Sometimes seems like they introduce those bills only when they can't possibly pass. Makes for good theater and talking points ("I _tried_, look!").
- mexicocitinluez 9mo agoSo I don't see those particular Dems doing that as much as I see the Schumers & Pelosis doing it. And to that end, I agree completely. Though not introduced by Dems, this is a great example of just how stupid all of this is: http://congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-concurrent-resolution/58/text http://congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-concurrent-res... Of all of the things currently plaguing the US, the fact that they think this is appropriate speaks volumes.
