I have been having the same reaction as y'all over this all day.

I went to see how my rep voted (had a pretty good idea already) and incidentally found the actual text of the bill

The front half of it is a load of fascists dick sucking, of course

But that's all in the "whereas"es which are not the meat of it.

The main bits are a fairly level condemnation of political violence and assassinations.

I was all set to fire of a testy email and donate (more, again) to the primary challenger.....

But then i read the statement on the resolution and why he voted for it. Not sure I agree, but there is some logic there.
