Floor debate on Sanders’ JRDs will begin around 1:30 p.m. ET, subject to change based on the Senate schedule.

    Uhhh I don’t spend any of my money on defense. I do pay my taxes though so I’m not arrested and can take care of my family…

    Why don’t you go do something about it instead of berate internet strangers? You’re a silly keyboard warrior not making any difference except for making yourself sound like a dumbass

        I wish they did. That would be nice. Big reason I voted Bernie in 2016 and 2020. Unfortunately I can’t make those decisions.

          Bernie in theory is relatively less bad for the general public of the banana republic.
          Throws a bone here and there, some proposals that are sure to be rejected and some empty progressive ,social sounding words to the plebs while at the same time fully supporting the evil imperialist war machine ravaging the world.
          But that was never a concern for the libs,painfully obvious recently when they closed their eyes to the genocide.
          As long as they benefit at the expense of others it doesn’t matter to them. “we have to think of the price of the eggs!” Now they’re surprised the rest of the world doesn’t really care about them getting a taste of their own medicine under Trump.
