One party system is all this is. Maybe a few good people, but 99% just spewing talking points. I don't mind Ted Cruz, but if not a single Democrat showed up, why is he bothering? It's just an echo chamber at that point and he's lecturing people who already know. For any of them, *actions* speak louder than words. Do something *for the people* that you represent, regardless of the risk. Talking to an empty chamber accomplished nothing. Taking action, leading, supporting directly issues - that may make a difference. Since they believe the President is illegitimate, they should treat him as such and assist the States rather than wasting their time in a corrupt Congress

We need to repeal the 17th amendment and the senators need to be appointed by the states to represent states' rights and to protect and enforce the tenth amendment which would help reduce the exponential mission creep of the federal government as the debt has gone from 1.1 trillion to 35 trillion in just 40 years

I propose that We the People have a say over the Senate when they act like this in the case of Secretary of Home Land Security Impeachment Trial or when a Senator needs to be Impeached out of office, That a Tribunal, made up of the Govenors of all 50 States and Territories would be conviened. Once the Senate refuses to hear the Impeachment Decoration from the House of Repersentives. Then this Governor Tribunal will gather and hear the evidence from the House and will rule on either remove or not enough evidence has been established to convict. Either way, the People will be guaranteed that the Impeachment Process is followed through to its conclusion. This might take a Constitutional Convention to change the rules of Impeachment, but that is another reason to hold one.

Every single politician who does crazy stuff like this is either retarded or they have MASSIVE Epstein level nonsense on them. Matt Gaetz explained it on a podcast. Shumer was 24 years old when he first got into politics! What they do is invite these young politicians to Diddy/Epstein like parties and film them in compromising situations, underage, drugs, homosexual stuff. That is what they hold over there heads their entire careers. Shumer has never spent a day in the private sector, he went straight from college to politics.
