Congress is in session. These people are being paid by taxpayers to sit in a courtroom and show support for a criminal and a fraud.
This is why the 118th Congress is the least productive in nearly 100 years. They care more about parading in front of cameras and bending the knee

We have to stop voting for people whose loyalty lies with an individual or a party instead of their country.
