The Senate is broken

Rachel talks about the weather on the East Coast and then about the broken United States Senate.

The analogy works, people.

Not that long ago, someone wrote about me (in a screed) and commented on how I was influenced by pundits, always changing my opinions based on what some talking head says.

I love Rachel, and I respect her opinion, and that I agree with ninety percent of what she says makes her easy to watch, but...I have never, and will never, take all my talking points for anyone but myself and my own beliefs...which are complex and sometimes run counter to other beliefs that I hold deep.

Anyway, I do agree with Rachel that the Senate is broken but (and I am waiting FAU) think that the Filibuster is still a valuable tool for someone who may be the lone voice of reason.

Oh, and because I am, at my heart, a fascist who believes that we require a benevolent dictatorship for a couple of years and that my "Sunshine Brigade" will be tasked with "reeducating" reactionary forces.
