yeah, he's great. I hope he can keep that seat! This environment should help. "Should" being the operative word. Ossoff seems pretty good also?

I've heard him here in videos, and he's powerful. Plus he and Warnock like each other, and it's palpable. They're a great team.

I love that! So much better than "I alone can fix it." And you know, I don't think there are ANY Republicans currently in office (at least nationally, that I know of) who even seem to get along? Ally, maybe. Admittedly I don't exactly follow closely. The ones in this Cabinet are all freaks

though apparently Lauren Boebert has a soft spot for Raskin and she's visited him in the hospital and they've had dinner, which was kind of *thud*. Well--ok

I find that oddly charming. Maybe she is tired of the bimbo role and wants to learn a bit from him. Well, you never know. That's just kind of nice. Hope it helps her grow.

JD's weaknesses my outdo his few strengths. He's nasty, doesn't really like anyone, and NOBODY likes HIM. He has no base, no followers, no nothing. Congress will be out from under the thrall of Trump but not IN JD's shadow. Game changer.

I'm a sucker for "dumb girl tries to get smart" movies like 1950s "Born Yesterday" w Judy Holliday. From the start I thought if she ever got some moxie and got educated, she might not be a bimbo anymore. Could happen?

The party has attracted really creepy people. It's no wonder when their private lives are so dysfunctional.

I really think we all need to talk about this more. GOLIKEHELLMACHINE among others has said a few times we should be using "corruption" as a hammer and even more so, "character" or ethics, even morals, as a dividing line.

Right now, Van Hollen, for instance. How is he not a "leader?" He's not standing up there in the spotlight all the time and being super charismatic, but he fucking went out of his way because he saw evil being done and he wanted to do what he could to right it. Brad Lander. This judge Sparkle now.

Every Congress person who goes to their local detention center day after day and demands to get inside and do their job. I hate it so much when people on here whine "Where are the Dems?" Motherfucker, LOOK.

The few normal ones seem to be the ones who're pushed out. Have a scrap of ethics. Any kind. Like I'm sure I didn't agree with Justin Amash on practically anything but props to him for sticking to his guns and dipping when the options were do that or conform. Kinzinger too. Even (gah) Liz Cheney

It's sort of the, do you at least love your spouse and kids and dog. Do you balk at, like, deporting or starving children. No, it's not ENOUGH for me to vote for you; but, sure, we can march on the same side as needed.
