Now that the speakership drama is over, what should the GOP house's priorities be?

We'll see

To what end? They can't get it past the senate and Biden wouldn't sign it anyways. Welcome to the next 2 years. That's why the red wave not happening was so important.

But the House controls the purse strings.

I get that but I'm just not too hopeful that we're going to get much accomplished. We'll see I suppose.

It’s the largest communist country in the world. Period.

China and Russia haven’t caused any problems for me and a lot of my “stuff” gets made in China. Why would I wish them harm?

COVID was a not a problem?

Hmm. Interesting take.

Nope. Should I “bomb” everyone with the sniffles?

I believe our government’s response to covid was a travesty, though.

VERY TRUE, BUTTTT.......the growth of what WE call companies/enterprises but in China are just side door business ventures that many/most? of the commie party apparatchiks profit off, sticking the money aside for themselves......SO it makes me wonder watt WILL happen WHEN the upper levels of the commie party die off.......it will be the families of the ones with the bux secreted away by the 'managers'......the human yearn for the yen has spread to China too....in a BIG WAY, apparently, from some pix of China cities these daze, full of NYC type buildings, in the business regions, not slums......I see propaganda pix of China burbs, and even though they look like apartments , they seem decent and clean outside......NOW just how legit any of those pix ARE in reality, I dunno.....

China was getting put in its place by Trump renegotiating trade. China, in turn, unleashed the Wu flu on the world to retaliate. Sure, they suffer, but so does everyone else. I also believe the intentional release was done in conjunction with at least some of our own deep staters, so desperate to rid the country of Trump they were willing to kill millions to do so. TDS is powerful. And I get that would be a huge tin foil hat conspiracy theory.....if we didn't know that our own government was funding the Wuhan lab. Why would we fund weapons research with our biggest rival? Why would we do the same in Ukraine? I hope Russia doesn't leave until they blow the **** out of ALL our bioweapons labs in Ukraine, including killing all the scientists working on those WMDs.

Yep.

And it's why the libs are all too happy to suffer economically, wear masks, and take however as many boosters as they are told necessary.

I still don’t know a single person that died from this “pandemic”. What are the odds? I know lots of folks harmed by the government’s response, though.

FTR, one of my additional duties while on active duty was as an NBC NCO. Warning signs for a bio attack are dead bodies, people, animals, etc. Should have been “mobile crematoriums” all over the country.

Some maskless birthday party goers during the height of the “pandemic”, posted below.

I’ve never seen a report on the differences created by Trump’s renegotiated trade deals. Do you have a link?

Yeah, but Schitty Schumer will NEVER allow it to come to a vote in the Senate. I want all these pricks on the record. ALL OF THEM....We weren't meant to have a permanent ruling class. Since they won't self limit, ****'em, it needs to be the law of the land.
