Cohen is so crazy he thinks he’s black. I keep forgetting to include him in the “Crazy Dems 24” in the House. Won’t make that mistake again.

I would have loved to have seen him as a cellmate of Charlie Manson. Despite Cohen being, by birth, Jewish, he and Swastika Faced Manson would have gotten along fine since both were crazy as anyone in American history.

How 'bout we get rid of that pesky 8th amendment that prevents us from torturing all democrats to death?

It's the only thing keeping them alive...

Eliminate the EC huh?

So Steve Cohen D-Tn on day 1 of the new congress proposed taking power and voice away from his own state and their voters?

Sadly, the country was doing well, but a majority of people thought “Ya know what? We’re sick and tired of doing better, having more money, stronger military, better jobs, more jobs, etc etc etc- let’s vote for more Frigging idiots to take over the house”

Yes, a central group of overbearing elites governing a much greater area of lesser plebs. Wasn’t this the outlined in Mein Kampf?

And here lies the problem. It will disenfranchise every red county in the nation. The Republican party will be gone and no more. And for those that think that they can never get it done look around you at what unconstitutional garbage they have already got through. If they get control of congress in the future they will indeed get this done. “You can’t do that” is not in their vocabulary and they never stop.

If there is ever violence in this country, it will be over this if it happens. And it would definitely be a just cause for it. This needs to be strongly explained to them right away every time they even mention it.

NY and California are states that no longer have the ability to run a fair election, politically corrupt and controlled by the rat machine, the media and foreign and domestic money.

That was my exact thought as well.

Democrats want to fix problems that exist only in their imagination.

Maybe Hank Johnson should introduce a bill to keep Guam from tipping over.

First it was the 17th amendment. It’s done tremendous damage to our republic. If the electoral collage is eliminated, so will be the US as a constitutional republic. It will literally be mobocracy, and we already see what that will look like - only it will be worse.

It will be Idiocracy come to full fruition.

The good news is that you won’t need health insurance because all it will get you is a visit to “Saint God’s hospital”, which is pretty useless.

That is a temper tantrum. President Trump requesting the money to perform a task specifically assigned to him and congress in the Constitution is NOT a temper tantrum.

You can’t just introduce a bill to make a change to the constitution. Frigging idiots.

My understanding is such a proposal would first have to clear sub-committees, the parliamentary board and the legal advisory board before being submitted as a bill for serious consideration.

One of the only things that made the Union possible in the first place was the Electoral College. Do away with it and the Union doesn’t stay together...

Right - the five largest populated cities will then control who’ll be president.

If Dems succeed all eyes! States need to leave the Union. Because their votes won’t matter.
