Re: Haass and your vote Tuesday Feb 9

Richard N Haass ~ I changed my registration to "no party affiliation" after 40 years. I worked for Reagan & Bush 41 & 43. But today’s Rep Party no longer embraces the policies & principles that led me to join it. To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, I didn’t leave the Republican Party; the Party left me.

My letter to Ron Johnson

R-Wisconsin

——————————
Sir,
It is abhorrent that you have decided to vote no to convict in the current impeachment of djt!

You should be ashamed for this!
Shame on you!

Shame shame shame!

What a coward you are!

Sick and demented is just the beginning of the explanation for your support of djt.

Shame shame shame

Seriously disgusted and venting to them!

My letter to Bill Cassidy

R-Louisiana

Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!

While I thought it was ludicrous to vote on the constitutionality of the impeachment of djt, I wanted to personally thank you for your vote to allow the “trial” to proceed.

I would ask you to vote to convict as well. I know that this is unlikely, but you should know that all Americans are watching the Senators in this impeachment proceeding.

All Senators in chambers on Jan 6, know what happened and should be horrified. But, unfortunately Republican Senators, by and large, are NOT.

Sir, please vote to convict.

Honoring your stand yesterday with a vote to convict is the only right choice.

Thank you for your time!

Can’t hurt, right?

Māori lawmaker ejected from New Zealand parliament for refusing to wear a 'colonial noose'

https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/10/asia/new-zealand-maori-necktie-intl-scli/index.html

Snip>

Wellington, New Zealand
A New Zealand Māori leader who was ejected from parliament this week for refusing to wear a necktie in the chamber said forcing him to a Western dress code was a breach of his rights and an attempt to suppress indigenous culture.

Speaker Trevor Mallard twice prevented Rawiri Waititi from asking questions in the debating chamber on Tuesday, insisting that MPs could only ask a question if they were wearing a tie.

Waititi, 40, who became an MP for the first time in the election last October, was wearing a taonga, a Māori greenstone pendant, instead.

When Waititi continued with his question after being stopped a second time, Mallard ordered him to leave.
"It's not about ties, it's about cultural identity, mate," Waititi said as he exited the chamber.

I was not thrilled with Jacinda Arden’s statement at the end!!!

This also reminded me of when mitch the bitch silenced E Warren! Fucker!

Watching the trial of djt on the West Coast

When I get up around 5ish things will already be rolling on the East Coast and I can watch for a while before work.

Hope there is a thread to read later in the day cuz I won’t be anywhere near tv/internet.

Here’s to a collective hope that he gets his post presidency powers taken away.

Fuck djt !
