Reminds me of the one scene early on in the movie Lincoln (Daniel Day Lewis version) where the one Congressman was saying (paraphrased here): "If we enfranchise the negro, what next, women be allowed to vote?"

4. Adam Schiff should be in there
For his performance during the impeachment. His impassioned plea to repubs, which of course fell on deaf ears since they are despicable people. He loves this country.

it wouldn't have been possible to fit everyone who contributed to TrumpCo's downfall over the last four years into that small space, so I focused narrowly on last night's Senate victories pushing us over the top.

23. Absofreakinglutely!
I was just thinking this exact same thing last night. Americans showed up and showed out to have their voices heard with their votes. Many, who have been disenfranchised, stood in line for 12 hours to cast their ballots. It does not get better than that and it proves that no matter how many obstacles are put in the way, people working together can get everyone to the other side.
Hopefully, now, everyone in this nation will understand how powerful and important going to the polls is and do it when called upon to do so whether it is to elect the dog catcher or president of the United States. |

I think I’ve been holding my breath since 2016, waiting for the next horrible moves by Trump and Republicans. I have been so pessimistic about the future of democracy and our country, but I now have hope that both can be preserved.

43. This morning's "new Mt. Rushmore".
What a spectacular image! Sorta sums up the Democrats, ‘eh?
Seven stars and seven patriots. Four men, three women. Four whites, three people of color. Three elders and four new faces coming into power. People of faith, several making history. And that image really does look like America. Just like Joe Biden promised. Another campaign promise kept. Pretty doggone SWEET if you ask me! To say “Good Morning” doesn’t even begin to describe it. The republi-CONS should feel chastened although I won’t hold my breath. But by any definition, they go limping into this morning rather badly beaten up (figuratively speaking, of course). And THAT, TOO, is pretty doggone sweet, IMO. 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃 |
