Robert ReichResearchers have estimated that if we still had a federal assault weapons ban, we would see 70% fewer mass shooting deaths.
S-E-V-E-N-T-Y PERCENT.
Reinstating it should be a no-brainer.
Thelonious08One more obvious thing that Pelosi couldn't get done in 15 years in power.
calling her "the most effective speaker" is a sick joke.
Dingus Sr@thelonious08 @rbreich Wow, if only she'd have snapped her fingers and made it so.
People who don't understand how congress works make statements like the one you made.
People who do, don't.
It's very easy to make excuses.
People like you lower expectations so much
that our quality of life constantly declines.
Other House Speakers have gotten tons of shit done. Some have significantly changed our country according to their own desires.
Pelosi walks away having let the Cons win on every front for well over a decade.
Specifically re: "People who don't understand how congress works..."
Congress works according to rules made by the majority in Congress. When Pelosi wasn't getting crushed in elections, like a total loser politician, she occasionally in spite of herself, got that majority. She chose to make Congress work (in her case not work) the way it did.
Acting like the Speaker of the House has no power is a pathetic lie.
