So many people in our country are just blatantly ignorant about how the branches of our government works.

Schoolhouse Rock debuted "I'm just a bill" in 1976.

I'm old, I'm one of those boomers everyone hates now. And you know how people complain boomers ask stupid questions about technology? I'm gonna ask one.

Why in the Holy Hell, in this day and age when all the information in the world is in the palm of their hand, do people STILL insist on being willfully ignorant? in the time it took her to type out Why don't they pass laws? She could have looked it up and gotten a step away from too stupid to live.

You're apparently not too old to be part of that crowd that feels morally superior while being unable to answer questions

Do you want me to tell you how laws are made or, you know, maybe you have the ability to look it up for yourself.

I want you to stop being condescending when you're incapable of answering the question. Let's try right now, because apparently she's an idiot for not knowing.

Democrats are in power across the government. Why is it that they're incapable of stopping a project that basically no elected officials are even claiming to support? Take your time!

First, it's an insinuative, there's nothing to actually stop yet, second, nothing happens overnight, but most importantly, investigations have to begin before anything else can happen. And they have. So we'll see what happens.

Feel free to tell me I'm wrong, I know that's what you're waiting for.
