Gravity is nature's force pulling things down. For the arc of the moral universe to bend towards justice, it needs to defy gravity. We need to defy gravity.

For all those so-called progressives who couldn't bring themselves to vote for Hillary because there was "just something about her" this day is for them. They own this. They enabled the theocracy.

When you find yourself defending someone with an autographed version of "Mein Kampf" while Anne Frank's Diary is being banned, you might want to consider whether you're on the wrong side of the discussion.
Hint: you are.

@GSmokesweed1
It's really simple. If Justices are going to act like partisan hacks with agendas, i.e., politicians, then they're going to be treated like politicians.
Want civility? Act as an impartial arbiter of the law, applying stare decisis as you testified you would under oath.

Rob Portman, someone with a gay child, voted to protect same gender marriage. Ted Cruz, with a bi child, was very much against that bill.
Both Republicans sent their kids a message.
Rob supports his kid, Ted does not.
Ted deserves the pain. His child does not.
@RonFilipkowski
For a group of people who talk about making America great again, they sure seem hell bent on undoing most of the things that powered America's mid-20th century greatness.
@WalshFreedom
Slight variation but same theme. Just compare 4 yrs ago (Mar 2020) to today. And then declare the obvious: we are better off than we were 4 years ago.
@tompoasting
@SpringerKM
Recall Susan Sarandon telling us no difference between Hillary and Trump. Nader telling us no difference between Gore and Bush. Al and Hillary would have appointed very different Justices.

@jaybrigitte
When I went to bed,
@KariLake
was losing. This morning she's ahead. Based on how she and Trump have described that process, she cheated, right?
@wychstreet
You can just hear him saying to a rural crowd while holding a piglet: "The man shits on a golden toilet. Does that sound like any one of us?"
@jtrebach
@theblanketdog
That's the right answer. Yes, sometimes we say things in habit, but unless it's being said in a harassing way, it's fine. We should be trying to make that phrase less awkward.
@CheriJacobus
Plenty of women were unwilling to vote for Hillary even as they stood on the shoulders of her generation's women. Hopefully, that mistake is not repeated this time.
@JamesBradleyCA
No. He didn't tell you that.
He told you basic math. Results are available when the ballots are finished being counted. When that is, depends on when the counting starts, how many were cast and how many can be counted per hour.
@Texas1News
Hesitant to assume true without multiple sources, but it could explain Republican behavior in hearings if they think Katanji will replace Clarence and Biden gets another pick before November.
@northlarch
@NoLieWithBTC
@BetoMedia
Xer here and I agree with that. It's only boomers who still think the old civility matters.
We're in a (mostly cold) war for our future. We need passion to win.
@Sifill_LDF
I'm a liberal and therefore was obliged to consider Tesla for my next car, but they're run by extremists now.
Time to find a different EV maker.
@jecrda
@OccupyDemocrats
It's why Repubs wanted to ensure Al Franken was taken out.
Not saying Franken didn't assist in that as well, just that Repubs wanted him gone.
@Lawrence
Just another item for new Amendment:
- No pardons between election and inauguration
- No secret pardons
Pardons should come with a potential political cost to the person / party that grants them.
@DanaSan68018976
@rickw51
The SC's position has previously been that acceptance of pardon is acknowledgment of guilt. Stone is a worm and expected. Flynnn however wore the uniform and got to 3 stars. His being proud of a pardon is a disgrace to the uniform he wore.

@gtconway3d
Jimmy Carter went on to build houses for the poor. Trump would go on to make license plates. And Christians love Trump and hate Carter. Go figure.

@waltermasterson
Given his views on women, he'd be the first to say a woman was asking for rape if she dressed a certain way or was somewhere risky.
Well, he talked smack and got smacked. Let him live by his own logic.

@ACTBrigitte
If you're old enough to die fighting for the country, you're old enough to vote.
If you're old enough to be forced to have a baby, maybe you should be able to vote.
@kristy_clueless
Billionaires are never good people. Nobody becomes a billionaire by following a rule that nobody gets harmed. If you're extracting that much out of the system, somebody gets screwed over.
There may be worse billionaires, but none are the friend of the regular person.

@nickfleisher
Some voted for Barnes because he's Black.
Some voted against Barnes because he's Black.
All should have voted against Ron Johnson because he's a traitorous crook.
@PreetBharara
If by NY you mean all of NY State, had a 1 hr wait this afternoon in a Western NY suburb. Got my vote for Biden / Harris locked in. Everyone wearing masks and keeping distance in line.
@JonLemire
Democrats underestimate the desperation of the poor at our peril. Republicans know that they can withhold helping them and still benefit by effectively blaming us for inaction on help even though they are the ones withholding the help.
@brhodes
@MaxBoot
We underestimate that most people don't pay that much attention. They're far less exhausted by Trump than those of us paying attention.
@StevenBeschloss
For all his reasonable sounding arguments about bipartisanship,
@Sen_JoeManchin
's example of one person blocking what 70+ percent of the country wants is the best example of why the filibuster needs to go.
@adamcarolla
I lost multiple family members prior to vaccine and none since.
You weren't correct about Covid. You'll never be able to wash the blood off your hands.
@BlakPantherBabe
That's only because things are comfortable enough for you to be able to prioritize that way. Should Project 2025 happen, you'll understand why it's not complacency about genocide but fear of something so much worse that's motivating many of us.
@pnjaban
Why? Because Republican state legislatures refuse to allow counting of mailed / absentee ballots to commence before polling places are closed.
@ElieNYC
A Black guy could be running away from the police and somehow the police argue they felt threatened and needed to shoot.
White Trumpsters in the Capitol? Not even any use of pepper spray from what I see.
This country is fucked up.
@PreetBharara
Should we avoid doing the right thing simply because it may not work?
Assuming his actions could be reasonably described as high crime, impeachment is the correct action.
The rest is detail.
It's never wrong to do the right thing.
@Bryan19121
If all 18 yr olds here were as passionate as she is about the future and just simply voted, I think the country would be in a lot better shape.
@chrislongview
@CanerdianGirl
@TypoToo
Right. We hear the phrase "long game" often, but that's not even the case here. Nobody is saying saying wait 5 yrs. It's more basic. You can't drive change, if we don't win.
@QasimRashid
@pritt4thepeople
Seems pretty simple: To avoid abortions - avoid pregnancy.
Don't eliminate child support, triple it.
Incentivize men to avoid pregnancy.
They're always telling women to not spread their legs.
Time to tell men to keep it in their pants.
@JYSexton
Apparently, the SC Justices thought their decision would be greeted the way Putin thought Ukraine would welcome Russia's troops. Just shows what happens when you make decisions while not being in touch with reality.
@ElieNYC
Exactly. If somebody else with a potentially lethal and contagious disease knowing did this, folks on his side would be calling for criminal charges. Given Biden's age, this is attempted assault at least.
@RadioFreeTom
@thinkingtime55
Alan Simpson forecast the difference between Trump and Biden years ago:
"If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity, nothing else matters."
@eiralaVpr7
Right. There's two separate questions:
Can he win?
Can he last 4 years?
If your worry is the first, that's a Joe concern.
If your worry is the second, that's a Kamala concern.
@toughtalkty
@acnewsitics
They read the plain text of the Constitution and quoted Gorsuch in the decision.
They did not violate the Constitution. You just don't like the decision.
@WalshFreedom
Joe, just start using the little "d" when writing democrat, and then you can say you are one. Be proud to be part of the group that is working to pull America back from the brink.
