    They are still pushing this? We already know it’s not true. At least one person that skipped the vote was actually there according to witnesses (and I think video). The rest were at a fucking AIPAC event. We still have more work to do in 2028 to get rid of the rest of these Israeli shills.

    You know what I do when I’m expected at an important anything? Such as a meeting, or going to the airport. A funeral, maybe.
    I LEAVE FUCKING EARLY.

    Now if I was just going to the pub etc then it doesn’t really matter if I’m a little bit late. So, FUCK YOU, traitors.

    If I am absent for a meeting at work I get at least asked why, and would suffer consequences if the reasons are not valid.

    I am by no means an essential worker or a lawmaker…

    How the fuck do politicians dont get fired by these kind of things?

    It wasn’t an impeachment vote. It was a vote to send it to committee which is what the Republicans wanted to delay. The vote was moved up and closed early by Johnson. In all honesty, any impeachment needs to be done in January because it will actually pass the Senate and Dems would control the approval of the nomination.

    These people are miscreants of the worst kind for this. In addition, though, maybe we should update the rules so people don’t have to be in one fucking building all at the same time in order for our government to function. We have the technology, people. We can make it better, faster, and stronger than what it is now.

      That just introduces new problems like Mitch McConnell “working from home” and voting on every Republican bill despite having been dead for the prior 18 months.

      Actually, I’d like to keep it that way for now. These fuckers use Microsoft for their confidential emails. I don’t want to imagine the huge security issues they’d create in voting for budgets and legislation.

    Oh look, the controlled opposition reared its ugly head even faster than I thought.

    Voting matters, but not just at the main elections. Building a party that is a coherent vision is needed too. The D have their own corruption to weed out.

    Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) was in San Francisco attending a Veterans Day celebration, where she was being honored for her advocacy on behalf of veterans.

    “Speaker Emerita Pelosi returned to San Francisco to join and honor local veterans at Swords to Plowshares’ 30th Annual Veterans Day Celebration tonight, an important and longstanding district tradition she regularly attends and will mark for the last time as a Member of Congress by receiving the Lifetime Advocate for Veterans Award,” Pelosi spokesperson Ian Krager told The Sun.

    Uh huh. Okay then.
