Sarah Kendzior: When you add all these things together, it's an authoritarian Mafia state. A crime syndicate masquerading as a government. Just another day in the life.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: I do see the Republican side of this; I think the hearings should be public. The fact we didn't have transparency after 9/11 was to the detriment of our democracy. On the other hand, this is a gov't that threatens those who disagree.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: I wish they'd strike some kind of balance. This is not just a crisis for the halls of gov't but for the American people themselves. These hearings will help us decide who we'll vote for, if our elections will be secure.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: I wish the GOP would change the strategy [SCIF] but I'm sympathetic to their view.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: We don't have time for "eventually." We haven't had time for "eventually" for a very long time. People are dying NOW, rights are being taken away NOW.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: The Trump admin is on an eternal crime spree. When the Dems took over the House, I wanted them to come in hard, starting impeachment & getting all the info they could.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: Had the Democrats begun impeachment in the spring, maybe the more recent crimes wouldn't have been committed.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: In Trump's mind, there is no difference between the United States of America and Trump himself. Not out of any feeling of patriotism but because he thinks he has full leverage of power.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: Trump thinks he can use executive power and take human life and flaunt that power.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: I'm not confident I'll live to see the outcome; I'm not confident many of us will live to see the outcome, frankly.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: Trump wants to be the final arbiter of what is truth, what is law. That's why his lawyer is saying Trump can't be held accountable or charged while in office.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: People keep acting like we're in normal times, discussing healthcare or the election instead of the fact that the mafia is in the White House. This is an urgent crisis--take action NOW!
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: If I were in charge, I'd impeach on crime after crime after crime. Don't just leave it at one; we need to establish the precedent that no, you can't commit these crimes just b/c you're President. Keep that impeachment train rolling.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: They're handling this very incompetently. Are they frightened? Do they not grasp the seriousness? The U.S. they grew up in is gone & it's not coming back.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: We see deep corruption in plain sight. This is the political equivalent of The Great Depression; the aftermath of this will go on for generations, probably my entire life if I get to live a long life.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: Storming the SCIF is a preview of the types of actions the GOP will take if Trump loses, if other things don't go their way.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: I wonder if one of the reasons the GOP stormed the SCIF today was because Pelosi was at her brother's funeral, and she's the only one who can call the Sergeant at Arms.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: The fact the GOP went into a SCIF with cell phones after Hillary's emails & complaints of security is serious. It may look ridiculous, a reality show stunt, but they committed a crime today. They should all be fired.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: The Democrats should be as transparent as possible. They need to have press conferences that are at least as interesting as the stunts the GOP pulls.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: I feel bad for Adam Schiff; the GOP is scared of him and is attacking him.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior:This is Putin's wish list, ethnic cleansing of the Kurds. It's much like when the Russians invaded Crimea. Syria is the victim of the worst human atrocity in the last decade. I'm ashamed our country is on the side of it. Pure malice of Trump admin.
@sarahkendzior
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: No one wants Iraq War II where we go in again on a false pretense.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: It's an oil-based administration, no different from the previous Bush and Bush administrations.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: Tulsi Gabbard is someone who supports dictators; I don't believe she's a Russian agent. We did an entire Gaslit Nation podcast about Tulsi Gabbard.
