Members of congress should be required to divest of their businesses just like the president is supposed to do. (Pee Wee Herman voice) “Supposed to do!” They get paid enough, but lawmaking has become a get rich quick scheme instead of a public service & it’s attracting a lot of grifters & psychos.

So much for the "tough on crime" party. They're the actual criminals.

Yes, Texas! Of course it would a congressman from Texas! I wonder how long he held back his vote until the silencer issue was included?

So they’re rolling back EV tax breaks and handing them over to silencers for guns? Really? Because nothing says ‘safety’ like school shooters using silencers—and being cost-effective about it.

There is always a grift.

What’s funny is when I first glanced the headline, I thought this might be about my NC Senator Burr who ALSO owns a gun store - how many GOP congresspeople own gun stores?

This will take hard work
but it shouldn't make it to a vote
This is going to be very hard and take almost two long but this "beautiful bill" is a vile monster that should be DOA
If you have a Republican in Congress rear them down
