Friendly reminder that we elected representative Adelita Grijalva and that Congress still refuses to actually swear her in after nearly a month.
Prepare to receive a poop emoji in response to your vote.
Not congress. Mike Johnson. The dude who watches what his son jerks off to. Also, where are the Epstein Files?
On his sons computer.
With his son’s sock that he originally owned? The Sinning Sock.
I don’t believe this cos I think the kid is straight. There’s no way Moses Mike likes any of that.
Any federal judge can also swear her in
Whether or not that’s technically true, that’s so far from how they normally do it that neither Republicans nor Neoliberal “the system is fine, actually. Just needs a few minor tweaks” Democrats and “independents” would ever accept it as legitimate or even consider going through with it in the first place.
This is a perfect example of how EXTREMELY wrong the system defenders are to ignore what the left has been warning about for several decades.
The Democrats have never had any purpose beyond defending “process”. They will watch their system die; all the while saying “we followed the rules”. It’s exactly what the liberals role has always been. Their purpose was never to listen to the left. Their purpose has always been a place where left wing electoral politics go to die. They are continuing to serve that purpose now.
Do individual democrat politicians purposely do this? No, but they wouldn’t have been allowed to be elected if they were the people that would do anything else.
Edit: I think we both agree. I just wanted to say that in addition to what you said.
A lot has changed in the 12 years since that article was published…
Nothing about federal law or the Constitution has changed that would prevent a federal judge from swearing in a member of Congress
Dems: yeah! Woo! We flipped two seats to D!
Every red state: Ok so we redrew the districts, we now have 2647277243 extra R seats.
Unless they get the opportunity to protest something happening halfway around the world again.
NOT if there’s anything WE can do About it!
-The DNC!
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory world champions 40+ years running
Until the election using the republican owned voting machines. Then we’ll see who will be in charge, again.
When it comes to American elections … I lost faith in their political leaders a long time ago … I also lost faith in the people doing the electing … or not doing the electing … or just plain not doing anything to stop this train wreck of a nation.
If you think you’ve already lost, you only assure that loss is guaranteed. Every step of the fight, you need to think, pretend, you have a chance. Few people are willing to join a movement that’s already lost. People must never stop fighting and believing.
You need more of these: … … … Looks like you … Used all of your’s.
Congrats. We didn’t.
Same. Except I’m surrounded and ruled by them.
Just as long as nothing else complicates the next elections! 🤭
To what end? They didn’t do shit when they controlled government.
To not descend into full fascism and give us a chance to organize and vote them out for better politicians
We have been in full flashed fascist for a while, liberals were at brunch and didn’t notice it. There’s only 1 way out of fascism and it isn’t voting
They did a lot of great things so the right wingers started saying they did nothing and the leftists ate that shit up.
