It’s all theater. Both sides are exactly the same in substance, the only difference is the rhetoric.
100% correct. I realized that during the first two years of President Trump's term when the (R)s had control of the House, Senate, and W.H. and yet failed to pass, or even bring to vote, some of their "signature" priorities.

Well, Obama is the President right now, so, there you go.

Yep. Obama taught me that. I hated Bush and his wars, and voted for Obama to stop them. Instead he kept them going. He also didn't bother to do anything about NAFTA but made sure the corporations had cheap labor pouring in from other countries.


Anyways, so is the tax per mile going to happen?

Yep, and it also made me question the true intentions of Trey Gowdy and Jason Chaffetz who were alot like Rand Paul, speaking sense, but then left their positions as soon as Trump got elected.

And the same with Obama's first two years. I was hoping he would try to make Marijuana legal on a federal level so innocent people can stop being harrassed and jailed by the corrupt system. But he didn't even touch on it, and the drug laws are the most racists type of laws there are.

This bill followed by another 4 trillion dollar bill. The numbers are attrocious but the actual details/programs/edicts are probably just as appalling. This is funding political transformation under the guise of 'a bill' which is why the leftists want a large bill. They don't want it read. This is just not a bill. 'BIPARTISIAN' doesn't mean squat it just means they worked together on a smoke filled backroom deal. The msm is sucking on that word 'bipartisian' like a straw. This is an agenda bill.

Some Republicans finally grew a pair and voted for progress. Trump threatens but is a useless POS who could have been the infrastructure President and saved himself but we are still waiting for his much touted plan for that and for healthcare.
