    These people are miscreants of the worst kind for this. In addition, though, maybe we should update the rules so people don’t have to be in one fucking building all at the same time in order for our government to function. We have the technology, people. We can make it better, faster, and stronger than what it is now.

    It wasn’t an impeachment vote. It was a vote to send it to committee which is what the Republicans wanted to delay. The vote was moved up and closed early by Johnson. In all honesty, any impeachment needs to be done in January because it will actually pass the Senate and Dems would control the approval of the nomination.

    Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) was in San Francisco attending a Veterans Day celebration, where she was being honored for her advocacy on behalf of veterans.

    “Speaker Emerita Pelosi returned to San Francisco to join and honor local veterans at Swords to Plowshares’ 30th Annual Veterans Day Celebration tonight, an important and longstanding district tradition she regularly attends and will mark for the last time as a Member of Congress by receiving the Lifetime Advocate for Veterans Award,” Pelosi spokesperson Ian Krager told The Sun.

    Uh huh. Okay then.
