I have been mulling over this whole thing and considering writing something about it. AOC is no fool and she knows what she is doing. That proposal can sit on the shelf for all that matter, but it is still sitting there to be taken down and acted upon at any time. Furthermore, she will be supported by two powerful senators, Whitehouse and Durbin, along with others in both the House and the Senate.

And look People, maybe we should look at this in a positive light with these SCOTUS goons Right now President Biden also enjoys immunity,, Just think about how he could use it. I'm pretty sure he would not do anything about it, he is an honorable man. But the very threat to tRump and his goons means they are also vulnerable now, they are sitting ducks with Biden. I wonder how much sleep they are losing to consider this possibility. At this time they are prancing around thinking they have "won" something, but they are blind as bats.

Speaking of old bats, MTG, and her nimrods are hanging on a wall pooping mounds of putrid crap, again, thinking they "won" when in fact this ruling is not just about tRump, it is about ALL of them also.

So you go girl, Ms AOC. You rule!

My 2 cents,

Cat in Seattle
