Good news is that a lot of the Congress elect took their meals to go out of better judgment

But the optics and Nancy justifying it is a horrible look.
 
Dumb and offensive.

We’re back in the red zone and I can’t visit my parents but these fools can sit for hours at a fancy dinner. This is why you will see compliance go to about zero for Christmas.
 
The fact that they even thought about having that dinner is beyond disgraceful. Complete hypocrisy and arrogance. Pelosi needs to go away, Dems definitely need new leadership.

Also talk about serving it up to Trump and his backers on a silver platter. And I don't mean the dinner.

Apparently it’s looking pretty pathetic so far, although friends have reported seeing buses and people in hotels.

No masks of course.
 
You know what hasn’t been talked about nearly enough? The fact that Trump actually cheated in this election and still lost. Remember the whole Ukraine scandal that he was impeached for? Haha what a loser.
 
Another random thought that I had was how impressive it is that we defeated Trump considering his turn out was actually extremely impressive when you look at just his numbers alone.
 
You look back through history with Nixon to now and he’s been the constant.

He’s the Desmond of the island.

CNN had a piece on him being instrumental of the steal the vote shit.

Vice President Mike Pence on Friday offered yet another signal that the Trump administration has no plans to concede any ground to Joe Biden’s claims to the presidency amid President Trump’s continued refusal to acknowledge his clear loss in his reelection bid.


During a speech to the Council for National Policy, a conservative think tank, Pence was met with chants of “Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!” according to a transcript of the speech put out by the White House.

“That’s the plan,” Pence responded, later stating in his remarks, “I promise you: We will keep fighting until every legal vote is counted, until every illegal vote is thrown out, and we will never stop fighting to make America great again.”

This refusal to acknowledge the results, the truth is so dangerous. Continues to divide and divide and increase the temperature in the room till it just combusts.

The Democrats better get the messaging together because if not they’ll get destroyed in 2022 and 2024.

The cards are still stacked against them with the obstruction in the senate, the gop gains in state houses so they’ll gerrymander to make winning even more difficult with high turnout, and of course the gains that gop made with their high turnout (especially with non white)

Focus on what the party does for people. It’s the party that gives you healthcare, that regulates big business, that passes relief bills, that digs a country out of a recession

Stop with the identity politics, and actually do something to fix injustice. Kneeling on the floor of Congress is a nice symbol, but so is passing legislation that fixes injustice

Thinking maybe we should have been more proactive when had the ability to make meaningful changes. This is nuts. Minority rule!



This is still an absurd way to represent the numbers. It assumes the senators were elected unanimously, it’s biased.

The issue with the senate is the same issue with the electoral college - the “winner take all” notion. It’s like calling Florida or Texas a “red” state right now. Nearly half of voters in both states are not represented in the senate with their choice.
