And the funny thing is, while he respects my intellect, I'm a mechanical IDIOT, and I'm dependent on him to do all of that. I think he'll love his present! It's REALLY special!
Another quisling is Chrissy Houlahan! Who was she trying to appease with her vote to censure Al Green? On that vote alone, I would never vote for her, again. And Hakeem Jeffries has to go, as well. The entire DNC is seriously on my shit list. The FOTUS has stopped intelligence reports to Ukraine and has publicly jumped right into bed with Putin, wanting to close embassies in western Europe and they're worried about DECORUM?!?
They have all rolled over. There is no opposition party.
When I saw her vote, I immediately called her office and left a voice mail about how upset I was about her vote. About 15 minutes later, she called me to explain why she did what she did, and how this was one of the most difficult votes she ever took. The pain in her voice was palpable.
I need to get her permission to relate more of the conversation, but it was not what I would have thought.
I also read she was one of the Dems who voted for his censure and immediately went on her site to email. Green was fighting for Medicaid and one of only a few Dems who are showing any backbone. I listened to her speech a few weeks ago at Delco Courthouse about how we needed to protest to have our voices heard. After her vote to censure, she obviously didn't mean what she said in her speech.
Jessica, I’m looking for research/sources that clearly show the before and after policies of John Fetterman before we fell down the Trump hole so I can troll him with his own words. Any thoughts?
Don’t you ever sleep? No seriously, I’m not interested in getting shot (or otherwise damaged) but let’s not assume they are more powerful than they are. If we don’t show up en masse (I’m not sure what a general strike looks like for someone like me other than just not buying anything which is actually me most days) we just reinforce that Americans are a bunch of lazy entitled troglodytes who are happy to let the rest of the world fight their battles while we spout off about immigrants. Well maybe we are, but we should at least not feed that narrative. They, the Rethuglicans, are counting on us to be slow to react, to stick to the rule book, to be easily divided. I’m not saying we have to become them…that would be horrific…but we need a strategy designed to counter their strategies effectively.
I don't sleep. I wish I did. I think it starts will building back the party with messaging that is "okay" with the masses we've lost, even if it costs us some of the more radical in our tent. I have a plan -- and we can do all of it except the leadership piece, although we can work bottom up on that. My plan will be in the Tuesday post.
I don't know if you watch TV, but EVERY WEEKNIGHT Rachel Maddow has film from that day's protests around the country. They're interesting in terms of who's doing them, and where they are. So long as the protests grow, we may be able to circumvent a full strike.
There is nothing about Israel. On the issue of "uneducated" -- I often rail about the uneducated. For example, many people voted for the convicted felon last year because they believed that "China will pay the tariffs" because they were UNEDUCATED about how tariffs work. Doesn't mean they can't learn, doesn't mean they're inherently intellectually limited but they were UNEDUCATED on the issue.
And you WILL be offended. I'm pretty sure of it, because you'll see things from a personal perspective and not as questions regarding winning tactics going forward.
Please remember to share with all of us Tim's reaction to whatever it was? Curiosity abounds (or is it: knows no bounds?)
Happy Healthy Birthday Tim! Thank you for taking care of our Jessica the genius.

Enjoy the respite
Nah -- petition parties, meetings....but I WILL enjoy celebrating Tim's birthday -- I got him the ultimate surprise gift!

I spoke with her, and I need to get permission to relate the conversation. It was not at all what I expected.

Start here: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/john_fetterman/456877 -- when you get to the bottom of the page, you'll be able to see more data sources. Let me know if that's a good start for you.
Will do, you’re the best!
Yes please tell us your perspective. It is informed and rooted in the principles of democracy.

As long as you don’t post something pro Israel ir anti poor uneducated people, you will not offend me.

I see things as doing what is morally right, not just expedient, and yes, I am offended
