    I've been in the States now for 20 years .. I still cannot fathom what the point of any of these hearings are ... does anyone ever get prosecuted for wrong doing ? Or is it just charade after charade after charade ... ?

      Nobody ever gets prosecuted who should. They just toss some underling in jail if it ever gets that far. But you are on the right track that its charade after charade. They need to pretend they are doing work to make it look like democracy is happening and collect a check. "Are you not entertained?"

      The leading problem with every Conservative’s and Libertarian’s “Liberty” argument is that none of you are capable of leaving the American people alone. That’s why your elected politicians have spent the past 50 years sabotaging a once effective economy and saddling the country with growing debt over counterproductive billionaire tax cuts.

      Right? I like my Folgers Select instant coffee over Maxwell House, but it still remains true that I can pay $8 for about a months worth of coffee. And on top of that, I can almost go to the store, buy a jar, get back home or to work, and mix it in hot water before I could get to the order window at the Starbucks locations near me. They always have a line out onto the streets and people pissed of honking at each other. No thanks to all that, but I respect Starbucks for being successful at getting so many people to go stark raving mad for a mediocre cup of coffee.

      First off, nobody buys Bernie Sander's books.
      He gets the government in power to buy up his books using tax payer dollars and then gives his books away for free. Kamala Harris did the same thing with her children's books.
      *This is called "corporatism" and is completely different than capitalism. In fact, it's totally socialism in every sense of the word. Bernie (and many in the DNC including Hunter Biden) forces hard working tax payers to pay for the garbage they create and you have no say in the matter*
      Hunter Biden's artwork was bought for $800M for a finger painting he did. You could have bought the most expensive Rembrandt and had money left over. The Mob never went away... they are still organized crime... they just changed their name to the DNC.

    I agree. Howard Roark wanted to do low rent construction, and they were all against him.

      Profits do not go into the GDP, and all the tax cuts by rand paul have only lead to the end of the 14th Amendment's Sec 4/Sec1
      ayn rand was a russian jew atheist and she did not tell the truth about really any a thing
      READ Article 1 S 8 P1 of the Constitution, because those words are actually the Fxxking Law of the white man!
      russian atheist jewish women are not aware of the white man's words. ayn rand hated Jesus and that is why rand ayn paul is a hater of Jesus too

    We're from the government, and we're here to help! You think $6 coffee is expensive, wait until you see how much government regulated coffee cost! It will taste like crap and yet you all will be fondly remembering the days when coffee only cost six dollars! Oh and cream, sugar, cinnamon... All that stuff was included! Ah the good old days.
