3. Today my anger is real
Thu May 14, 2015, 02:29 AM
May 2015

And I don't know if I'm able to choose the right words.

This farce had to be planned out, even before Wyden caved. Was this discussed with only a handful of deceitful senators in dirty secret backrooms or was it planned in full senate attendance in caucus and luncheon meetings?

If this was hatched in secret and/or caucus meetings, the time is now for a whistleblower to come forth with details.

Is this secret act, in our names anymore insulting than the TPP secrets?

If they think we will forget this.... daleanime May 2015 #1
