  1. Gotta cut me a little slack, I am at work....lol
  2. Border - A++ (Giving ++ because Biden claimed he needed Congress to fix the border) Crime - A Economy - C+ Foreign Policy - B+ Overall - B ++
  3. No surprises from the peanut gang
  4. None of that matters, including your opinion. There are not term limits and we didn't even put a term limit on the President until 1947...and that was due to a Democratic President serving 4 terms.....although he only made 11 weeks into his 4th term....and Democrats up in arms about Trump....LOL The Congress Accountability Act was passed in 1995, 390-0 House and 98-1 Senate (ironically Robert Byrd was the only one that opposed it) - signed in to law by Pervert and Chief Bill Clinton. Like it or not, it was set up not to bankrupt Congressmen when sued doing their job. With the sweeping votes on both sides, both sides thought it was necessary and it will never go away.....
  5. Congressmen are powerful people who's reputation is valuable to them for reelection. The accusations of wrong doing morally or criminally can end a career. There are many, probably majority of congressmen that would have a hard time paying for attorneys to clear their name on a 175K average salary. Settlements are cheaper that a long court battle. We don't want to discourage people running for congress. Below is an example. Example, I built a home years ago and had to hire an attorney because my home builder was not paying for materials. He was trying to build a second house and charge materials. I was 150% in the right, and an easy case......however, his attorney said I owed him money because I didn't pay him for some of his work. His attorney said they would settle for $7000.00. I was a hard no, lets take this thing to court. My attorney wisely advised that if we had to go to court, his bill would be north of 10K. Then he advised if the jury find me liable for $1.00, I would be responsible for their attorneys fee's which would be more than his..... I was left with pay 7K and close on my house or risk paying north of 20K and postpone my closing by months...... So, I'm not totally against this "slush" fund.....
  6. Not a good look for Gavin...... But at the same time, if they still vote for him, maybe he is right..... Biden got majority of the black vote, and said if you don't vote for me, you ain't black..... Hillary claimed she kept hot sauce in her purse....... I guess, sometimes the truth is not a good look.
  7. Why would anyone try to understand a platform that you can hear directly from Congressman and politicians when you can just wait for CNN to tell you what they said😂
  8. Biden did the same thing paying off college debt for votes…. Trump is using another statute, he is not defying the court……and you know that…..
  9. Do you disagree with price gouging laws? Banks have had restrictions and last 20 years have had to jump through hoops to stay profitable Research Frank - Dodd Act - Obama Credit Card Act 2009 CRA 1977 - (big one that causes banks to loan to lower income) I’m not big on government oversight, but at the same time I do not like predatory lending
  10. I honestly think the 10% cap on credit cards is a great idea. The point about they would only give cc’s to people with high credit scores that had less of a risk to pay it back and not to people who have bad credit scores is a win for the bank! The truth is, it is a win for customers who get credit cards, go crazy and spend more than they can afford…. There’s also a way around that, limit risk by limiting exposure. The person that got a $2000 credit card limit with 30% interest, now gets an $800 credit limit at 10%. As for mortgages and taxes….it is typically not the loan that gets you, it’s the taxes and insurance that consistently goes up. I’ve always wanted a house on the water, but flood alone was $3900 a year….add windstorm and fire policy, along with taxes, that would add almost $1000 a month to your mortgage
  11. Is it? Members of Congress has seen everything unreacted. If they’ve seen evidence, name the names
  12. The details are unproven hearsay….. someone can say something, but if there is no evidence to prove it, what good is it. ?
  13. There is another tread somewhere where everyone thinks it is in bad taste. Trump gave an explanation - some understood, some didn't
  14. Because he disagreed with the ruling and will find other avenues? Don't you think you're being a little dramatic? The Biden administration not protecting the Supreme Court Justices and using a heavy hand to prevent their assaults or murders when Roe vs Wade was overturned would be closer to a constitutional crisis than this......but I believe you were silent on that
