Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) lambasted their Republican colleagues on Thursday for going along with President Donald Trump’s undemocratic attacks on the election, which he definitively lost to President-elect Joe Biden last week.
“These Republicans are all auditioning for profiles in cowardice.”
The audition was the impeachment hearing. They got the part, and are killing it!
By it, of course, I mean us.
She also lamented that “it’s most unfortunate that the Republicans have decided they will not respect the will of the people.”
Can’t be said enough.
The election is over and the people have spoken for President-elect Biden by a margin of over 5 million votes.
Chuck & Nancy, as well as other Democrats, should call a presser every day and tell the American people that Trumpy is a L O S E R ! Call our cowardly Republicans and tell the American people what they said about the election in 2016 compared to now. Really rub their noses in Trumpy’s loss every single fucking day.
The GOP is the Party of Myopia.
About time this kind of clear and unified message went out.
The Republicans and Trump have abandoned the American people. Instead their focus is indulging a 74 yr old man who acts like a toddler. Meanwhile the country is on fire with Covid-19.

“We really don’t care about covid anymore, do U?”- Americans
Sure feels like it. They are so afraid of his tweets and mouth, they literally are committing murder on his behalf.
Keep the brat happy, say anything, do anything. Except for what is right regardless of party. Can’t someone just toss him in the limo and drive him around the block a few times. I hear parents do that sort of thing.
There is no daylight between the GOP and Trump. It is about time the Dems point that out.
At what point do we go ahead and change it from Democratic Party to democratic Party? Seems like that’s where we are now.
“I want to be very clear with the American people: The election is not in doubt,” Schumer said. “This is nothing more than a temper tantrum by Republicans, nothing more than a pathetic political performance for an audience of one: President Donald John Trump.”
That’s good. Kudos to Schumer.
I’d have said “soon-to-be-former President Trump,” but I’m nasty that way.
Even if there is some.
From post to another TPM article:
Headlines on CNN:
“President Donald Trump had predicted in almost every campaign rally that the media would stop talking about the coronavirus pandemic the day after the election. But as it turns out, no one is ignoring the worsening tragedy more than the President…”
What is new? He checked out from the start. 240,000 US citizens have died with estimates of 144,000 due to the President’s lack of concern and action. This is also the legacy of the Republican Party as 4 Senators had the power to stop this from happening but only used their words and not their votes. And people die as a consequence of Party over the Country. Remember their actions.
Is the President (and his family) just simply trying to develop an exit strategy that will keep him out of legal trials that are waiting for him (and his family empire) when he is no longer the President (which I submit has been the case all along as I question whether he has ever really been the President of the US)?
Beside not being able to deal with reality, he appears to be using the time to raise money from his base that I guess will be used to prop up his failing real estate ventures and used to pay back part of his loans to avoid other serious legal issues. A fool and their money are rapidly separated - just look at them.
Does he think that if he does sufficient damage to the US and its institutions (forget the people, he doesn’t give a damn about them, just their money) he can negotiate protection for himself and family (or those of them that he likes) if he steps down? Is this about attempting to retain power in the Republican Party to use the Senate majority and those politicians as public voices to shield him from crimes?
I won’t claim any of these are reasonable possibilities, as no one can truly understand his actions. But I suggest that some versions of these are being discussed and in play, no matter how absurd.
Accurate enough.
Would like to say it’s mind-boggling but, of course, it’s not.
I realize in this enlightened era we’re not supposed to spank children, but I’m inches away from reaching for my rolled up Forbes magazine.
Congressional GOPers lack any semblance of patriotism. They always elevate party above country.
We are also the republic party.
Wow! One million new cases since election day!?!
Wasn’t it supposed to just disappear?
