President Trump has called for Democrats to be executed for sedition. The voters expect Democrats to come to the table with a real counter-proposal and negotiate a mutually acceptable compromise. That’s doing politics the right way.

Heads up that this account (and whole server) is going dark for the next week.
Tomorrow morning shutting down the server for the move, will be back the 22nd or 23rd.
