1. Representative Nadler brought this to our attention yesterday.

3. Yes

As did the ACLU as we can see in the top post. It's not a competition.

[George II]

4. I found it impressive that even after running a long, grueling hearing of the Judiciary Committee..

...he still found the time to address this with his constituents before calling it a night.

The sign of a great Committee Chairman and Representative.

[melman]

5. You seem to think I'd find it upsetting that someone else talked about this

But in actuality I think it's great because I believe it's an important issue that everyone should be talking about.


Sorry if that disappoints you.

[George II]

6. Who said it's upsetting? I just figured with your deep interest in New York City members....

....of Congress, you'd want to know what Nadler was up to after his long hearing yesterday.

[melman]

8. Uh huh

Whatever you say.

12. Nadler had Zuckerberg on the ropes today.

He has a long record as a liberal lion.



Jerrold Nadler is a Hard-Core Liberal.

13. According to Progressive Punch he's the 36th most progressive member of the House....

In fact, here are the overall ratings for Democratic members of the House in the NYC area for the current (2019-2020) session. Some surprises:

4 Maloney, Carolyn
10 Meng, Grace
12 Espaillat, Adriano
14 Velazquez, Nydia
31 Engel, Eliot
36 Nadler, Jerry
67 Jeffries, Hakeem
71 Meeks, Gregory
116 Lowey, Nita
126 Serrano, José
166 Suozzi, Thomas
169 Ocasio-Cortez, Alexandria
181 Rice, Kathleen
213 Rose, Max

18. I like actual progressives!

[NurseJackie]

19. I like progressives who are loyal to the party.

[betsuni]

20. The only path to progress in this country.

[NurseJackie]

21. The "all or nothing" and "my-way or no-way" philosophies do not lead to progress.

That's the main ingredient for stagnation and/or moving backward. Fortunately, we have many MATURE and EXPERIENCED Democrats who understand what it takes to make progress by finding common-ground and showing a willingness to compromise. In politics, that's the way it is. Our WISE and PATIENT Democrats know how to "play the game." They are SMART enough to understand and appreciate the value of "incrementalism" and gradually but continually building on what we have... always moving closer to the ideal, and always improving the lives of others. There will be no instant solution with a so-called REVOLUTION, only compromise and hard work will get us there.

For obvious reasons, I chose to accentuate the POSITIVE in hopes of eliminating the NEGATIVE. (As the old song goes.)

2. Good to see that Nadler is on it so quickly.

[aidbo]

7. Lol at the people trying to throw shade on AOC.

So predictable and so petty.

[melman]

9. I know

And on such a serious issue. Sad.

[George II]

10. How is speaking positively about a Representative from NYC "throwing shade"? I don't see it.

[aidbo]

11. Why did you think I was writing about you?

[George II]

14. Who said I thought you WERE talking about me?

[NurseJackie]

17. Haaaaa! Bazinga!

[melman]

15. Bazinga!

[DenverJared]

24. tsk tsk ... imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

[DenverJared]

16. Tweeting about something widely published in the news a day before?

[Celerity]

22. She posted it 3 hours after the ACLU tweet, so hardly some huge delay nt

[DenverJared]

23. But the ACLU tweet was way after the issue was brought up by Jerry Nadler.

[Celerity]

25. Nadler's tweet was AFTER the ACLU tweet. Did you even look at the time stamps?

ACLU tweet



Nadler tweet




This entire thing is just attempts to have a whack at a great Democrat and diminish her over the most trivial of pursuits, and is thoroughly transparent as well as silly.
