People should be SHAMED for staying in office so long they die there, leading to legislative and electoral losses. YOUR ego is NOT more important than the CAUSE. Millions of people are going to die on the altar of career goals. And yet I will be viciously attacked for stating this obvious truth.

Please read the new executive orders. This is effectively a plan to declare martial law. They want to override state/local law and use both the military and police state to enforce their agenda. I’m not trying to be alarmist, this is the real deal. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
