    Somehow hilarious, ironic, sinister, pathetic, revealing, disturbing all at the same time:

    What is the purpose of a vote, like the one tonight [on impeachment], where the answer is already known, regardless of the result of the vote? Is it mainly just to get Representatives on the record?

    A few reasons:

    Sometimes it’s to get members on the record, so ppl can’t make excuses later.

    Sometimes these votes create real political pressure that forces developments.

    Sometimes we vote for the historical record - to let future generations know we did everything we could.


    Hats off to Blake Moris for giving her just enough rope. Jimmy is having a field day over it:





    I watched her extended vid on the capitol invasion:





    Lots of hyperventilating Trump-bad, republicans-bad, claims she feared for her life (no details because of 'security' or somesuch) and how lots of people nearly died, upset about them flying a confederate flag, demanding resignations, internet censorship, bloviating on and on about the Precious American Democracy, and her own Bush-esque 'you're either with the people or you're with that mob'. Being the good little attack dog for the dems. She'll go far...

    jeers,
    I
