They're trying to fill 16 hours and have no actual defense. It's nothing but whataboutism, false equivalencies, slippery slopes that senators will have to do their job, and fox news cuts of democratic officials saying things. They've played this same video 3 times now at least.

Its even worse than that. They are only going to take up 3-4 hours today for the defense. So they have no real defense and its just lovely padding. House managers took 2 days to present all their evidence and these fuckwits are only using 3-4 hours for their defense because they know they have no real defense and that it doesnt matter anyway. I mean part of their defense is trying to play off a spelling error, of people spelling cavalry as calvary

This is the same line of poo poo we get every time we try to organize and demand better conditions or funding or health. The responsibility for the decisions that created the situation is nebulous, but if we walk out we're the ones responsible for hurting the kids. Every loving time.

I’m not remotely opposed to educators leveraging their collective positions for safety measures even if it means threatening or executing walkouts.

Some media narratives of “unions vs science” is pretty clearly just biased bullshit to make teachers look bad.

I think the goal should be school available to children. If that means teachers get vaccines or other measures to make them safer while doing so, then good!

It doesn’t matter! Trump could go up there in person, moon the Senate, and flip them off with both hands while backing out of the room and he knows the pubbies will never vote to convict him. I’m surprised he’s spending the money to do even as much as he has; he could get the same effect for no expenditure.

Edit:vvvvv exactly.

There's enough plausible deniability for republican senators with 2020-era republican voters to ignore the whole thing. The Romney and Pence types will be gone in a few years to be replaced with Senators Boebert and co., and the democrats are never going to call for their voters to attack the capitol the next time a Republican wins the Presidency, so whats even the point of voting yes? Not to mention (this is admittedly anecdotal) to the ~average American~ who is no/low information this all looks like the democrats screwing around wasting time while everyone is waiting impatiently for their $600-2000 checks.

Actually the average American who is aware enough to know what the Democrats are doing thinks Trump bears responsibility for the attempted coup.

Ted believes in nothing. But he's up for reelection in 2024, so to be President or a re-elected Senator, he needs to win a primary before a general. And Allen West is the GOP chair in Texas.

A lot of the Republicans pretty much assume that things can't really get worse, or they can duck the responsibility if it does. They're probably right about the ducking responsibility bit.

It was just commented that McCarthy's basically a sentient doormat and I don't really see the alternative case :v:

Edit: ah so this makes sense from CNN - "Despite this, McCarthy recently went to Mar-a-Lago and asked Trump for access to his donor list. (I was told Trump didn’t give it to him.)"
