Members I Am A Swede Posted June 7, 2022 Members Share Posted June 7, 2022 And it's no surprise who's hired him.... Marjorie Taylor Greene must be one of the most vile creatures on earth. (I refuse to call her a human being). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted June 7, 2022 Members Share Posted June 7, 2022 I completely agree. It's never been lost on me how many people salivate to go after the older women in the party, and forget Feinstein's long and distinguished record. But I also think Feinstein is ill, has made some key mistakes on her own recognizance that aren't connected to that, and purely for health reasons shouldn't still be in that seat. YMMV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 7, 2022 Members Share Posted June 7, 2022 I think there's a certain nuance which the online left refuses to appreciate and makes them easier to ignore. As a result, their complaints about Feinstein, and also about Merrick Garland and how his ties to the establishment have been detrimental to our democracy, fall on deaf ears. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted June 8, 2022 Members Share Posted June 8, 2022 I have no doubt that something is wrong with Feinstein and that some succession planning should've started quite a while. But there's no good to come from trying to drive her out of office. She's not hurting anyone. Targeting her is just the standard tactic by the left to purge and purify the Democratic party. It's never about building the coalition but always about making it smaller and more extreme. Maybe is just my Black Gen-X upbringing but going after elders just for being elders doesn't sit well with me. I mean folks here know how much I despise Bernie Sander but even I don't go after him based on his age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted June 9, 2022 Members Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) I see that NPR, one of the more reliable corporate media mouthpieces, is still focusing on the leak rather than the ruling itself. I have mixed feelings as if the recall had not gone the way it did, then she likely would have been replaced by a Republican. For the time being, I agree her staying in office is harmless, but I do think when it gets to a point of the person having to rely so much on others to get through, a question about responsibility and genuine care for her well-being starts to come to mind.

Members Noel Posted June 9, 2022 Members Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Yep. These midterms are going to be very interesting to see how voters across the country are going to vote and the issue(s) that mean the most to them and why they want their vote to matter. From a macro-perspective, is it: Gun Reform Inflation/Economy Abortion Since we do live in an individualistic culture, we have this "me! me! me!" mentality. Therefore, I see a lot of voters turning up because of the inflation issues and how the state of the economy is effecting their financial pockets. Then again, I feel like the other two issues will release the hornets nest. Or will it? Are people so stuck on themselves that inflation will be the major issue that surpasses their thoughts on gun reform and reproductive rights? These midterms are going to be very interesting in my opinion. Edited June 9, 2022 by Noel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members janea4old Posted June 10, 2022 Members Share Posted June 10, 2022 I was trying to watch the hearing on the CSPAN youtube channel, and it wanted me to sign into youtube and say I am over 18 years of age. I guess due to the violence? But a google account is needed to sign into youtube and NO I'm not going to do that. I could watch on c-span.org but the video is more choppy. So I'm watching on the washingtonpost youtube channel. Please register in order to view this content The first hour and a half is just talking heads of news analysis. The hearings start at one hour and 31 minutes into this video. (They committee took a ten-minute break from 2:30:00 to 2:40:00, which is full of news analysis you can fast-forward through) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
