1. As far as I know, he's the first GOP senator to publicly say he'll vote to release them

Hopefully it creates an avalanche, as you said.

6. I'm speaking strictly about senators.

It should pass through the house without issue. The senate will be trickier.

4. Pretty soon

I expect the GOP to start cutting ties with Trump to save their own skin. He’s a lame duck and these people will have aspirations beyond his time.

5. They're assholes, but they're smart enough to know when it's time to hold 'em and when it's time to fold 'em,

and I think many, many a repig are realizing that it's time to fold 'em to save their own skin.

It's funny, and not in a humorous way, but they won't do it for the right reasons, they're doing it to try to preserve their power and grift.

7. Hopefully there will be enough

for a veto proof majority, because Trump sure AF won’t sign it even if it passes the Senate.

8. Saw a clip of Kennedy saying that

but when I first looked, thought it was Grandpa Munster!

9. We shall see if it is truth he speaks

or smoke he waves.
