Slow Down

When a notorious and unrepentant crook says quick! quick! just sign here! you can read all the fine print later! we've got an emergency here! you damn well better slow down and read every line as though your life depended on it.

The Killer Clown Administration is on its way out, universally reviled, and they don't get to throw their weight around anymore unless we let them. Democrats need to come up with a more reasonable plan that holds the actual wrongdoers accountable and doesn't sell everyday citizens down the river and constrain our ability to provide healthcare and education for all Americans and rebuild our infrastructure and shift to renewables once we've kicked these worthless scoundrels out of town.

Even if it takes us an extra day or two to put something together and grasp the essentials that are actually in play. If we don't call the shots here and now we never will. The impact of Democratic victories in November is getting circumscribed right now, before your eyes, in this very moment.

We can't win then for losing now even if we win.

Try to understand what is happening here.
