Older pacemakers could be adversely impacted if people who had them were anywhere near an average microwave oven in operation - we had those signs up around the office kitchenette less than 15 years ago.

Unfortunately, no clouds also means no rain - it’s a dustbowl here in Maryland!

Agreed. My nutshell outline above ASSUMES that Dems recognize that their efforts just won’t get passed (or even receive appropriate media coverage) in the current political environment, so they are picking their battles wisely, trying to limit as much damage as possible, and then will try to fix everything if/when they regain a majority.

Everything just feels so wrong right now. I have to believe that “We the People” will do better, get better. And I honestly do believe that many of the representative names on the OP list feel the same.

Jamie Raskin? Rashida Tlaib? Those two names alone cause me to disagree with #6.

1. He hasn’t actually been convicted of anything yet, and due process, etc.
2. Dems tried to have him expelled months earlier and Repubs shut it down completely
3. His trial begins during the height of 2024 election season
4. Dems seem to have adopted a larger strategy of “fine, then you will reap what you sow” philosophy against the Repubs and those who vote for them (i.e., House speaker elections, etc)
5. Everything goes to Hell in a hand basket and chaos reigns supreme in the US, electorate says enough is enough, and Dems sweep elections in 2024.

Or something like that.
