i cannot allow myself to be pessi pessimistic. this is way it s always going to be. you know the power and a place like washington, d.c., that s how it will keep going. if you say there s a pleating happening behind closed doors and everything will change, i d like specificity. i would like safety as well. i think the mid terms will be huge. i think people will be voting on this issue in the mid terms. i ve bp watching, i like to stay away from social media as much as i can but i ve been looking at socme of the things from con sef conservative members of congress and their constituents are saying we have to do something. that s why i m hopeful about it. if they re jobs are on the line come november, i think that will put some pressure on them. i hope so. i hope this time is different because i don t know how much more i can take or the nation s heart can take watching another closed casket of a shichild. i agree. see you tomorrow. joe biden said it. to be honest about
