    Sounds good to me! What's the catch? Why are Democrats interested in
    it?

    Because it's a nothingburger. They just have a 3rd party do the trades.

    That sounds good too! What gives here? Democrats feeling shame or something? No f'n way. There's got to be some kind of "...and gives illegal immigrants the right to stay in the USA" or "...and gives China the right to take your land." IOW it's just too good to be true.

    Like I said before, there are many factions in the Elitists. Focusing on this topic, we have the old timer Democrat Elitists who want to push to get their power/money before they die, then you have the new Democrat Elitists who are really Socialists. On top of that, you still have some classical Liberals who don't fit into any camp.

    IHMO: The classical Liberals are the ones pushing for this backed by the old timers who are going to retire out soon - so this won't apply to them. Mostly for the purpose of messing up the Socialist morons - sorry, redundant there.

    Good point. I didn't think of that, but obviously reptilians evolve just like all other humanoids do. "Guys, we'll have to have a cousin do the trading for us.."

    Thank you for your perspective on all this. That makes sense too. "Hey look, we imposed term limits.." But they have an endless supply of a-holes to switch out the oldies with. This could all just be due to Schumer's slip-up with the approval of Trump's budget.

    I almost took the bait again! Thank you Ron!
