have been reading the tea leaves of special elections and other elections that have occurred since the criminal put himself back into the Oval. They're scared they may have to actually work for a living, rather than living off of our largesse, because of the orange tyrant.

It's good to see some movement from those who've been under his thumb for so long... and it could probably only have come from them, just like it took Nixon's inner circle to tell him to leave. But I don't have a hell of a lot of hope these "men" will have enough backbone to make anything happen FOR the people.
