Members DRW50 Posted January 7, 2021 Members Share Posted January 7, 2021 I'm aware that there isn't really much of anything Pelosi or the House can do, and I'm also aware that if she did try to do something, many would just say it's theater, but the knowledge - and this was with me all throughout yesterday too - that nothing will ever happen about this increasing danger (which will be there long past Trump as it was there before him) beyond some speeches makes it hard to not just give in fully to despair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted January 7, 2021 Members Share Posted January 7, 2021 Has anyone been triggered by all this? At home, there was a noise that freaked me out. Turned out one of the cats had knocked something over, but it just goes to show how much nerves are frayed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JaneAusten Posted January 7, 2021 Members Share Posted January 7, 2021 I wish I cared what Mark Zuckerberg thought. Too little too late. Same for Instagram and Twitter. But I guess it's better than nothing. I am actually furious congress is not returning until the 19th. This is appalling. He needs to be removed from office I don't care how. It just proves again that no matter what, these people are never held accountable. On a side note I hope everyone here is ok along with your family. I read your post yesterday @vee about your mom and I pray she doesn't lose hope or her fire. My mom is suffering from dementia and this past year has been tough as is has for so many others, but she has the support of a good retirement home, my brother who lives with her there, and wonderful caregivers. But I think she would he horrified to see what is happening after the years of struggle she and my father both went through in their younger years - all to give their children a better life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 7, 2021 Members Share Posted January 7, 2021 That's probably the smartest thing to do under the circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted January 7, 2021 Members Share Posted January 7, 2021 Hugs to you, @JaneAusten. I dearly love and miss my grandparents - all of them, who were part of the Greatest Generation. They would be absolutely heartbroken. My grandfather (my dad's dad) served in WWII and was a mailman. It's times like this that I'm glad they're not here anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted January 7, 2021 Members Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) Y'all were saying? "Nothing will happen?" Just because Mitch McConnell says something doesn't make it true and time to despair. He said they wouldn't finish legislation on a COVID bill until 2021 a few weeks before they did it, too. They will be back in session for this. Edited January 7, 2021 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted January 7, 2021 Members Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) delete AOC is very clearly coming for the Leader spot, but she's also absolutely right here. Both for his own political future and for the good of the country, Schumer should head her off as best he can here and do this. Both Cruz and Hawley (among others, tbh) need to be expelled.
