If you're trying to pass an impeachment resolution when you don't control the order of business, you need a lot of coordination and Massie didn't have any.

Trolls from a one-party state are working for Hamas and Putin to cause antisemitism and chaos. Why is that? @CentristMadness
Yes it was. To show all those people who went out and vote to overturn the senate and the house that they were serious about going after the psychopaths in the White House . So far just showing themselves to be Israel first blue maga assholes.

Complete and total media-wide ratfucking, a mass hysteria we haven’t seen since the east Palestine train derailment
NEW: Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) missed the Hegseth impeachment vote as absent Dems doomed the effort. Pettersen says she was "denied" the ability to vote. She was at an event but her team won't say which one. They said she got stuck in traffic and Rs should have held the vote.

Oh you've come to a conclusion? Should we throw a party? Should we spend our parents' money to make a vanity magazine project just to tell everyone?
I have come to the conclusion that Hakeem Jeffries is the most serious threat to the progressive agenda in the country, more so than Trump himself, and that any progressive not loudly, actively opposing Jeffries is actively betraying their movement.

Jared Kushner isn’t even authorized to speak for the United States. He certainly doesn’t speak for me

I should have known. "OSINT" somehow always means "I have no information to impart but am running this scam". @CentristMadness @ok_post_guy

After the Democrats won more Congressional seats than at any time since the election of 1990, this 85-year-old member of the Independent Fossil movement says now is time to change course.
"Chuck and I grew up, literally, in the same [Brooklyn] neighborhood. I am older than Chuck, but we went to the same elementary school, the same high school. We were on the Banking Committee together when I was first elected to Congress. So I have known Chuck for a long time, and I like Chuck, personally. He’s a very nice guy. But, I think, in this moment in American history, Chuck’s views are way out of touch with where the American people are at—and especially with where [the base of] the Democratic Party is. On issue after issue, I think he is just not in tune with where his constituents are at." thenation.com/article/politi…

Rep Ryan is straight-up lying since there wasn't a vote to IMPEACH Hegseth. We don't need to be promoting liars, but I guess after your divorce you're looking to rekindle old habits. @direct_instrctn @CentristMadness

אני זוכר כשהתגייסתי ל-02 כלל צה״לי, היה איתי בטירונות איזה ערס טמבל שגם השתמש בביטוי ״נשרוף אותם״. לא זוכר את ההקשר. לא הבנתי אז איך יהודי מסוגל להוציא את המילים האלה מהפה אחרי השואה, והביטוי עדיין מזעזע ומפחיד אותי.
לא עברו כל כך הרבה שנים מאז ששרפו יהודים בשואה, אבל כנראה שהזיכרון שלנו קצר מדי. זיו ברנס מסיים את ה״מונולוג״ שלו במילים: ״נשרוף אותם״. כן, כנראה שיש מי שחושב שמה שהיה אסור לגרמנים, לנו מותר. מותר שיהיו חילוקי דעות. מותר להתווכח, לכעוס ואפילו לריב. זה חלק מחברה דמוקרטית. אבל לקרוא ל״שרוף אותם״? זה כבר חציית קו אדום. וזה אפילו לא משנה מי הם ה״אותם״. אסור לנו להתרגל לשפה הזאת. אסור לנו לנרמל אותה. ובטח שאסור לנו לשתוק מולה. המילים שאנחנו אומרים היום עלולות להפוך למעשים של מחר.

Ken Loach’s vehicle ‘Left Unity’ has affiliated to Your Party, set up by Jeremy Corbyn & the evasive antisemite Zarah Sultana, which currently stands at literally 0 per cent in the polls. Even the Morning Star finds it hard to put a gloss on this fiasco. morningstaronline.co.uk/arti…

"Danny K Politics" really is a disgusting PoS.

THIS👇 @Rep_Stansbury should withdraw the unneccesary apology she gave, after discovering it was going bad-faith, utterly graceless, trolls and grifters who would throw it back in her face.
Replying to @Rep_Stansbury
1. I am sorry these terrorist assholes are already attacking you. Start blocking them. It’s new politics now. Just block’em. 2. Feel no need to apologize to these freaks. Most are not real and 99% are not in your district. And when they see they are getting to you, they will only get worse. Starve them of clicks and attention. They are unhappy and mean people. 3. Stick to your values and don’t let them gaslight you. They don’t know you.

"you knew when that motion to block was taking place" Yes. At a time chosen by the Speaker to make sure he'd win and announced at a few hours notice. You live in a fantasy world if you think the whole world stops for a day because there might be a house vote you wouldn't win anyway which, in the impossible event you did win, would just tee up another house vote that you'd lose. @CentristMadness

Greetings, freshly self-appointed Democratic House whips. You have much to learn.
Unfortunately sorry doesn’t cut it. You should’ve been there early, you’re an intelligent woman and you knew when that motion to block was taking place even though it would’ve passed anyway whether you voted or not. Not a good start and not a good look.

This literally shows the timing of the vote was not known at 10.50pm the previous evening - merely that it "may be considered" at some point during the day - and even that fact wasn't known until Massie reintroduced the impeachment that evening. Sheesh. xitter.twitterapi.xyz/CheriJacobus/status/21…

This slobbering reactionary git was dropped on his head as an infant. Whether “too many” or “not enough” times remains unclear.

However strong the evidence to support easy historical facts which support around 75% of what they want, there are always some who are going to demand their alternative reality. Applies to all sides. @AnImminentKing @PuncheeBurro
I have no idea why you're spewing such garbage, by now quite evidently in bad faith, but I'm gonna assume Vladimir Putin sent you. That very evidently is not what it says and the fact Arabs are described as "Palestinian" cannot, in any way, be twisted to mean "Palestinian never included Arabs".

If Hegseth tries to get this guy fired - and there's a whole slew of people who he's forced out or where he's intervened to block their promotion for totally inappropriate reasons - then that would be an impeachable offense.
