7. I have no illusions it'll go anywhere right now.

But with both Whitehouse and Wydon on it, I don't think they'll drop it with the swearing in of a new Congress in November. We are just months from the start of making things right, I believe. We have a lot of work to do between now and then to make it so, but I think the Repug moniker is going to be so defamed by November, the Democrats are going to sweep with a tsunami. BUT we have to somehow work around the media and get all the info out to the public so they know the full extent. We can't expect that most people out in the public are in anyway as well informed as we are. What we think as should be a "duh" could easily be news (and untrusted, at that) to those who are low info voters. Look at what the Rs got away with in 2016! I've talked to people who are appalled they gave their vote to trump, after learning some of this stuff since that election. One would think after all that has come to pass with trials, etc., there wouldn't be a dummy out there... but they exist even still. (sigh)
