  1. This thread is much better with Ana on ignore. If he has something worth reading, and he might as he seems like a smart dude, it's lost in his need to reply to every single post to show that he's smarter than everyone else.
  2. The GOP doesn't want to actually pass anything. They still don't even have a health care plan. Hell, the only thing the GOP Senate even tried to pass over the last few years, was a failed repeal of Obamacare and an actual tax cut for the wealthy. We know what legislation they would pass with 51 Senators, and it's nothing. The dems are the only party right now that actually wants to pass legislation to govern, as opposed to just obstructing shit and lining their own pockets.
  3. Exactly this. 45 was obvious from the beginning. But the number of morons and racists in this country, especially the number of people who I used to respect and thought were intelligent, even if sometimes I disagreed with them on things, who were taken in by a bigoted conman still shocks me.
  4. Yeah. After the election was called for Biden, I was downtown and saw a ton of cars driving up and down with people waving flags and my first thought was WTH are all the trumpers doing in town and why are they celebrating today. Then I realized it was the non-trumpers celebrating and taking back the flag and everything it is supposed to stand for. It made me realize how for four years the flag had been brandished as a weapon against anyone not in the trump cult. And I let them ruin the flag for me, not because I hate America, but because I hated what they were turning it into and how they used that flag as a symbol of oppression. And it reminded me that the flag could be a symbol of my country, instead of a weapon.
  5. I was hoping that was a reference to George Conway. Because what is he doing in all this. Tweeting and leaving his children to be abused by Kellyanne.
  6. That asshole carrying Lincoln's bust better be prosecuted for theft.
  7. No idea why dems in Congress might be livid about the GOP Reps, who seem to be doing their level best to kill them.
  8. I think McConnell is just trying to buy time. He knows far worse is going to come out. And once trump is out of office, they will have less ability to control the flow of information. Direct evidence of incitement, evidence that House members were coconspirators, other criminal activity by trump not related to the insurrection, etc.. Once Barr or whoever the fuck is acting AG this week is out, more and more evidence against trump will be out there. McConnell doesn't want his members voting against conviction, with that dam of information about to be released in the coming weeks.
  9. Wait. I thought he no longer had any way to communicate with the American people.
  10. I’m also wondering, and trying not to be too tin foil hat here, but if the congresspeople (who are also Greene, et. al.) who refused to wear masks when herded off into that room, did so not only because they’re raging assholes but also because they wanted to be recognized by the insurrectionists if they got through.
  11. She's also a former navy pilot. I live just outside of her district because of the gerrymander and she is one of the few members of Congress I respect. Sherrill is professional and certainly hasn't come across to me as anything close to a conspiracy theorist or kook
  12. Which is pointless if Boebert or whoever can bring weapons into her office and then her staffers could use them.
  13. Someone needs to talk me off the ledge. I think they're planning to shoot Pelosi during the impeachment vote tomorrow. It's not like the Capitol Police are going to be searching all their offices overnight. And now they just brought a bunch of weapons into the Capitol less than a week after the first part of the coup attempt.
  14. Yeah. And fuck. Are they planning to end impeachment by shooting Pelosi? Ya know, since the opening salvo of the coup last Wednesday didn't result in the deaths of any Dems yet (although at least 3 have Covid given to them by the GOP). WTF is the goal here?
  15. True. And I'm not in any way excusing this. But I'm sure he's also not there because trump would fire him tonight.
  16. So did my cat. But Dolly Parton is the best of America.
  17. Also, the pandemic thing likely means that those of us living in reality aren't likely to be at an airport these days. I imagine planes are filled with primarily trumpkins flying.
  18. They also gave Covid to Rep. Bonnie Coleman Watson, who is black, 75-years-old, and a cancer survivor. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/mob-attack-capitol-coronavirus-congresswoman/2021/01/11/edae7c5e-5438-11eb-a08b-f1381ef3d207_story.html
  19. They did. But they only received the first dose, not the second. And Coleman Watson is a 75-year-old cancer survivor.
  20. Honestly, and in all seriousness, I hope she's there. She's the one person trump wouldn't endanger by inciting a riot to her location.
  21. Not necessarily. You need (1) the vice president and (2) either a majority of the cabinet or "other body as Congress may by law provide." I think some of the wrangling was about passing a law to provide for that "other body," which I'm not sure if anyone knows exactly what that language means. But I think there was some thought by the congressional dems that since there essentially is no cabinet and the people who are still there are sycophants in on the insurrection, appointing the "other body" could be an out. You would only need a majority of both houses of congress to establish the "body." That said, while maybe they should work on this also, every second trump is in power he is in danger, and I can't believe the House hasn't voted on impeachment yet.
