At this point, I don’t see how the House doesn’t impeach. Take the vote, throw it in Mitch’s lap, and let the Senate Republicans decide that they want to protect the guy who sent a violent mob to their Chamber.
As my political awakening continues - I get more and more frustrated at the double digit millionaires "representing" us. One of the main ways they don't look like the people as Gary says.
Some times it just doesn’t feel like we’ve asked ourselves what leadership should look like.
Our leaders should look like the people. They should understand the people, & they should fight for the people.
I don’t care what the courts say, a business isn’t a person. We are.
And we can begin to heal, from an abusive relationship with the former Pres. These leaders care about us, are leading by example. It may be just one small step, but this is a significant one. Thanks @JoeBiden
Thanksgiving has always been a special time for the Biden family. And while I know this isn’t the way many of us hoped to spend the holiday, the small act of staying home is a gift to our fellow Americans.
Dampnut's lead is down to just 18,042 votes in PA - My vote for #Joe_Bi_Wan hasn't been counted yet, neither has Sherry's - that's two more drops in the near overflowing bucket! Let's do this PA! Drinks are on @_Lily_Cait, I hear =)
I don't know anyone in Georgia, but I hear the number of young folks eligible to vote since the 2016 election has risen sharply. Maybe once the pres. election has run its course they can get some blue in their Senate representation! #FlipTheSenate
Really hopeful the Senate run-offs in GA flip the senate for us, since the Corp Democrat's weren't able to get that done this election cycle. Would like #McConnell to shrink back into his shell.
@BenjaminPDixon Can't rest on laurels. Two Senate seats up for grabs January 5th with Senate control on the line.
A flipped Senate would have @SenSanders as Chair of the Budget Committee and Health Subcommittee. That could be helpful for pushing policies that help working class.
That's a lot of $ flushed down the drain. It's a true shame that these companies KNOW that "investing" their money in lobbying our gov't to pass laws to get them out of providing for their employees is "financially sound" long term, while also evil. #dontbeevil
Looking back at the four years behind us, there's no WAY @realDonaldTrump is capable of anything close. I'm sad for him. I pity his love-less transactional life. We sure could use a message of unity from the Rep. side when he loses, but let's not be naive enough to expect it.
For those wanting to see a concession speech, this one by John McCain — congratulating Obama in 2008 — is worth watching again. See how he faces down the boos from his own supporters. Very few greater moments of humility.
"Republicans have shown they are willing to break the system to get their way.
Our system is supposed to be BUILT on civility, & norms.
Once you have a party that says 'to hell with that'—the system breaks."
