You want responses to your post so you don’t put anything substantive in it so you get 4 or 5 posts saying WTF?

We can't sit here licking our wounds about the inability to kick this moron out of office through impeachment. She is reminding us that we need to work our butts off in the next 10 months and kick them all out of office. Not just the President, we need a blue wave bigger than 2018.

Right now in our state Kendra Horn is under siege by the crazy republicans in this state and out of state, spending large sums of money to remind crazy Oklahoman's that she voted to impeach. They are showing pictures of Lankford and his minions smiling and celebrating that they voted to let this moron continue to destroy our country.

I sent Kendra a small donation this morning, and will continue to do so even though she is not my representative, Tom Cole is.

GOTV!!!!!

It will still take some doing to keep her seat but I will do what I can to help. I am also mobilizing some of my former students who live in her district to do the same.

If I understand what I've about them, the governor and his wife see it their duty to rule as if OK were governed by the Bible as interpreted by Franklin Graham

Gun control or more importantly opposition to it is what keeps a lot of Oklahoma red. My wife’s union members should vote blue but don’t because of this. I have asked many of them and this seems to always be high on the reasons.

It is abortion, gay rights and then gun control. The pastors here preach politics from the pulpit. Guns are not the issue as much as God.

So disrespectful! Saying that Trump appeared sedated! When he treats everyone else with the kindest words and never calls names.

They will "lament the coarsening of the dialogue". It is ridiculous that they have allowed Trump to say the things he has and "questioned whether it was okay to say that" but then they straight up criticize and are shocked when an observation is made. She didn't even say, "Trump is a druggie and a loser" she said he "appeared sedated".

But the guy wearing the plaid shirt (I think was speaking from the NYT offices) gave a dismissive first take of her press conference. I was really annoyed with him.

He spoke as though we’re supposed to just skip forward and talk about regular policy issues the day after bands of rabid rhinos trampled the Constitution with their deceit and propaganda displays.

To that guy, now is not the time for double-standard bullshit, and Pelosi was excellent in that press conference.

Saw a production of Rhinoceros in Houston. Has been on my mind while listening to the excuses and lies coming from tRump’s party of enablers. So much absurd, brutish behavior on display this week.

that her remark about his being "sedated" means that the Dems are about to try the 25th Amendment next.

Much as last year, the water-cooler talk post-SOTU was all about Pelosi, good or bad. She directed the narrative and upstaged the idiot.
