πŸ—£ Maxine Waters on @allinwithchris: We should have impeached him sooner.
100%. It doesn't matter that the Senate would not convict. He should have been impeached earlier, more often and/or continually investigated; he admitted that this hurt him.

He lives in the moment & would have been distracted. He even said he deserved a third term because of it.
Also because it would have been the right thing to do. Political calculation should never have entered into it.

Trump is a criminal who belongs in prison and it is going to take a long time for our country to heal from this.

#DoTheRightThing
In short, the overall damage would have been mitigated.

Not a lot of questions about criminal charges against former Libyan intelligence ofc Abu Agela Mas'ud Kheir Al-Marimi for constructing the bomb that killed 270 people when Pan Am 103 exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland.

32 years after the crime.

npr.org/2020/12/21/947…
When Barr was acting AG in November 1991, the DOJ charged two Libyan intelligence officers: Abdel Basset Ali Al-Megrahi and Lamen Khalifa Fhimah, 39 and 35 at the time.

Fhimah was acquitted.

Al-Megrahi died in 2012, but his case has been appealed.

nytimes.com/2020/11/24/wor…
al-Megrahi was granted a compassionate release in 2009 because he had cancer.

He insisted until his dying day that he was innocent.

His family has carried out his wishes to appeal the case.

😷 George Clooney on Masks

β€œThis thought where everybody is like, β€˜Well, it’s my freedom.’ It’s like, β€˜That’s not how this sh*t works, dumbas$.’

Your freedom is this: you are free to smoke until your lungs turn black, but you can’t do it on the bus...
Clooney (cont’d): You’re free to drink until your liver comes out your ass, but you can’t drink and get behind the wheel of a car. There have to be certain rules. This is one that says: put on a f*cking mask and we’ll get through this...
Clooney (cont’d): We’ve got vaccines comingβ€”let’s save another 60,000 lives before the vaccines.”

George Clooney urges 'put a f***ing mask on' in profane rant

Mitch McConnell can not get away w/ blaming this on the Dems.

It’s time to really fight back & let the American people know what’s really going on.

#MoscowMitch has been blocking everything since he became leader. It started when he couldn’t handle having a black president.
πŸ“’ Form a group of respected Democratic Senators to hold a press conference.

Tell the truth to all Americans about Mitch McConnell.

This cannot go any longer.

@ChrisMurphyCT @SenBlumenthal @SenWhitehouse @ChrisCoons @maziehirono @DickDurbin @SenDuckworth @BenCardinforMD
πŸ“’ It would also help the chances for @ossoff & @ReverendWarnock

πŸ“’ Let’s go!!

We need to counteract the #disinformation! We need the Senate back, but we won’t get it if you don’t FIGHT!!!

Fight for #WeThePeople

πŸ”₯ Senators cannot "defund the police."

That's something that mayors and boards of selectman would do, if they were so inclined...

Stop spreading #propaganda & #disinformation!

Vote for @ReverendWarnock and @ossoff for U.S. Senate in #Georgia. They tell the truth.
Or Governors for State Police...

Or County Board of Supervisors for Sheriff's departments...

Can all "defund the police," but what they originally meant anyway was to REFORM the police, not defund.

NOT U.S. Senators.

U.S. Senators do not have jurisdiction over any police.

πŸ’₯ Sorry, Mitch, but the Senate isn’t yours yet.

Right now, the Dems and GOP have 48 Senators each. Still to go:

πŸ› Runoff for Reverend Raphael Warnock against Loeffler, January 5
πŸ› Only 56% of the votes have been counted in #Alaska for Dr. Al Gross
πŸ› #NorthCarolina has not been called yet although Tillis has a lead over Cal Cunningham
πŸ› #Georgia has not been called yet although David Perdue is leading Jon Ossoff

#CountEveryVote
πŸ› And as many people have also pointed out, likely winner Kamala Harris as VP will be President of the Senate and will break any ties.
