Republicans are spineless, that is why it ever got to this ridiculous point. Remember, not one Democrat has gone to jail over all the hoaxes yet. Only those who backed Trump and were framed have ended up in jail. Not one Democrat.

They all vote the same damn way anyway. Maybe they could add a 10 question test regarding facts about the bill they are to vote on. Each party gets to create 5 of the questions. Multiple choice with a section for comments prior to voting, and their answers are public. Confirms they are aware of the contents of the bill. They are responsible to their constituents to indicate why they voted as they did based on contentious pieces in the legislation.

I really wish all these bills would be public as they are constructed and contain edit history attributed to who is making the changes, and allow the edits to be viewed live. So when a 1000 page bill comes due with some sketchy benefits, the person who made the changes has to own up to it.

If we could see how many bills are voted Yes on after a campaign contribution hits their account without soo much as looking at the bill, the American people would riot overnight.

Wouldn't be shocked if its 90%+ for smaller legislation, which makes up the lions share of laws passed.

This is more honest about telling Americans that they are no longer represented.

I didn't understand a word. He didn't even explain what a proxy is.

Proxy voting is already what we have in place. They all fall in line. Who cares about their rules for the procedures on it. Each member is ultimately responsible for their own vote

When Republicans control the House they can do the same. These Democrats learned nothing from Harry Reid's mistakes. They are like Wile E. Coyote in the Road Runner cartoons. They try the nuclear option and end up nuking themselves in the long run.

Well, they did use Harry Reid's nuclear option to push through confirmations, so I have to give them some credit. There are less RINOs now than there were President Trump took office, and hopefully we can purge more this year.

Some great news from Oregon: Knute Buehler, king of the RINOs here, was BTFO in his congressional primary. He tried to jump on the Trump Train after years of being a NeverTrump cuck, but voters here didn't forget or forgive.
