I worry about the people in congress (like this man) who are motivated ego and ideology rather than by trying to be of service to their country and their district.

Will there be no end to the disinformation jihad and the sneering disrespect?T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09208990104460795917noreply@blogger.com
