It is essential to understand one thing, an over-arching fact of current life in these United States that transcends all other considerations: there is, now, only one branch of government, the Executive Branch, under the control of a deranged leader.

The Congress and the Judiciary are now subservient: a supine Congress unwilling or unable to exercise its Constitutional duties and prerogatives, and a Judiciary, headed by the 'Supreme' Court, that has handed to the Executive free rein to do exactly as it wishes.

End of subject. So sorry.

Joe, thanks for asking our esteemed members about their jobs.

I’ve never seen, nor fathomed, such a complete abdication of constitutional duty and honor. Trying to press accountability on the GOP is even more infuriating. Referencing JVL’s post the other day, this is how unrest and revolutions happen.

I'm actually John, not Joe. You'll have to take it up with my parents, both now no longer with us.

I think he was addressing his remark to Perticone.

I know many will not agree with me, but frankly, this is why I have never been in favor of a total ban on guns. Reasonalby restrictions, yes, but an armed citizenry is the last defense against tyranny.

Dudley, you're right, logical and reasonable. But is current indiscriminate gun ownership representative of "a well regulated militia," per the Constitution? It seems more like an unregulated free-for-all with no restrictions on any kind of weaponry, including attack weapons designed for all-out war. Tell me I'm wrong. I try to learn from my misteaks.

Yeah, Mr. P.

But I’ll also take it up with your folks. 😂
