The Politics Thread

When it comes down to it Pelosi knows how to get things done and progressives in the House know that.

And not only did "the truth" come out, it put on a performance rivalling Ike and Tina Turner's!

Do we know exactly who leaked the tape to WaPo?

You'd think even Donald Trump would've learned by now to check for microphones before speaking.

How many times has he been caught on a hot mic by now? If life was fair, the "Access Hollywood" tape would have finished his career.

Seriously, anyone else would have been put in a straitjacket, muzzled and thrown into a padded cell long ago. Shame on all the enablers in the GOP as well. 

 

45 is the abusive ex who refuses to go away, foaming at the mouth like a rabid animal. I'm honestly scared about what will happen in Washington come Wednesday.

Every day until January 20th feels like a month. The last 5 years feel like 20 to me.  Like all of us, I need this to be over.

It's my understanding that the call was not leaked, it was released. Raffensperger, whose office recorded the call, instructed that the call not be released UNLESS there was some attack on any state officials, or a mischaracterization of what took place in the call.

My understanding is that one or both of those thresholds were crossed, so the recording of the call was released. That's just my understanding of the situation.

The fact that piece of filth gets to leave and not resign or be arrested is why Dems will forever be punks!  At least try.  Sedition left right and sideways and now this?!

There's nothing to be done until after Biden takes office. The next few weeks are going to be awful and probably quite violent. That's not the fault of Dems. It's the fault of the radicalized cult that the Republican party has become. For the last four years I have watched Democrats be blamed for the behavior of Republicans. The first two we didn't even have the House yet somehow everything was the fault of Democrats. Then we got the House and everyone screamed at Pelosi to impeach. Well, we impeached and it accomplished absolutely nothing but to embolden him.

 

The bottom line is that we wouldn't be here if people on the left had taken the threat of Trump seriously. Those people wanted to burn it all down and the world has been paying the price.

CNN had Jimmy Carter: Rock and Roll President on. It's worth watching just for the music.
