WOW-Jamie Raskin spitting fire!

[kpete]

Raskin: They are treating you like a convicted felon. Actually, you probably wish they were treating you like a convicted felon. They treat convicted felons with love and admiration. Some of them blindly worship convicted felons

3. Representative Jamie Raskin, we are fortunate to have you.

[40RatRod]

4. I wanted to reach through the screen and...

...punch the two a-holes on either side behind Dr. Fauci shaking thier heads no as he spoke.

[AllaN01Bear]

12. since 2016 i wanted to do that . i have a long long long list of punchables .

[2naSalit]

28. That sounds a little...

Orchestrated.

6. Well Said Jamie!!!

The dude is a great Congressman!!!

[SupportSanity]

30. And if we make it rhrough this next election, Raskin for President.

He's unflappable. I've never disagreed with him. He's astute and very good at laying out the facts in an organized and presentable way.

Just one man's opinion.

[wolfie001]

32. So smart and can think on his feet!

The comebacks are awesome!!!

[soldierant]

33. The characteristics you site

are certainly valuable in debate, and also in administration, and sometimes more valuable in a Cabinet member or even a Senator than in a President. IMO we need to work harder on getting people that good into Congress, and particularly the House. The more people we have in the House, the Senate, and Cabinet positions that we can trust for good politics and good judgn=ment, the petter positioned we are to get Democratic Presidents into office - and also to defend good laws andprograms from destructive Republicans when we don't manage to get Democratic Presidents into office.

7. 🤣redefining "badass"👍

[peppertree]

8. Republicans always project - ESPECIALLY Trump

Every time they accuse Dr. Fauci of starting the Covid pandemic - it convinces me more and more that it may have been, in fact, a bio-warfare attack ordered by Cheeto against China (presumably for refusing to pay his Tootsie her $2 billion ransom).

And we know he was given to using mercenaries to effect foreign policy illegalities that the CIA and the Pentagon wouldn't go for. Operation Gideon in Venezuela (2019) - for example.

But as Roy Cohn taught him: never commit a major crime without compromising some power-that-be (or major institutions) - such that they, by necessity, become invested in your own impunity.

[jaxexpat]

15. How could you accuse TFG of such heinousness?

You'll, if asked, probably only be able to provide a few more than 10,000 files of documents and transcripts to support such an accusation. Yeah, you may have 2-3 dozen reliable and credible witnesses who will echo the details of your unfounded theory but where are your parades and demonstrations of fealty to your sanctified leader? Are you prepared to shoulder responsibility for the socio-economic collapse which will befall mom n' pop Americans everywhere due to your misguided and selfish devotion to facts and accountability? The hordes of rape-addicted immigrants pillaging wall street and other gated communities will be on your head, buddy. And, what, finally, will it gain the American people who long for lower egg prices and more abundant gasoline when you disembowel the whole of our God-given American capitalism? Will it bring back the victims of this innocent medical experiment gone amok or comfort their families to know the murderers have been soundly hollered at from the bench and must wear ankle jewelry for, maybe, 2 weeks? At long last, sir, have you no humanity? No thought to just how dark all this evil blackness really is?

Just in case it got lost in the telling, it's . Home brewed, none of that mass produced stuff.

[peppertree]

19. You're not kidding - that captured that tone of hostile hypocrisy they're so given to, pretty well

Hillary - we're to believe on their say-so alone - is a spiteful, lesbian, larcenous and murderous crook and traitor who eats pizza with baby meat toppings.

(and I'm sure I left some things out)

Trump - every evidence to the contrary notwithstanding - on the other hand is God's gift to 'Murika, embodying everything that's manly, patriotic and good. Because we say so!!

It really has gotten that insane with these people.

31. And the horses all appreciate having their Ivermectin back so they don't have worms.

41. The chlorine bleach prices tripled since the begining of Covid

... and have not yet come down. Are MAGAs still guzzling bleach so they don't fall victim to Covid ?

Demand for the product remains high. Supply is limited. Consequently the price of the product increases.

MAGAs drink bleach to stay health,...

I'll have a double shot of Chlorox on the rocks - with a twist of lemon - hold the olives... please.

Cheers.

[republianmushroom]

9. Good

[oasis]

10. Raskin and Fauci two heroes ❤️

[czarjak]

11. Didn't the experts say, "Not everyone is going to get Covid."?

The vaccine was just insurance.

[John Shaft]

13. Dr. Fauci is an American hero

The republican slime questioning him will never have his accomplishments and will never serve their country as well as Dr. Fauci has throughout his more than half a century of public service.

They will certainly never be as intelligent and as decent as this man is.

[LoveMyCali]

26. Can Dr. Fauci

sue MTG for defamation?

[judesedit]

14. Go Jamie!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

16. The GOP is dragging this country down until it's buried.

Exactly what the USSR promised: "We will bury you".

It's obvious. And they don't care.

[magicarpet]

42. Sucking all the oxygen out of the room so the government will suffocate and eventually die.

Then they can build their Fascist Dominionist Khrishtun Theocratic Utopia and read buy-bull verses to each other 24 hours per day.

[BoRaGard]

17. Republicans in love with felons

and hating on decent people doing their job.

[Mysterian]

18. We need more battlin' bastids like Raskin

Tell the cons exactly who they are.

[calimary]

43. Yes, we DO!!!

[NoMoreRepugs]

20. Is the next investigation into Lincoln's assassination?

[DFW]

22. If Sean Hannity can concoct enough evidence that J.W. Booth was working for the DNC from 1864 through 2017....

And don't think that he isn't trying!

Oh, dear, what can the matter be?
My T V has Sean Hannity
Each day the same insanity
Why does it have to be there?

Oh, dear, what can the matter be?
Sean's enormous big vanity
Big and fat like a manatee
I find I no longer care!

[magicarpet]

27. Next up for ReThug congressional investigations.

Dr. Biden hands out lunch money, to lower income children, coming from her own wallet.

The extreme right- wingers frown on handing out free stuff to poor people. It plants the seeds that poor folk are entitled to government payments to cover their expenses - like elders do with the ripoff/give away called Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

The government can't afford to subsidize the poor and the elderly with entitlement payments. Any government handouts should go exclusively to the rich because they will use the money wisely and stimulate the economy further so everyone will prosper and live with dignity.



Fuck that,... fuck them.

[NanaCat]

37. But they're all in on giving money to the rich

Like defence contractors.

And farmers.

And those business during COVID who either got their huge loans forgiven...or lied to get the money.

[orleans]

21. k&r & bookmarked! nt

[Uncle Joe]

23. Kicked and recommended

Thanks for the thread kpete.

[Skittles]

24. is it me or does he look better than before his cancer fight?

[NanaCat]

38. When you beat cancer

You tend to look much better than the period preceding the diagnosis. Cancer not only makes one feel awful, but look it as well.

Some cancers cause auxiliary conditions that make people look really bad. For instance, liver cancer patients often suffer from jaundice. Uterine cancer patients, especially, can look deathly pale and sickly because they suffer anemia from high rates of blood loss, but abdominal cancers and leukemia can do the same thing.

As soon as I recovered from the hysterectomy to fight uterine cancer, people were telling me how much better I looked. Some even asked me, 'Have you been to a tanning salon?' That's how much paler anemia had made me compared to my normal skin tone.

[58Sunliner]

25. Congressman Jamie Raskin, national treasure and hero.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

34. So proud of

My senator . Wish he was running again we need him.

[True Dough]

36. Just to elaborate for folks like me

who may have missed the news on Raskin's plans for the future, he is still running for office, just a different role:

Rep. Jamie Raskin has decided not to run for Maryland’s open Senate seat and instead will seek reelection to the House, where he hopes to become the chair of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee.

39. Raskin is a Congressional rep

Not Senator. If he's your Congressional rep, then your Senators are Ben Cardin and Christopher Van Hollen.

[KS Toronado]

35. Great post kpete !

[mahatmakanejeeves]

40. And sitting right behind Dr. Fauci ... NT
