7. Yeah, when was the last time either of those things went the Democrat's way?

Not happening. But you make the point very well. We are, once again, in a position of compromise with a fascist we've been told is the greatest threat to American democracy we've ever seen. Is that last line the genuine conviction of Democratic members of Congress, or is that just to keep the cattle in the pen? I believe it and I expect that the politicians I have helped finance, and voted for to elect, share the conviction well enough to be willing to pay whatever political price they have to pay for putting up opposition to it. If they're not willing to make that sacrifice, then neither am I willing to support them.

I'm also a financial contributor to, and supporter of the free speech that is permitted on this board. And I'll bet we are about to see that threatened as well, by the Little Mary Sunshines and the Apologists for Democratic party establishment.
