Title: A huge test.
Post by: Mike Cl on May 19, 2021, 08:10:55 PM
House Votes To Establish Capitol Riot Commission Over Republican Opposition.

The Senate appears to be a real stumbling block.  The turtle said he would support such a commission, but now he said, no way! Filibuster time, he says.  Why are the democrats going to allow a filibuster when, apparently they can change that rule.  The dems appear ready to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory--again!!  But this time, not passing the bill in the Senate is another series of nails in the coffin of what used to be a democratic republic.  And it looks like trump and his minions are poised to turn this country into a fascist-like state.  I really hope I am being way too pessimistic, but I have a very bad feeling about this--and what I used to call my country.
