The 17th amendment should be abolished and senators once again appointed by the states to represent their interests. The house already represents the people, we don't need another popularity contest of over compensated duplicates.

Hey, speaker Johnson mustered every ounce of courage he possessed to get behind this shockingly provocative bill that criminal invaders not be allowed to vote. Cut the globalist cuck a break! He's exhausted from the strenuous fight. Might need to throw in the towel if questioned by an adversarial media presstitute. Aw hell, he should just give up now.

With the current corrupt Hawk Tuah Harris Confederacy currently grinding the wheels of justice, hasn't it become obvious that those of their largest campaign contributors involved in mergers are creating economies of scale as the driving motivation. Others doing the same mergers, but deemed less generous to the central party campaign coffers are obviously not creating the same economies of scale, but simply a monopolistic anticompetitive effort. 2:30 #leftistLogic
