While the GQP is caucussing/infighting/dueling ...

Can we sneak in single-payer universal medical, dental and eye care, (free for seniors), voting rights act, reproductive and marriage freedom, prohibition of gerrymandering, equal-time fairness act for cable, radio and internet news, campaign financing reform (think of the billions), minimum taxes on the rich, closing loopholes the size of Asia, repealing taxes on social security income and IRAs, doubling the size of the extreme court, reforms helping with housing costs and rents, codifying separation of church and state, repeal of the dystopian "Citizens United", abolishing the need for "health insurance", the cruelest ruse played on Americans, prohibition of assault weapons, serialization of all ammunition, vastly increasing the V.A. and decreasing its limitations, and legalizing certain substances, giving them away free to seniors, who have lived through way too much of this horseshit called "unbridled capitalism". ?????


Not asking much!

So not really dismayed, as pragmatically cautious with some hope. 👍

Very, VERY Happy we held The Senate.
