Aside from the fact that Gallup finds over 70% of people support this, I appreciate Cornyn’s clarity in arguing that his party finds anti-bigotry initiatives to be divisive
Now Hawley is claiming that he “was never attempting to overturn the election” and was merely “representing my constituents.” Does Hawley think Americans are gullible and stupid? They are not, and most people can see through phonies.
Will Hurd, former GOP congressman, is on CNN right now, doing his best to play the moderate and try and distance the GOP from Trump.
The problem is, as with Ben Sasse, people like Hurd now talk a good game BUT DID NOT VOTE TO IMPEACH TRUMP WHEN THEY HAD THE CHANCE A YEAR AGO.
Please don't tell me about all the structural imbalances and barriers, GOP intransigence, the courts, etc. I'm well aware of all that. Still, when you control all three of these, you can get a lot done, if you have the political will and strength. Just ask Trump and McConnell.
"Let's remember *that* MLK: the MLK of economic justice and *democratic socialism* and not just the sanitized... version that we've been commemorating all these years"
My mini-rant on #MLKDay on how both Dems & GOP hate socialism but love *socialist* MLK:
For the past five and a half years, since I moved to this country and he came down that escalator, this man has dominated my waking & sleeping hours, my professional & personal life. (Ask my wife!)
Now he's gone. It's over. Perhaps I can catch up on sleep? Get a hobby maybe?
The reason this was allowed to happen is bc White people in America have always gotten what they wanted. From stealing Native American land to burning Black property/businesses. America has always taken what they want & now we see they’ll even eat their own to get what they want.
I've never seen the Republicans retreat like this. Today was an epic humiliation. Today held up a mirror to what they have been enabling all this time. Today the wolf they fed rose up against them. And they were shook.
How could this have happened? ask Trump-enabling politicians and media who have for years ignored warnings that something like this would inevitably happen
.@Scaramucci on Trump's hold over the GOP base: "We have to explain to them why this was such a big mistake and what he's actually doing. This is weapons-grade sort of propaganda, Mehdi."
