Nothing good will come out of DC until that happens. GOTV

Not how-to plans.

They will never get the House or the Senate unless they address vote suppression, gerrymandering and all the rest of it. GOTV is often weak in the face of this kind of obstruction.

Should have been raising a stick about it 20 years ago.

...without election reform?

Seems rather obvious.

There have been a lot of efforts, there are court cases all over the country re gerrymandering (which is a state by state issue, not a federal one, other than the Voting Rights Act reversal by a Bush-dominated SCOTUS).

We're winning the court cases, but it's like playing whack-a-mole to go after them one at a time. And, a game-changing one will come up soon.

or the ACLU.

That's not in the job description of minority leader of the Democratic Caucus.

I believe that the truckload of money that she raised, however, might do some good in the elections.

45 was raised by a racist KKK father. The old apple doesn't fall far from the tree applies here.
His father, as has been reported, was arrested in KKK brawl in the twenties.

“But an investigation by The New York Times — drawing on decades-old files from the New York City Commission on Human Rights, internal Justice Department records, court documents and interviews with tenants, civil rights activists and prosecutors — uncovered a long history of racial bias at his family’s properties, in New York and beyond.”

“The Justice Department sued Donald Trump, his father, Fred, and Trump Management in order to obtain a settlement in which Trump and his father would promise not to discriminate. The case eventually was settled two years later after Trump tried to countersue the Justice Department for $100 million for making false statements. Those allegations were dismissed by the court.”

... she's not afraid to hold back when it comes to criticizing Trump or the GOP.

Bannon is publicly identifiable. Who knows what is hiding under the suits scurrling around the WH.

The place still stinks and there are a lot more roaches to take over.

Trump has done so much damage to "normal" government operations that much of the government may have been infected with vermin. I feel so bad for the career people who really do care!

whining about President PENCE!1

Those adoring looks he gives Dear Leader are going to bite him.

I can feel a serious case of schadenfreude coming on.

Boom!

This needs to be the Democratic position going forward. Thank you Minority Leader Pelosi!

I have been critical in the past, but always give credit when credit is do!

He's taking meetings with the Mercers.

So, former head of Breitbart has now held a government position. I can think of no more legitimizing move for a right-wing quagmire of conspiracy theories like the flaming dumpster of Breitbart. And now he's got this powerful and legitimized bullhorn that has been waging it's shitty little war against "Globalists," which is their code word for Jewish people, in the deep deep pockets of the wealthy Mercer family.

Pelosi's right, this ouster means less than nothing. In fact, Trump has just received a new propaganda arm, since Fox is starting to shy away from his too-overt racism.

It's Worthless as Trump is STILL A RACIST!

candidate's promises are worthless. Only his/her RECORD is what should count. If they have no record, don't vote for them.

so Nancy's right, you need to cut off the head to kill the snake. 45 needs to be removed to quelch the RW extremists and send them scurrying back into their holes.

Why do I feel as though I'm sitting in a theater watching every movie that had as it chief villain a crazy man who wanted to destroy the world - gets cornered and tries to push the button?

How MANY movies like that have ever been made and we thought it was all fiction? The names must be legion!

We're living in a SciFi reality movie!

Stay tuned for the ending!

Bannon can still operate freely, for his (and the GOP's) hate-bloated, money robbing goals.

trimming the fins won't stop the smell.
