I idle at 5 x 1000 RPM. If all you have are excuses, I don't have time... or ears. I view American exceptionalism the same way I view religion and hate; no one is born believing it. They believe it because they were told as a captive audience.

America's problems and many of the solutions to those problems are clear. We don't need to discuss them with people who have no intention of helping. That's why "debating" people like Charlie Kirk was a waste of time. He didn't want to solve problems; he pointed fingers and ignored facts for money.

Greene: "I will praise Nancy Pelosi. She had an incredible career for her party. I served under her speakership in my first term in Congress and I'm very impressed at her ability to get things done. I wish we could get things done for our party like Nancy Pelosi was able to deliver for her party."

The American taxpayer will truly be owed an itemized bill for everything that Trump and Republicans have cost the United States. From 2016 to a forensic accounting of what we will have to expend to pay for his malicious actions and restabilize our country; here and abroad.
