Today's senators get their opinions from their donors, so debating has no place. The debating is made through bank accounts.
In any other democracy, it would be called bribery.
We cannot forget, the days when the Senate debated was when the Senate was nearly all white men (1 black male Senator, 3-4 women senators).
It's the white supremacy that broke the Republican party's ability to govern.
You democrats never respected the laws. You never respected the second amendment.
Thank God he’s retiring. More should retire at 70. Need new blood but not dumbs.s like repub’s Walker, Boebert, mtg, Gaetz, hawley, Cawthorn and Dem’s Sinema
If it’s irrational and long term detrimental, the Democrats are all for it.
John Fetterman wants to release Dangerous Criminals back into Pennsylvania society. He chased down an INNOCENT BLACK MAN at GUNPOINT! He lived off his mom and dad till he was 40. He want's total open borders. He wants to legalize heroin. He wants to make it legal to abort babies right up until birth. Wrong for the country, WRONG FOR PENNSYLVANIA!
The GOP KKK toxic buffoon idiot are too stupid to debate anything except tax cuts for the rich, white supremacy, gun rights, abortion ban and racism.
Time to leave Leahy. You are and have always been poisonous for your constituents. Good bye you institutionalized old bass.
Death, it's one of the biggest events that will ever take place in your life. We face death everyday, conscious or unconsciously of it; death lurks around every corner of our life. Like a lion waiting to catch its prey, death comes for us all in many shapes and forms; seemingly there is no one who can escape from the jaws of death.
But did you know there is a reason why we die? The idea of death you're familiar with is only the tip of the iceberg. See we die because we've sinned against God. Death according to the bible is wages " for the wages of sin is death " (Romans 6:23).
Because man sinned against God, we live in a fallen world, it was once perfect, but now in ruins. Now that sin exists, God is coming to judge the world In righteousness. "It's appointed a man once to die and after this judgement" (Hebrews 9:27) The standard he'll judge you by is the 10 commandments, God's moral law.
He's so serious about sin that he gives anyone who sins the death sentence, the bible says you've earned it through sinning against God and God pays you in death. Each time you sin you build up his wrath. “The soul who sins shall die.” (Ezekiel 18:4) The punishment is the eternal fires of Hell " Where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 13:42)
You will have to face God on Judgement Day.
Will you go to Heaven or Hell?
Here’s a quick test:
1.You shall have no other gods before Me. (Have you always loved God above all else?)
2.You shall not make yourself an idol. (Have you made a god in your mind that you're more comfortable with, a god to suit yourself?)
3.You shall not take God's name in vain. (Have you ever used God's holy Name as a cuss word?)
4.Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy.
5.Honor your father and mother.
6. You shall not murder. (God considers hatred to be as murder, 1 John 3:15).
7. You shall not commit adultery. ("Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart" Matthew 5:27-28; this also includes sex before marriage).
8. You shall not steal. (Have you ever stolen anything? the value of the item is irrelevant).
9. You shall not lie. (Have you lied even once? Including answering these questions).
10. You shall not covet. (Have you ever jealousy desired what belongs to others?)
James 2:10 says, “the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God’s laws.”
The Bible says that God will punish all murderers, rapists, thieves, liars, adulterers, etc. He will even judge our words and thoughts.
If you have done any of those things, God sees you as guilty of breaking His law and the Bible warns that the guilty will end up in Hell. Will YOU be guilty on Judgement Day?
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
God sent His Son to suffer and die on the cross. Jesus took the punishment upon Himself and defeated death on the cross; not because you're Good but because God is rich in mercy.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
Jesus rose from the dead and defeated death. Repent (turn from sin) today and trust in Jesus and God will grant you everlasting life.
Then, Read the Bible and obey what you read.
Pray something like this:
"Dear God, today I turn away from all of my sins (name them). Today I put my trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. He is the only way for me to be saved. He is 'The way, the truth, and the life.'" Please forgive me, change my heart, and grant me Your gift of everlasting life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."
When you find time please read this, it's Christian principles for growth:

We have too many old, old, OLD people who don't even know how to debate. Dianne Feinstein needs to go, too. She's almost 90.
Term limits now!!! 48 year's!?!?!
Those Americans own that building Sir, you should clean up your party if you don’t want pissed off Americans. Understand? We own that building! You work for Americans even the deplorable’s weather you like them or not
❤Only for fans over 18 year⤵️ Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine verwohn.online Brünette und eine andere Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wennn ich 4 wählen würde
Pft. 48 years in the Senate. He's one of the problems. Just like that celebrity said " these people live forever and stay in the Senate forever" we need term limits, and dark money out of politics.
48 years is gross ! No matter the side! Just like Grassley running again
I noticed that on CSpan like thirty years ago. Real debate takes time and study . Senators these days are too lazy they'd rather spend the time fundraising and go on extremely long vacations.
Congratulations on your retirement Senator!!!!!
My hero!!!" UnclePat!"
Our congress and senate are for sale. BOTH SIDES.
♥️𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆❤️ Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine warmthhh.Online Brünette und eine andere Blondine. Es wäre unfaire, wenn ich 4 wählen würde
Senate doesn't talk because a large group of them stuck with lifelong conman, serial adulterer, draft dodger, tax cheat trump. They let a lifelong democrat seize control of their party and then they watched as their own party attacked the capital and tried to kill the VP. Them's the facts!
