i think its been said 6 or seven times that both sides are guilty.you say the gop gets hurt and the gop says the dems will be hurt???how come we can not find common ground on these common sense issues?? the budget has to be a common sense issue as it effects everyone.

I just want to get rid of pennies, Australia did it years ago. Then we can move toward the metric system like the rest of the world.

Both parties are at fault. What we now have is multiple highly successful businessmen along with some intelligent Cabinet Members bringing management to Government as opposed to political rhetoric. Run government like a well run company is all the American middle class are asking for. Without checks and balances you have chaos and what we have now is a system riddled with more corruption and wasteful spending than anyone could ever imagine. We all voted for change, well this is the face of change.

Does anyone think if Harris / Walz won the election in November any of these issues would be surfacing or being addressed. That's an emphatic no. This Country is at an inflection point, how we got here can be debated forever and the answer is as a whole the manner in which the government has and is being run. Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Conservatives, Progressives and Moderates alike, I blame them all. They all have culpability here. How we got here is less important than how we right the ship and move forward.

We have highly intelligent people in office voted there by 77 million Americans to change the way government is being run. Let them do their jobs because the alternative is remaining on a crash course with bankruptcy.

its funny how January 6th is brought up all the time but no one talks about
the summer of fire???about the billions of dollars of destruction.about over taking police depts??how one person is charged with a crime and the other just has to say he's sorry.its always one sided but i think the American public voted different this time.i think that America is looking for a change.to me it looks and sounds like a bunch of soar losers,elected officials acting like children.

While we seem to be on government can anyone tell me what ever happened to the "Modern Fishing Act of 2018" and how much was spent on it and how it has helped the recreational fishing community?

Let's keep the big picture in view -

The world's richest man, with billions in government subsidies/tax breaks/contracts spread out between his various companies, spends 250 million+ dollars to elect Donald Trump.

Now he's given free reign to wreak havoc in the federal government, including firing the very employees who were tasked to regulate his business with the government.

I suppose in some universe that's called Draining the swamp. Next time you see Elon in the oval it might be him behind the Resolute desk and Trump standing at attention.

Trust me I am, had it gone the other way we would have to listen to Kamala with Oprah and Whoopi at her side, I'll take the lesser of two evils

[bunker dunker]

there was no fires or destruction??? someone gets charged with a crime and some else does it and they don't,equal justice???the only thing that is wrong with this 2 party system is that one party wants all the power and has forgot all about the people they were suppose to be watching out for.the voting public has told everyone that.i guess to some all of what the new president is doing or has already done is wrong but i guess the voters that gave him the election did it for a reason.

Please define what "wreak havoc" means in your post and how USAID had any regulatory influences on Elon Musk's businesses or the Department of Education for that matter. And then post how much money Soros contributed to the Harris / Walz campaign as I'm sure he expected nothing in return for his contributions. Just asking from a big picture perspective.

Just remember including Super Pac money, the Harris Campaign raised $2.9 billion in this election versus $1.8 billion for Trump and lost. And you think Elon Musk is the threat? The Democrats pissed off a lot of donors and are now trying to save face by interfering with the candidate America trusted and voted into office. The Democratic Party has lost its way, they had three candidates at different times on the ticket who collectively couldn't complete a cohesive sentence.

The way the liberal media and Democratic Party tried to con the American public into believing that Biden was not cognitively impaired and unable and not qualified to hold the office of the Presidency of the United States and the way that Democratic Party went about removing him from the ticket might possibly be the greatest fraud in American history involving any Presidential Election. So if we want to compare notes and look at the entirety of the big picture let's not forget what's happened over the last 6 months or for that matter over the prior administration's four year term.

Dave a few questions.. When you have Democratic members of Congress who are publicly saying they're going to take the fight to the street inciting violence against the current administration, isn't that a form of insurrection? When you have blue state Governors, Mayors and DA's who refused to follow Federal deportation protocols, isn't that a form of insurrection? When Biden, Harris and Mayorkas blatantly lied to Congress saying that the southern border is secure, isn't that also a form of insurrection? When Biden sends the National Guard to Texas to prevent Governor Abbott from protecting his own citizens from an invasion of illegal immigrants, isn't that an insurrection? When our own Governor Murphy says he's housing and illegal and will not confirm with ICE regulations, is that not also a form of insurrection? Would our Founding Fathers tolerate any of the above, don't think they would.

It's beyond time to start putting America and Americans first which starts with revamping Washington and reminding politicians and agencies that they exist to service the citizens of this Country and not the other way around.
