The Gaetz clip may have been edited to conflate two portions of his speech. I have to admit, I'm always a little dubious of Twitter in general so I do a lot of double checking across the spectrum. I thought this was actually the more alarming part of his speech. "The Second Amendment is about maintaining, within the citizenry, the ability to maintain an armed rebellion against the government, if that becomes necessary. www.newsweek.com/matt-gaetz-didnt-say-use-second-amendment-against-silicon-valley-shoot-1595706Thanks. I usually double check these things but I was emotionally raw yesterday and my hatred for Gaetz led me to take it at face value. Oh I wouldn’t have been surprised if that’s exactly what he said. It’s mostly habit for me these days on everything. Hope things go better for you soon.

I need to just step away from the news today. Understandably but the mass shooting coverage has been nonstop here and the more details that emerge, the more horrific it is. I need to do a little self care and allow myself some space from it. It just feels like we have so much information on what will help this situation and it’s still never going to change. I’m also just really scared to leave my house for fear of being shot.

jaygee ❤️❤️❤️ Take whatever time you can for self care. Thanks. I’m actually taking a mental health day off today. I have a 3 day weekend but I needed a day while the kid is in school. I have some adulty things to get done this afternoon but right now I’m literally just laying on the couch with my dogs and drinking my coffee. It’s majestic.

God they are such cowards. I do not understand how they can justify not investigating how the capital was breeches and their lives were in danger. Even worse, they killed it before debate. So instead of trying to offer amendments and change the bill to one they could support, they just killed it outright.

Welp 1/6 commissionis dead.. is there any recourse left? Can there be a doj investigation or the intelligence community or some other third party that investigates this? I just feel like history is not going to look back kindly on this decision. What morons.

I just feel like history is not going to look back kindly on this decision. What morons. Well, something will happen. An independent counsel or a select committee etc. What Republicans have done is kill their chance at ensuring the investigation is nonpartisan. You can be a pessimist and say, anything a select committee or independent counsel appointed by the Democratic AG finds or says will be dismissed as political, so no minds will be changed. Or you can be an optimist and say that Democrats will basically have control over the narrative on January 6 and can use that in the midterms.

Fuck the GOP and fuck Joe Manchin for good measure. We need to end the filibuster, I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say democracy depends on it.

Seriously, the dems need to get their heads out of their asses and STOP TRYING TO NEGOTIATE WITH REPUBLICANS. The republicans of 2021 are evil, they are unAmerican, and most of them are here to fuck shit up. We have a tiny window to actually accomplish some good and put some safety nets in against the Gilead bunch.

The Republicans in office right now are spineless assholes who give no shits about anything but their image and their $$. FUCK them all. It speaks volumes when Mitt Romney is somehow one of the only Republican senators with a conscience and that is only like 60-70% of the time.

Are Dems just playing politics right now? Like setting up the situations to point to how Rs obstructed everything good the Dems supposedly tried to do? Sounds cynical but... the fact that they *could* find a way to do the good things and haven’t yet... suspicious.

They can't nuke the filibuster without 51 votes and they don't have 51 votes for that
