I just want to know why our democratic representatives dont react like the Maori reps in parliament in New Zealand!!!!

They take a stand and make sure their voices are heard!!! This is a dream for democracy!

Does the Transition law have no teeth, no consequences if they don't disclose finances or sign the documents? Don't officials have to divest of their holdings because of conflict of interest?

Is there anything that says what a high crime (impeachable offense) is?

Is there any way to make MAGA congressmen see that they are a different branch of government than the president, so they don't have to agree to everything he says?

Law? Do you think any of these people recognize legislative mandates as a boundary? I'm pretty sure we've proven that is a negative. It's up to "we the people"

Tristan, is it true Trump will wait until his FBI people are in place before investigating his appointees? Can't President Biden or our Senate start these investigations?

We must start with removing the big and dark money along with the barriers and accessing the ballot. Without those two prerequisite absolutes, there is no path to restoring our intended constitutional republic. None whatsoever.

Just sayin'

Since the Supreme Court said that the Colorado case was about Trump being on the primary ballot, (saying nothing about the ruling that he was judged an insurrectionist), isn't now the time for saying that he can't hold office? Will the Democrats have to bring it up now or in the new term? How is that supposed to work?

A non sequitur. Either spend our time demanding quality policy and good governance possibilities from the Democratic Party or rewrite the platform ourselves.

Why did the Democrats not ask for a recount? When did we have a modern election called so early on election night, with a known criminal candidate and the richest man in the world backing him? There is a lot of info coming out from Spoonamor about all the irregularities.
