Jack Cocchiarella: Justice is slow, especially when things are unprecedented, but eventually these things will happen. I expect these interviews, quotes from what happened on Jan 6 will come out the end of 2022.
@JDCocchiarella @ZoomedInPodcast
Jack Cocchiarella: 2024 will be a legitimate election.
@JDCocchiarella @ZoomedInPodcast
Jack Cocchiarella: I'm a college student, & I know what a bad presentation looks like. Planning out a coup on Power Point is a bad presentation.
@JDCocchiarella @ZoomedInPodcast
Jack Cocchiarella: We can't count on evil being stupid going forward. We were lucky it was this time [Jan 6].
@JDCocchiarella @ZoomedInPodcast
Jack Cocchiarella: The most telling thing of Trump era was Trump's knowingly & willingly spreading COVID to Gold Star families. We can basically bet he'll do the wrong thing.
@JDCocchiarella @ZoomedInPodcast
Jack Cocchiarella: Just because a coup wasn't successful doesn't mean it wasn't real or it didn't happen.
@JDCocchiarella @ZoomedInPodcast
Jack Cocchiarella: No matter how many calls Trump made, trying to find 13K here or 40K votes there, it's good we had Democrat bumpers in place to prevent that. The Republicans are trying to do away with those now.
@JDCocchiarella @ZoomedInPodcast
Jack Cocchiarella: I think a message we can use, preventing the possibility of Repubs taking back the House, is to communicate to independent voters that GOP voters will practically make Trump their king. Dems have always struggled w/ messaging.
@JDCocchiarella @ZoomedInPodcast
Jack Cocchiarella: They're so radical, they're looking to put Trump back in office.
@JDCocchiarella @ZoomedInPodcast
Jack Cocchiarella: GOP members are jockeying for the rightest position on the right. If they don't support Trump, they're out.
@JDCocchiarella @ZoomedInPodcast
Jack Cocchiarella: The GOP might be imploding soon & there might be infighting. The internal structure of the GOP is a dog-eat-dog structure, & eventually they'll tear each other apart.
@JDCocchiarella @ZoomedInPodcast
Jack Cocchiarella: A lot of conservatives held their noses & voted for Joe Biden. Will they do the same for Kevin McCarthy? Marjorie Taylor Greene? Lauren Boebert? There's so much fighting in this party they can't sustain themselves.

Vincent Perrone: You would think something like this would never happen but it's been happening at UPS for well over 20 years. Last year I was put in a position where I could do something about it. (con't)
@Teamsters @804_local
Vincent Perrone: (con't) UPS browbeats employees, incl mgmt, to donate to United Way b/c it makes UPS look good. I knew this was going on all over the country. (con't)
@Teamsters @804_local
Vincent Perrone: (con't) We got an initial group of people who came forward, saying they did not authorize the $ that was being deducted from their paychecks as donations to United Way. Our lawsuit was based off 2019, the first year I was in office.

Bruce Ledewitz: Rittenhouse went into this, wanting to be a hero, protecting people against lawless elements, but that's not how it turned out. He saw himself as a sort of John Wayne.
@BLedewitz
Bruce Ledewitz: There *are* good guys with guns: We call them the police.
@BLedewitz
Bruce Ledewitz: The first victim said he was going to kill Rittenhouse, but it's inherently ambiguous.

Greg Regan: Things are getting better with the supply chain. We can clear the number of containers that are sitting in the yards, but we need to address structural issues that have been decades in the making, such as misclassification of workers.
@TTDAFLCIO
Greg Regan: Our system is so driven by quarterly profit margins, but our trucking industry can't be built like that. It needs to be flexible & resilient.
@TTDAFLCIO
Greg Regan: When we don't have the manufacturing capabilities here to produce what we need, we're at the mercy of other countries to get what we need.

Bob Ney: Years ago, we didn't throw anyone off a committee for saying things we didn't agree with. We might have tried to bring a censure resolution to the floor. Why do Dems in the House want to do something to take care of a Repub problem?
@bobney
Bob Ney: Let MTG remain on the committees & be a problem. No matter how much you loathe the person's comments, unless they're threatening to kill someone, you can't throw them off a committee.
@bobney
Bob Ney: No matter what we were doing, we still had a policy agenda. The lack of policy by the Repubs is not a marker that's being held against Repubs b/c they're sitting back & waiting. It may be held against them next year.

Sarah Burris: Remember the dude who went to one of those pizza places & started shooting off his gun when they told him it would be a 10 min wait?
There's been an increase in police officers being shot. You have to expect that when more ppl have guns.
@SarahBurris @RawStory
Sarah Burris: There's case law on this; I don't know why Trump keeps trying. At least Trump is paying his lawyers.
Rick: Is he, though? Paying them?
Sarah: Hopefully they made him pay up front, given his history of not paying.
@SarahBurris @RawStory
Sarah Burris: I feel I've spent a lot of time this week, writing about conspiracy theories.
Rick: Did you see the bird conspiracy is back? That there are no birds, they're robots that sit on power lines to recharge?
Sarah: South Park makes fun of these stupid ppl.

Sari Beth Rosenberg: I see book burnings all the time. I think that tree that was burning was mistaken for a huge book...just kidding. Where were you when the Fox News possibly-made-in-China tree was burning?
@saribethrose @VotersTomorrow
Sari Beth Rosenberg: The right loves to quote MLK, Jr., out of context, but now they're threatening to ban some of his books.
Rick: That's because they read the next sentence.
Sari Beth: It wasn't a fake quote meme they were reading.
@saribethrose @VotersTomorrow
Sari Beth Rosenberg: I'm winning! I haven't had a problem with my students wearing masks & I haven't gotten in trouble for teaching about racism.
Rick: My wife just got back from our school board mtg & the anti-maskers were out.
