"Responsible people" -- yes, that's it. We're not dealing with responsible people. Besides, the system can run without the POTUS. In fact, Biden has been little more than a figurehead at times.

Which in itself is one of the constitutional aberrations that now define our democracy. With Bibi's visit maybe the chamber can wave Israeli flags. I don't see why Ukraine should be honored in such a way and not our "greatest ally."

I'm guessing you'll see plenty of U.S./Israeli flag lapel pins and the like.

I saw an ad last night online for exactly that.

Well, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see plenty of Israeli flag wavers in the Chamber. After all, Ukraine is just a temporary patsy that doesn't have anywhere near the $$ or other holds over Congress like AIPAC et al does.

Even in a parallel world, there's isn't an American politician waving a flag from a black country.

The System is not run by the POTUS, Bill.

It is run by America's Ruling Political Class and Deep State.

And has been for a very long, Long time.

And in some cases, to say nothing of predatory and parasitic on many of the people of the rest of the Planet.
