I-capitol yase-Illinois iphantsi kwe-zero yokuqhambuka kwemfazwe yomkhuhlane. Imvelaphi, ndiyoyika, inokuba yinxalenye yesigqibo endisiyilileyo esapasiswayo, ngohlengahlengiso olwahlukeneyo, zizixeko ezininzi ezijikeleze i-United States kunye neNkomfa kaSodolophu wase-US.
The Isisombululo uye wafundisa abantu abathile, wenza ingxoxo entle, wavelisa ingqwalasela ethile kulungiselelo lokulwa imfazwe, kwaye wazisa amaqela oxolo kunye kumzamo olungelelanisiweyo wokuqhubela phambili inani lezisombululo ezifanayo. Kodwa imfuno yayo yokuba iCongress isuse imali emkhosini iye kwiimfuno zabantu kunye nezokusingqongileyo, kunokuba ngenye indlela, ayikafezekiswa. Ngapha koko, iCongress inike umkhosi imali engaphezulu kunokuba uTrump wayecebise.
Umbhalo wesisombululo kubonakala ukhuselekile kubahlali basezidolophini. Kodwa ubungqina bubonisa ukuba inokuba yityhefu kumalungu owiso-mthetho angofuzo. Ndiyambulela uRobert Naiman ngokundazisa i vidiyo ngento eyenzekayo xa yadibana nabameli belizwe lase-Illinois.
Ekubukeleni ividiyo, ekuqaleni intsholongwane ibonakala ingavelisi impendulo. Ummeli welizwe uLaura Fine uchaza isisombululo ngokuchanekileyo kwaye uphawula ukuvota okubonisa isivumelwano sakhe noluntu ngokubanzi.
Ngokukhawuleza, nangona kunjalo, u-Rep. Jeanne Ives unengxaki ecacileyo yokuphazamiseka kwengqondo. Ukhwaza esithi akafuni ukuba unyana wakhe abhabhe inqwelomoya “engafanelekanga”, ngokungathi uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali oluncitshisiweyo lomkhosi luza kuvelisa iinqwelomoya ezininzi kodwa ezinokuthi zintlithekele ngakumbi kune-F35.
Ngexesha lokungxola kwakhe, u-Rep. Ives ubonakala ekhathazwa ngakumbi yimpawu. Ngaxa lithile uyamgxeka urhulumente apho ekhwaza ngokungahambelaniyo njenge "yeyona meko imbi kumanyano." Kwangomoya omnye uthi amalungu owiso-mthetho akufuneki abe nezimvo malunga nenkcitho yomdibaniso, uthi ngakumbi abo bangenasapho emkhosini kufuneka bangabinambono enjalo, kwaye unika uluvo lwakhe-ekubonakala ukuba luyinkxaso-mali yasemkhosini engenamda.
Ngexesha u-Ives ephelelwe ngumphefumlo, intsholongwane isasazeke ngokucacileyo kwigumbi. U-Rep. David Harris ugungqa ezinyaweni zakhe ukubhengeza ubuxoki ngokupheleleyo ukuba isisombululo sifuna ukupheliswa ngokupheleleyo kohlahlo lwabiwo-mali lomkhosi, kwaye kanye ngobuxoki ukuba inkcitho yasemkhosini yeyokunceda amajoni, kwaye emva koko - ngaphezulu phezulu ukuya kwi-didicrous - ukuba zonke ezi mfazwe “zikhusela inkululeko yethu.” Nangona kunjalo akukho basebenzi bezonyango bavela kwindawo kwaye akukho zilumkiso ziviwayo.
Ummeli uCarol Ammons, engenamaski okanye olunye ukhuselo, ubonakala engachatshazelwanga sesi sifo. Uyasincoma isisombululo njengenkcaso kwisoyikiso sokunqunyulwa koKhuseleko loLuntu.
I-Rep. CD Davidsmeyer ithatha ngokukhawuleza, nangona kunjalo, kunye ne-puss eyosulelayo ephuma emlonyeni nasempumlweni. Ngokucacileyo kwimeko ye-delirium, ubhengeza ukuba ukuba uTrump wayesika umkhosi ukuze axhase iimfuno zabantu kunye nezokusingqongileyo, abaxhasi besisombululo baya kubhala kwakhona ukuba bathethe ngokuchaseneyo. Usopolitiki uphuma ngokuchasene nezopolitiko ngaphambi kokuwa esihlalweni sakhe.
U-Rep. Allen Skillicorn ukhohlela uluvo lwakhe olubukhali ngokuchasene nokuba nalo naluphi na uluvo, kwaye, ebona ingozi ekhoyo, u-Rep. Fine uyasirhoxisa isisombululo esicetywayo aze abaleke aphume kwiCapitol, esingise kwigumbi likaxakeka.
Ividiyo inqunyulwe ngaphambi kokuba ii-ambulensi kunye namapolisa afike ukuze aqalise indawo eyaziwayo yokuvalelwa yedwa.
