I am hearing about some Democratic members of the House will vote yes on contempt

because they are afraid of the NRA.

Why don't they stand up to the NRA? Would it be a guarantee lost of the elections?

Edited; after a grammatical error was pointed out in public.

That (D) is no longer a reliable indication of Democratic party affiliation.

to propagandize any innocuous thing into a political weapon that can result in the killing of US Citizens. The world could be enslaved with enough money and power. What if a Demigod became the Messiah of the one percent and had the charisma of past fascist dictators to the point that the one percent would follow him or her?
