    1. Texas is turning blue by popular vote, but Republicans have gerrymandered it to all hell. Texas Supreme Court ruled against Republican redistricting twice in the past decade and they just gave the courts the middle finger and did what they want. Texas is a shell of what it used to be.

    2. @Fred A Well, the grass is always greener saying has been around forever for a reason. I agree 💯% though on need and value of vote!

    3. They are jumping like Rats from the sinking ship 🐀 🐀 🐀 💋
      The writing is on the wall .
      Thanks Joe 🤡👍👍👍👍

    4. @Dave Waldon Oh, you mean like 45’s (all the “best people “) admission? Kinda simplistic to blame Biden for something that has happened in almost every mid-term in 50+ years😂.

  1. Political office is not a career, it’s a privilege to serve the citizens of this great country.
    Stop the corruption of Political parties within our government.
    They are civil servants that work for the people!!!

    1. @kingoftroll a career/job,call it what it is,with all respect.
      That’s the point!! Everyone goes nuts at their career/job,face it, people put their own personal greed before doing the JOB/career they were hired to do.
      In real life,haha, the working class would get fired, lose everything they have,have a record for life in a heartbeat if anyone one of us pulled 1/10 the illegal activities that politicians/civil servants do, That we know about,there’s probably more they got away with.
      My point is simply, you can only do the JOB/career if you are qualified to do it.
      Not what race,creed, gender,
      If you can’t handle the job,and do it correctly, and honestly, then what gives you the right,No,The privilege to represent the people of the country that you work for?
      With all respect 🙏

  2. They are abandoning a sinking ship. Speaking of sinking ships: *Another top CNN executive resigns as WarnerMedia CEO cites ethical lapses.* NPR 2/16/22

    1. AOC claimed we only have 10 years left. That was 2 years ago. Now she says democracy will be gone in 10 years. I guess she’s not good at math.

    2. Climate change is happening whether you like it or not, a lot of changes will be irreversible. Once that doomsday glacier falls into the sea, you will see

  3. The problem with both parties politicians is they are cowards and they never want to do anything hard. If you ran last time and won and you didn’t do a good job. Don’t retire and try to do something else. Stay and get held accountable for your record.

    1. A 50/50 Congress was already a recipe for disaster.

  4. I guarantee we’re about to hear a whole lot about election interference for 2 straight years from the same people that talked about the sanctity of elections over the past year.

    1. @Shane Alan While there is corruption in both parties I still have to say that republicons take it to a new level. Case in point: when Democrats see something wrong (in some raised by the public) most of the time they will try and fix it. This is why there is the House Select Committee on Jan 6. When republicons see something wrong instead of fixing it so it won’t happen again they see that as green light to out do what was done. Case in point: whenever anyone points to a republicon doing something the response you get is well the democrats did it… That does not desolve the fact that they broke the law. I would also add that when the republicons elevate the severity of what was originally done. Trump was impeached twice for serious violations; trying to subvert an election by extorting a foreign leader and the second time for inciting an insurrection to overturn a free and fair election. The response I get from republicons is well bill clinton escaped the impeachment which was over a lie about a freaking blow job. The 2 are not even close.

    1. @Walter Simmons Noted, but I actually don’t recall mentioning any party in general. I meant across the board if there was a misunderstanding.

    2. @notahouse as if any Jones fans could or would even want to Govern. No skills, no preparation, no brains..Big Mouths, Big Talk.

    3. @notahouse No problem, I just didn’t see a counter sqad that actually had young people pushing a conservative radical agenda through Trump. Like the crazies on the socialist side pushing their agenda through Biden. I’ve known about Joey for years, I never saw that he was a moderate. Plus both sides hate moderates. If I was wrong Tulsi Gabbard would be V.P right now instead of the “Cackler Harris who’s probably helping Jill tuck Joey into bed by now. Correction he’s already long asleep. My bad. LETS GO BRANDON !!

    1. @Sean McCartney pelosi said its a free market, you know the leader of the house. guess liberals now have to encourage insider trading to get ahead.

    2. @Sean McCartney Actually Pocahontas added a rider onto it yesterday so they are limited in what they can invest in, but they also don’t have to pay capital gains until they sell and if they die then their heirs don’t have to pay anything. They will make millions!

  5. We need term limits. Also age caps FOR SURE. There are literally people with Alzheimers who won’t retire.

    1. @Barr Stool Did you know Congress members have their own pharmacy? Look up the number of dementia related prescriptions filled from that pharmacy, it’s an eye opener.

  6. It may have something to do with the fact that the majority of representatives are dinosaurs and obsessed with power.
