This week wasnt easy. Never in my life did I think I would be attacked and insulted by the President on Twitter, at rallies, and on Fox News. Never did I think that the President, Kellyanne Conway, and their obsequious allies in Congress would be calling on me to resign for doing my job.
But you know what? It was a good week. I feel energized and determined. And thats all thanks to you.
I will never be intimidated from doing my job in Congress, period. I will never back down from doing what is right. But its a whole lot easier when I know that I have your support.
From all over California, from all over the country, Ive heard from so many supporters who have told me that theyre with me. Whether youve called my office, sent a text, or posted a message of support on social media -- THANK YOU.
There will be more tough weeks to come. There will be more attacks from the President and his enablers in Congress. But as I said yesterday, if we ever begin accepting that their corrupt, immoral and unethical behavior is ok, it will mean that America has lost its way. I dont think that's ok, and I know you dont either.
I will keep doing my part. Thank you for doing yours.

(9,670 posts)And leading a path to impeachment, Rep. Schiff will one day be candidate Schiff on his way to President Schiff.
This is one exemplary Democrat. He proved his mettle during the long 2 years of Devin Nunes obfuscation, saying what was needed to be said without crossing the line. You could see in his eyes he was absolutely seething at the overt political shenanigans, but he kept his cool. Now he's the one staring down Nunes & Co. They pretend that they're oblivious, but by the time he's done with them, they'll know they were playing Candyland while Adam checkmates them at 3 dimensional chess.
What a great leader we have and will have in Adam Schiff. He is literally one of the smartest men in Congress, one of its most eloquent speakers, an absolute tour de force to be reckoned with.
Lotsaluck, MAGATS.

It's OUR turn - a solid GET OUT THE VOTE effort - and, finally, some LUCK!!

(6,518 posts)Thank you for being a responsible member of congress who understands what is needed to safeguard the 250 years of freedom for our country. I truly believe that we are in danger of losing that if tRump and his administration are allowed to continue the path they are taking.

You're great where you are, but I do hope you run for the White House, one day!

(9,090 posts)attack all day for trump and generate hate calls and mail and threats, hiding behind producers and call screeners.
they're taking free potshots all day. all those rw radio stations and the pro teams and universities that broadcast sports on them can be protested and all those advertisers boycotted.
and it wouldn't take much before the ad industry started having to ask advertisers if they actually support trump and global warming denial to avoid their clients potentially getting negative publicity. the monopoly would fall apart as stations began dropping rw talk for music and sports talk to keep advertisers. some stations might try to offer balance.
without their talk radio advantage, the only real advantage they have, they're screwed.
