I would be very happy to be wrong about 6/14/2025.

Any Democrat congressmen or representative should leave DC now or yesterday.

I want to be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.

I didn't even think of the hookers. This could be like the Hooker Full Employment Act.

Looking forward to that :)

Best outcome I can imagine.
