Yes, excellent, throughtful article by John Pavlovitz.

They should start the impeachment hearing with his body in-situ. It might concentrate some republicans' minds (the ones that have them).

If they carry on cowering from Trump, it will be. We know this to be fact.

Very glad to realise that Biden rescinded the Mexico City Policy (as is usual for all Democrat presidents since 1985 when it was introduced) as a priority, so that NGOs which provide condoms will be funded again -- the spread of HIV over the past four years has been pretty horrific. And whenever the MCP has been implemented it has had the opposite effect to that intended: by depriving family planning clinics of funds, it deprives them of ways to prevent pregnancies and leads to more, not fewer, abortions, and ones more likely to be fatal for the mother as well as the foetus.

I really like AOC. She is articulate and thoughtful and principled. I don't agree with all her stances but they are all worthy of consideration. I hate that she has been labelled the looney left by others whom, I am quite sure, haven't even listened to what she has to say.

No one should go to their work and feel scared for their life. Especially from colleagues

And all the squad and that false equivalency with Taylor Green

Possibility for pant-wetting moment ...

www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/02/03/lin-wood-georgia-voter-fraud/

For months, conservative attorney L. Lin Wood loudly spread former president Donald Trump’s false claims that widespread fraud had flipped the election. Wood spoke at rallies and filed unsuccessful lawsuits seeking to undo President Biden’s victory in Georgia, which Biden won by nearly 11,800 votes.

Now, Georgia officials have launched a voter fraud probe with a new target: Wood.

(contd)

Just watched a rambling, inarticulate statement from MTG. No idea what abortion has got to do with her promoting conspiracy theories about 9/11. Has she done enough to not be chucked off the education committee? I think the Republicans really want to just ignore the issue.

Well, they thought DeVos was a reasonable choice so there really is no bottom when it comes to education.

Not wasting any words.

Fox News and pro-Trump lawyers hit with monster $2.7 billion lawsuit over election conspiracies.
www.rawstory.com/smartmatic-lawsuit/

A voting technology company that was the target of baseless election fraud conspiracy theories filed a $2.7 billion lawsuit on Thursday against Fox News as well as pro-Trump attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell.

According to CNN, Smartmatic is alleging that Fox News personalities, along with Powell and Giuliani, coordinated to wage a "disinformation campaign" that has put the company in jeopardy.

"We have no choice," said Antonio Mugica, the chief executive and founder of Smartmatic. "The disinformation campaign that was launched against us is an obliterating one. For us, this is existential, and we have to take action."

"They needed a villain," the lawsuit said. "They needed someone to blame. They needed someone whom they could get others to hate. A story of good versus evil, the type that would incite an angry mob, only works if the storyteller provides the audience with someone who personifies evil."

"Without any true villain, defendants invented one," the lawsuit added. "Defendants decided to make Smartmatic the villain in their story."

Thanks for that article NorthWest, I saw the headline about an hour ago, went away and then couldn't find it again, I thought I must have imagined it

Were there 365 of them, or did I miscount?

Is this real? From twitter

Trump has written to SAG-AFTRA president Gabrielle Carteris to preemptively resign from the union.
SAG-AFTRA represents actors, announcers, journalists, etc.

He's now avoided having his membership revoked

Ah sorry lionheart, missed your post.

M.T. Greene removed from committees.

Wow 230 votes vs 199.

Eleven republicans voted for removal. Interesting!
