Dem rep Barbara Lee was on Rachel Maddow a few weeks ago.

She was soooo thrilled that a an amendment to a bill she had been working on for over 15 years was about to finally come up for a bi partisan vote. It was put into place after 911 to give a president the authority to expand military action. Ryan killed the amendment in the middle of the night and in secret and without debate or a vote. This gives 45 more power for expanding military action if he desires to do so.

1. I love Barbara Lee.

And not a big, or any size really, fan of Ryan. Shame this, TRump is liable to start a war, just to get the heat off the Russia thing. And Ryan is aiding him, along with all the other Rethugs.

3. I wish Rachel would have her back on to follow up on this story. She was so passionate about it.

I think I'll email her with the idea.

2. Yet another example

I refuse to listen to any Republican anywhere complain about things being shoved down their throats, or how the Democrats didn't follow the process, or basically, well, anything.
