The payments are being pondered by President Biden’s task force assigned to help reunify and compensate families snared by the Trump zero-tolerance border policy, which led to thousands of family separations....

The GOP RINOS could’ve traded this for the infrastructure bill’s passage.

But no.

They’re MORONS.

Its only paper money s/, and the Govt. controls the printing of it. Damn they are doing their best to make the USA like the Weimar Republic and Zimbabwe. WTF are they thinking? Come to the USA, bring the crime, terror and sickness here and you will be welcome, and receive 400+K?? Get the names of the people sponsoring this, and do what the Chinese would do to them. Its not a Civil war thing its another revolution. WTF are they thinking, and Who TF are they? Damn Congress needs to be purged to save this country. America will end up as the global laughing stock if it continues. (I think we are there already.)

They are trying to get a reaction, and they haven’t yet, so they’re trying more and more outrageous things. Sooner or later they’ll get the barn fire they’re seeking.

If the Donkeys push this through, they are going to get utterly destroyed in 2022 and 2024. I can’t imagine a more effective campaign ad for Republicans.

They really don’t care if they lose in 2022. The damage will already been done and they know the Republicans will not repeal any of these crazy pieces of legislative garbage.

“They really don’t care if they lose in 2022. The damage will already been done and they know the Republicans will not repeal any of these crazy pieces of legislative garbage.”

That right there is all truth. Noone, absolutely Noone is stepping up to fight for what’s right in this country mainly because of what I term “fake patriotism”. Many on this forum call ourselves patriots but are we really? No! We’re people who just spout our grievances on public forums that have zero effect. We keep voting for rinos who are in lock step with the uniparty and globalist. This country doesn’t have a spine or the will to actually fight anymore. Sad but true.

It’s almost like the dems are ruling like they know they don’t have to worry about next years elections.

The proper question is: How does passing all these ant-America directives and laws be far more important than securing re-election?

Could it be...SATAN!?!
