On the nose Adam Schiff tweet:



Text

During impeachment, Republicans said “let the voters decide.”

Now that the voters have decided and Trump has lost,

Republicans are suing to overturn the election.

It's clear it was never about the voters, our constitution, or our democracy.

Only staying in power.

If we are going to do anything about it, we must forst be in a position to do anything about it.

The House was a good start. The White House is better. But to really accomplish anything we need the Senate.

They are owned by their big $$$ donors and their loyalty is to them, not their constituents. The longer they carry on this BS the more money tRump and the RNC gets. tRump gets 60% and the RNC bets 40% of the money he is scamming from his cult of morons. He will be raking it in, even after he is fined and jailed. He will keep his name in the news for his ego and $$$ (the only two things that he has cared about his whole life).

The republican party has always been it’s all about them and fuck everybody else. Just like their dear leader. The Democrats are all about helping others and the Republicans are all about helping themselves.

yesterday said much the same thing. I also remember when the SCOTUS was the same. eople actually wondered how the Court would rule on various cases instead of KNOWING you have 5 Justices put on the Court by Pubs so everyone knows what the final vote will be. I truely wish I could do something about it,, but other than vote, I feerl pretty helpless.

Fox made Republicans a fact-averse a cult, ripe for Trump to pick their pockets.

Some party hack decreed that the people
had lost the government's confidence
and could only regain it with redoubled effort.
If that is the case, would it not be simpler,
If the government simply dissolved the people
And elected another?

1) Re-open Impeachment AND allow for actual witnesses to testify AND present the ENTIRE, UNREDACTED Mueller Report...
2) WE will allow your asinine Supreme Court Hail Mary to be aired...we'll even let Ted Cruz debase himself on TV further in service to you and your warped pseudo-reality...

That's it. SCOTUS already TOLD you what the verdict is going to be in your case (9-0 AGAINST you LOSER-45)...but at least then we can finish impeachment with ALL the evidence on the record...

Now, fuck off and continue pouting widdle baby LOSER-45!!!

Adam Schiff should be moved to the Senate to replace Kamala Harris. Katie Porter should be Attorney General.

They are both currently filling seats in California and our Democratic Gov. can replace them with Democrats.

Not even all of them, but a very large chunk. Imagine how things would be if they had a sense of shame and conscience.
