Somebody was supposedly looking into the NRA's tax status or credibility. That was like a year ago, haven't heard a peep since. And as you say, there are probably a hundred cases going. We hear they've begun, but they never conclude.

We’ve been told over and over by those who portend to be more knowledgeable than most of us that we need to be patient. We need to let these things run their course.

Well, it’s been months since subpoenas have been issued and flushed down the toilet in open defiance, but to date, there have been no ramifications. This has been open defiance with no consequences. Quite honestly, it appears the other side doesn't mind rubbing our faces in it, and quite apparently, we aren’t going to do a damn thing about it. At the same time, the other side marches onward with a smirk on their face.

I losing confidence in our ability to hold this democracy together in the face of unprecedented demolition. Be patient? We don’t have the time to squander any longer. The election is coming, the press is saying that Democrats don’t have it together, and the Republicans couldn’t care less.

So far all I hear are F you's, and no consequences. And now jokes about the dems seeming inability to fight the GOP. tRump, is going to steam-roll anything he wishes and the GOP will go along with it. The House needs to fight for saving the USA!
