He was reelected in 2016 and is all but untouchable until well after the scheduled end of Trump's first term. He has shown himself to be a bankable Republican rubber stamp, and he absolutely doesn't give a shit about the will of his constituents absent a $60K admission fee.

Recognizing that one is more or less powerless to effect change via legal means, one might be forgiven for seeing few paths forward.

or that's what we thought at one time when the state was more liberal. PA has lost population.

doesn't have a Rep in Congress at the moment. Montana's special election i done on May 25th. I plan to vote for Rob Quist, a genuine Montanan with values we can support, even Rs are looking at him more favorably than the loser who is running against him.

I am disabled. Health Care in rural Colorado already sucks and if it gets worse, me and a lot of other folks will just die. You better believe I'm fighting back! Now I'm gonna go over to Facebook and post about this on my local Dems Facebook page. En Guarde!

I could do a much better job. They're all toast eventually, one way or the other.

PS: I marched this weekend. And I carried a great sign: 'KGOP Get Off My Planet.'

Too dark? Not dark enough?

It was fun.

Seward Johnson's statue of man reading a news paper.

When you get close you can see he is reading the NYT Aug 8 1974.

This is the kind of resignation I really like:

Would go. He's trying to get Jared set up for VP. Maybe Pence agrees to an immediate pardon and Turtleman goes along. They all love Pence too.
