@34b946d8 It's a great grift the Republicans run in the House and Senate. All they do is talk to fire up their base and raise money, implying that talk accomplishes things. What they know, but don't acknowledge, is that we don't elect them to talk. We elect them to take action. That means when we give them the power to subpoena, refer criminal charges, impeach, or cut off spending and shut down the govt, they do that and we vote for more of them. But instead all they do is talk.
