Asking questions when something's not clear, not understood, or is just plain stupid. I'll no longer respond to DMs, but will often follow-back.

Does anyone find themself wondering when he uses the terms "nuclear option" and "filibuster" he thinks it's a bomb in our military arsenal?๐

More evidence of why voters need some form of recall for their lazy, ineffective - and now useless - elected reps. Recall is necessary. We've now learned that not having it is a weakness/fault of the Constitution. It shouldn't be too easy to do, but it SHOULD be doable. Let's start with 25A.

If Rs in both House and Senate are simply going to rubber-stamp Trump's actions, or "look the other way", what purpose are they serving?๐ค
