It is actually incredibly difficult to write an explicit scene even with just two people where you accurately convey whose hands those are (and lord help you if they have the same pronouns!) without sounding like an ikea manual.

There a very large gravestone in a cemetery near my house, it's black with inlaid gold lettering and it just says SOON.

Has there ever been a legislature in history this eager to render itself impotent?

Except no one in that thread was saying experience isn't a thing. They just said experience != competency, which is true.

GAO is the Government Accountability Office.
Its original name was the General Accounting Office.

If they could stop injecting themselves in actively harmful ways, like making violence at political protests or political violence generally a "both sides" issue, that would be nice too.

And for my part, I agree with that. In this particular case, what I want is for them to, if they're not going to make a particular issue the main one they're focusing on, at least exercise some discretion on what they call a distraction.

I'm not sure how it's manufactured: Schumer literally called deploying the NG in LA a distraction, so did Padilla before he got arrested. Just yesterday Schumer's office made that disastrously tone-deaf tweet about SCOTUS' healthcare for trans minors ruling being a distraction, to name a few.

A question for you: Where does the "distraction" talk sit WRT the argument you've repeatedly made that the gen pop should be exercising its own political power, not lookingto cong. leaders?
This looks to me like a case where people are taking political action, but D's are saying "no, not like that"
