How Dare You Lecture Us About Treason?

The Honorable Representative Jeffries:

"This is a democracy and . . . we do not have to stand for a Reality Show Host masquerading as President of the United States."

Thank you, Sir.

Representative Jeffries deserved a standing ovation, not a warning from the podium.

1. Great tweet by Rep Jeffries on treason

3. He went at him, hard

A full frontal assault. Which is what Dems need to do--not let the Trumpster or his acolytes get away with the 'he was only kidding' excuse or a 'tongue-in-cheek' defense.

The man and his comments should be excoriated at every level. And those who defend the indefensible? Should receive the same treatment.

No Quarter.

2. Truth hurts. 'Members are warned never to speak truth to power'.

5. Well, they better start because . . .

we're approaching an existential moment. We either believe in a Constitutional Republic and the Rule of Law. Or we don't.

The Trumpster and his complicit acolytes clearly believe in the Rule of Trump. These two perspectives cannot occupy the same space at the same time.

I hate to coin any phrase of GW's but the time is coming: you're either with us (the Rule of Law) or you're agin us. There's no in-between. No Quarter.

6. I agree very much.
