    I watched it. It was typical Democrat bs.

    Now that they’ve lost the House, they are talking about the PRO act, Build Back Better etc.

    There was China bs.

    There was police stuff which ended, literally, with “do something.”

    Some shouting from Majorie Taylor Green and other Republicans.

    Apparently, he’s capped Insulin at $35 for seniors which is good. And he got the Republicans to admit they won’t cut social security or Medicare.

    But that just means they’ll cut other needed things. No mention of medicaid and how millions of people are gonna lose it by May. So that’s something very worrying.

    On guns he said “ban assault rifles”.

    I don’t remember much else. I was partly drunk.

    E: Oh yeah, lots of calls for bipartisanship.

      I would like to remind everyone, again, that out of about 90k gun deaths and 45k gun murders a year assault rifles are used in, like, idk, maby 2k tops if you really massage the numbers, but really more likely somewhere between 500-1k?
