    I for one hope that people put their feet to the fire to prevent this kind of dysfunction in the future.
    New rules for the Senate and the House to force bipartisanship. Such as allowing any bill or confirmation be allowed to go to the floor for debate if 40% of members vote to do so. No more committee chairs or speakers or majority leader unilaterally blocking actions.
    Return the votes needed for confirmation back to 60 in the senate with a caveat that if the vacancies exceed a certain % then the number drops to a majority. It was first lowered because Republicans blocked so many nominations that the judiciary couldn't function for lack of judges. OK, make sure they can operate but also make sure some are held to a higher standard requiring bipartisanship. To be safe make a rule that this rule can only be changed by a 75 or better vote. If this is implemented the Supreme Court will make a sharp turn to the middle as extremists won't get the votes. On this subject, do away with the pro forma sessions where someone bangs a gavel, says "The Senate is in session" bangs it again "The session is closed" and goes home. This is simply to prevent a president from making a recess appointment.

    Do what we the people want, work together, compromise if needed but get to work.

    Not to mention expensive. It's much cheaper when they go to hospitals insured rather than using the emergency room for non-emergency cases because the ERs can't refuse them. It makes ERs cheaper for all when needed because far fewer benevolence cases means paying patients don't have to pick up the slack.

    How about just deporting them when they show up at the hospital?

    What does that have to do with my point that he stayed home and tried to make it better, instead of running away and climbing a wall to a prosperous country?

    The Romans were uninvited illegal aliens were they not?
    Jesus healed the sick did he not?
    Moses instructed the Israelites not to sell any of the land permanently, because the land belonged to God and they were only foreigners living there (Leviticus 25:23).
    Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers for by doing that some have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.—Hebrews 13:1-2
    ON and ON...

    Because not everyone has the skill or training to do tech and about the time you start to make good money in tech they lay your ass off and replace you with an H1B from India at half the price.

    That argument can be had for anything. Not everyone has the skill, or patients for customer service, hard labor like moving furniture, or blue color work either know what I mean.
    Everyone's gotta start somewhere. And starting in blue state just provides more and better opportunities.

    Good think about tech right now, is you can learn online free, and work from home. So not much skill required for that. Just patients and practice.

    Now that IS fake news. Obamacare does not give any subsidies for them but illegal aliens may certainly get health insurance. They just have to pay the full price.

    The ACA uses Medicaid. Or don't you remember the lawsuits that Repubs won against Obama in regards to the ACA and Medicaid?

    Funny how you try and set the argument to only successfully pushed through.

    Tell me...what gun laws have Democrats tried to push through but failed due to Republicans blocking it?

    lol... so much for blue wave... Republicans gained several seats in house, senate highly likely to remain red and president Trump, who was supposed to lose horribly, lost a very tight election which took 4 days to decide... he ended up with the second highest vote count of any candidate in history... leaves the white house strong.

    You know, i don't feel too bad about this election. I actually have always liked Biden, i just think he won't last. Biden is going to disappoint the radical left and now he has the backing to do so as there was no blue wave and radical left movement rejected in house and senate races. Also, Biden is reiterating unity will be a goal and he knows AOC and the radical left need to be reprimanded as he seems to indicate he will have no patience of those who demonize the opposition. I just hope he stays alive for at least half of the 4 years... Biden is a democrat i could've voted for if he were younger. (not over Trump though).. closest to JFK democrat i can think of... the rest would make JFK puke.
