This bill is so dumb, like why are we even wasting time on it? It's not like it's going to make any real difference. I don't see how it's going to help anyone. It's just a bunch of politicians trying to look good without actually doing anything meaningful. And don't even get me started on the details of this thing, it's just a mess. But hey, did you know that this bill actually includes provisions for increased sanctions on Chinese officials involved in human rights abuses against the Uyghur people?
