Congress can do something, but you need more than 50 to get it done and the potato is the problem. Not the Republican Senators

When I'm ice t people are being killed I think the least our elected politicians can do is camp on the floor until it's stopped. If the democrats want that to go until the mid terms than so be it. Right now our guys are making it really easy on them with all their speeches to the news. That is not leadership, it's pandering to your base.

What does camping on the senate floor do? I'm curious as to what you think will happen if they start doing that?

At least out 'pandering' they're able to tell us what the liberals are blocking and what they're trying to do. If they're on the senate floor just talking amongst each other, nothing will be accomplished. The pressure will come from the moral outrage by getting information to the people to apply the pressure on the liberal hold outs

For one it brings national attention to the fact that the potato is still buying Russian oil. Much more so than an interview on Fox.

If the republicans do this they will have democrats join them. Plenty of demorats will join I am positive. This will pressure Pelosi.

It happens on the Hill, not in the TV studio.

If there were plenty of democrats that would join, they'd have a veto proof sanction package. Don't you think they'd already do that if plenty of them would join? You've got maybe 3 or 4 democrats willing to put that in front of Biden. Where are the other 14 votes coming from?

From the pressure that will be mounted by a non stop Ukrainian support on the floor that exposes their complicity.

Nothing will happen if you sit in River Oaks and tell everyone I told you so and "I tried"

I get it you don't think any value comes from the politicos talking in the floor. But that's how it's done. The more it happens the more everything is exposed and the left can't hide. Plenty of Ukrainian supporters in all their districts.

Instead let's all sit back, do some scripted interviews, point finger at the potato and Pelosi. Brag about your failed legislation that could have helped. Meantime we keep buying Russian oil funding the killing of Ukrainians.

Obviously, I think there is a lot more these guys can be doing. I get it you don't.

I don't get all this crap on Russian oil purchases. Yes, it was 595 MBO per day in November 2021. February 2022 it was 89 MBOPD. Refiners are just trying to maximizing their blends. Although we are now a net importer of crude, we export 500-600 MBOPD more of refined products than barrels of crude we import.

It makes no sense why Biden allows the purchase of Russian and Iranian oil. We can buy it elsewhere. That's my point. Scream it from the rooftops and especially on the floor until America wakes up.

Stop it now.

They tried to impose sanctions last month. Democrats shot it down.

Now they are all over Biden's wick clamoring for sanctions.

Blame the Democrats.


This, Cruz has been pressuring sanctions since Nordstream 2 sanctions were lifted by Biden. Democrats took it to the point of forcing a filibuster vote. Biden finally listened yesterday. Now theyre pressuring to stop all oil imports from Russia and open drilling back up and remove the federal gas tax. People need to follow their elected reps closer.

Following them daily. Emails and calls. So far guess what,

We are still buying Russian oil. It hasn't stopped.

It's all political double speak.

Russian war effort is dependent on money. They get money from selling oil. $40 oil is better than $100 oil in order for them to not have money. No customers is even better.

Make sense now?

Roughly 13% of the worlds oil currently comes from Russia.

> Have you ever been more disgusted with our elected officials

The absolute low point for me was when our entire government from local to federal stood down to let the steal happen. Everything that's happened since then is a consequence of that.
No, I don't care what CNN or MSNBC said this time
