Republicans: No we don’t plan on doing that now.

“The Dow is over 50,000!”
Ok, I’ll admit I’m surprised to see the Dems have have relocated their cojones. That’s good, but let’s take it to the next level and find a way to prevent the government from a literal and complete nosedive into martial law?
They don’t have any real power. So its going to be on us to pull that off
