Right now all high prices and economic problems are Biden's fault. But it's a great fantasy I'm sure Miller and Fox will love to promote.

That "leader" of ours Hakeem Jeffries needs to step up and be useful for a change. I can't believe he's not willing to pursue impeachment for Hegseth.

That seems so odd to me. If you're bothering to vote, you must already have an opinion on the issues. I don't put it past human nature to want to say "I voted for that item/person that won," but I don't quite see how seeing how others voted would make you change your opinion.
