If you take an oath of office to defend the Constitution and you don't introduce articles of impeachment NOW, you are violating your oath of office. Your oath of office does not include the words "if it seems likely to succeed."

Which is why I will vote against @pocan.house.gov

Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she “cleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

Rep. Lieu calls for a new investigation into Epstein’s death after released documents show a prison guard responsible for checking on him deposited $5000 into her account 10 days before his death and googled him right before he was found.

Two benefits of EVs which aren't as well known but are HUGE:

--Regenerative braking (also available on hybrids): While brake pads/shoes are usually one of the biggest maintenance expenses, on EVs your original brakes may outlast the rest of the car!

--FAR lower maintenance costs in general!

both the msm and too many liberals ignore the fact that religious black voters, particularly regular churchgoing black women, are the core of the democratic party. without that demo, the democratic party literally ceases to exist.

So what you're saying is that this is a perfect time to remove all fuel efficiency and emission standards across the country?

But if they say anything against the war, the Republicans will call them soft. They need to nominate a moderate right former prosecutor who campaigns with Liz Cheney and ignores Bernie, then the Republicans can't possible call her a soft commie.

As an aside: the most influential Dem consultants all believe the best electoral strategy is to adopt a hostile posture towards the Dem base in the hopes that might convince this person to vote for Dems.

They get really mad if you say that won't do anything except depress lean-Dem turnout.

Here's an example of how much ground progressives have lost on trans issues: In 2016, Dems won NC on the back of the bathroom bill's backlash. Those bills were quite unpopular back in 2017!

They are now ~20 points above water — 52% for, 33% against.

DEMOCRATS JUST WON A LANDSLIDE VICTORY IN VIRGINIA INCLUDING THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION AGAINST A $20 MILLION CAMPAIGN SMEARING THEM OVER TRANS ISSUES

THIS HAPPENED THREE GODDAMNED MONTHS AGO YOU FUCKING HACK

Dem voters on a panel unanimously saying they want a progressive candidate, not a moderate

And this was interestingly unanimous— and not being that well reflected yet in the offerings from actual Dem politicians. Word to the wise

Two decades ago, George Allen used a Portuguese slur in an impromptu comment on the campaign trail and it ended his career.

Now, a sitting congressman can embrace prominent white nationalist slogans in their official ads and the corporate media just yawns about it.

one more reform we're gonna need, administration officials can fly private but it has to be those stripped down, bare bones military transports where they strap in to basic seats along the side of the fuselage

That angle was pre-prepared by the Swedes. It's not a usual angle. The Canadians didn't know this angle existed. It's usually from the front where it's impossible to see a touch.
The Swedes stated in the post-match interview that they made it into a big deal because the Canadians have done this before in other games.
The refs never act and they wanted to force them to more actively rule the games.
The Swedes can be heard during the game saying that "it's fine, Magnus is recording", refering to a guy from Swedish television operating the camera from that angle.
This was pre-planned and expected.
It's the reason why Oskar is so confident that it's on camera.

Sweden curling set up a sting operation to catch Canada cheating i’m fucking losing it

When someone says their country executes pedophiles and you respond by claiming that they are calling for the execution of Donald Trump, you are revealing that you know Donald Trump is a pedophile.

Thank you for you attention to this matter.
