ONE of the three branches of the federal government is NOT supposed to run roughshod and unchecked to ransack the joint and do whatever chicanery and weaselry they can get away with. Since they know they won’t be held accountable by ANYBODY! And they know they CAN get away with it.

We HAVE TO have some checks on the Executive branch before it runs completely amok and runs this country and whatolefy of its long held and revered institutions straight down into the bowels of Hell. And the GOP, which now owns the whole damn thing, isn’t gonna do squat.

SOMEBODY has to. We MUST take back the House, at the very least. And a few more true-blue governors’ mansions and state legislative seats wouldn’t be bad either.

VOTE, DAMMIT!!!
