Rs and Ds alike, we deserve better and the same goes for our news industry

Politicians lie and mislead all the time and it's acceptable as long as they score narrative points against the other team.

Our news industry, what use to be considered an important pillar of democracy, the 4th estate does little more than sell whatever titlating story of the day is for ad revenue. Investigative journalism is practically science fiction at this point.


Does anyone think this is a sustainable place for democracy to survive? I wonder what our kids and grand kids will read in their history books one day about us, how we took our eye off the ball and allowed the failure of their way of life

I'm getting most of what I voted for

We deserve exactly what we are getting!

No we don't. Idiots vote for idiots.

No we don't, we are a trashy nation full of trashy indulgent shallow imbeciles. The minority of us that aren't, however, do deserve better.

D's don't deserve crap, so you lost me in the first sentence.

We voted in a reality show host. We got a reality show.

Meh. I can absorb a lot of this bull **** not to have communists run our country.

Let's not forget about our fearless leaders in the State either.

STAAR testing still alive and well. Dan Patrick is a cancer on this state. One of many, but he's the incurable one.

Theres lot of well educated people eating it up. Its entertaiment, a game to them and no more serious than A&M vs sip. I don't see how we avoid catastrophe

Nah, "we" get what we deserve.

Absolutely not. I've never voted for Trump, Biden, Obama or Harris.

There are other options. Stop being scared to vote for them and we don't have this problem. (i know pipe dream)

I've voted Libertarian in the past but this last election they took a wrong turn and joined the masses if they hadn't already

I voted for Perot in 1992. He's not an idiot.

How did THAT work out?

Our kids and grandkids deserve better. They aren't even complicit in the stupidity

Rs and Ds alike, we deserve better and the same goes for our news industry

Politicians lie and mislead all the time and it's acceptable as long as they score narrative points against the other team.

Our news industry, what use to be considered an important pillar of democracy, the 4th estate does little more than sell whatever titlating story of the day is for ad revenue. Investigative journalism is practically science fiction at this point.

No we don't deserve better. The majority of Americans that actually voted wanted this. So this infact deserved.

IMO a chunk of voters are here for the entertainment, even if they don't realize it's not suppose to be entertainment

more boo hoo whining and crying, Trump is delivering on his campaign promises. Where he can't it's because of a do-nothing congress and activists judiciary

Where he's about to finish off Little Bill is the superior gif

Agreed, but I didn't want to take a ban chance for "glorifying violence".

No one cares about your concern.

I dont recall your post when Dark Brandon, or whomever was handling his controller at the time, invoked Hitler by calling half of the country enemies of america.

Sit and spin loser

This country is hosed. It'll take generations to rectify the hatred and division that exists in this country. As long as one side hates the other, there'll be minimal cooperation to do what's actually best for the citizens. I'm glad I'm older and won't have to tolerate for decades to come. Life in the US will only get harder for everyone.

DeSantis deserved better. Everyone else is getting what they voted for.

One of the great truths of democracy is we usually get the government we deserve.

The most conservative piece of legislation ever put together is 2 votes away from passing, and the conservatives are going to kill it. Too busy throwing their tantrums to understand this is the beginning, not the end. Too principled to understand the legalities of the different types of bills and how to use them. We deserve this?

Much like Aggie athletics, if you stop watching lot listening to politics you will feel a whole lot better.

Very fake news.

Look at the results. Don't look at the personality. And know that Trump and the GOP (as weak as they can be) are the only thing from keeping us from communism, socialism, chaos, etc.

It's not that simple though. You're voting for left or right at this point. Look past the personalities and look to their vision of government. Leftism and all the hell it brings or liberty and freedom.

What piece had this much in tax cuts and spending cuts that made it through the house to the senate?

Here's the big political chip in this bill and what is going to happen if it fails.

To make a few things clear. I'm as fiscally conservative as it gets and we absolutely need to reduce the debt.

But unless you think the debt ceiling will never be raised again (it likely will need to be by August of this year unless you want a default) then you have to… https://t.co/wxW07jpZsk
