Out of curiosity, what do you want them to do?

They speak out, but most MSM in this country is owned by the billionaires and don't report it or back burner it. And republicans control Congress and block any attempts at accountability.

Remember when DHS wasn't funded? Dems put out no less than nine standalone bills to fund it and each time it was blocked by republicans because they wanted to give ICE more authority. Republicans also blocked legislation to release the Epstein files.

Well. See if you go back to the 1800s when we had some gusto and balls, members of congress literally fought one another, carried weapons, and also dueled each other. Now I'm glad we don't do that anymore, but they had balls then. Now our congress regardless of which party just sits there, makes a tweet, has a hearing and fucks off for 2 months.

Parties back in the day weren't so clean cut ideologically sorted like now. So we're basically stuck in fucked mode. But I at least respect our congresses of the past for having balls to actually do something now and then.

Congress is supposed to protect its own power. Not roll over and give it away while taking it deep.
