THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

Kirk's Professor Watchlist is gone. Good. I saw up close what being listed provoked: violent threats, including sexual violence, death threats, and not just against the targeted person, but random staff members who answer univ phones. Doxxing families. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...?
