1. I agree
I just wrote to both my Senators urging them to let the Senate take over the relief effort, since the executive branch is either unable or unwilling to.

7. Maybe they could start an investigation into the executive
branch's incompetence as well.

9. I think we need another Continental Congress to fix what
didn't work in the last 200 years. Our Constitution is in dire need of updating. The fact that a group of criminals could take over and ignore the Constitution means it's not working anymore.

5. Our DEMOCRATIC government is gone
The one that is operating in its absence is quite vibrant.

It just doesn't give a damn about its citizens.

8. Fitzgerald can save the country with one signature
on a packet of indictments. Drop the bomb Fitz, you'll be an American hero.

13. This is the government * promised, it's what they've been working for,
it's what all the red states wanted - NO GOVERNMENT.
The government has not collapsed. It has been dismantled.
