I am so disgusted that 9 Democrats voted to censure Representative Al Green. He did what they all ahould do all. The. Damn. Time. They need to quit hiding behind decorum, and civility. Those things are useless in the present environment. They need to seize the narrative, make “Good Trouble,” and fight for what’s left of the US, the Constitution (the real one), and the people who depend on them to be their voices, ie all of us. I don’t think we’ll last to the mid- term election. ---

Was he officially censured? ---

Yep, the excuse of the spinelss was that 'Green, was making it about himself. Gutless spineless bullshit. I would like to write every Democrat critter that did that a letter explaining what gutless capitulators the are. Here is a list: 1. Ed Case of Hawaii 2. Tom Suozzi of New York 3. Jim Costa of California 4. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington 5. Jared Moskowitz of Florida 6. Ami Bera of California 7. Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania 8. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio 9. Laura Gillen of New York 10. Jim Himes of Connecticut John Lewis must be spinning like a top. 😡 🤬 ---

What’s worse, IMHO, is the near certainty that each of these votes was cast based on a cynical calculation of what was best for the career of each of the nine. Which makes them just as awful as the Republicans 😉 ---

Sadly, the Democrats have almost never been able to pull together when it really counts. ---

Surprised to see Moskowitz on that list. I posted elsewhere that I was disappointed Warren did not speak back to the Pocahantas comment. Trump and the Rs are so openly confrontational. I do not see the advantage to the Dems “going high…” ---

“Nice” no longer works. Time for “Nasty.”
