23. Ok, i agree that 10 senators should NOT make our policy. (i look at it like union members crossing a picket line).

I have to also look at this as (it's really hard for me) maybe, just maybe this could cause outrage for the maga's, because even when we get the Democrat from Arizona sworn in, THAT only get it to the floor for a vote. Not sure how Mike handles that, but i'm thinking it will NOT pass the house. So, i'm thinking we will never see the Epstein report. Plus another shut down in January could, i repeat could put rethugs in trouble, because it's the election year. Now, i do NOT have any answers as to moving forward, but i'm not as pissed now as i was when i first heard about what happened. Lots of people getting help now that need it, that's for sure, We are in a very bad place, so i guess we have to suck it up and just move forward wherever we can. It's out of our hands i
m afraid. THIS is a tough one for me, and all of us here.
