Have they shown up to do anything? When they do, nothing good happens because they are so busy infighting that the rest of us are completely forgotten. We need more than a few who actually show up and give a shit.

There is no Congress

There is too much the establishment MAGA Dems agree with Trump on.

This is what, like the 5th cycle of:

American fascists wreck the govt., screw Americans & create chaos across the globe.

Followed by the Democratic party let back into power to clean up the mess, stabilize things, & soothe the citizenry but still ensuring things keep moving to the extreme right as agreed by the uniparty of America.

We the 1% oligarchs…

We the corporations….

We the profiteers….

As of this year the United States is the largest producer of oil in the world and should be energy self-sufficient in a couple years under current market conditions. Saudi Arabia represents slightly more than Venezuela as an importer into the US import market (75% of America’s energy needs are provided domestically). The full exploitation of shale oil has changed markets in the short term and could permanently alter the relationship between all of the Middle East countries and the US should the US so choose.

The most important point here might be paradoxical to some, but it is a political fact: sharing energy resources, without dependence, is a good policy. In the event the US no longer bought oil from Saudi Arabia it would have diminishing reasons to maintain such a close relationship with the US outside of the energy universe. That is not good for the US, as it benefits from the current Saudi relationship on so many other levels. In effect, the US needs to create a balance of sharing resources without creating dependence against other interests of the US in the region.

The bottom line is that, like so many others, you have incorrectly assumed something about the relationship between the two countries (i.e., the US “needs” Saudi oil in the sense of dependence). Given that, the premise of your question is incorrect. Frankly, Saudi Arabia is not in a position to “force the US” to do anything, much less ignore Saudi’s domestic policies. Likewise I am not sure that the US is in a position to tell Saudi Arabia to do anything either

And forget about the Law - John Roberts Chief Enabler of Trump abandoned the law and constitution a long time ago.

So where’s the protest outside of congress??

Americans should Have a three day nationwide strike, stay home, leave the streets empty and stop giving your money to billionaires..

No school, no work, call in sick..

Even a three day stop to that flow of money will fuck them up..

Stay safe inside and let ice chase each other..

It’s Blue Flu Season 🙏✌️💙🇨🇦

Congress is a bunch of pussies. It’s time for the belt fed boogaloo.

Just to be clear…

Democrats are taking heat for “not doing enough”. (Newsflash: they're in the minority) But still, most of them seem pretty unconcerned.

Republicans (in the majority) are coasting along, not doing ANYTHING while this administration trashes the US and the world order, to boot.

What WILL it take to wake these people the F--- UP?!

Do your fucking jobs and force America's Hitler out of the presidency! He's destroying the country, and you're enabling him! Do something you motherfucking cowards, especially the Republicunts!!!

As I see it, Congress is committed to ensuring that all Americans Citizens are Treated Poorly and that They Deserve to Rob Us Blind and receive Huge Pay Outs from Mudero and others just like Him.

Damn Every Single One of Them To Eternity!
