these words of salvation are free and true! The truth is going to set us all free from these shameless ones bc truth is the most powerful weapon bc knowledge is our Power! Take these words and spread them to all your life depends on it if you want to live otherwise you will become part of their eugenics depopulation control- to be forced and controlled by a bunch of monkeys!

  38. GOP…..your high earning friends and large corporations need to pay their fair share of taxes!!! Our budget would be balanced!!!!

  39. F! them and their "slash the spending"
    B$!!!!!!!!
    STOP slashing the Taxes Millionaires, Billionaires and Corporations pay.
    Less money coming in = a bigger debt no matter HOW much you're spending.
