And that's a euphemism folks. We're not spending ten trillion for you to live out your days in greater luxury than anyone who fought the revolution, won the civil war and DID NOT create modern wall street.

I don't even know if a single member of congress can remain at this point. Even if they convicted tomorrow, they let this stand for seven months because they quivered before the polls. How many crimes do you #boomers want to commit before we send you out to pasture?

I'm still mad nobody has said anything about the overlapping irony of that. That's quite amazing actually.

okay I don't mean to become salesmany but if anyone was told by a medical professional within last 4 years it was bad to smoke pot, contact me. We need a class rep.

Good. Both because I always admire standing your ground and because I will now eat all of them alive with half the effort QT @ammarmufasa: WOW. The @NRCC is okay with supporting the same people who attacked the Capitol and assaulted police officers. https://t.co/aKhjF848n6)

how about we stop asking them to help? We can amend the constitution tomorrow demanding that a committee be established that expels any and all public officers who did that to us. And everyone who says that's too hard...they made drinking illegal that way in like 8 months. QT @MRintouch: No question. No doubt.)

The statute unequivocally says the penalty is death. I'm not following how a ~900 page report written by staff attorneys is an acceptable compromise. @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer https://t.co/cHGQH9wszL

"When war is levied, all those who perform any part, however minute or however remote from the scene of action, and who are actually leagued in the general conspiracy, are traitors." @LeaderMcConnell @GOPLeader can either identify that quote? Want to guess the next sentence?

Remember when that gang of self-righteous white supremacists raised arms against the state in1860 and Congress made them attend a conference and then everything went back to normal and they stopped enslaving people? Let's hope that happens again. QT @thehill: WATCH LIVE: House committee holds first hearing US Capitol riot https://t.co/Bs3AQrkeLH https://t.co/Qiij8zELY1)

Unless they are playing a very sophisticated game of chess, the leadership's inability or unwillingness to state plainly what the penalty for the acts of Jan 6 are is extremely troublesome.

I want to be clear these are not schoolyard threats. But those who sought to profit by rebellion must now pay the cost of failure. Trump, Hawley, Cruz, Zeldin etc. should be tried and executed. And if that's too absurd, then open the doors to the jails and close the courts.

I think it is pretty disgraceful for @JoeBiden to promise debt relief for students on campaign trail and only now say he lacks the authority. One day you boomers need to recognize that you're going to need us to sign the front of your social security checks...seriously.

I don't think we should ask those who do not have long-term capital assets to pick up the tab for those who do. and yet here we are. QT @thehill: Sen. Chuck Grassley on canceling student loan debt: "I don't think that we should ask those who did not attend coll… https://t.co/NZPNFGld8W)

finally! someone willing to use a closer euphemism instead of a sniveling legal term. we're making progress. QT @CREWcrew: We’re not moving on from the attack on our democracy. The people responsible for inciting it, like Donald Trump and… https://t.co/pl55wfUIUw)

Is it possible we are living in not like just kind of a bad system but an entirely corrupt one that makes Russia look transparent? Is that actually possible? @doctorow

After the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Authority falsely represented itself to the court as the government, the court refused to hear her case and told her she was confused and irrational.
