Showing Original Post only (View all)This reparations issue. Who started it and why? [View all]
I don't understand.
Maybe it has to be addressed. Maybe those should be paid, maybe not. It's a matter for honest debate.
But why now when even if the House passes reparations it's dead on arrival in the Senate? And especially under this atmosphere where the House is reluctant for an impeachment because "it will divide the country"?
Why not wait until we have the power to do something?

Congress shouldn't pass any legislation because people won't read it and Trump will lie about it?
