We, the people, because we could vote them out of office. Sadly, the people have allowed the same few politicians to remain in office for decades, getting richer and richer, while the country deteriorates. I ask, "Why?" I think the answer is that people vote for their "party" or name recognition or just figure the incumbent can't be any worse that a newcomer. Perhaps everyone thinks the "other guy's" politician is the crook, not their own? Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I'm sorry, I didn't read anything about weapons in your blog, just political power and that is on what I based my comment. I didn't see any dialog about assault weapons. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Obviously Mitch is in the pocket of the NRA. Why not let the Senate vote on a bill passed on to them. Bribe (one man) and the whole system of government is messed up. I refuse to think the founding fathers wanted the system to work that way. Party On!

Well if it isn't the Grand Wizard of Stink here spreading yet another lie. Is there any assault you do not support...assault weapons, assault on democracy, assault on health care, assault on the FBI, assault on immigrants. So...Bigger Trigger...what is it that you actually feel when you "squeeze to please"?

The answer to Earthy's question, which you ignored and I'm suspicious why you have ignored it....is that they think about KILLING PEOPLE.

Mitch can stop legislation from being considered by the second branch of our government. He alone has part of our system paralyzed as we type. Why would anyone deprive the senate from voting on gun registration-----senators are elected to carry out the will of the masses----NOT the whims of Mitch & his handler (the NRA) Anyone who can not see that is either blind or self serving. Party On!

This is a unique time in American history and I would argue the answer here is Moscow Mitch McConnell. It is Trump who makes it particularly unique but any time you have a president who loses the popular vote chaos comes with it. America cannot continue to function with outcomes like this. Gerrymandering has finally reached the point where it may have permanently destroyed the country and it doesn't appear the Supreme Court will save us. But you can look it up but McConnell's abuse of the filibuster during his tenure has been historic by a mile when compared to all other political leaders. He has set the country back in so many ways by refusing to allow votes on matters of overwhelming public support. The Hastert rule in the House has also been damaging. It was McConnell who acted to prevent Obama to more aggressively act upon Russia's interference in the 2016 election. Why? His refusal to even meet with Obama's nomination for the Supreme Court was flat out subversive in my view. He's acted several times to shut down the government costing tax payers billions of dollars and each time his acts put strain on the nation and increased risks to citizens. He has acted over 50 times to try and dismantle health care protections to millions of people. He set the stage for Trump's assault on our freedom and he alone is acting to thwart an impeachment proceeding that is now more appropriate than perhaps any other time in our history. Moscow Mitch McConnell by refusing to even allow votes has made it impossible to guarantee the protection of citizens, to safeguard our institutions, to exercise sound foreign policy oversight and he is enabling abuse of power at the executive level by not acting to prevent it. Senate votes have the potential to eliminate all of those threats to our way of life. Moscow Mitch McConnell has handed the keys to the country, once held by 100 senators, to a fascist....and we are paying an enormous price for that. This is not to say that McConnell doesn't have limits to his power, but by refusing to support votes in the first place he removes capacity of the senate to even override presidential vetoes. That directly harms us all. We've lost our democracy frankly...21st century fascism is here. It will take a lot to extinguish it.

Trump just overruled EPA scientists and signed over permission to put a huge open-pit t mine in a pristine water-shed that is the most important Pacific Salmon spawning ground in the world..........This is possible because of Trump's method of placing only "acting" heads of government departments. Trump is deconstructing protection agencies......one after the other ......It's deliberate and insidious........and most Americans have no idea because they are focused on the tweets and the yelling sessions....... Trump's power is based in dishonesty and lack of a moral compass........he is destroying America and people like the dimwits on this site who are comparing red hats and hypotheticals while Trump dismantles their country.......that's Trump's power......insidious and maniacal.......
