Interesting?  I predict crazy.  Getting rid of the electoral college?  SMH

Congresswoman Occasional-Cortex should be pleasantly and revealingly vocal during all this.

No doubt!  I am surprised they didn’t go all the way and propose eliminating the Seante as well.

Fortunately, for some, there wasn't all that much to lose in the first place.

lol that's a silly waste of time and money. Instead they should concentrate on this great bill and get behind it already and do the right thing...this is what they get paid for, not their asinine battles:

I will be watching the outcome of this very closely. I can say right now I don't care what party - whoever votes for it would be a hero and whoever votes against it will be a zero to me. I will be taking names.

You want the government to regulate crypto?

I want them to not apply outdated securities rules to crypto. Regulation is inevitable and is already starting either way, it's the way it's done that will count alot.

 

The "Token Taxonomy Act" — a bipartisan effort by Reps. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio and Darren Soto, D-Fla. — defines a "digital token" and clarifies that securities laws would not apply to cryptocurrencies once they become a fully functioning network.

"In the early days of the internet, Congress passed legislation that provided certainty and resisted the temptation to over-regulate the market. Our intent is to achieve a similar win for America's economy and for American leadership in this innovative space," Davidson said in a statement.

 

This, if passed, will be huge. Anyone who votes against it, in the words of Kevin O'Leary, will be dead to me.
