    It’s not like if they didn’t pass this law they would have snuck in Medicare for all - I hate the “Is this a good use of your time” argument.

    But it’s never a bad time to criticize how ineffective lawmakers are.

      I might have been at least somewhat mollified of “Natural Bird” meant “New environmental focus on protecting the species” rather than “National Meme”. Might as well make America’s national bird the Dodo, given the rate at which we’re decimating their ecology.

        The bald eagle is well protected as a species. Federal charges for killing one. Course that may change under Trump.

      They could get a vote on the record where Republicans voted against healthcare. We got this bird thing though, so that’s neat.

      They could have tried to do anything actually beneficial for Americans instead though. Like, think about how many hours of work it took Klobuchar’s political peons just to draft the stupid thing. And, they we paid them to do it!! Get fucked Congress.
