The Progressive Wing

Fire away…

I just gave a snack to Justice Democrats since I’m not spending money on alcohol. 🙂

Good riddance to the orange maggot. We must make sure he can not run for office again–period! We owe ourselves and our country, y’know?

Rep Cori Bush’s speech:

Madam Speaker, St. Louis and I we rise in support of the article of impeachment against Donald J Trump. If we fail to remove a white supremacist president who incited a white supremacist insurrection, it’s communities like Missouri’s First District that suffer the most. The 117th Congress must understand that we have a mandate to legislate in defense of Black lives. The first step in that process is to root out white supremacy starting with impeaching the white supremacist in chief. Thank you and I yield back.

30 seconds. And there were jeers. By white people.

Stay on the Trumpcorp Train to his cultists

wow

I’m still looking for that Thelma & Louise one Humphrey posted recently. I hope he can repost it.

The next GOP President will be a QAnon activist and all these Congresspeople rending their garments today will be voting for his $1.3 trillion war budget.

We know who else would have a scathing opinion, if she were still around.

Still part of the Trump/McConnell dumpster on justice legacy.

Had a chance to do some reading at a few other news sites. The more i read its scary that it sure seems that there was collusion on the terrorist attack that if investigated will reach from the capital police to the president if the results see the light of day.

If proven will the US actually execute some corgresscritters for treason if found guilty? Sure justice department will go after the low-hanging fruit you know the dumb idiots that stormed the capital. But what will happen to the people that coordinated it, the ones in tactical gear with radios? You had congresscritters and capital police begging for help and no one came at least right away. Then theirs the disabled panic alarms in Presley’s office if true it raises several questions as well. How did they find Colburns unmarked office so fast? Exactly how far have white supremacists and other extremist groups infiltrated various levels of the Govt, Police and armed forces? We already have a few and the real surprise is the Qanon nut job.

What’s real sad is Evangelicals’ support of Trumpcorp hasn’t changed they support him like nothing happened. These evangelicals are as bad as the muslin religious extremists in the middle east. If trumpcorp told the Evangelicsls to worship a gold statue they would do it. More is going to come out I hope and we’re going to be shocked when it does provide they release all. Even the corporate fascists are worried as they pulled funding and don’t know whom they can trust to do their bidding right now. 5 years ago Trumpcorp pulled the cork on the bottle of the extremist cults and emboldened them now it’s going to take a long time to get them under control -pre-Trumpcorp. Homeland security is going to be very busy.

The corporate fascists don’t like what’s going on right now it’s going to be bad for business as they’re pulling business away from Trumpcorp as well. And to think history may end up recording that one quick-thinking Capital policeman who did his job correctly may have solely saved the US govt from Dictator Trumpcorp. If I understand right the 3rd 4th and 5th in line for the presidency were in that room that the officer leads these cultists’ traitors to America away from. It could have been an unprecedented event of Bloodshed in US history. This isn’t over yet the cultists are in a feeding frenzy now

wi62, I thought this was a profound comment. I edited it with a couple of breaks where I thought it would make sense for the narrative.

Thx i tend to ramble at times when the mouse is on the treadwheel in the brain bucket. I may take a year or longer for the feds to unwrap everything that happened on the 6th and i suspect that a lot of FOIA’s will follow by the media

Not to belittle his courage and actions, but even if they had gotten into the chamber, that doesn’t mean they would have gotten control of the government. They might have done some horrific things, but the military would’ve had to come in at that point.

With the Capitol police complicit, it would have taken longer, but Pence concluded the National Guard had to be called.

I hope none of the rumors are true about leaking out info about where the members’ offices were, but it’s easy to see that is possible.

Still too fresh from the riot last week.

yes. the actual military would come before they would allow an actual takeover of the whole government. i have a lot of confidence in the military as a whole.

Aint Supposed to Die A Natural Death

I have NO confidence in the military. They always come in just before the dictator is installed.

Missouri Representative Cori Bush, a newly-elected Democrat who serves on the House Judiciary Committee, is now proposing “a resolution to investigate and expel the members who attempted to overturn the presidential election and incited a white supremacist coup attempt.”
Bush’s resolution directs the Committee on House Administration and the Committee on Ethics “to investigate, and issue a report on, whether those members of the House who have sought to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election have violated their oath of office to uphold the Constitution or the rules of the House of Representatives and should face sanction, including removal from the House of Representatives.”
Forty-seven members of the House—including newly-elected Democrats such as New Yorkers Jamaal Bowman and Mondaire Jones; senior members such as Jan Schakowsky of Illinois and Mark Pocan of Wisconsin; as well as Squad members Omar of Minnesota, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan—have cosponsored Bush’s effort. Yet, House leaders in both parties are cautious about sanctioning their own. Already, Republicans and some Democrats are peddling nonsense about the need to “heal”—as if healing can occur without accountability.
There will be suggestions that the Republicans who objected to the certification of 2020 election results last Wednesday, even after the deadly assault on the Capitol, were merely standing by their party’s president.
That’s an absurd defense.
As former Republican President Theodore Roosevelt said a century ago, “Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country.” Trump did not stand by the country; he harmed it, grievously, and he threatens to do more harm. On Wednesday, Cori Bush told the House that “the white supremacist president who incited a white supremacist riot” had to held to account. She was right to say that. And she is right to say argue that every official who swore an oath to defend the Constitution and, instead, echoed and approved that president’s incitement to insurrection must also be held to account.

Very similar to Roman era politics. Oh how far we have come.

no kidding, and Rome did collapse and if the US doesnt wake up we’ll soon follow

Markets Fret Over Sanders’ Role As Head Of Budget Committee, Stocks Flat As Investors Brush Off Impeachment Plans

Guess it’s finally sinking in. The Dow only took a smidgeon hit. But Forbes and WSJ will be bullying Biden starting now. They want to be fed.

The House of Representatives has done its job and impeached Donald Trump on a bipartisan basis.
The Senate must now carry out its constitutional duty and convict Trump to ensure that neither he, nor any other president, can subvert our democracy again.

In this unprecedented moment, the new Democratic majority must show that we can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. Yes. We must impeach Trump. Yes. We must process Biden's nominees. Yes. We must pass legislation that addresses the enormous crises facing working families.

A self-described member of the extremist Proud Boys group allegedly used Parler to threaten the life of Georgia Senator-elect Raphael Warnock and discuss traveling to the US Capitol to cause violence, authorities said Wednesday.
Eduard Florea, 40, was arrested at his home in Queens, New York, by the FBI on Tuesday night. There, authorities said they found more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition despite Florea previously having been convicted in 2013 of a firearms-related felony.
Appearing in Brooklyn Federal Court, he was charged with being a convicted felon in possession of ammunition. If convicted, he faces 10 years in prison.
