Hawley doing something not awful? Has hell frozen over?

He knows the bill is dead in the water. No way he'd support something sensible that had a chance of ever seeing bidens desk

They’re not going to vote against their own interests.

Oh, finally! I'm certain it's going to fall completely on its face, but at least they're finally acknowledging that the issue exists.

Great, hope it goes through. But why isn’t the judicial branch included?

I agree, but if we can clean up some of the blatant corruption in Congress then maybe the corruption in the SC and elsewhere can also be addressed.

I assume if the judicial branch were included it would be found "unconstitutional". Maybe this has a shot of getting through the supreme court and then we can go from there.

I'll be mildly curious to see how it will fail to pass.

That it will fail to pass is guaranteed.

Can’t fail if it doesn’t hit the floor. It will get caught in limbo. This will be the last we hear of this

Trump was born rich. I craps in golden toilet. He really never had a boss or had to worry about a paycheck. He surrounds himself with yes men. He love telling people what to do. He loves power. And the maga poor think he is like them.

I'm sure he was furious about losing the election. I bet there was screaming. I bet he had a epic rich man temper tantrum. I bet he throw things, kicked furniture...glad he didn't have a dog.

He stole our secrets and wouldn't give them back.

WE have to make sure this crazy dictator want-a-be never gets back in to power. Vote. Get everyone you know to Vote.
