Remember last month when we told you about how Senator Chuck Grassley was tweeting randomly, hoping that someone at the White House would see it? Well, it’s happening again. Because everything is weird and this is just how our fucked up government works now.
The whole ordeal starts with Chuck Grassley tweeting about something he saw on 60 Minutes last night about the H1B visa program:
If u just saw CBS 60minutes abt ripoff H1B visa program is replacing AmWorkers u shld know my/Durbin bill will correct this injustice

Grassley then sent out a tweet (not threaded, mind you) that implored the president to look at his last tweet:
@POTUS read my previous tweet and thx to Pres Trump for getting on board. REMEMBER we can do somethings bipartisan and H1B is good example
— Chuck Grassley (@ChuckGrassley) March 20, 2017
Grassley then offered to tell the president which one of his former staffers went to work for the Department of Homeland Security, which seems like the kind of thing that you maybe shouldn’t be tweeting publicly about but what the fuck do I know I’m just a blogger, not a sitting United States Senator:
@POTUS If u want a real expert on fixing H1B a former staffer of mine just moved to HomelandSecurity Call my office I will tell WHO SHE IS
— Chuck Grassley (@ChuckGrassley) March 20, 2017
Then Grassley tweeted what was probably the most depressingly funny tweet of the bunch. He said that if the president didn’t have time to speak with him directly, Trump should instruct Homeland Security Secretary Kelly to get in touch with Grassley:
@POTUS If u don't hv time to call tell SecyKelly to call me
— Chuck Grassley (@ChuckGrassley) March 20, 2017
Grassley finished off the whole mess with a nice little compliment of the president and what the kids who surf the web call a “subtweet” of President Obama.
@POTUS In other words I've been waiting for six yrs for a president interested in fixing H1B and that person has finally arrived/DRAIN SWAMP

Everything is broken and we’re all going to die because our leaders are idiots.
