Michael Moore is spot on

40. Proper powers or no

Have we seen a physical crowd of reps on the capitol steps or in the rotunda - staging a sit (or stand)-in for us? Desperate times call for desperate measures. The god-offal corrosive meltdown that's eroding OUR federal manor is not going to be impeded by clever tweets or E-mails or late night show mockings.

We HIRE these reps, pay them - give them health care like we don't have access to, and then send them to DC to (supposedly) talk and deal for us. Don't they have to recite an oath too? Echo an oath to uphold the constitution and protect it against ALL threats - foreign and domestic? Where are those elected voices now? Democrats, Republican, Independent - they ALL HAVE TO KNOW we have a bogus leader in the Oval Office. Yet the clock keeps ticking away while the things we've taken for granted are trashed by this orange steam roller and his criminal crew.

We have Moore & Mahr & Rachel & Tom & numerous others who make a decent (or more) living by telling us how crazy our sleaze-ball leader is, but NO grand march of our reps to corner and confront those who COULD put a stop to all this in an instant. I physically can't go to DC and even if I did, I'd get laughed at IF anyone besides the Capitol police happend to notice some limping, yelling old jerk. But that's why I vote to select a spokesperson to be there for me. Even if my spokesdunce IS Devin Nunes, there's lots of others who supposedly would speak on my/our behalf.

Of course, my keystrokes here mean not one god-be-damned thing because I call for ALL reps - not just the ones "in charge" to stand up and take action. And that "ALL" word is a sad cover for the Dem side of the Aisle as well. And I'm breaking the rules of DU by doing that. Heh - and we lament the gridlock in congress. And so again, I ask: Where ARE our reps in DC? We're on the cusp of being decorum'd to death and all we get is "how shameful this all is".
