Let's Not Reward Congress For Doing The Bare Minimum 

And it's peculiarly American. It was invented in 1917 so they didn't blow too much money on WW1, & it has given them grief ever since. Bizarre.

She needs to be impeached!

@@Trund27 Uh, no, not now anyway. If she's removed from Office, our Republican governor will replace her (most likely with Martha McSally), and Mitch will be Majority Leader again.

she only listens to big company money

Sinema is a one-trick pony. One term.

@@Trund27 IANAL but it is my understanding that US senators can't be impeached.

Why right-wing so-called Christians -- especially pseudo-Christian politicians -- don't see themselves in Mrs. Betty Bowers is beyond me. .i have not yet found a single right-wing Christian nutcase who even knows who Betty Bowers is. (She flies under the radar for some folk.)

I’m a young mexican hustler trying to make it out the hood by doing reaction videos 🤒

We didn't pay our bill, though. Paying the nation's bill means that the national debt stops increasing. It didn't do that. It hasn't done that since Clinton was in office.

it's all to scare you. there's no way Joe Biden is going to be allowed to tank the economy. at the current state we're in the handlers would just have to pony up. there are things he can do to pass the budget reconciliation Bill all on his own. I forget what it is, but he will probably get impeached for it if he has to. someone that knows more about this would be better able to explain it cuz I'm doing a really bad job. 😂

@@intuitionz1198 , Biden isn't the problem. The problem is people who think holding the country at gunpoint in order to torpedo a Democratic bill is a good idea. (Meanwhile, when they added $2T to deficit via reconciliation for *already* rich people, Dems did no such thing). In other words, it's the same problem plaguing the nation all over: Republicans.

@@gladtravis How dare you. Republicans have been trying to take America back to the 1870s for years now. They haven't succeeded because of the Democrats. Democrats wanting women and people of color voting. Democrats wanting bridges that won't collapse. Democrats wanting people to get free community college. I really don't understand why people vote for Republicans when they don't actually support what the people want.

2017

The US government has shut down 21 times since the early 1970's. Rich entitled snots having a fit, holding their breath til the country turns blue (no, not a political reference). Great system you got there, USA.

Manchin is only protecting his corporate donors who make trillions while his constituents go further into poverty.

You should see how much Manchin’s daughter makes.

@@speshelme manchin isn’t even thinking of others. His entire fortune is based in a coal company he owns. We could burn natural gas for decades if it weren’t for coal plants. Coal is 20x more polluting. His own fortune is at risk. He is thinking of no one but himself.

Please, VOTE him OUT!!!!

The ship.. out of danger..? Do not grieve, Admiral.. It was totally logical.

Isn't that for all Vulcans? Tuvak did it too lol

🖖 🤨

They can share

So true. It wouldn't surprise me if he switched party after the next election. He walks and talks like a republican, so why not?

The turtle needs splinter

Manchin could probably win the presidency if he runs as an independent in '024... he'd pull a lot of support in the middle of the spectrum from both parties.

It is more likely that he will be like a trojan horse in the Dems

What Manchin really really wants is plenty of dark money without the need to declare it

Er, why bother crossing and returning with chicken only? I’m sure you meant to say, “take chicken and grain across; leave grain, return with chicken; leave chicken, cross with fox; return and collect chicken”.

And on the way back on the last trip, Manchin sinks the boat again...

@@irenemax3574 I suck at writing and simplify speech 🤣

The problem is impossible to solve because the chicken can only cross the river by itself, which is pointless since for the fox and grain to get across, you need to return the boat back with the chicken, resetting the problem. So your only 2 options is to either bring the fox across, or bring the fox across with the grain. The first option is again pointless because your only option is to bring the fox back with the boat. The second option has a similar problem, since the grain is an inanimate object, it can only be brought to either side with the fox, so the fox is left to sail with the grain back and forth with no desirable outcome. If by magic however the grain could go back by itself to the chicken, the chicken could then ride to the other side by itself, the fox could then go across to collect the grain and then go back to the chicken.

@@irenemax3574 I think one of the rules given is that you can only take one thing/animal at a time. Otherwise you could obviously just bring fox and grain as your first load and the chicken as your second.

Brilliant

Nice one! 👍😂They're not even willing to bridge the gap!

Robert, they couldn't care less about your home, kids, or the dog. All they care about is fattening their wallets and congratulating themselves.

It's the usual. Losers think they have smashed the glass ceiling and are in the elite now, so they pull the ladder up behind them. As long as their bellies are full and they can look down on someone, they're complacent.

@@mdmurray17 You are lost, congressmen are some of the most entitled people on the planet

@@Redridge07 at least they don't pay 0% on taxes plus get tax subsidies back every year for years, straight. #CorporateWelfareQueens

@@MaryAnnNytowl The median networth of US congress is $1M and much of the increased taxes on the rich would also increase taxes on themselves. ie, Mitt Romney, networth $250M, Mark Warner $215M, Rick Scott $220M, yet the right accepts the talking points from the GOP senate that increasing taxes on the rich would be bad for the average man.

“As a senator I’m entitled to plunge this country into crisis if I don’t get my way 😭😭😭” 🤦‍♂️🤪 hypocrite

I guarantee as climate change becomes (even more) apocalyptic some greedy corporate ghoul is going to come up with the idea to monetize air. And then their supervisor will inform them all inventions of salaried employees are the sole intellectual property of the company.

@Sparkling Cyanide. If you're responding to Greg Young, I believe he was being facetious.

@Sparkling Cyanide. chill mon, we still lovers here.

manchin and sinema are down-the-middle corporatists and do not represent anyone but those that do not pay taxes. exploitation protecting its own. the french once started a revolution for far less than this oligarchic hellscape.

Thats True. Same thing happened here in Australia 20n years ago. Elected by progressives and voted conservative. Plz stay safe

@@climatedeniersbelonginasyl4191 Arizona voted for Biden and both their senators are now democrats. She’s no longer popular with the very people who worked to get her elected.

Disagree. The late-night shows are becoming more and more like propaganda for certain ideological viewpoints, where the expression of contrarian ideas is not tolerated. Seth Meyers was the first and the worst offender in this regard, then Trevor Noah and John Oliver joined in, and now sadly even Colbert is starting to drift into this territory. The only late-night host that i still trust is Bill Maher.

it's not as sad as it is manufactured to be that way. You all worship your celebrities. It's called mass psychosis. You're all being brainwashed.

and i would never in a million years regard this or any other contemporary late night show as comedy and satire. satire is dead.

Back in the times of kings and queens, i think the jesters of that time did the same, pointing out things about those in power that others could never have gotten away with saying.

And payment is not dependent on performance! They should get no pay for the days they didn't show up for a start, you know, like regular people!

Because while they let the working class go to hell in a handbag, they the Congress , Senate and Representative kept low-key voting themselves in for another pay raise. Nobody is watching the hen house

Pay cut? They're rich. Take away their congressional gold star government healthcare.

Just like with the ACA! Started out a great program, then got butchered by the Republicans and DINOs, then by the end it was so gutted it hardly did anything, and not a single Republican ended up voting for it.

My dear, the USA and its government are run by the banking/finance corporations, big pharma, big tech and the military/industrial complex - all filthy rich off the back of Average Joe. They would never vote against their own interest.

That should have been an amendment ages ago!

But they vote for their own amendments, don't they? They'll never slash their own pay!

A good democracy is strengthened by "Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition." Leaving aside being a republic, it's the "loyal" (not insurrectionist) part that has *long since* departed from the GQP - ever since Gingrich.

@@leesilm.4432 Judases, huh? Explains how they got those silver pickaxes.

He’s right, tho. We can’t settle for a step above shit.

You must be out of your mind if you think last four years nothing was done. Biden managed to destroy this country in just few months being in the office. Border is a disaster, inflation is through the roof and Americans are stuck in Afghanistan because of the disastrous pull out.... thanks to Biden. Not to mention defund the police movement. Crime is rampant in democratic run cities.

​@ThoughtCrime This country was destroyed after World War II. Watch the 1942 USDA film *Hemp For Victory* and ask yourself why you've never heard of it before. No one knows how important this is. While everyone is arguing over insane internet conspiracy theories, there's a government video online from World War II that tells Americans to grow "Marihuana" to defend our country. That's video proof of an actual government conspiracy that has lasted for 75 years. The war on drugs has turned our police, Federal agents and even our military against us, and this information is not secret anymore. *Hemp For Victory* has been public since 1990. It's just that no one cares. Not even legalization activists have made a real point about this. There was even a bill in Congress titled the *Hemp For Victory Act of 2019,* but no one noticed because no one knows what *Hemp For Victory* is. This 14-minute government video changes everything. This plan is how to defund the war on drugs, reform the criminal justice system, reduce unemployment, reduce poverty, reduce homelessness, reduce world hunger, reduce crime, reduce pollution, replace fossil fuels, end deforestation, provide for our common defense, and stop climate change.

I love the thought of "Minimum Wage". What is the very Least amount we can pay you.?? Minimum amounts of money, no matter how well you perform your job. It is that kind of thinking that really gets to me.😳

@@Marijuanifornia So who was in charge for that? Sounds like a great "plan". What happened???

They'll never do that; it would be honest.
