What we are seeing on a daily basis, here on this board, and in the media is a basic misunderstanding of basic Civics. Our government was designed by the Founders to move slowly, deliberately.

Your personal point of view does not always become the law of the land and in today's Executive Order driven world, the law of the land is being ignored on purpose. The courts have been weaponized to stop or slow any viewpoint contrary to that of the party in power.

Conservative Sky Screamers are now calling for the ouster of Speaker Johnson. Why? The Republican's have the slimmest of majorities and many of its members are RINOS. Then, there are the bomb throwers who are blind to the political realities of leadership and whose frustration is misguided.

Biden is in charge of the Border.
Biden is in charge of the Justice Department.
Biden is in charge of foreign policy.
Biden is the Commander in Chief.
Biden is the person placating China and Iran.

The Democrats control the Senate. Was there voter fraud in states like Georgia and Arizona? Of course there was. Was there ballot harvesting on an industrial scale in Pennsylvania? Of course there was.

If you want change, it won't be instant. It won't happen today or tomorrow. It can happen after November 5. Aim your emotive cannons at the true enemies of our American Republic. Do so by voting and encouraging others to vote.

Be patient, be prepared.

We are a broke country, stop sending money we don't have to other countries. The conversation needs to start there, then look into other items to help the people here.

Technicality.
I'd argue most bills are designed and developed elsewhere (executive branch, senate) and handed over to the house.

Everything is pretty much chambered in both sides of congress regardless of who has the technical role of starting the process.
