This is what America needs, where two bipartisan members are working together, not screaming at each other. Happy to see this, gives me hope for our country.

[@margaretmary-dj1ps]

YES ! amen

[@denisehall4818]

Yes, this is the way it used to be and the strength of America is built on cooperating bipartisanship.What happend?

[@peterschancel7223]

True .. this interview gave me hope a Government can function as a government . The Senate just achieved that with the new Border Bill waiting and shelved by GOP Congress Puppets directed by a Candidate for POTUS

[@carolemyers-hj2rd]

Many senators worked in a bipartisan way. But most Repub senators & all House Reps now bow to Trump/MAGA demands.

[@michaelRay2576]

Correct, so people like Marjorie are more suited at places like the House of the Rising Sun or Mustang Ranch.

Great job Face the Nation!!! Please do more of these bi-partisan discussions! This is how Americans should get accurate information!

Anyway you have two members of government, opposite sides of the aisle, sitting down and working together and atleast attempting to come together to address something. GREAT! Maybe there is hope. But ya look down in the comments and what do ya know!?!? She is called a “secret trumpet”? A negative Trump comment from some cool aid drinking lefty! I’m sure I’ll get flack for the “cool aid” comment, but they started it! Lol Anyway, , , You don’t want to co exist. If anyone has any political stance you don’t agree with you lash out.

As a registered independent, with conservative leanings, I do, for a change, agree with Bernie Sanders about demanding that humanitarian aid be allowed into Gaza for the innocents trapped in this war. Since the beginning of time, innocent people always used as pawns in a war.

You do not have to be from one party or another to do the right thing. That´s for weak minds unable to have critical thinking.

[@denisehall4818]

As an independent with liberal leaningsI would ask you a question.What party would be better to carry out these ideas at this time?

[@marshallvanstee4777]

The problem with that thinking is, those "innocents" you talk about are hiding and harboring Hamas militants. It is very difficult to protect the "innocents" when they have Hamas Terrorists living with them.

Great point. Biden wants a law. R’s want EOs Trump can rip up, even if they’re working. MAGA loves hurting people much more than they like good policies.

[@Find-Your-Bliss-]

AMERICA = 2024?? We're a nation of frazzled families With little time for personal affection. As the treadmills of tension keep us hostage We're losing our perspective of direction. Racing to get the kids off to school, Navigating the madness of bottleneck traffic. Fearful of our own job-loss and income, While the newscasts get more hopeless and graphic. Helping our children with their homework Scrambling to prepare their dinner. Having family spats with loved ones And being told on Sunday, we're a sinner. Worrying about crime, taxes, border and terrorism Infectious disease and paying next month’s bills. Saving for college and our own retirement It's no wonder we drink, smoke, pray and pop pills. Show me a liar and you have found a thief Whose character is controlled by hell. They love what's wrong and hate what's right And they're lucky they're not all in jail. By Tom Zart!

Authoritarianism is a political system characterized by the rejection of democracy and political plurality. It involves the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, and reductions in the rule of law, separation of powers, and democratic authoritarian leadership style is described as being as "leaders' behavior that asserts absolute authority and control over subordinates and [that] demands unquestionable obedience from subordinates." Such a leader has full control of the team, leaving low autonomy within the group.The authoritarian person also presents a cynical and disdainful view of humanity, and a need to wield power and be tough, which arise from the anxieties produced by the perceived lapses of people who do not abide by the conventions and social norms of society (destructiveness and cynicism); a general tendency to focus

America developed and had a commanding lead in the alternative energy field.

I have no confidence that those same politicians won't stifle our leads in the new technology fields for the same reason. After 20 minutes of what was thoughtful, intelligent conversation here, I see one of them lapse into disingenuous doublespeak on a different issue.

Biden’s deported far more undocumented aliens than Trump or Obama. He withdrew Trump’s child separation & remain in Mexico policies & immediately asked Congress to enact a law that gave him $ to process legit cases, turn back others. That’s in the Constitution.This is why conservative Border Patrol, WSJ, Chamber of Commerce want the bill signed NOW. Repubs only opposed it when Trump demanded that. Rubio says Russia’s a major threat, then hold ip Ukraine funding when this border bill is strong enough to massively reduce illegal crossings & Fentanyl. He’ll let Putin take Ukraine unless he gets his way. Hypocrisy.

Politics has evolved into an occupation that allows very few men and women with an ethical character to survive in this environment. It is an experience that is primarily only viable if one is willing to take money and influence and understand PAY to PLAY controls outcomes . If one has ethics one will attract hard unrelenting retribution from forces one will never see coming. The very fact the polarities that now exist between political parties are epic and harmful is easily observed. The fact that a choice between Biden and Trump is the plate served to the American people is solid evidence the republic is already close to dead and just has not stopped breathing . How could any sane person with just a minimum of ethic concern look at politicians without wanting to involuntarily evacuate themselves.

Marco, we should stop relying on any President to use executive powers, to fix issues that should be handled by congress. Do your job! We need common sense laws drafted and passed with support by both parties. We have become so polarized, Presidents keep rolling back orders if the previous President wasn't on the same team. We currently have a divided government in terms of power, with no one party having enough power unilaterally, to fix these issues. The American people need to demand clean bills with no attachments. The attachments bog us down and we get nothing passed. Americans want to see more bipartisan led efforts to bring the temperature down in the country. We need to start with properly informing the public. For example, take these two together and put them on the airwaves, commercials and podcasts. However people consume media. We need to take these threats serioulsy. I'm a younger millennial and I see many people glued to their smartphones, every possible moment, mostly on social media all day. They would rather consume trash then spending at least five minutes a day, outside of social media, informing themselves on matters that can/will greatly affect their lives. We, as a country, need to stop being reactive, instead of proactive. America is still great, but we cannot remain on this trajectory without hurting ourselves and others. Bipartisanship is key!
