“Where do we go from here? First, we identify and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law those primary criminals and thugs—call them domestic terrorists—who inexcusably rampaged through the “people’s home” last Wednesday. That sort of behavior simply can’t stand in a democracy. Then, we take a ha…”
“I’m heartsick. It’s, indeed, a very dark day in our history. All those involved, including a deranged President who incites violence, need to be held accountable for what amounted to an attempted coup. It’s banana republic stuff, hardly worthy of America. Lots more can be said, but I’ll close by say…”
“The people of Georgia have spoken, and I’m gratified. Hopefully, we’re now on course, notwithstanding the challenges, to begin reuniting the country and focusing on the really big issues—pandemic control and assistance to those hurting, job growth and economy recovery, healthcare, justice system ref…”
“If there really was a serious credible issue about wrongdoing in the recent election, I would be among the first to challenge the results. However, despite a ton of law suits and baseless claims, there is no such credible evidence, so I conclude that any effort to block Biden is purely driven by sel…”
“His badgering of GA’s Secretary of State for votes is entirely within character—despicable and most likely a crime. How ironic that he has baselessly trumpeted election fraud and wrongdoing, and now I understand who he’s talking about—none other than the fraudster in chief—himself. Finally, we have …”
“An emphatic “no”. Hawley (and perhaps a few more) are just grandstanding without a shred of credible evidence of wrongdoing, either to impress Trump (what poor judgment as he’ll turn on them on a dime) or in prep for some further political ambition (pretty scandalous grounds for that). I’m just plai…”
“Yes, of course, I support an additional $2000 lifeline to those in need as a consequence of this hugely mismanaged pandemic. But sadly rich Scrooge Mitch McConnell has stepped in to say “no”, arguing incongruously that he’s not in favor of supporting the “rich” friends of Democrats. So who is? If th…”
“The $600 payments are welcomed but pretty puny for those in real need. I support the proposed $2000 payments for those in most need. It’s part of living in a supportive community. I simply can’t understand Republicans’ stinginess, while they continue to collect their outsize salaries and seem to obs…”
“This latest Trump insult to democracy is just plain nuts. Imagine Pence being able to overrule more than 80 million voters to keep his guy in office, even though Trump overwhelmingly lost both the popular vote and the electoral college (and not incidentally has been the worst President at least in m…”
“Seems Trump is riding out of the WH on a runaway horse a la the “Wild West”. While I grudgingly acknowledge his pretty wide open pardon power, at best his use of it seems corrupt and indecent. But no surprise. As we have witnessed these past four years, that’s who he is. He reminds me of Mr. Potter …”
“Yes, I support the Bill, but it’s much more than a day late and a dollar short. Hopefully, it’s just a down payment on more to come from the Biden administration, assuming the Republicans don’t continue to balk. Most every economic expert thinks we need more stimulus to save our economy and help the…”
“OMG, Flynn is off his rocker. An emphatic “no” to imposing martial law and re-doing the election where Trump lost! What idiocy!! That’s a banana republic move if I ever heard one. I recognize that he’s probably just trying to “pay back” for his scandalous pardon, but get him and other similar goof b…”
“For God’s sake, yes! They should have passed it weeks, if not months, ago. I call it “Fiddlin’ while Rome burns”. Now the Republicans present yet another petty stumbling block. Has none of them ever experienced a family member or a friend, not to mention a constituent, with a serious bout of Covid o…”
“What a preposterous proposition! I would absolutely not support secession. We fought a bloody Civil War to defeat secession, and no sane person would want to destroy our country for that sort of carnage. It’s madness on steroids and must stop. Despite Trump’s hissy fit and the consequent disinformat…”
“Let the legal process take its course, but based on what I’ve been seeing, I’m suspicious that this investigation is just another sad example of a prosecutor caving to the Trump team’s pressure to find something on Biden. They tried it during the campaign and failed, being rebuffed by all reputable …”
“Just another aggravating, wasteful lawsuit that’s bound to fail. Really, what’s the point, other than grovel to Trump and his gang and further erode our democracy. There has been no widespread evidence of fraud or other irregularities, and there are plenty of failed lawsuits and brave state Secretar…”
“Trump’s unbelievable hissy fit on his way out has made us look like a third world country, along with the profile in cowardice exemplified by those Republicans still groveling to him and refusing to publicly acknowledge Biden’s victory. I’m also fed up with McConnell’s refusal to come to terms with …”
“For God' sake, stop this nonsense which is hugely damaging to our democracy! There is zero evidence--just ask Trump's AG--of any election fraud, and the really abominable thing about it is, I'm pretty sure Trump and his surrogates know that, but continue their lies, intimidation and frivolous litiga…”
