Honestly she should refuse to seat the seditious 148 outright and charge the rest of the Republican Caucus $10k for the honor of passing through those metal detectors.
Cost of complying, $10k. Failure to comply, refusal to seat. One strike you’re out. All visitors for Republican members subject to approval by house leadership.
They'll treat her the same no matter what she does if that happens.
And, that eventuality becomes less likely if she actually fights Republicans as if they are the threat to U.S. lives and national security they've proven themselves to be.
Treating Republicans as if they're actually well-meaning participants in our society and government gives the impression that they are that, rather than seditionists and murderous cowards they have proved themselves to be.
Nobody should lend them an appearance of normalcy.
74 million people desperately wanted to see 4 more years of this absolutely suicidal madness and brutality and incompetence and this terrifying humiliating degradation of all our finer aspirations for ourselves, and they also want to be taken very seriously by the rest of us.
Honestly if you’re still a Republican how have you not perished of shame. Honest question, honestly curious, how are you not simply dead of shame.
I’m just sitting here wondering what we do knowing that over 70m Americans are too either 1) disconnected from reality or 2) comfortable with/enthusiastic about cruelty to be trusted around a plastic spork much less children or traffic.
$1400 checks because there were already $600 checks is the most Democrats thing ever. They’ll give more than previous amounts but still manage to make it look like they’re giving less to gain absolutely no advantage. They could have made them $6,000. Or $12,000.
Providing all the practical procedural reasons Democrats are doing the self-defeating thing as if those are insurmountable challenges is also the most Democrats thing ever.
As if $2k isn't just a random number anyway itself not nearly enough.
$2k is the just number being talked about because Trump floated it. Don't talk $2k in the first place—talk higher—but at *least* don't undershoot it.
Americans need to be given money in order to survive this pandemic. Goddam it make it happen or be seen fighting for it.
The total psychological breakdown that occurs in the conservative mind whenever anyone confesses one of our nation’s past sins suggests a guilty conscience regarding our nation’s present sins.
That’s true, but I think that’s why it would be good to do.
Let’s impeach those laws. Let’s impeach that legacy.
If platforming Nazis and white supremacists were distasteful but ultimately necessary aspects of an open equatable civil society, I sort of feel like we’d have an open equitable civil society now instead of being on the brink of a far-right fascist white nationalist uprising.
Maybe it’s OK to make saying and doing Nazi shit illegal, idk.
If I say and do Nazi shit I think Big Tech should cut me off.
100% correct. It's time for Democrats to stop treating Republicans as colleagues and start treating them as what they've proven to be—and enforcing it.
I want to see enduring and open hostility from the Democratic caucus toward the Republican caucus. I want them all shut out and sidelined and entirely disregarded.
Until this happens I won't feel we are moving from danger to safety.
I want to see Biden's justice department vigorously pursuing/dismantling white supremacist terror cells, both within police departments and without. I want the military purged of white supremacists and sympathizers.
Until this happens we aren't moving from danger to safety.
