“If someone is incapable of distinguishing good things from bad and neutral things from either – well, how could such a person be capable of love? The power to love, then, belongs only to the wise…." - Epictetus

The power of love.💕

The democratic best do the job of serving the people. That includes getting justice for every person wrongfully kidnapped, abused, and killed. It means taking down every corrupt SOB who has secured favors from their an administration. Jeffries better be listening. He is the wrong person for the job. Move on. Let someone with a spine take the reins and do what is 100% just.

You had me at ”clapping seals”! I’ve yet to hear a better description of the sycophants.

Elegantly

Beautifully

Poetically

Written

Yes

Overwhelming defeat; “…the revival of our democracy on the ashes of the Republican’s astonishing losses.”…”…historic collapse.”…”…close to an extinction-level event.”…”…overwhelming defeat and a full-throated repudiation of Donald Trump and his Republican party.”

We “Democrats have to get this right…”

Not as Jeffries weak-kneed it but instead…”…must include aggressively, even ruthlessly combatting corruption.”

Yes aggressive even ruthlessly avoid the mistakes we made before by, “moving on”

I can’t begin to describe how hopeful and truly joyful these across the board election results have made me. We won’t have to live in “Pottersville”! Hallelujah!!! “Bedford Falls” has been restored. We are all “Clarence”…and the bells are ringing.

Now is the time for both accountability and restoration…and they are one and the same. There can be no restoration of this great nation without accountability. If we have to elect a different Speaker, let’s do so without further ado. Don’t spare the horses! We narrowly missed the annihilation of our democracy. “Let’s Go.”

We must have Justice. Jeffries response to an overwhelming victory and his recent meeting with Kushner is tone-deaf. Jeffries cannot "read the room". That makes him incapable of moving America to Justice. Bringing corruption to a halt, ridding this country of ICE and standing 100% behind Ukraine will smear the taint of Trump and the Republicans. Affordability will be difficult with Trump's War, Trump's Tarrifs and Trump's ballroom/golf course/arch. Those all must be ended, but recovering the grift will not be done quickly. Therefore we need new voices leading us so those who voted for change can actually feel they can trust the Democrats to deliver.

We cannot allow Jefferies to be the speaker. He is an awful choice. We want justice and we need him to step aside and find someone who will give the American people what they deserve.

We must choose new leaders in Congress. Neither Schumer nor Jeffries understands the mandate: prosecutions for treason and corruption and lawbreaking and DISGORGEMENT of ill gotten gains. Then we can move on.
