To celebrate, I am going to finish watching Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle. (2 ep remain) That show is so funny I accidentally keep waking my partner up in the middle of the night laughing at Princess Syalis and her demon crew's antics.
In this unprecedented moment, the new Democratic majority must show that we can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. Yes. We must impeach Trump. Yes. We must process Biden's nominees. Yes. We must pass legislation that addresses the enormous crises facing working families.
Donald J. Trump has now been impeached twice, lost the popular vote twice, lost the House for Republicans in 2018, lost the Senate for Republicans in 2020, and made himself a one term president.
I can only hope to be as dedicated to a task as Princess Syalis is to getting a good night's sleep (from Sleepy Princess in the Demon Cast). Girl is DETERMINED.
It’s not just the Capitol:
Folks tried to run the Biden/Harris bus off the road in Texas.
In Michigan, people tried to kidnap the governor.
In Oregon, they stormed the legislature guns drawn.
White supremacy is our greatest threat and we must face it head-on.
They made their choice when they enabled T/ump. Looked the other way. Reaped the benefits of his administration at the expense of our democracy. They don’t get to abandon their sinking ship. It’s over. It needs to be over. Then, and only then, can we unify and heal.
Especially after the insurrection on the capitol last Wednesday, I think Biden is taking a huge misstep in doubling down on this “unify and heal” message. It’s like, read the room? T/ump tried to have Pence and Pelosi murdered. There were bombs and zip ties. A gallows erected.
Those who committed insurrection need to be arrested and tried for treason. If we lose the Republican Party we lose the Republican Party! Their unwillingness to hold their members accountable disqualifies them from participating in American govt—full stop.
Journalists,
Please stop using “fringe” & “far” before the word “right”. What happened on Wednesday, Jan 6 was mainstream political right, as directed by the leader of the Republican Party and supported by the majority of elected Republicans in the House.
Extremism IS the party.
I haven’t yet said this publically, but I want to now. On Wednesday I felt literally and real evil as the insurrection went down. It is not something that happens much, but I’ve never felt it stronger than that day. Mass deception.
