You fantasize about watching McConnell and Trump as they shoot themselves in the head with a .357 in front of a television audience?

Fantasy time? Give Rachel Maddow half the time the Rs got to question HRC in the Benghazi investigation (say 4 hours) to question Trump under oath regarding 1) his foreign and domestic policies over the last 3 1/2 years, and 2) his tax returns since 2014, which he must disclose by affidavit 14 days in advance and which are shown on a video screen as he is questioned about them. This within 1 month prior to election day 2020.

And if Maddow is unwilling or unable, then a representative of USCHO elected by the current membership.

Would need to be a woman questioning him.

His head would explode within 5 minutes

After replying to this, I'm going to sit my phone down and meditate for a few minutes to calm down. It takes a lot for me to get enraged, but this Tweet is quickly getting me well past that point.

I was never a fan of the 2001 Patriot Act. I have long felt that it was too much overreach with poorly thought out rules. Parts were allowed to sunset, and I mostly forgot about it during the later W era, and while hoping that it would die under Obama, it was largely forgotten.

Despite it's potential for nefarious use, nothing noteworthy ever seemed to come about because of it. Or at least, nothing was reported. Out of sight, out of mind.

And now, Moscow Mitch is making it way easier for real life The Man in High Castle's Herbert Hoover (Barr) to monitor dissenting citizens? That TV series was NOT to be used as a goddamed road map.

They were always projecting. This is what they have always wanted to do. They want an authoritarian intelligence state. They want WalMart death camps.

They just want to run them.

Doesn't the House of Representatives have to agree to the Amendment? I find it hard to believe they'd do that.

Yeah fighting it is moot now. Like a bunch of us said, by Memorial Day no matter the numbers the idiots will force the country open. All we can do is be smart and let them Darwin themselves out now. I have no issue extending my personal Shelter in Place policy.

As I said before, your "war president" has surrendered. After two months. Without even fighting.
