    Don’t threaten. Just sue him. Their entire strategy is to delay, because justice delayed is justice denied. Suing is the start of the process, so start it already, stop threatening to start it.

    The citizenry is without its duly elected representative. How can that be allowed? The other representatives should dig their heels in and hold up all congressional matters.

      The Speaker is doing that all on his own. The House has been kept out of session since the end of September. He says it’s because he’s unwilling to negotiate on health insurance funding, but many suspect it’s because he doesn’t want to be forced into an Epstein vote. Either way, he’s pretty much abandoned his duties.

      I’m curious, genuinely, what you think the practical result of shooting all the evil people would be? Do you think everyone across the political spectrum would just be happy about it and move on? Would it solve any actual problems other than temporarily vacating their seats so someone even more extreme can be elected in response to your shootings?

      I want folks who advocate for violence to just follow the thought a little further, take it on a walk and see where it ends up in four or five or ten years. I get the instinct to be angry, I’m furious, but do you think the country would be a better place with more violence than there already is?
