[@GodSaveTheUnitedStates]

His actions and rhetoric seem to indicate that although I'd argue he has genuine distain for the most prosperous country in the history of the earth and I believe that he fits right in like a puzzle piece into the rise of far left extremists that either wish to ruin this country or wish to turn it socialist, same thing. One could argue that all far left extreme socialists that believe in open borders and government handouts are sociopaths, I doubt that's the case, but they are the most dangerous type of person, the ignorant type.

The Fund Ukraine and Border Bill wasn't actually a solution, in any meaningful sense. It would've codified the abuse of the asylum system they're using and given more resources to do it.

[@SilentMage78]

Absolutely. It actually has NOTHING to do with securing the border. I mean, where does the Ukraine come into play in that matter? Yet the BORDER bill passes $60bil to Zelensky, which accounts for over half of that bill’s budget, alone. Lol

The democrats obsession with President Trump is beyond disturbing. They make every house and senate hearing about him. They’re going to get him re-elected, and they’re too ignorant to realize it. If they weren’t so childish, they’d be embarrassed. Vote them all out.

[@jasonschulz3819]

What about Marjorie Greene and the MAGA Republicans in house obsession on Hunter Biden who is paying for his own crime and Marjorie Greene had to show a nude picture of him in the house is disgusting and Joe Biden they where obsessed and tried to impeach him and had No proof he was involved with his sons crime. and Mayorkas who they just tried to impeach him for NOTHING!!! Then the MAGA Republicans where so obsessed with the border and when the Senate and President Biden's administration had a awesome border bill that would close the border for the MAGA Republicans and Trump told Mike Johnson not to do it cause Trump wanted to keep campaigning on the border not being closed. So the border is still open because of that!! Look it up. Talk about obsession with things they don't even support what they wanted when they got it. They just keep jumping around wasting our taxpayers money instead of working for us all and do the right things. All they are doing is trying to get every good Democrats out so they have say over everything.

The Constitution of the United States Article IV Section 4 “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.” Every socialist Democrat who voted to dismiss just abdicated their right to hold office. Chucky’s opinion about what is or isn’t a high crime would only matter if he were in the HOUSE. it’s the Houses’ job to impeach the very act of voting to impeach means a majority of those with the power to determine high crimes did just that.
