Voice vote. Unrecorded. What a craven bowing down to racism and lies.

But that only works if your vast majority agrees they have that opportunity.

The vast majority still believe that.

We are in a Mediacracy, and revolting against it. That is what President Trump is doing.

The current fracus is not a revolt against the establishment. It is the establishment attempting to prevent the success of the Trumpian revolt.

Doesn’t matter. He’s white and therefore a racist. To remove the taint of original sin, it will have to burnt, razed and salt sown.

It’s only fair.

We are reconciled.

What helped to bring this about is the belief that the honor bestowed from naming forts after famous Confederate generals would be perpetual.

To take it away now is effectively asking the nation to break it's implied word that the designation was permanent.

It’s amazing how often congress can pass resolutions and laws that are of no importance but can’t seem to get it together on important issues, even the ones Rs+Ds claim they agree upon.

The two parties should be working as one in a time of war right now, but they aren’t, still playing politics every day. The people be damned.

The left is learning that riots work. So expect more.

If that happens republicans should demand that the statue of Robert Byrd be removed from the Capitol and his name taken off every building, after all he was a member of the KKK. If Lee and confederate soldiers were not able to be forgiven then Byrd can’t either.

Oh, but to this breed of politician, anti-Constitutionalism and TDS are indeed “important issues” they agree on 100%.
