Our "leaders" plan to do what they always do which is a bit of grandstanding

But essentially nothing. There is nothing brave about them. I guess you don't get where they are by being brave you just have to be a consummate game player. Corey Bookers tweet nauseated me. Essentially something like we plan to send a strongly worded letter them go and maybe do some taking heads tv shows and you know know more of the same. I'm disgusted by the utter weakness and cowardice, but who's to say maybe I'd do the same if I had it made like them and lots too see. We can't all be extraordinary heros and most of them are no but their lack of outrage is beneath contempt. They are looking forward to the next congress where they will just coast along and play the game.

What I would like to see happen to some of those right-wing thieves,
I can't get away with saying on this board.

Hint: it 'isn't very nice'.
