8. FANTASTIC speech! The Republicans showed distain for it.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries speaks for me and what I stand for, for what Republicans ONCE stood for.

With Jefries at the helm now, he and the House Democrats will be on the offensive. The American people are watching and they will remember who it was that fought for and looked out for them. I suspect the words spoken in the House by Democrats will not be minced nor cordial, but brutally honest as to what the Republicans intend to do bit by bit in dismantling the progress made on behalf of the country and American people no matter their politics.

13. Ironic - considering that half of them could probably use a remedial on their ABCs

Bunch of overgrown children.

9. Democrats: Yay, Wow, Awesome Speech! Republicans: Ouch, That Hurts!

Hakeem Jeffries, in my opinion, is definitely presidential material, and could be the next Barack Obama.

By the way - If you're wondering about his first name, it is Arabic / Islamic for a teacher or a wise man. A Hakeem is also a physician in Unani Tibb, which is the Graeco - Arabic system of traditional healing. In India, Hindus go see an Ayurvedic Vaidya, or physician, whereas Muslims go see a Unani Hakeem if they want to go the complementary / alternative / natural healing route.

WORKING TITLE - THE ALPHABET OF DEMOCRACY


@ 13:29 We will never compromise our principles
House Democrats will always put
American values over autocracy
Benevolence over bigotry the
Constitution over the cult
Democracy over demagogues
Economic Opportunity over extremism
Freedom over fascism
Governing over gaslighting
Hopefulness over hatred
inclusion over isolation
Justice over judicial overreach
Knowledge over kangaroo courts
Liberty over limitation
Maturity over Mar-A-Lago
Normalcy over negativity
Opportunity over obstruction
People over politics
Quality of life issues over Q Anon
Reason over racism
Substance over slander
Triumph over tyranny
Understanding over ugliness
Voting rights over voter suppression
Working Families over the well-connected
Xenial over xenophobia
Yes we can over you can't do it and
Zealous representation over zero song confrontations

We will always do the right thing by the American people so let us not grow weary of doing good for the American people will reap what we sow.

11. As a matter of practice I deliberately ignore political speeches, this one was excellent.

I listened because after the news buzz around Jefferies I was curious and he delivered a grand all-American statement, that I hope the Democratic keep proclaiming, "E pluribus unum." We are out of many, (different kinds of), people, one nation.

12. Wow!! Excellent! Off to a perfect start. Now I need to find Qevin's stumbling, malaprop filled

conundrum..
