Experience and competence must outweigh charisma and personal ambition. At no point in any of our lives have we faced what we do now, Jr members of congress should be in full bore stfu and listen mode, because every skill, every trick, every bit of institutional knowledge is going to be critical in moving forward.

Pelosi should have a grafted triplet of younger members in congress in 24/7 observation mode who can then go forth and power curve others. This whole Pelosi thing is a vast squandering of a valuable asset and paints this party in a miserable light, to see our congress putting personal ambition before the dire needs of this country and it's toxic government. The American people just witnessed the grotesque results of a political party going POC, there are those who could rightfully ask how different are we truly from them in this regard (edit) with power struggle displays like this before we even assume control. January is an infinity from us at the lunatic pace we're all throttling at dealing with Trump.

Bottom line: the Republican party is at war with the United States. ALL of it, everything it is, was, and should be. They've done us a huge favor, the long held veneer has slipped away, and we can see this abomination for what it is.

Please, direct all fire, all ice on the true adversary.prlosi has the power of command that few, if any in our party today can weild with precision and effect.

There's nothing to frigging talk about here. The priorities:

1st - saving the planet, because without it we got fuck-all.

2nd - saving the country.

3rd - having Trump drawn and quartered in the public square.

Last - pecking order politics bullshit.

This is a very good reminder. I have not seen it mentioned recently. And there is a chance. Wintryjade Nov 2018 #1
