Democratic Leadership, Stop All The Talk, Use Your Power

Fernand Armandi refuses to mince words when beseeching Democratic members of Congress, who he knows are watching AM Joy. If action doesn't happen soon, this attack on our country will succeed beyond measure.

Boy, does Amandi nail it. When have we seen the Trump administration act in anything BUT bad faith? When has it acted in anything BUT Trump's own interest, to the deleterious effect of all but the most wealthy, well-armed, and corrupt among us? When has he appointed anyone to a department he was trying to improve instead of destroy? When has he shown anything except contempt and disdain for any law? How can anything resembling fair elections take place, now, given all we know?

Don't tell me you need bipartisanship. That's an impossible, unreachable standard given this bunch of spineless, shameless, and soulless grifters.

Don't tell me it hurt Republicans when they did it to Clinton. That's a myth. As Philippe Reines pointed out, they held Congress, they got the next 8 years of the presidency starting in 2000, and they're back with Donald Trump. They've effectively poisoned the threat of impeachment forever. And if it DID hurt Republicans, it's because they SHOULDN'T have impeached Bill Clinton for blatantly twisted political reasons. You cannot begin to compare Bill Clinton's misdeeds to Trump's.

"We can walk and chew gum at the same time" being used over and over, while seemingly doing neither.

In my opinion, its past time to walk and chew gum, it's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum.

And they can skip the bubblegum.

Because that’s what politicians respond to by necessity. It reminds them who they work for and who they should be beholden to. The people who put them there in the first place. Us.
