    "You know, when you guys start acting democratic, I'll be sure to call you 'democratic'"
    This testifies of Boebert's childlike mentality and the unwillingness to meet in the middle. Boebert should not have said that. There was an opportunity to build up, and she broke that down with just saying that. A pity.

    As soon as I looked at the “anti inflation bill” I was like no this is an inflation.

      The Dems always name their bills 180° opposite of what they want, it's their tactic to fool people. Example: The AFORDABLE health care act aka Obama care. We all know how that ended up.

      But it did ease inflation, you can burry your head in the sand all you want but you can't ignore reality. The reality is Trump did far more to cause the inflation than Biden did. Biden's policy works, and if you understood how politics work you'd see that. Probably should step out of your right wing propaganda echo chamber from time to time.
