Those 12 or so hold-outs, seem to have very limited knowledge as to what exact powers that the House of Representatives is limited to: Impeachment, initiation of revenue bills, oversight and investigation, approval for seating a new Vice-President and approval for treaties with foreign nations. \nThey cannot pass laws, cut funding for anything etc without going through the US Senate. \nThey will waste their 1 year and 10 months on these pressing issues:\nAttempting to hold the US economy hostage by threatening to hold-up a vote on the \"debt-ceiling\", unless their demands are met.\nInvestigating Hunter Biden and his laptop.\nInvestigating Dr. Fauci and \"the origin of Covid\" - effing laughable on every level.\nAttempts to impeach President Biden for simply being a Democratic president sitting in the White House.\nAttempts to impeach Sec Mayorkas for the failure to secure our southern borders.\nInvestigating The DOJ and FBI for their \"gross over-reach\".\nAttempts to impeach Merrick Garland ... ya know just because.\nHopefully, the people who voted them in will soon realize that all of their pre-midterm bluster about the economy etc was just that ..bluster and bullshit.

Personally, I would’ve thought there would be more humility and discussion of important topics for the American people. Instead, he proposed to end “wokeness in schools” and “investigating the Afghanistan withdrawal.” Not to mention, they’re still pushing border security (whatever that means).\nHaving said that, what I found most chilling was when Rep. Jeffries was giving his speech and stated that America was a diverse nation of people from all backgrounds and races, the GOP just sat there with their arms folded.

The higher education and school system is full of quanon nut jobs as professors and administrators. Agricultural and oil industry works hard to ensure education is hard to get and only want to partner when they have bad PR cases then they reach out to higher education to offer a couple of classes for their employees then when the publicity changes they go back to actively work against education except for their charter schools which they hope to raise indoctrinated kids (yup we have a charter school by an agricultural company). I have had swastikas drawn on my car where I work. The relatively cheap cost of housing comes with immense racism, misogyny, homophobia/transphobia and we have incredibly high crime and health issues. PLUS, we have absolutely nothing entertainment wise to do so you end up driving to LA anyway. PLUS, if you get sick no one here who has good health insurance utilizes our hospitals or doctors beyond just getting referrals you have to go to LA or Bay Area to get the medical assistance you need. We have had people move to Bakersfield then immediately get a job elsewhere as soon as possible as they realized that yes the cost of living is low economically, but the high cost of your health more than outweighs the relative cheapness of getting a house." ]
