The Watering Hole: July 29 In a state of Limbo..
Will we as a country remain in a state of limbo while America continues to be held hostage, on the brink of economical disaster? Is this all theater? Or will today be the day these people put their extreme ideologies aside and just get it done…
All it would take would be a single paragraph on a single sheet of paper.
