Animal costumes and chants are not going to end this.

Do you think the Democrats will stop any of this?

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What do you hope they will do?

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Those require executive power. It can't come from congress
