Deteriorata posted:Yes. Once they had an insider spilling the beans, the end result was inevitable. This is why we need to flip the House. Pull EVERY SINGLE ONE of these motherfucking Trumpstaffel, current and former, via subpoena into public hearings and sweat them over every single last detail possible until every single of the many, many crimes that have surely been committed are undeniable and recorded for posterity. So that 40+ years from now, future Americans can see the footage of this poo poo as a cautionary tale of when government goes off the rails like we're able to with Watergate. Then lock up anyone that didn't cooperate or get immunity to spill beans on the Orange One. That's the only way we can deal with this poo poo. Eventually there will hopefully be enough crimes that we can kick his rear end out, or at the very least make his defeat inevitable. And once he's out of office, lock his rear end up! No more "the country needs to move on and heal" Gerry Ford bullshit. Woke up ornery today.

I’m actually more concerned with the Senate (even if it is more of a long shot to retake), but I’m looking for any candidates in close or close-ish races, and even maybe a few that may be a little more out of reach but we’d love to get (Devin Nunes’ seat, for example). This is a good list, saving it for my own future reference. Also make sure to look into your local elections -- city council, school board, DA, etc. Those have a huge impact on day-to-day life and because there's so much less interest in those, your donation money can go a lot farther. ninjahedgehog fucked around with this message at 15:09 on Sep 5, 2018 |

Yes that too. I will say that, based on what we're seeing with the 10 termer being turfed out of a job yesterday, women, POC, the progressive left, Dems in general....they're all pissed off. Frothing mad. And they're showing up at the polls. I, personally, would love for the women and POC to save us, I'm picturing/hoping for the Alabama Senate special election only writ large, nationwide. Down with this loving Nazi scum. Let's do this poo poo!

For those not watching the stream, Kavanaugh has just gone on for 10 minutes about how he won't answer any questions on stances, and has made up the term "nominee precedent" This is a waste lol

I wasn't really sure about the hand gesture until I saw the longer video where she checks her phone, it's really suspicious there. Her fingers don't just idly drift into that position, she very intentionally makes the gesture.Pellisworth posted:That's not quite the same as the okay hand symbol, you put three fingers together (thumb + two others, which two varies depending on tradition) to symbolize the Holy Trinity. The okay/pepe racist hand sign is thumb and index together, three fingers out. I mean, aside from that, it's not like white supremacists are above co-opting a traditional Christian symbol after the fact... Sir Lemming fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Sep 5, 2018 |

nine-gear crow posted:Again, there is a Literal Nazi running for congress as the official Republican nominee in Illinois with full access to the GOP’s war chest and campaign resources for his district because when he ran unopposed in his primary the local party officials were asked (repeatedly) are you going to put any non-Nazi candidates up against him? They replied with “nah, we’re cool with him winning” and so he did, so you’ll get Rep. Illinois Nazi Guy From The Blues Bros. (R-IL) in 2019 if the Dems somehow gently caress that race up. I mean still, it's funny and terrible to watch Republicans come to terms with their nazi problem. And it'll be hilarious when people actually vote Nazi. But he does not actually have any support from the Republican party.
