Today in Congress 01AUG 2019
"Bipartisan" is a swear word. Watch any proposed legislation that is labelled as Bipartisan! Anytime politicians combine effort, civilians get screwed. In this case: Raise the Debt Ceiling!
The bill suspends the public debt limit through July 31, 2021. On August 1, 2021, the limit will be increased to accommodate obligations issued during the suspension period. (#TURNDOWNFORWHAT)
These are the WARLORDS that everyone is afraid will take over if we abolish the government. They're already in power, managers of the plantation. Think about it. Why do they take tax cuts themselves if taxes are righteous? Why do they live in large homes, sometimes many, and take private jets if they actually believe in economic conservation? I'm not saying they should be forced to have less! I'm saying that they're HYPOCRITES who will SAY AND DO ANYTHING to remain in power, including SHILLING FOR FALSE NARRATIVES that keep us going to the VOTING booth like rats hitting a feed bar for pellets!
Let's wake up, fam.
