2. Use this to hammer the republicans constantly now and for the next 20-30 years...every act

of terrorism, every act of violence, etc. can now be laid at the doorstep of the rump admin., and the republican lackeys in the Senate/House. Vote these scumbags out, for making all of our lives and world more dangerous.
