  20. Right Chucky and Mitch No Stalling Senate! You have until midnight to pass that bill and get it to Biden if it is not passed tonight it will not be on Biden's desk tomorrow morning and if Biden does not see that bill we will be bankrupt on Monday. We can not allow that get this bill to Biden spend the COVID Money, Slash the IRS, and Pay Your Bills! It's Go Time Get To Work Senate! Now VOTE!

  21. it does not matter. USA is still going down fast, the corruption is just too high. corporate america owns the country, they own the news, the government, the supreme court, 99% of all politicians.

  22. 2 of the most roguish, racist white boys in the history of the country. ๐Ÿ™„

  23. Schumer and Mcconnell need to go away. These two are a piece of work in progress . These two are ahead of the union? Ranking ? Give me a break.

  32. Senators Schumer and McConnell are 100% right . Get it passed !

  33. Schumer is a perfect example of why stereotypes are legit.

  34. Who are the knights of pythia? Nelson Rockefeller was a member. Even Franklin Roosevelt, who was already a member of the improved order of red men, joined in 1936. It was short after James farley had a visit to the Vatican with Pope pius 11 and soon to be Pope's pius12. Seems Charles Schumer is also a member of this secret fraternity. Franklin Roosevelt led us into ww2. So, is this debt ceiling really about a greater war? Chuk is a copycat with his use of whirlwind to describe the FBI. Before chuk used it, I used it to describe Jehovah's leading the yisraelites up out of Egypt. He used than for the fbi. Is the fbi's whirlwind power the Vatican and the Farley files they have on every single earthling?
    Peace and Ahev
